| - Our room ran us $130, and they upgraded us to an executive suite free of charge when I asked if they had any upgrades. Most of the other resorts on/near the strip smell horrible because smoking is allowed, but thankfully Vdara has a no smoking policy.
The WiFi was a bit dodgy at first, but it took them 5 minutes to resolve that and we had no issues with it afterwards. The service was generally great; staff members were helpful, accommodating, and anything we asked for was in our room within 10 minutes.
There isn't a lot to eat at Vdara aside from Starbucks and a cafe. However, it is connected to Aria and Bellagio, both of which have plenty to eat. Also, there is no casino inside Vdara, but both Aria and Bellagio have casinos.
If you're doing the Vegas Strip walk, Vdara is a great place to start. Just head through Bellagio, out the main doors, and there's a water-show there that runs every 15 minutes. The water show looks magnificent when it gets dark, so come early or be prepared to wait. You can access the rest of the strip from where the water-show takes place.
All in all, I have no complaints. The only minor issue I have is that there is no self-parking; valet is the only option. On the other hand, the room was relatively cheap, the service was great, and Vdara is located in a prime area. The positives outweigh the negatives by a long shot.
