Vdara Hotel & Spa

We stayed for 10 days from 2nd October to 12th October. Amazing room and view we had a Fountain view studio suite on the 47th floor. The suite was lovely and I would love to live there permanently. The bathroom, WOW , would love to have that bath and shower in my flat. Staff were lovely, friendly and calm considering what had just happened the day before. Always feel safe in Vegas and Vdara’s serenity and peaceful atmosphere helped to fortify that feeling. We will be back.

First the things I liked. 1) No casino 2)No Smoke 3) Beautiful Room 4) great Customer Service from the guy who checked us in and we felt most of the staff were extremely friendly. Also, there was a good amount of security. Now the issues: We went to breakfast in the morning at The Market Cafe. A friend tried to order an omelette. The same omelette she ate 24 hours earlier. Apparently they didn't make those anymore. We explained what was in the omelette. The restaurant had the ingredients, after all they made the same Omelette the day before. The Manager came out and said they would do it but they were charging us more. What??? Ten minutes back and forth over something they could have made right in 30 seconds. Why upset a customer over something so small when this customer brought 30-40 people to the hotel contributing a large amount of money to the hotels bottom line. Made no sense. All at our table were annoyed. The restaurant was already outrageously priced. I ordered $15 Avocado toast which was all bread. We never went back for food. We did love the guy who worked in the evening after 10:00PM. Very friendly and funny. Something else we noticed. The rooms had no access to a coffee pot. We had a suite with a kitchen but no way to make coffee. I believe they must have a contract with Starbucks to make that the only option of one wants coffee in the AM. Apparently Starbucks has a Monopoly on coffee on the strip so basically the consumer loses. I bought a Venti, a Grande and a water for $14.79. The pool was nice but nothing special. We had a Cabana. The service was good. I generally give 4-5 star reviews, however, I felt disappointed.

Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms and lovely view. We had a suite, corner room. Every room, including the kitchen, sitting room and bedroom ( except the bathroom) had a view of the mountains. The kitchen had a full fridge, but not fully equipped. Bathroom big with lots of mirrors and counter space to spread out your things. Nice verticals safe that held 3 laptops on edge. Bed comfortable; sofa bed better than average. Big screen TVs. No outlets next to the bed, but plenty at the desk and in the kitchen. No smoking odors in the lobby! No casino to drag through! But if you want that, across the driveway is Aria with casino, big restaurants and smoking. Would love to stay at Vdara again.

We chose the Vdara as it is non-gaming and non-smoking. It was nice to go back to after a busy day looking round the larger hotels where you would need to walk through a casino in order to get to your room. We appreciated the fact that the Vdara is just a hotel. It has a nice bar area and a couple of handy cafes. We had a fountain view suite overlooking the belaggio fountains which gave us lovely views. Room was huge with everything you needed (we loved the electric blinds!) and we found all staff helpful and friendly. The hotel provided easy access to the strip and was centrally located so you go head out in either direction to explore.

We had booked the City Corner Fountain View suite, as we were three friends travelling together. It's an expensive room, but we decided it was worth it, judging by the website. We were promised a seperate bedroom and a pull-out queen bed in the living room. On the surface, everything looked amazing and the view was spectacular. Unfortunately the pull-out bed wasn't even 1,60 metres long (5 ft 2), so our friend, who is 1,80 metres (5 ft 9) tall didn't fit on it at all. We spent three hours trying to have the issue fixed - they even brought up a roll-away bed. This was aprox 5 ft 9, but only a single bed, but it didn't work. We ended up checking out the next day. The service from the on-duty manager was apalling. She was rude and not at all helpful and she was a big part of our decision to check out. We wrote an email to them, explaining our experience and were pleased to find a much more service-minded member of staff their, who was very apologetic about the ordeal.
