| - A non smoking, no casino hotel ON the strip? omg, I'm in love, instantly!
Vdara is a great boutique hotel. It's on the strip, in the CityCenter plaza. No smoking, no gambling.. PERFECT (for me). The decor doesn't scream Cosmo (trying too hard) and it's plenty lush, even for the cheapest "room" suite. All rooms are apartment style suites, like Cosmo & Aria. Hotel staff, housekeeping and bell service are all great, and the room rates are very affordable for the luxury you get. You can pay upwards to 2-3 times for Caesar's or Venetian and get crappy old small rooms with an old projector style TV, smelly AC if it functions at all, and tiny bathrooms.
I got the VDara Suite for the weekend and it was freaking huge. It was pretty much a 1 bedroom apartment with a queen sofa bed (which I hear was very uncomfortable). The bed was VERY comfortable, down topped with very soft sheets, bath linens weren't the softest but they weren't rough either.. freestanding tub, two 42" wall mounted flat panel TV's, blah blah blah, you can read about it on their website. Bathrobes provided were very comfortable & soft, and the storage available is immense.. seriously, so much closet space.
Quick thing, if you're needing a hair/blow dryer, it's in the main bathroom, under the sink.. the drawers don't have knobs or pulls, so just look carefully for a hidden drawer. Lol... We couldn't find ours until housekeeping showed us.
I will definitely be staying here again on my future visits.
