| - V for Vdara.
On the last leg of my recent Vegas trip, I spent three nights at Vdara, one of the many properties in the City Center Complex. Though this hotel does not have its own casino, its sister property Aria, with its casino and many bars and restaurants, is only a short walk away.
We had a corner suite with a spectacular view of Aria and surrounding areas. Amenities of our suite included:
*A kitchen area complete with refrigerator and small dining area/table.
*Small living room space with a sofa, flat screen television, and coffee table.
*Spacious bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, make-up counter/area, generous closet space, and a roomy stand-up shower.
*Push button controls for the blinds/shades for the entire room. Very convenient and helpful.....there was just a wee bit of difficulty locating all the various controls.
*Complimentary (and very comfortable) bath slippers.
Overall, I liked our suite very much. The kitchen and living room areas were a very decent size, while the bathroom was much larger than I expected. There was also a placard in the kitchen area stating that kitchen utensils and accessories (pots, pans, etc), were available on request. As far as the bed is concerned, it was soft and extremely comfortable.
I feel my only gripe about the room is that we had some difficulty, initially, locating all the controls for the blinds. Also, I did wonder why two doors were given access to the bathroom (one from the bedroom and the other via the kitchen). I thought that was a bit odd, though the door access from the kitchen could be locked from inside the bathroom. Lastly, there was a slightly vinegar odor in the room when we arrived, and so maintenance was sent up to the room with an air purifier type device. Thankfully, the smell disappeared later that night.
Lastly, some hotel amenities I took advantage of were the Starbucks and convenience store/coffee shop in the lobby. I commend the baristas at the Starbucks, as they exhibited much teamwork the morning I visited. Adversely, the store is part coffee shop and part convenience store. You're able to order pastries and coffee, while there is a self service section for water, juices, sodas, snacks, etc. Items are a bit pricey, but hey, you're paying for the convenience after all.
BOTTOM LINE: A pleasant 3-night stay at the Vdara Hotel. I wouldn't mind returning to stay on a future trip.
