 | 	- An overdue review. We stayed at Vdara in past December, treating ourselves to a weekend on the town.
If I remember correctly, we booked two nights in a Panoramic Suite. As we checked in, we got a complimentary upgrade to a One-Bedroom Suite. Nice! The room was spectacular. An entire unobstructed view of the strip, spotlessly clean, plush bathrobes, roomy bathroom, with even a kitchen (not that we needed it). 
We did enjoy that Vdara was just a hotel. It is sometimes nice not to walk into a lobby with slot machines and blackjack games surrounding you in every direction. I think this is a big plus. 
During our stay, we did get take-out from their cafe downstairs. It was good, but pricey. Yes, I know we're on the strip. Our last morning there, we ordered room service. Timely, friendly, and sufficient, but nothing "wow" about it. 
I definitely enjoyed my stay here and would recommend Vdara. I think next time we splurge, I'll try to save up a couple of paychecks to stay at the Mandarin Oriental.
