Vdara Hotel and Spa

Esaa Ali

After extensive research, I selected the Vdara because it wasn't located directly on the strip and the fact that there is no Casino in the building. I've stayed in other hotels on the strip and I wanted something quieter and less smoky. Access to the strip was still convenient and easy through a connected passage with the Bellagio, and Cosmopolitan. The rooms were more than adequately appointed including a fridge. The room felt modern and welcoming. Checking in was super easy using the MGM app. I highly recommend and would stay again in a heartbeat.

I will stay here again. If you want a 5-star hotel without the casino crowds, this place is great. And, it has very easy access to Bellagio, Aria and the strip. There is also a fine cafe downstairs that serves reasonably priced food and without long lines. There was also a Starbucks, if you prefer that. And no loud disco nearby. A few minor complaints: It's not possible to turn off the lights from the bed. They have a tiny reading light that is inadequate so you need to leave the main lights on and the switch is near the entrance. (I did say minor complaints.) They could also spring for better toilet paper and tissue. They need to offer lighter blankets (I asked and they didn't have them so I bought one from CVS). The blanket they have is way to heavy/hot for me even when I turn the AC way down. On this last point, I would think hotels would save $ on AC if they provided lighter blankets. Lastly, the bathroom sink is not well designed because someone thought a flat sink looked cool not realizing it wouldn't drain. Again, all minor issues and I'll definitely stay at the Vdara again.

First time staying at Vdara. It exceeded my expectations. We have stayed at a lot of different places on the Las Vegas Strip and this would be my choice for future stays. It is a non- casino condo-hotel, and is very peaceful and relaxing. The room was large and comfortable- and very clean. Huge bonus for me that there was a normal mini fridge for our use in addition to the stocked fridge. I had a medication that requires refrigeration, and this made it completely hassle free. The pool was relaxing, not crowded. Top notch service at the pool bar. As a kudos to the hotel, the housekeeping staff were warm and friendly, greeting us every time we saw them. They were so pleasant, that it stood out in my mind and made our stay feel even more enjoyable. It is a very brief walk to Aria and an indoor walkway that is connected to the Cosmopolitan-very easy, and quick access to two casinos and lots of restaraunt options. There is a lounge in Vdara lobby with cocktails and limited food menu, as well, making that a convenient option.

I stayed at Vdara 10/16-20 when traveling to Vegas for a music festival. I typically stay at Fontainebleau (which is phenomenal), but it was booked up with the exception of top-floor, super-expensive suites that were way out of my price range. Vdara was much better deal for the price, so I took it. The service at this hotel was very friendly. Everyone I interacted with seemed genuinely invested in making sure guests had a good experience. My first impression of the room was that it was absolutely huge! Super spacious with a kitchenette (complete with stovetop), living room area, and bedroom. Overall, this felt more like a studio apartment and less like a hotel room! The room was a bit dated, but it was well-maintained. The breakfast was surprisingly reasonable for Vegas. A (very tasty) blueberry muffin and coffee were about $10, which is a good bit less than Fontainebleau. I also got a $100 food credit, which I used at Lemongrass (super good Thai restaurant at Aria) and Nine Fine Irishmen. The hotel is connected to the Cosmopolitan and Aria, but it’s a haul to get from Cosmopolitan (a bit less so from Aria). Then again, it’s Las Vegas, so you need to mentally prepare yourself for a ton of walking. That said, once you’re on the Strip, you’re in a great location near Bellagio. Would recommend!

The room had fantastic views of the Bellagio fountains, the Sphere, the High Roller, and the Paris Eiffel Tower. We chose a studio Suite on the 45th floor with Fountain view. The staff were exceptional and we greatly appreciated how attentive they were. We did have issues with Vdara charging $40 for valet and $20 for self-parking. The self parking is extremely inconvenient and you have to park on the other side of Aria or in the Cosmopolitan parking lot. We appreciated that there was an indoor walkway to The Cosmopolitan and also to Bellagio, as well as to the rail station that was complimentary to other MGM properties. The food is a little limited and we did order room service. We were very disappointed it arrived in paper and plastic unless you spent $125. We spent $56 for 1 omelette and 1 order of pancakes no beverages...way too expensive to arrive in a paper bag 😔. It's sad to see this type of service to your customers. 😔 We were there 4 days and did not eat there again. We went other places where we felt we got a better value. Other than a few disappointments, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially when you were able to tune in the music to watch the Bellagio fountains.
