Came back from the debauchery and stayed at the Vdara. I got a city suite for the weekend and did not regret it one bit. This was 1 bedroom, kitchen, and living area. Two 42" LCDs and the bathroom is designed for him and her.
The best part is there is no casino AND no smoking. The lobby isn't crazy with tourists like at all the other hotels. Check in and check out was a breeze. There weren't any kids or tourists running through the hallway. Very upscale, if you bitch about the price, go to Excalibur and split a $75 room with 3 other people. You do not belong at the City Center.
The hotel is in the city center but it's in the back so it's a walk and tram to the hotel. I suggest cabbing it. From the strip, you see Aria and Vdara is to the rear and right. The restaurant is not that great, a bit over-priced in my opinion. The bar in the lobby is great, as it's usually chill and better than the other hotel lobby bars, due to its open design. The pool is on the small side but since it's on the 3rd floor, it's more private than the casino hotels.
This is my hotel of choice moving forward. =D
