Driving up to the Vdara can be a little confusing. You really need to pay attention to the signs. It can get a little crazy. This hotel smelled incredible. Whatever they pump in the vents makes you want to walk around inhaling this stuff. I could not get enough of this good smelling stuff. Usually when you're in Vegas all you smell is cigarettes, but not in this place.
When we checked in we wanted to see if we could get upgraded to anything and we actually got upgraded to a suite. Our views were amazing. Don't know how I'll be able to stay in a regular hotel room again.
Keep in mind when you're booking your hotel that this is a hotel only and does not have a casino. Oh yeah, it's smoke free.
I took off a star only because the hotel is tucked away from the strip. It makes it difficult to get down to the strip and walking in 5" heels can be a little hard.
