Not your typical Vegas Casino hotel. Vdara is a very nice addition to the Vegas strip. It is a hotel that put you at the midst of actions and still provides an escape from all the noisy casinos and cigar polluted air.
Room (4.5/5 Stars) - The deluxe room is a pretty spacious suite with a decent size kitchenette and separate dining area. Microwave comes in handle at times but I wish they put a coffee maker there as well. Decor are modern and chic. Appliances are new but the cabinets seem a bit flimsy. Some already have dents and scratches. With the convertible queen size sofa bed in the living room and a king size bed, this room could fit 4 people. I like how the living and sleeping area are sectioned by the back to back LCD TVs. Bathroom is bright and roomy with a tub and a shower. The tub even has a shower head! What more can you ask for? Well...maybe a bit more counter top space. The sliding door for the bathroom is a bit hard to operate.
Location (4/5 Stars) - Vdara is technically slightly off the strip but still very accessible. It is connected to Bellagio and is a short walk from the sister hotel Aria. I love the fact that I don't have to walk through any casino area to get on the strip. You could also use the monorail that takes you to Aria/Crystal and Monte Carlo.
Service (5/5 Stars) - Staff was courteous and service was almost flawless. My only complaint is that it took a while for the bell service to bring my luggage to my room.
Property Amenities (3.5/5 Stars) - There are only one restaurants (limited hours) and one bar at this hotel. Although restaurants in Aria and Bellagio are still fairly accessible.
Overall a great place to stay and I would recommend Vdara to anyone who wouldn't mind a slightly different Vegas hotel experience.
