Awesome hotel. I live at Veer across the way and love it there. Unfortunately there's a wind tunnel when winds are super strong and it makes things loud at Veer. Our condo is awesome tho and will comp us at Vdara when it happens (this is 1st time in 8 months it's gotten super loud and it took winds of 60 mph - so no big deal ).
Checkin (Tues at 3pm) was super easy and fast). Requested high floor and she was happy to help even though I'm comped. Quick ride up to 42nd floor to my suite.
Pros:
You're essentially getting a small condo i'd easily pay $50+ more for this vs a regular room at another 4 star property (MGM, etc)
Really nice layout for 580 sqft. in the standard suite
Awesome tub
Comfortable furniture and bed, nicely appointed
2 large screen TV's
smoke free :)
no gambling :)
awesome view from palms, rio, across i15 to bellagio, paris, fountains etc
Cons:
Picky but would be nice to have a TV in the bathroom
Valet only
Why didn't they put a tunnel from Vdara to Aria so you don't have to walk outside? I guess walking outside in 60-70mph winds made me think of that lol (it's really not that far)
