| - If u like modern, clean, no casino noise, no smoke... this is the place to be!
... HOWEVER, I DON'T LIKE THESE THINGS... so i would NOT come back!
This is my third trip to Las Vegas, in previous times I've stayed at The Imperial and The Gold Coast... and if you're familiar with those two hotels , you're probably cringing right now, but i like to slum it when i go to vegas. I figure all I'm going to be doing in a hotel room is sleeping, so as long as it's reasonably clean, then I'm good... the Vdara was a little too clean for me.
This place is like living in a starbucks. It's clean, it's modern, and it's expensive (well, for me) .. not necessarily for the stay, but for everything around the stay, to purchase in the hotel or for any additional services in the hotel.
I really did not like the fact that it's a little off the strip, and you're forced to walk through the Bellagio, Aria or Cosmopolitan in order to get to the hotel. Yes, there is a street to walk down to get here, but due to the sidewalk disappearing at a certain point it involves crossing the road and it's a very indirect route. Initially i thought this would be okay, but then hen stumbling back to the hotel room intoxicated late at night, I found it to be a big pain in the ass.
This is a very quiet hotel. Don't expect anything to be open after 10pm... so if you're looking to get away from the strip, then perhaps this is a nice choice for you... for me, it was not.
As petty as it seems, i was annoyed by the fact there was no coffee maker in the room. I had to go down to the lobby wait in a fairly long line just to get my morning coffee.
The pool is very nice! But it's on a side of the hotel where all the sunlight is blocked from the pool deck til about noonish... which would probably be very nice in the heart of the summer, though i stayed here in April, and I wanted sun anytime i was outside, so that didn't work out all that well.
I also bought a Sunwing Vacatation package for a flat rate per night, but then when i got to the desk I was forced to pay an additional $18 a night for various hotel convenience fees such as the "complimentary" wifi... clearly they have an odd definition of complimentary here.
Also, the rooms are set-up in a way where there is a sliding door for the bathroom which is not very soundproof... and there is no fan in the bathroom either. So make sure you're very comfortable with the person you're sharing the room with, cause if you're not, your ears will tell you everything about them by the end of your stay there :)
Bottom line, it's a really nice hotel... just not for me.
