I like hotels in Vegas that don't have a large casino you have walk through just to get to your car, a restaurant, the lobby, the strip, etc. It is nice to go straight to your room. Clean upscale and simple.\n\nHowever, the reason I couldn't do five (5) stars is the parking and resort fee scam that Vegas is now implemented on its costumers. \n\nThere is no self parking, only Valet. To get your car or items you have to wait for the Valet to retrieve your car. Very hard to get your stuff in and out of the hotel. Plus the parking is separate from the \"resort fee\". \n\nThe resort fee at some of the strip hotels makes sense, includes the parking, the wifi, the pools, concierge, common plants, flowers, etc. \n\nHowever, the Vdara is a simple hotel, with minimal pool and facilities, yet they have an expensive resort fee.\n\nThe rooms are nice modern style. They have a mini bar, safe, closets, windows with drapes that have electronic up and down. Each room has a large bed and a separate couch bed with a television wall that has minimal privacy. \n\nTo get to the strip you can walk through the Bellagio Casino or take the ramp. I would definitely stay here again!"^^ .
