This was my first time in Vegas and there were so many places to choose from on the Strip and nearby. After reading numerous positive reviews about the Vdara I knew this would be the spot for me.
Suite was clean! It came with a kitchenette and large bathroom. The bathroom had a shower and tub. Score! I love that they had an additional closet inside the bathroom and the mounted magnify mirror was cool. I just wish the bathroom sink drained ok. It was slowly draining, but since I spent my days out on the strip we never complained about it.
The hotel does not have casinos in it. Score! I won't have to worry about cigar or cigarette smoke. This hotel is not on the strip, but within a short walk you will be in the Bellagio. Score! I like how casinos/hotels were connected so you can walk through in the air conditioned space than outside in the heat.
This hotel is a 4 star 4 diamond hotel. This was a very nice and clean hotel! They have security around the elevators. They ask that people flash them their room key so just anyone walking in can not go up to the rooms. Be sure to check the entrance before going into the area with the elevators since floors 4-28 were on the far left and floors 29-up were straight ahead. The pool area is the same. You just show your room key at the entrance to see the pool area. You can rent a cabana or daybed if you want to sit around the pool.
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to check in a few hours early. Score! I had a pleasant and relaxing time here.
