This place was the best I've stayed at in Vegas thus far! From check-in to checkout, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The entire building is smoke free (hallelujah!)! The lobby was beautiful but had nothing on the room itself. We had an upgraded suite with Bellagio fountain views. This was easily the largest and most well maintained room we have been to in the area. Loved the decor and having the kitchenette was a lifesaver. Piece of advice- grab a Lyft and visit a grocery store off the strip (only a mile or two away) and grab some staples like water, sandwich stuff, and most importantly liquor, to save a few bucks while visiting. Your wallet will thank you!
My absolute favorite part of the room was the view. If you can swing the extra money it is definitely worth it. The first night we sat with all the lights out and just watched the city sparkle and the fountains dance. It was an epic view for my special birthday!
We thought we could use Arias pool which I was excited for but that is not the case. Unless Vdara's pool is closed you cannot get a pool pass for Aria. Initially I was bummed but we got a daybed for only $75 for the entire day. The service, food and prices were top notch and I had such a great time that we booked it for a second day. Haley who helped us at the cabana rentals was so fun and made us feel welcome each day! Vdara- she deserves huge kudos for making my birthday amazing!
Cons- these things didn't bother me but could be a big detractor for some. There is no casino here. You are a short walk to Aria but if you need one steps away, this is not your place. Also, while I would consider it on the strip, the strip is not easily accessible from here. You do need to walk through Aria or Bellagio to get anywhere. I really wished there was an easier way to access the Cosmopolitan too.
If you can't tell, I'm a huge fan of this place and can't wait to visit again!!
