It was a wonderful experience.\n\nCab fare was $20 from the airport which I don't feel is bad at all. The hotel staff was very nice upon arrival and we were able to easily check our bags as we got in early. Check in was very easy as well. We requested a high room that overlooked the Bellagio fountains (per the suggestion of other Yelp reviews) and were not disappointed. When we came back later in the day, our room was ready and waiting. The hotel is not your average Vegas hotel. There is not a slot machine to be found and it is free of cigarette smoke which we liked very much. We do like to gamble though and were able to walk right around the front circle to Aria to their casino but it was nice each evening to come back to our quite hotel. Vdara is so close to many other hotels and casino's as well, definitely within walking distance. They have a great little place for breakfast/lunch/desserts/coffee and also a hotel bar and Starbucks. The only downside is that both the little restaurant and Starbucks close early so after a night of shows and roaming Vegas, if you want a bite to eat or a cup of coffee, you will want to pick it up on your way back. I really feel that these should be open 24 hours as pretty much everything in Vegas is 24 hours.\n\nOur suite was very clean and comfortable. Huge windows offer great views but there are also automatic blinds that, at the push of a button, give you privacy or douse the lights of Vegas. Having two bathrooms was great and having the garden tub in one was wonderfully relaxing after a day of walking. \n\nThere is a coffee maker, however, they only leave 2 k-cups (1 decaf/1 caf) each day so if you want coffee you may want to bring your own or I'm sure you could request more as they are very accommodating. There is an ice maker and a microwave/convection oven and a stove top. Loved the washer and dryer as we were easily able to get the wrinkles out of our clothes before we went out for the day or evening.\n\nWhen we checked out we had a late flight, so again, we checked our bags and picked them back up on the way back to the airport. No hassle whatsoever. All-in-all a great trip and we will definitely stay here again!"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
