| - I am torn between giving this place 3.5 stars and 4, but since I cannot give half a star, I'll go ahead and give it 4. The design of the hotel and the rooms is really nice, modern and we really loved the smoke-free atmosphere. Plus you don't have to deal with any crowds. If you want eateries and casinos, they are a few steps away at the Aria and the Bellagio, etc.
The beds are comfortable, but having the bathroom door right by the bed was not my favorite, particularly because the door did not close all the way. They do, however, provide plenty of towels and Aveda soaps, lotions, and hair products.
Arriving at the hotel can be confusing, mainly because the Vdara does not have its own dedicated parking lot. Valet parking is complementary, but the wait time, from what we heard, could be about 30 minutes if you needed your car back. We walk everywhere when we're in LV, so that was not a problem. We also checked-out early, so we got our car pretty quickly. No complaints about the valet staff at all - they were all very nice. Check-in was fairly quick and the staff was friendly.
Our main complaint is that housekeeping never came to our room to clean it. We left fairly early on our second day and turned on the housekeeping light, but came back to a room that looked exactly the same way we left it. Thank goodness for the extra towels, right?
For a fairly pricey resort, I find this unacceptable. I am not surprised when this happens at places like the Circus Circus, but here I was not the least bit amused. Also, we would not recommend trying to call any of the hotel desks because you will be hard-pressed to get someone to answer your questions...or at all.
Personally, I would rather stay at the Aria, which was awesome from beginning to end, or any of the other wonderful resorts out there.
