| - My husband and I stayed at the Vdara for 3 nights last week and I must say we loved it.
The Vdara definitely allows you to have your cake and eat it too. The hotel is slightly off the strip and the Bellagio, Aria and Monte Carlo are all connected and the strip is only a short walk.
The Vdara is a non smoking non casino hotel and is very relaxing, but if you feel like gambling, inhaling second hand smoke or engaging in any of the other activities Vegas has to offer this hotel is so conveniently located that all the Vegas amenities are very accessible.
The staff was very friendly and the hotel really feels like a spa with modern contemporary decor and utilized clean lines to give a sleek and finished look.
When we entered the room we noticed a kitchen area and a dinning table but you have to get the pots, pans, plates and utensils from housekeeping.
We walked past the entry way and there was a king bed , flat screen tv, and a sitting area with a couch, coffee and end tables. My husband noticed that the tables in the room were dusty and when our luggage was brought my husband told the bell hop that the room was dusty when he asked if everything was ok.
A representative from housekeeping immediately came to the room to remedy the problem.
The bathroom was large and very attractive. There was a large soaking tub and a separate shower. The two things that would have made it better was if there were 2 sinks and if the toilet was in a separate little room.
In the evening of our first night we wanted to take a shower before going out and quickly noticed that there were only 2 wash cloths. BTW I hate when I go to hotels that know there are 2 people in the room and only leave 2 towels. I called housekeeping to get more face towels and they said that they would bring them right up (housekeeping is said to be available 24/7).
Almost an hour goes by and no towels I looked out the door to see if there was a housekeeping cart in the hallway and got lucky. I went down a few doors and was able to get a few towels off the cart. Yes I did it again before we left but this time I was sure to get enough to last the whole stay.
The bed was really comfortable unless we were fooled because we were so tired from being in Vegas and being up so late each night.
There are black out shades that were operated by a switch on the wall and I will agree with the other reviews that say there were gaps in the shades therefore the room is not completely dark but it was dark enough for us and did not interfere with our sleep at all.
We ate a snack at the bar (sliders, fries, salad), breakfast at the market cafe (bagel sandwich, muffin, orange juice) and ordered room service (buffalo and bbq wings, tomato soup, carrots, celery, bread). The sliders and bbq wings were really good but everything else was just okay.
The Vdara is a modern hotel that feels like home away from the hustle and bustle of Vegas without being too far. We will definitely stay here again.
