I have mixed feelings for this hotel because I came here with a group of girls. I think it isn't really a good place for a group but aside from that the room is beautiful, the bathroom is great, the shower is good and the view in the city corner suite is amazing.
I think in general, I love the innovations that Vdara has made. Yes it's a non-gaming hotel which I like a lot since there is a lot less fuss when you walk in about navigating your way to the elevators to get into your rooms. There is also a lot less smoke which is always nice.
I do like the innovative way in which you can open and close your blinds, except one of ours was stuck and didn't work at all so I think with technology comes some challenges. It was also confusing getting our room cleaned, apparently we have to press some buttons and someone accidentally pressed the do not disturb. Although I like this idea, haha I still like the traditional door tag a little better.
The bed was comfortable, the shower was good but for a lot of girls and only one shower with a bathroom that does not have a door? Even if I'm staying with a significant other I don't want to use the toilet in front of them. How weird!
The mini kitchen was nice, but I think we were promised some kind of media station and that did not happen. Overall I'd stay here again, but I don't know if it would be worth full price considering some of the traditional amenities you'd get in more traditional Vegas hotels and the price you pay for all the gadgets in Vdara...
