| - I'm a true-blue Palazzo girl, but the man had a conference at the Bellagio so we thought we'd switch it up and stay at Vdara for the convenience factor.
One of the best things about this hotel is that when you walk in, you aren't slapped in the face with the smell of cigarettes. Why? Because it's a non-smoking hotel. It's also a non-gambling hotel which means it's quiet when you walk in. Ahhhh.
For me, the goodness mostly ends there. The pool leaves A LOT to be desired. The dining options are EXTREMELY limited and the restroom (inside the room itself), couldn't be any closer to the bed if the designers tried.
The room was larger than most standard Vegas rooms (except for The Palazzo, ahem) because it also boasts a small kitchen which can be useful, I guess. The living room area was small and the couch was very uncomfortable. Actually, the bedroom and living room are basically just one big room with a TV wall unit separating the two.
The biggest plus for the room was that the bed was super comfortable. And like I mentioned earlier, I have to take away points for the location of the restroom. Forget the fact that it has one of those frosted glass doors so if you go in there in the middle of the night, the bedroom still gets illuminated if you turn on the light in the bathroom. Dumb design. Oh, the decorators also need a little schooling on blackout shades because what they had in these rooms certainly did not fit the bill. Sure they made the room darkER, but that's about it. There was no blackout to be found.
Overall, it was a pretty hotel in a great location with great access to the Bellagio, but I can't say that I would ever choose to stay there in the future.
Viva Las Vegas.
