Vdara Hotel

Our experience at Vdara this past May was great! 4.5 star rating! :) :)
I would definitely stay here again and have recommended it to a number of friends since. The location of the hotel is so convenient — walking distance to the cosmopolitan and aria, and shuttle to Bellagio, except the price is much less. Definitely a great bang for your buck. I understand it is not a casino hotel, but you are so close to casino hotels, you barely miss it.
The rooms were phenomenal — especially for a large group like we had. The 2-​story penthouse suites is what we really wanted, however they were sold out by the time we made our reservation. We ended up getting the 2-​bedroom penthouse hospitality suite. It was so spacious, clean, and with great views of the strip. The kitchen is stocked with waters everyday (which is necessary in the Las Vegas heat and all the alcohol consumption). Our second 2-​bedroom suite accidentally got upgraded and when we notified them that that wasn’t what we had asked for, they gave it to us complimentary at the price of the original room (yay!).
Unfortunately, one of our suites didn’t get cleaned any of the days we were there, even when we had specifically called. They would show up in the evening, which just was so inconvenient given that we were all in the room trying to get ready for the night. They ended up giving us a $ 75 credit towards room service or the hotel room cost (I’ll take that!).
We really enjoyed our stay at the Vdara and it was great being able to all stay together in 1 – 2 suites, which tends to be a major downfall of many Vegas hotels — they don’t accommodate for groups and everyone has to get individual rooms. Will definitely be going back to this hotel :)

Walked into room. Stood on couch. Raised arms up. Proceed to yell, «I’m king of the world!» like Jack on the Titanic. Yea– it was that awesome.
Typically when I review hotels, I judge it on a couple key qualifying factors: 1. Front Desk/​Service 2. Room Amenities 3. General Amenities 4. Overall value. BONUS: Room service/​food, upgrades, etc.
1. Front Desk line was a bit long for a Wednesday morning but incredibly nice and helpful once we got there. We had to wait 20 minutes to get serviced but when we got there, it felt like they gave us their complete and undivided attention. 4 stars.
2. Room Amenities: AHHHHH. I’m a bit of a nerd, but holy moly. Vdara. You had me at ‘automatic blinds and shades’. Press blinds, press close. Dun nuh nuh. Blinds closed. BLINDS CLOSED. So cool. SO COOL. Other than this, the room was pretty large for Vegas standards, very clean, and very modern. It helped that we had a nice high floor with a beautiful view. (Like I said… King of the world) 5 Stars… those automatic blinds, man.
3. The Vdara is off-​strip so it can’t compete with restaurants/​shop offerings. It had a starbucks and a restaurant in the lobby that was fairly underwhelming. More importantly, it has a tram over to the Aria where there are fairly priced table and slot games for you. Honestly, I liked being off strip for a little because you didn’t have the same commotion in your lobby as somewhere like the Cosmo, but you weren’t so far away that it made getting to the strip an issue. Additionally, the Vdara has a pretty small gym but it’s almost never used which was awesome.
4. We got this hotel on some discount hotel site and it ended up being like $ 150 or something + resort fee. Combine the solid front desk, awesome room, location/​lack of overwhelming foot traffic, and priced decently = 4 star value. Check this place out if you can!

Stayed here for two nights in a suite facing the bellagio fountains and it was wonderful! Our room had a kitchen and 2 bathrooms which was cool. We didn’t spend much time there except to sleep and the beds were very comfortable. This is one of the only hotels without a casino so the stale smoke smell doesn’t linger here. It is also pet friendly with a little dog park.
There is a tiny restaurant/​market and a Starbucks in the lobby. I wish there was a better restaurant you could visit late night. We ended up just getting room service because we were too tired to move and it wasn’t bad. The burgers were grass fed and the fries were delicious! I would definitely stay here again.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN LAS VEGAS. (Actually the service is non-​existent) Unilocal please change your rating option to zero or negative stars!!!
This hotel now charges $ 18 every time you retrieve your vehicle. (Keep that in mind as you read the rest of my review & FYI, this hotel is valet only no self park) The valet staff is incredibly RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. We constantly dealt with the valet guys standing around chit chatting while we stood there waiting for them to get our vehicle. The manner in which they speak to you is APPALLING. The valet is managed so poorly that the typical wait time to get your vehicle is a minimum of over 20 minutes or over 45 minutes during peak times. (no one answers the phone even if you try to call down in advance to request your car)
If you need to call for hotel amenities your call will go unanswered. We called down to the spa, valet and bellhop with no answer. (no one mans these phones at a hotel?!?) We then waited over 45 minutes for the bellhop to bring our bags to the room (it was NOT during a peak time) — when we called a second time to check on the status of our bags, it was apparent our request was never forwarded.
No maintenance seems to be done on this hotel. We had to walk down 33 flights of stairs due to broken elevators. We also had to change rooms twice — first room stunk of sewage and the second room had an overwhelming odor of paint (there was still painter’s tape left on the wall!). The employees in the Market Café Vdara are rude which seems to be the norm with this hotel.
It’s not a vacation if you’re constantly in a state of stress and frustration (which you will be while staying at the Vdara). With all the hotel choices in Vegas, spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

It’s 5:26 am if you’re hungry and order room service that’s 24 hours they’re only going to serve u 24hours old bread and if u mention it they’ll charge u for a toast for An additional price. Only to have the worker to come to our room to tell us she’s sorry but old bread is something that’s givin out at this hour with room service. So u pay for what u get

4.5 stars
I’ve stayed here twice, each stay 4+ days.
I simply love this hotel. It is non smoking, no casino, not many children, and just fresh, clean, and spacious. Both stays were for edc so the city and vdara were well prepared for the huge number of travelers.
The rooms are all suites so that increases the square footage for your stay… if you’re staying longer than 2 – 3 days, you’ll love the extra space, especially in the room and bathrooms which are huge. Awesome kitchen area with 4 seats and a table to hang out, buy food, heat up left overs etc. We bought food and drinks and chilled after we got home from edc at 7am… so it’s just super convenient.
Automatic shades are bomb. Bed is comfy, bathroom is clean, spacious, modern. Staff has always been nice towards me and helpful. The free gym is sufficient and the pool is on the smaller side but this is a boutique’ish hotel, so if you want day parties head to another casino.
Speaking of casinos… everyone knows Asians have gambling problems so not having a casino downstairs really saved me (and my friends/family)money my last two times here. My first time in Vegas I loss badly.
Once you walk in, you’re greeted by a non smoking lobby that smells BEAUTIFUL. Literally, I love the smell of this place. I went to cosmopolitan and it was horrible… cigarette smoke fighting with the hotels scent and the underground’ish valet area with car fumes.
The café is actually pretty good and not that overpriced, you’re not completely off the strip, but it’s still new vegas. Friendly servers there. Valet is pretty good but I assume they hired extra for edc weekend.
Overall, I will probably always stay here when I goto Vegas.

The one star is for the nice looking room. For the prices of the rooms here, I’d prefer going to Aria or Caesars Palace, which have pretty much the same layout and décor. As for Vdara, I would rate the hotel zero stars if I could.
First off, we were excited to use the refrigerator to store food and save money for the first few days of our trip, but our room had a broken refrigerator. The repairman or «engineer», as they like to call themselves, came and said they needed to replace the whole refrigerator, and that they would notify the front desk and have it replaced the next day. For the next four days, no one would ever show up, and the only thing the front desk could say was «sorry.» Sorry doesn’t keep the food from going bad, which it did. Front desk said that the repairman are based on a first come first serve. Are you telling me that for four days straight no one was available to fix our problem? Management really needs to talk to their front desk and «engineers» about accommodating their paying customers appropriately. Not to mention how miserable the employees look at Vdara, from the front desk to the waiters to the guy standing near the elevators. How does the hotel expect their customers to have a good experience, when their own workers look miserable?
Second, the hallways are filled with trash that people leave in front of their doors and all over the hallways. The same bag of trash, dirty dishes, dirty laundry, and empty beer bottles were left by my surrounding neighbors for at least three days before it was cleared. Wth are the housekeepers doing? Is this what this hotel is, a freakin trashcan?
Third, the valet here is HORRIBLE! They are very slowwww. We were waiting to get our car valeted for at least 30 mins before we got to the front, and it took at least 30 mins to receive our car from the valet. Even when there were only one or two people ahead of us. Do they freakin walk to the car or what? I’ve never dealt with a valet service this slow before. The only reason why we dealt with the horrible valet was because we had free valet. I can’t imagine dealing with the BS if we had to pay for the valet.
Overall, I’d recommend booking a room at Aria or Caesars Palace if you want a nice looking room for around the same price, but with a better experience and environment. But don’t take my word for it, this is just my own opinion and experience. It may vary for each and every person, and you just might have to experience it for yourself.

So far this is my favorite place to stay when visiting Las Vegas.
Staff is friendly. Check in and out are very efficient. This is the most un Las Vegas hotel on the strip. It has no casino or buffet. The Aria is a 2 minute walk away out the front door with its casino and huge number of restaurants. The Bellagio is 5 minutes away via the walkway to the tram stop. The tram takes you over to the Monte Carlo. This hotel is easily accessible to many properties on the strip.
I was surprised to walk into my room and the first thing I see is a little kitchenette. I thought I was in the wrong room at first. It is great for families or for someone visiting for work. Room is spacious with great views of Las Vegas. Bathroom is large with a nice tub front and center. The only complaint was the room safe being too small to store anything. Other than that, this is an awesome place to stay

My husband booked a suite here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We have stayed at The Signature probably the last three times we’ve visited Vegas and prior to that we always stayed at the MGM (until we experienced major issues on our wedding day) so I’m glad we finally tried something else.
My husband was impressed with how the front desk staff handled check in as they were discreet in letting him know the suite was decorated as he had requested. There were chocolate covered strawberries and Champagne on the table when we walked in as well as rose petals on the bed in the shape of a heart. There was an issue with valet parking fees when attempting to retrieve our vehicle every day but that was also resolved at check out.
The room had a fantastic view. We could see Bellagio, The Cosmo, the Eiffel Tower, and so much of the strip that it was nice waking up and hanging in the room at night with all of the bright lights.
I thought the bed was comfy and he did not. My husband liked the shower and I did not. We both loved the double sinks. I appreciated the long mirrored area in the bathroom becasue I was able to spread out all my supplies and make a royal mess of the place. The large bathtub was nice but for some reason the water splashed out easily.
In the evenings we could hear music though we were on the 53^rd floor. I am unsure where these tunes were coming from but I was able to sleep through it so I wasn’t bothered too much. My husband, on the other hand, was annoyed.
All in all, I loved the location as it had easier access to all the places we frequent on the strip. We walked down to the Venetian one afternoon after eating at the Bellagio buffet. We had dinner at the Monte Carlo one night and that was an easy walk as well.
The best thing is that there was no smoking that I noticed because there isn’t a casino here. YAY!

Worst hotel experience. Business center took 63 $ from me for printing ten pieces of paper. Manager said she would call me the following day to resolve it… Never did. I had to call them myself only to be told they can’t reverse the charge… are you kidding me? Told me to call a 1800 number and that MAYBE they would remove it. Needless to say I filed a claim with my bank. This hotel could care less about making things right for its guests. If you stay here be wary about the business center because they’ll scam you out of your money. Most hotels I’ve been to don’t even charge for printing… Also bartender accused my boyfriend of stealing a bottle of liquor when the price tag was still on it. No he just brought his bottle down because he hadn’t been served in 25 minutes. Just don’t stay here. I know neither me or anyone I know will be any longer.

I picked this hotel because my husband and I don’t like smoke. When I was searching, it seemed like the Vdara was the newest and best location to the strip hotel that was smoke free. We paid the extra $ 30 for early check-​in. You can check in as early as 11 am, but we got there at 9 am and they had our room available for us! Awesome!
The cons: 1).The room has a kitchen with a stove, sink, and fridge but there was not any cookware or glass wear available. I did find out that you could call housekeeping and request for them. 2).The hotel needs a fine dining restaurant because there isn’t much choices to dine at.
Overall I would stay at the Vdara again. If your going to vegas with children, this would be the hotel to choose!

This is going to be my hotel of choice now while in Vegas. It’s smoke-​free throughout the hotel which makes it 10x better. If you want to gamble or grab food I suggest walking 3 minutes to the Aria on the other side of the circle. My room was amazing! They upgraded me for free to the panorama suite with overlooked the cosmopolitan and Aria. A huge suite with Windows covering all 3 sides. I was the the 34^th floor but could imagine any being a nice view.

Pros:
–Extremely clean, classy
Cons:
–Accessibility is a little bit of a challenge whether walking or driving, but that’s really it.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Vdara for memorial weekend. I have been wanting to stay at Aria for a minute and we decided to do vdara since they offered suits. Upon checking in we were able to upgrade to the executive suite which was awesome. It was a corner suit with 1 and a half bathrooms and a separate living area and full kitchen. The suit had an amazing view of the strip. I mean you could see everything! We were even able to get a complementary bottle of champagne with some chocolate covered strawberries since I was celebrating just graduating. The entire staff were great for the duration of our stay and it was located right in the middle of everything so what’s there not to love! I would absolutely recommend them and come back again!

This hotel was awesome. The Vdara is the quiet sister hotel of the Aria, which are both MGM hotels. Every staff member was pleasant and kind, and they were very on point with the cleaning of the rooms! I really cannot think of one issue I may have had while I was here. The room was very spacious, and the pool is awesome. The hotel is connected to the Bellagio, which gives easy access to the Strip, and also to the tram. Getting to the hotel is a little tricky if you are driving, but paying attention is a must.
I wish I had more time to enjoy the pool but I had to go to a wedding, lol. I will stay here when I return to Vegas (because I know I will).
Oh, the Starbucks here is very expensive. You are better off finding one on the Strip.

Stay away!
I stayed at Vdara for 2 nights on Memorial weekend.
Whole hotel was smoking-​free so it was good.
But the room was DIRTY.
In the bath tub, someone’s hairs were everywhere and the toilet seat was wet (maybe they clean it with wet towel and didn’t dry it), dusts were everywhere .
The most DISGUSTING part, when I opened the drawer in the bathroom, there was a plastic bag inside and when I opened it, there was a USED WOMEN’S UNDERWEAR in it. YUCK
When I complained it to the front desk, they just said «sorry» and they didn’t do anything.
I am very disappointed with this.
STAY AWAY.

I was finally able to come back during a time of year where the rooms were very affordable (I paid $ 89/​night Wed/Thurs)…definitely a low occupancy time of year I imagine. Great for me!
I loved this place before and I loved it even more after this past stay. I checked in and Angela was superb at the front desk and was able to score me a room on the 52^nd floor!
The room I got this time had the divider wall between the living room and the bed, which is the style I like. The comfortable bed made it easy to sleep in the two nights I was there. All the same amenities as last time were there (two fridges, one a mini bar and one empty sans two complimentary bottles of water).
I used the spa and also had a wonderful personalized 80 min massage. The men’s spa itself was small but nice. There was a small lounge with a TV, tea, snacks (banana chips, dried fruits), and fruit infused water. The vanity area had grooming needs for men. A little further down is the restroom and showers. In the back is the steam room, dry sauna, and hot tub. I was the only one in there during that time so it was nice to have it all to myself for about 30 minutes. The hot tub had this awesome mini waterfall flowing water to the tub. The steam room itself… I’m not sure if there was supposed to have eucalyptus but I didn’t smell it. It smelled of wood… not too pleasant.
I believe my therapist’s name was Lisa, who was a great conversationalist and masseuse.
The gym itself was good for a hotel. I wish there were more weight options or an area for more dedicated upper back and shoulders. They had a stretch rack which I ended up using to do some pull-​ups but a dedicated pull-​up bar would have been nice.
The best thing I liked about Vdara is the simplicity. It’s like the eye of the storm of Vegas hotels. No casino, no smoking, no stress, little noise. If you want a tranquil, relaxing hotel, I would suggest this spot.
To reiterate, there is no self-​parking, valet only. The only self-​park option is to park at Aria and either hoof it or take the tram (complimentary) to the Vdara/​Bellagio stop.

Forced valet. TRASH in the hallways. Dirty toilets. Awful!
If you like handing over your keys to a complete stranger and/​or have a shitbox car, this is the place for you! I mean, of course, you could park on the strip where parking is limited and you have to wonder if a homeless man is going to use your wheel as a urinal cake. My car is my baby so having to hand it over would be the equivalent of someone saying they needed to bang my wife. Listen up, Vdara, you may NOT BANG MY WIFE! Especially not with your dirty, dirty hallways.

Finding the place is always weird!!! But we made it.
Valet, check in, & check out the spot. Checking in is weird because they told us we couldn’t carry our own bags to our room! WTH??? LOOK WE NEED OUR LIQUOR ASAP!!! LOL Anywho, the front desk staff was nice, there weren’t many customers checking in at the time so I walked up & it took about 5mins.
The rooms were BEAUTIFUL!!! Nice apartment/​condo style rooms. We got a 38^th floor room so our view was EVERYTHING!!! The blinds were operated by an electrical switch which was Über cool. Room was clean & fully stocked. Every time we called for room service they were pretty prompt.
Only issues were with valet, they get busy Saturday night & Sunday morning it’s PACKED to check out. Security at night ask for room keys which is a pain on the ass when your carrying shit in!!!
Check out was also painless & quick. Nathan was the clerk he was nice & offered transportation options which was nice.
I’D COME BACK!!!

I have been here for 5 nights, in the vdara hotel. On floor 47. It was a really great experience to be here. What a great view. Not straight on the Strip but real close. You can walk thru the Belaggio to the Strip. They are connected. It’s such a great hotel. It has everything. The Hotel is one of the highest Hotels of the strip. You can see the pics below. It has no casino but there are plenty of them in the other hotels. You don’t miss it. The hotel has only suites. So there is even a possibility to live, cook and wash in your hotelsuite.

Started coming to this hotel recently and enjoy my stay every time. This non-​casino hotel is located in City Center and short walk from Aria, Bellagio and The Strip. I love that it doesn’t have a casino and the suites are clean and nicely laid out. Many have a kitchenette which makes it feel like a home away from home.
During my recent visits, I’ve had the pleasure of staying in the executive penthouse suite and executive corner suites. Both are spacious and clean with nice views. You’ll definitely feel «Vegas» if you stay here.
The fitness and spa areas are great features. I’ve yet to try the day spa but I did go to the fitness center a couple times for a early morning workout before venturing out into Vegas life. They provide bottled and spa water as well as clean towels. Equipment are all in great working and clean condition.
There is no self-​parking only valet unless you park at Aria, but the walk carrying your luggage wouldn’t be fun. The valet/​drop-​off and taxi line are all in one area and close to the check-​in desk and the elevators. No walking through smokey casinos.
Another plus is the Tram system that travels from Monte Carlo, thru Aria and returns from Bellagio.
I did have a few room issues during a recent stay, but were resolved in a timely manner and the staff made sure all was well.
Be sure to sign-​up for MLife player card and build those points up!
I’ll be back!

Seriously Unilocal,this as good as it gets!
Amazing property, smoke free, lightly perfumed, and no casino. The staff is easily the friendliest! No it’s not necessarily the party hotel for people in my age range, but it’s definitely relaxing and a nice relief. Easy walk to Aria (2 minutes) and Bellagio (5 minutes to main part).
Check-​in was a breeze and they offer mobile check in through a link in your email the day of arrival. Stayed in mid-​March and arrived around 10pm, a couple people waiting but nothing too serious. There is a 300 $ incidental placed on your card but it falls off so long as you don’t do anything heinous to the room.
The suite gorgeous, even the standard suite. Two televisions, large soaking tub, tempered glass bathroom doors, all felt modern and beautiful. The only thing I did not like about the bathroom is that there is no water closet. Rather, the toilet is hidden by a small wall but somewhat visible. If you’re sharing the room with a group, there’s no way you can all get ready if someone needs to use the restroom. In a hotel like this a water closet is a must!
The facilities: spa, gym, pool, all had great service. The pool was a bit crowded with people but there were plenty of towels and shaded seats that weren’t cabanas. Cabanas can be rented for 125~150 $ and up. One had a small semi-​infinity pool which was nice. Poolside food is decently priced but it’s Vegas so no complaints about the $$$. Didn’t get to the hotel bar/​lounge but the small plates sounded pretty good. The gym was small with weights going up to 50lbs, a few machines (treadmill, elliptical) and cold towels to cool off after a workout (big relief!). There’s also water to drink up before and after a workout. Pretty nice!
Housekeeping was AMAZING, anytime we needed something, we got it in a good amount of time. All were friendly, kind, and efficient. Room service is expensive but generous with the portions, the pizza was hot, kids grilled cheese and fries were filling, and the chicken tenders had a nice flavor. Order off the kids menu! The portions are pretty big.
No casino but Bellagio is a short, semi covered walk over. Go to the Venetian for blackjack though, better odds ;)
Would return!

Best hotel I’ve stayed at in Las Vegas!
It was ridiculously beautiful. When we got there, it was a Saturday around 2pm. We let them know how we were stoked to stay here and how we heard lots of great reviews and how it was my bday! So they got us upgraded and even got us a room with a view! We were lucky enough to check-​in early and received a room with a view of the Bellagio fountains (: Thanks front desk!!! Check-​in was waaaay easier and faster than I expected.
The whole time we were there we received nothing but exquisite service. All housekeeping were friendly as well as other staff we encountered like the valet and the bellman.
Good job management!
I picked this hotel on a whim since we cancelled our reservations at another one because of the horror stories lol (not gonna say which hotel)
I didn’t mind that it was non-​smoking w/​no casino since I absolutely can’t stand smoking and I’m not a huge gambler anyway! BUT if you are into that, just take a 2 minute walk over to the Bellagio or take the tram to Aria! It’s really that close, trust me.
Oh and it’s literally RIGHT beside the Cosmo too!
For the whole week we were there, housekeeping did such a great job! At one point I guess they forgot to take their tip that we left for them but we were able to get ahold of our cleaner and got to give that to her. She was so sweet! I remember how messy and unorganized I left my makeup in the bathroom, but they took the time to tidy it up and even place it on a nice Vdara mat! Towels were constantly changed, beds made, the room clean by 3pm.
Even at 7pm when we called them to stop by to clean, they did it quite promptly too!
Overall, my experience was wonderful. I definitely have been recommending them to all of my fam & friends. Definitely gonna be my hotel whenever I head over to Vegas!

I really like that this hotel doesn’t have a casino. Why? Because it’s not overly crowded and doesn’t smell like cigarettes. The lobby area is smaller than most hotels, but it didn’t take away from the modern and clean feel that the hotel exudes.
The check-​in was painless and quick. When we got into our room, it was spacious and very clean. The only negative thing I have to say about this hotel is that their bath tubs are really small and uncomfortable. I would’ve preferred a comfier bathroom. The toilet was placed across from the shower and it seemed cramped. I didn’t like the set up.
The plus is that it’s connected to other casinos through a bridge walkway and located near the middle of the strip; so it’s close to everything. The wifi here is free and the connection is not as bad as other hotels. I would recommend staying here if you want a clean, smoke-​free hotel, but if you’re looking for a party-​like atmosphere then you’re better off at another place.

Pros:
–entire hotel is non smoking
–rooms are really nicely furnished. Real classy look
–comfortable beds
–extremely quiet. I couldn’t believe I was in Vegas.
–big showers with tall shower heads
–I don’t know if this is standard, but my room had microwave, decent size fridge and even an electric range
–fast wifi (no device limit, unlike some other Vegas hotels)
Cons:
–a little hard to find if you are directionally challenged (by either foot or car). This City Center area is like a Bermuda Triangle for me… I’ve got lost so many times its not funny
–roughly 10min walk to the strip
–no in room coffee machine (you can rent one for $ 20 a day which comes with 4 coffee pods… that is excessive given you are already paying a $ 30 resort fee)
–limited dining options in hotel
Fitness room was decent size. People say it’s small but it does the job. The Dumbbells are pretty light though… Go up to about 50lbs
There is no casino, which is okay with me. There are many casinos within an extremely short walk (eg Cosmo, Aria).
I will stay here again if I’m staying with kids. If not, I think I prefer Cosmopolitan

Clean and modern
Everything looks nice
Nothing special but still should deserve 4 stars but
One star off for the tiny water flow from the shower
I don’t know how to take a shower with such little water
Valet service was extremely understaffed
Took forever to get my car
There was about 30 – 40 people waiting for cars

This is my first time to stay at Vdara. I stayed at Aria before and I loved it there. I thought Vdara would have the same quality of resort living. But I guess i was totally wrong. I felt disgusted inside the room. The tub and sink look pretty awesome, but then I turned around and saw some disgusting yellow stuff stuck on the wall. That was gross. So I wrote a note to the maid and let her know about the yellow situation on the wall. I was hoping she would clean it when she cleaned up the room. Oh well, it was still there.
And the design of their shower gel and lotion is bad, it’s hard to get anything out from those ridiculous little champagne bottles. Make sure you have your amenities prepared if you stay here.
Last but not least, I sat on my bed and was going to watch some TV. I grabbed the remote and saw the power button was all greasy. I gave up. No more Vdara for sure.

First stay at Vdara this past Vegas trip due to bringing a 5 month old with us. We didn’t want her breathing in cigarette smells and the loud crowd noises in the casino. Vdara is one of the hotels without a casino which definitely helped us in choosing this hotel. Booked a two night stay at a regular suite and upon checking in, was upgraded by the nice gentleman working to a corner suite room. What a gorgeous room it was. Though the room lacked a big living room, it had a kitchen, washer/​dryer, fridge, microwave, king sized bed with queen size fold out in the living room. and a nice sized restroom with window views all around. Definitely one of the better hotels in Vegas I’ve stayed at and I’ve stayed at most of the hotels on the strip. If you’re looking for a quiet upscale hotel that’s cigarette free, stay at Vdara! You also don’t get hassled parking at valet and the bell hop guys are friendly!

I made a video of my review
A decently priced modern hotel right next to Bellagio.
This is my review for the Vdara Las Vegas hotel.
If you were like me a few days ago, you might be considering Vdara because of the relatively lower prices for a 5-​star hotel, but worried if it’s a good hotel.
I’ve lost a lot of money to Las Vegas in the last 15 years and let me tell you my thoughts.
Vdara is part of MLife Rewards program. Sign up if you haven’t yet so you can get a discount rate for your room and also earn points for staying there.
There is no casino at Vdara, but It’s connected to Bellagio and Aria. You can walk over to the Aria casino in 3 minutes or walk to the Bellagio gardens in 10 minutes. Also since it’s not that popular of a destination, it makes it easy to get a taxi and there’s a clear sign for Lyft pickup. I prefer staying here over crowded casino resorts since it’s a nice quiet place to return after a long day.
First thing I noticed when I arrived to Vdara is that they don’t have self-​parking.
They do offer free valet which means you need to tip them $ 2-​$ 5 each time you drop off and pick up.
This is convenient, but I was left waiting for about 10 minutes on a busy night.
If you want to self park, you can self-​park at Bellagio and walk over which is going to take about 10 minutes
Check-​in was quick and very friendly. Jane at the front was amazingly nice! Thank you!
They will provide 2 free small bottles of water for every night. Water downstairs is going to cost you over $ 5. Even Starbucks Ethos water is $ 5.50.
They do have the bare essentials downstairs. A café, a bar, a Starbucks.
OK! Now onto the room. The City Corner Suite!
When you enter, you have a dining room.
Then you go in to the living room which has a pull out bed.
Then you have the bedroom where you get a nice view because of the corner suite!
Then you have the bathroom.
Let’s get the boring living room out of the way first.
It has a sofa with a queen-​size pullout bed.
The TV is about 46″
Comes with some modern looking lamps and two glass tables.
You won’t be spending much time in here, but there are sliding glass doors to the bedroom where you’ll be spending most of your time.
Now, the bedroom. I loooved the view. The windows that span across two walls made me feel like a king. I actually flipped the chair to face the outside and just enjoyed the view like batman did in the dark knight.
I loved setting up my laptop and just enjoying the view.
It made me feel like I owned the hotels.
Ok enough of about the views.
The Shades and the Blackout shades come up and down with a switch.
The bed was very soft and above average. Similar to Wynn and Encore quality.
There’s also another TV in the bedroom.
I was on the 23^rd floor and I could hear the freeway. They become white noise when you’re sleeping, but definitely stay in higher floors if you can.
The bathroom also shares the view of the outside so you can relax in their modern hot tub and enjoy the view. I’m not a tub type of person but I switched off the lights and enjoyed the hot tub with a view every night I was here.
You get a big mirror with built in lights that make you look pretty.
You get one of those magnifying mirrors so you can see all your pores.
A walkin shower. water was always hot and had plenty of pressure. Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Soap, Body Lotion is provided.
The bathroom has doors, but the actual toilet doesn’t. Every noise you make in the toilet will echo throughout the bathroom.
Other than that, you get your usual bath robe, slippers you can take home, and a small safe.
Ok, now the dining room!
This is the first hotel room I’ve had a washer and a dryer. Bosch brand too. This is great! I can bring a pair of clothes and I can just wash them every night. The only problem is that there’s no detergent or softener. It looked like these were never used and I’m not surprised.
Now the cooktop. Great! I can make eggs in the morning or warm up my left over. Where’s the cookware? You need to request it from the front desk.
There is a Bosch microwave, mini bar, a sink with garbage disposal, a Kitchenaid giant fridge, a dishwasher, but realistically, you’ll only be using the microwave.
There’re 2 utencils, 2 cups and no dishes so make sure you get what you need from the restaurants.
The pool was under renovation while I visited so I’d assume it’ll be nice by the time you watch this.
Service was very friendly. I clogged the bathroom and they came up with a plunger in 3 minutes.
Overall, I think Vdara is a great value and I’d recommend it.
If it’s significantly cheaper than Aria, I’d say go Vdara.

Stayed here Sat. Feb.6– Tues. 9^th and it was an okay stay. Booked the hotel based on the reviews and the price on Priceline.
First impression was good. Hotel was centrally located to the strip, Aria was right across the way, and it wasn’t far from the airport. It’s quiet and secluded in not in the craziness of other resorts. They actually had a shuttle which we did not know about until checkout. Concierge can arrange a pick up for you. We were able to check in early which was a surprise and at no charge (they Front Desk associate Cody made this happen).
The room was decent… has a little kitchen, seating area, and large bathroom. But… we had bloody sheets. GROSS. Called Front Desk and they said they would send housekeeping. We waited for a bit no one came. We decided to leave and comeback later and upon our return still had bloody sheets. You can only imagine how upset I was at this point. I pay $ 400 plus and I get ignored all the while some one else’s bodily fluids are in my bed. A House Keeping manager came up took pictures and then and left. 15 minutes later the housekeeper came up and changed our sheet. They were apologetic but offered nothing for the inconvenience. At checkout I requested at least one of the resort fees be taken off and they honored it but also included another night. Would have been nice if that actually took a more proactive approach beforehand.
Another side note on housekeeping… we left for the day and each time we came back our room still hadn’t been serviced. If we area gone from 10 to about 5 pm, there is no reason a room should not be serviced. Not to mention the fact that there weren’t a lot of people on the 17^th floor. At least none that we saw… in fact we hadn’t seen another guest on our floor the entire time.
One last random note… the water in this hotel was hard! Maybe my skin is accustomed to filtered shower heads or maybe its just west coast thing but that water made my skin extremely dry and I broke out after taking showers here. It was scratchy and irritated the entire time. Now that I’m home using my own shower with no issues, I’m convinced its the hotel.
Outside of Housekeeping issues and water problems, the overall stay was decent considering the price we paid on Super Bowl Weekend. Would I give this hotel another try? Maybe. But overall I wasn’t too impressed with my stay.

For our annual sales meeting, we were assigned to Vdara as overflow to The Aria. Vdara sits right next door, a brief 45 second walk from door to door. So it is very convenient and offers a lot of perks, depending on what you are looking for.
Vdara is like a boutique hotel in terms of size. It is small, in Vegas terms, and when traveling for a conference, that is a huge perk. It means when rushing between conference sessions, your room, meals or drinks, nothing is too far away. It also has no casino and no smoking, so a nice break from all of that.
The rooms are all suites, so you get a great little kitchen, living room space, large bathroom and your bedroom. I very much enjoyed my room and the hotel. It was perfect, especially for a work trip. I highly recommend.

The hotel is beautiful and the location is great but unfortunately the customer service sucked!
First of all the television in our room did not work so we called the front desk and they said they would send up a technician to look at it but no one ever came. We called a second time and they just told us that they were very busy. I mentioned it a third time when we checked out and I was simply told that everyone’s tv was broken that weekend. I was never given any compensation or even an apology.
Another issue we had was that every time we called room service after 10pm the line was busy. They didn’t have call waiting! We had to keep calling back every few minutes hoping that someone would answer.
Lastly, when I arrived I requested to have late checkout on the last day of our visit but when the day came we decided we did not need it. That morning we checked out at the front desk around 11:30am and I asked for them to remove the charge. The man said he would and then printed out my bill and handed it to me in an envelope. It was my mistake to not look at the bill right away because I later found that the $ 40 charge was never removed.
This will most likely be my last time staying at Vdara. Next time I’ll probably check out Aria or Cosmopolitan.

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the Vdara. We were traveling as a group for a work convention and got 8 studio parlor suites. Check-​in was a breeze and the girl who helped us was so friendly and helpful… I wish I remembered her name!
The studio parlor suite is pretty big! Upon entering there is a small dining table and kitchen with a small stove, sink, refrigerator and microwave. Note that the kitchen is not stocked but they can bring dishes up upon request. I bought some milk and cereal for early morning breakfast and they happily brought up utensils and cereal bowls for me. Past the dining area is a living room area with a couch, chair, coffee table and flat screen TV. On the opposite side of the TV divider is a large king bed with yet another TV! Finally, the bathroom… so spacious and clean! The bathroom has a shower and an extra large soaking tub. Luckily, we were upgraded to a fountain view and could enjoy the nightly show at the Bellagio!
The mandatory nightly resort fee (which all strip hotels have) includes your standard WIFI, newspaper (in business center), boarding pass printing (business center), access to the fitness room, two water bottles daily, and nightly turn down service (upon request).
Vdara is a much smaller hotel than your average Vegas strip hotel, but I like that about it. There is a Starbucks downstairs as well as a bar, and Market Café. I believe they also offer room service, but I did not dine at the Vdara. Vdara is a non-​smoking hotel with no casino. I love that the whole hotel is non-​smoking! The Aria is just a short 1 minute walk away if you want to eat breakfast in the Aria Café or gamble in their casino. There is also a bridge to the Bellagio. We walked over after dinner to enjoy the Bellagio gardens. There is no parking garage at the Vdara so you will have to valet your car. Overall, the valet was pretty quick in bringing our car over and we didn’t have to wait too long.
The only reason why I didn’t give Vdara a 5-​star review is because their fitness center is too small. When I went down at 6:15 in the morning it was packed! There were no empty machines and I was not about to wait in line for a machine to open up. A hotel of this size needs a little bigger fitness center. Other than being too small it was adequate. Standard treadmills, elliptical machines, a weight area and storage lockers are provided.
Overall, we were all very happy with our stay at Vdara. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and courteous. Express check-​out can be done in your room on the TV. I hope to stay at Vdara again soon. The non-​smoking hotel is a nice break from the rest of Vegas!

Luxury. Modern. Class. Crème de la crème. Excellent customer service. These are a few choice words I would use to describe this hotel called Vdara.
Our excellent stay started with their front desk employee Angela. She checked us in with a smile on her face. We asked for some recommendations in terms of food, etc and she was very helpful as well. Our visit really did start on a great note because of Angela. We then went to go place our things in our room and we were so delighted to see the view as well as the comfort of our room. Angela made sure we had an excellent room!!! We then left the hotel in search of grub and when we returned we found a surprise in our room: a plate or chocolate covered strawberries and a welcome note from Angela! So awesome. She literally made us both agree that when we return to Vegas again, Vdara is where we are staying.
Vdara has no casino inside which is amazing when you want a respite away from the slot machines and smoke. It’s also non smoking. We loved it. It was a very calm and relaxed crowd in the lobby of Vdara.
Our room was exquisite. I couldn’t have picked a better view myself. We had a walk in closet as well. We were beyond comfortable.
The Vdara has connections to the Aria and Bellagio so that you may get onto the strip or use their casino. Vdaras pool is out but we were told we have access to Arias pool.
The whole place was very clean. Staff were all friendly. There is a Starbucks in the lobby. There is a spa in the building as well. They also have a designated area for über and lyft to pick you up which is more than most hotels allow in Vegas (because of the feud between the cabbies and über).
This is a five star hotel. Don’t waste your time searching anywhere else. This place is modern and chic. You won’t be disappointed.

We have stayed here once a year for the last three years. We always think about staying somewhere else, but end up here. Two things I like about the Vdara, that may be a reason why some wouldn’t want to stay here. One: No smoking. I don’t smoke. With so much smoke everywhere in Vegas it’s nice to come back to the hotel away from it. Two: no casino. I’m not a huge gambler. I like coming back after a night out and it’s an easy trip up to my room. Now if one you smoke or two you are an avid gambler, this may be a disappointment to you.
Upon driving up to the hotel, the gentleman out front begin the awesome service that the Vdara offers. The bellman start by helping you unload your car to be brought to your room when you are ready. The valet then takes your car and you are set for check in. The wait to check in is not long. After a long drive it’s nice for such a simple process of getting up to your room.
The rooms themselves are beautiful with wonderful views. We have been lucky enough to have views of the Bellagio fountains. All rooms are suites. The room this year that we had was the executive sweet. We had a living room, full kitchen with dining area, one and a half baths and a separate bedroom. Don’t forget the in room washer and dryer. It was basically a small apartment.
Also the fitness center is very nice. My husband enjoys the spa area after a night of drinking. I usually enjoy either one of their facials or massages. Both well worth the money.
It is a short walk to the Aria and the Cosmopolitan for your gambling needs.
Most likely we will stay here again next year… Just can’t beat it.

Amazing hotel. I now know that I highly prefer non-​smoking, non-​gambling hotel establishments. It’s so drastically different from the other hotels on the Strip. Vdara has a pretentious air about it but it’s not without reason. Because of its non-​smoking policy, Vdara has higher quality air (you’d think this was the norm anywhere in the United States but it’s Vegas).
The condos-​transformed-​into-​hotel rooms are roomier than any other rooms on the Strip. It even includes a kitchenette! Sweet.
The bathrooms have a similar architecture as the ones in Aria. Individual areas for bathtub and shower area. I prefer Aria’s rooms to the ones in Vdara solely because of style. Vdara is much more contemporary and minimalistic, whereas Aria seems slightly cozier and has more personality.

Vdara is an awesome hotel. It started off as a condo project, but since they didn’t all sell during the economic downturn it was converted to a hotel. This means all the rooms have kitchens and are more spacious than other hotels on the strip. I stayed in a city corner suite, and was very satisfied with the appointments and the layout. The soaking tub has a great view of the city and I used it twice a day.
Pros:
Awesome front desk staff (Ask for Mae, she’s the best)
Beautiful newer property with great views
No Casino
No Smoking
Peaceful
Starbucks
Dog Friendly
Close to everything
Cons:
Valet only
Few dining options
Room service was slow

Definitely one of my favorite places to stay at in Vegas.
The suite my friends and I stayed in was amazing. The layout of our suite was beyond fantastic. We had a kitchenette, a living room with a pullout queen sized sofa, a king size bed with sliding doors, and a HUGE restroom. I love how there’s so much sunlight coming through each room and the view was really nice in my opinion! I just realized there isn’t a casino on the first floor like every hotel on the Las Vegas strip! I mean, it’s all good though… Aria is basically next door! It’s also a smoke free hotel! Also, there’s no self-​parking, it’s all Valet and it’s kind of a wait to get your car especially during check out.
So much space and that kitchen was sooooo useful. I had such a blast staying at Vdara, even if it was just for a day haha. I’d definitely stay here more often whenever I’m coming to Vegas.

This is a very beautiful property. It’s a bit off the beaten path when compared to other strip properties. Everything in this place is ultra high end all the way down to the tables and slot machines.
You notice how fresh the air is as the hotel and casino are fairly new. There are amazing pieces of art and décor throughout.
If you prefer to relax and want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the strip, then this is the place for you.
It is definitely new and chic. Well worth the visit and walk if you’re staying at another property.
It is owned by MGM Resorts, so be sure to get a players card of you play, dine and ship. Comps are valid at this property too.
Don’t get confused when driving in, just take the Harmon Road all the way up.

I love the fact that the hotel is removed from the Strip and has its own road that only provides access to Vdara and Aria. It’s also really easy to hop back on the 15 and head home, which we really appreciated, since no one has the patience to sit in traffic on the strip after a getaway.
We visited over the Christmas Holiday and the weather was very cold and windy, so I was disappointed they didnt have a covered walkway to the Bellagio and Aria, but I guess its not worth the expense since its not that cold regularly in Vegas (this was just a gripe for us because we have a 1 year old and its painful to watch him get whipped in the face by harsh winds as we dash between hotels).
The hotel is bustling with families and those with dogs, and the lobby can be a bit crowded at times. However, this is expected, given the fact that Vdara is a pet-​friendly, non-​gaming/​non-​smoking facility.
The café downstairs sells overpriced sandwiches, salads, soups, coffee, tea, pastries and sundries. The price Point is expected in Vegas but the food quality is actually pretty high and we ended up eating there a few times during our stay. The biggest problem with the café is it’s extremely long wait times for the food to come. We waited 45 min for a grilled cheese and half an hour for a scrambled egg, al la carte :(
The staff is very professional and courteous and they handled the few issues (housekeeping and with keys not working) we came across swiftly and they were very nice about it.

Good 4 to 5 star hotel located in the city center in las vegas. As most folks have mentioned, its non smoking non gaming so unless your a spa type of person, there isn’t much going on here except going to your room to sleep and shower or do the wild thing.
They also have free valet so you dont ever have to worry about parking. During peak times it could take some type to get your car though, so an alternative could be to park at either aria or bellagio as there both close by.
Room wise, very clean and pretty large. Two HD tv’s, a kitchen, living room, clean restrooms, really all you need for a hotel room. Upgrade a few bucks and you’ll get a great view of the Bellagio fountains. Bed was a bit soft, but overall pretty comfortable.
Downstairs they have a bar, little market, and restaurant. But there not open 24 hours. Although the the cosmo pizza place is close by for late night bites.
Overall, for the price we paid, you get a 4 to 5 star hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

I love Vdara! It’s one of the only non-​smoking hotels in Las Vegas, and its location gives you great access to the strip. There are also no slot machines or gambling in this hotel.
They have nice spacious rooms and they also have kitchenettes in the rooms where you can cook and prepare your own food. They will bring you a skillet, some utensils, plates, and bowls upon request. Everything else you need is up to you to acquire.
They have valet parking only. If you don’t want to deal with that, park at the aria and walk. I always tip a few bucks each time instead of leaving a big tip at the end, but I think it’s really up to you.
If you don’t want to deal with a busy casino environment, this place is for you :)

Not a bad hotel choice if you’re looking to stay somewhere central on the Strip but don’t quite want to pay up for the Cosmopolitan next door. The Vdara appears to be a part-​hotel, part-​condo development, and this shows in the hotel rooms, which have kitchenettes and feel like small studio apartments.
The property is also non-​smoking and non-​gaming, which makes for a civilized experience at check-​in and a quiet atmosphere inside the hotel, as guests cavort elsewhere. Combined with the great location, I’d choose this place in a heartbeat even when compared to far cheaper mega-​hotels further south like the MGM.

We love staying here. It’s the only mom-​casino and NON-​SMOKING hotel on the strip. It’s in a great location, adjoined to the Bellagio and across the entry area from Aria. Central to pretty much everything! The rooms are gorgeous. Everything is clean and modem. Amenities are great. In-​room dining has plenty of choices and at non-​exorbitant prices. Service is always friendly, from front desk to housekeeping to meal service. And the best thing is, the rooms are QUIET. We never hear a peep from our neighbors.
If only they had in-​room coffee makers tho! Oh well.

My sister wanted to stay here during our visit. Our room didn’t have a view of the strip, it was more of a view off the strip and of the freeway. The bed was comfy and the pull out couch was lumpy and not comfortable at all. I did like that the hotel is smoke free. There was a little kitchenette with a fully stocked mini fridge, but we didn’t use it-​we used the other mini fridge to store our waters and drinks.
There is a Starbucks and a market in the hotel. It’s on the tramline and close to the Aria hotel. There is a bit of a wait line for taxis sometimes, depending on time of day. There is no casino in the hotel, but you can walk to Aria or other nearby casinos for that. Also, when you walk into the hotel, there are staff standing by the elevator asking to see your room key card before you enter the elevators. There’s a doorbell on each room and it lights up in a different color, depending if you want housekeeping or not. I had to call housekeeping several times for extra towels, and sometimes it would take awhile for housekeeping to come.
Overall, it’s a nice hotel to stay at. It’s clean and one of the newer hotels in Vegas.

Wahnsinns Zimmer mit unbeschreiblichem Ausblick auf den Strip. Für Vegas Verhältnisse angenehme Poollandschaft. Nachteilig waren die hohen Nebenkosten (Geschirr für die Küche muss zusätzlich gezahlt werden, Frühstück im Hotel gibt es nicht unter 20 Dollar, Steuern und Resortgebühren pro Nacht etwa 30 Dollar)

Un hôtel à Las Vegas que j’ai adoré! Tout d’abord il n’y a pas de casino donc on est loin du bruit et des cigarettes! Et si on veut jouer il y a les hôtels Aria, Cosmo qui sont juste à côté, et le Bellagio par tramway. L’hôtel qui est assez récent est magnifique! Tout est moderne, une belle vue, la chambre est assez grande, il y a même une cuisine et dans chaque salle de bain une douche et une baignoire.
