| - I was very excited to finally get the chance to experience City Center during my last trip to LV. When I moved away from the area, City Center was still just a much of scaffolding with a couple pieces of glass on it. To see it finished, and be able to stay at Vdara, was truly a treat.
Checking in late on a Wednesday I never expected an upgrade to a corner suite, but sure enough I got one! Oh boy, how can I ever stay in a regular hotel room again? Full kitchen, washer and drier, large living room separated from the bedroom by beautiful smoked glass doors, and (my favorite) separate soaking tub and glassed in shower. Sooo nice. I couldn't have asked not more. Even though our view wasn't that amazing from the 6th floor facing the parking garage, it just didn't matter with all the luxury around us. Truly a beautiful room!
My only complaints with Vdara would be the room cleaning service and the fitness center. On 3 out of the 5 days during my stay all my wash cloths were taken but not replaced. Also, after using the 4 glasses and 1 (yes, only 1) mug in the kitchen, they were also taken but not replaced. It was pretty annoying...Then the fitness center so waayyy too small. The 3 times I went it was packed tighter than a can of sardines; no cardio equipment open, no room for functional training. I know vacations aren't supposed to be about working out - most of the time - but I really would have appreciated a more conducive place to my fitness.
Overall my experience was wonderful. I would stay again without hesitation. Believe what others say about this being a hotel you can actually sleep at in LV. It was very quiet. On the 6th floor I only heard trucks in the morning; nothing at night. If you're like me and don't go to LV for the nightlife, you'll love this just as much as I did.
Get a room! Ask for an upgrade. You won't be disappointed!
