I love the Vdara, really ideal if you want a quiet hotel that is not too far away from the bustle. As a result of the Vdara being a non smoking, casinoless hotel in Vegas that is a little ways off the strip, you walk into a quiet establishment everytime. Have no fear though- if you need to smoke and gamble, just walk next door to the Cosmo. On that note, the Vdara is close to the shuttle that travels from the Cosmo/Vdara to the Aria and eventually Monte Carlo.
Rooms are spacious- great view from the 53rd floor, had no complaints. Rooms are really sleek, clean and modern. The kitchenette area is nice for storing drinks and food in the fridge. I am not sure who needs to use a stove, but it's there for you! Maybe the microwave will be better utilized.
Staff is very friendly. Housekeeping always had a smile on their face. No complaints.
There is complimentary valet which means if you are checking out Sunday morning at 10am, please expect to wait anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour for your car. Just in general, be prepared to wait for your car at peak hours.
