We spent a really nice birthday weekend at the Vdara. Entering the property is a bit confusing. It is located in city center adjacent to the Aria. There is no self parking. Only complementary valet. The hotel does not have a casino which is also quite okay if you are looking for a relaxing time. Centrally located on the strip many desirable attractions are close by. The suites have a kitchenette but you have to request pots and pans from housekeeping. The entire property is smoke free which was a plus.
