| - Having been to Vegas more times than I can count, I have stayed in almost every resort on and off the Strip. Recently, I received a great offer from Vdara and my girlfriend and I stayed there while going to a concert at the Cosmo, which is next door. And I can honestly say, Vdara shot up my list as one of my favorite hotels.
First off, the normal suite was very comfortable. The bed was top notch, as were the pillows. The furniture was very comfortable and the decor was also very impressive. I also love that the hotel prides itself on being energy efficient but it does not forget to be elegant. By that I mean all the modern appliances, like electric window curtains. I was also very impressed with the bathroom, shower and everything else. The electronic keypad is a little odd and I could see how someone who is stumbling back after a fun night may have a little problem with that but alas, that is not the resorts fault.
Now the other reason for the 5-star review, the concierge was incredible. My girlfriend and I are extremely lactose intolerant but we also want to enjoy food in Vegas. We called down to the concierge and asked for her recommendation for a healthy buffet, kind of an oxymoron I know. However, the concierge called several other MGM Resort buffets and recommended either Aria or the Bellagio. Having eaten at the Bellagio, I was pretty sure that would work but the chef at Aria was willing to give us a personal tour of the each food item and if something had dairy, he would be willing to make it without dairy. We decided on there but before we left, the concierge sent us front of the line passes.
I truly wish I remember the woman's name but we were so impressed that obviously she received a nice tip but also we spoke to her manager and told her just how amazing she was.
Now I gamble, love it actually but I also like staying in a hotel without a casino. I believe that it allows me to have a better nice sleep, I will not stumble into a casino and just try my luck really quick and it was also keeps the drunks and smoke out of the hotel as well. But it is also really close to the tables, this case the Cosmo and Aria.
My girlfriend and I also love to work out and thought the gym was very impressive. It had a large selection of cardio machines and free weights. It is a tad small but I expect not many people use it. We did not have enough time to visit the pool, even though it looked a little small nor the spa, which was expensive but looked wonderful.
Overall, if you want a 5-star experience and wonderful customer service, I would highly recommend Vdara. On my many trips back to Vegas, I will always look there first.
