Vdara Hotel and Spa

Todd Galloway

I just wrapped up a great stay at Vdara and honestly, it’s a game-changer if you’re staying in Vegas for more than a couple of days. The Highlights: - Smooth Start: Checked in online and used a digital key to go straight to my room. Super easy. - Solid Security: Staff watches the elevators and you need your key to move them, so I felt very safe the whole time. - The Room: Huge for the strip! Having a kitchen area with a stove, microwave, and a personal mini-fridge (not just the snack-bar ones) is awesome for saving some cash on food. The bathroom is also a win with a massive soaking tub. - Location: No casino inside (which is nice and quiet), but Aria is a 2-minute walk away. Plus, the bridges to Bellagio and Cosmo make grabbing dinner anywhere else a breeze. A Couple of Notes: - The spa massages were wonderful and the staff was super friendly. However, the spa facility is a bit smaller than others in town and had a couple of maintenance issues like a ceiling leak. Also, a suggestion for management: an 80-minute massage option would be the perfect middle ground between the 50 and 100-minute sessions! - Some of the furniture is looking a little dated/worn, but it didn't really take away from the stay. Overall, if you want space and a kitchen without leaving the Strip, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back!

This hotel offers a great value for the proximity to casinos and other attractions. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The location is a little off the main strip, but highly accessible otherwise. The rooms are spacious and some have good views of the surrounding scenery. Overall a good stay. Highly recommend if you’re trying to avoid the Casino/Hotel type.

Vdara is strategically located at the City Center adjacent to Aria, Crystal Shops, The Cosmopolitan and Waldorf Astoria. It's also connected to Park MGM and Bellagio via walkways. Although it's at the hub of the Strip, it's actually away from Las Vegas Blvd hence less traffic noise from the room. A portion of the rooms are actually individually owned but managed by MGM. Unit 16032 has great views of the Sphere among other things. It's close to the elevators so there's more noise from the foot traffic but tolerable. The studio layout conveniently separates the entrance with a dining table and kitchenette, a sitting area and the sleeping quarter and the bathroom. It is a good balance between a hotel and an apartment. There's no casino, which is another plus although Aria is just a short walk away with all the actions and restaurants. The best part is you could go to any MGM Resorts' restaurants and charged it to the room. The marketplace on the first floor serves beverages, sandwiches and pastries. There's also Starbucks and a bar lounge. Cleaning is not included for the stay but is available at a fee and additional towels, robes or kitchenware can be requested through housekeeping. Another advantage is the fact that valet parking is complementary (please tip the attendant), and there's no resort fees, saving $70+ per night.

What a fantastic place. Rooms ironically feel a little dated but linen and pillows are awesome. The property is super clean and easy to navigate. The little store downstairs is 24/7 and a little spendy but super convenient. The property is feet away from Aria which has the Casino if you are into that which is what sets this place apart, no casino. Believe me, it makes a difference and in a positive way. If you want to game, it is a 3min walk.

This hotel is a convenient option if you’re looking to avoid the smoke/noises of a normal Casino lobby. Check in was easy, you can easily access the Bellagio, Aria, and Cosmopolitan within a short walk. Stayed at the panoramic suite room 001 on the 14th floor. The room was spacious, great views, and for the most part clean. There aren’t a lot of restaurant options here, but easily accessible near by. You can also have food delivered to your room, they provide easy ordering with a detailed digital menu. Being right over the Aria Tram, we were subject to pretty heavy road noise. Not terrible, but you will for sure hear everyone on a motorcycle or with a custom exhaust. I personally will try another location on my next visit to explore, but I do recommend this hotel. Hopefully the spa its known for is functional when you arrive. If not Aria right across the street is an alternative.
