Second time staying here at Vdara. 1st time for was for business 2 years ago. This time was for our Anniversary and wanted to treat my wife to a nice hotel away from the casinos and smoke. There are fees for almost everything, but nothing we didn't know about going in. Yes, I don't care for these resort fees as we don't use the amenities, but it is what it is. The Valet is efficient. The front Desk is friendly and efficient. The rooms are clean, the view is not the greatest. What I do like, that is under-appreciated, is the thickness of the walls between the rooms. Both stays, noise doesn't travel easily from other rooms, like you may experience at other hotels, which is nice.
5 stars, but when comparing my stay at the Wynn. The rooms and beds at the Wynn were a huge step up. Both hotels are 5stars .... but there is free parking at the Wynn. When balancing these factors with the price .... I believe Vdara is a good value and we got exactly what we expected.
