Vdara Hotel & Spa

I had to stay an extra because of a snow storm in NYC. When my wife booked the extra day they charged $210 more than they had it listed on their own site. I went back to the front desk and they change it to the lower rate. When I received my credit card bill I saw they charged me for the rate my wife book and also charged a second charge for the same day and room. I called them and they refused to give me a credit saying I was a no show, and hung up on me. Beware, beware, beware , if you don't watch them they will over charge you.

Second stay here. Rooms are spacious but getting a bit rough. Worn furniture, cracked tile, blinds that don't work. But not having a casino is a huge plus for me as its usually a bit quieter of a stay and you are 5 min walk from 3 casinos. I had a F&B credit that was impossible to use and spent 30 min on the phone trying to sort it out. Keep in mind the places they tell you that are available are not really, or not all items. Frustrating.

Rooms are well appointed with a kitchen, dining area, living space and bedroom. The kitchen doesn’t have any utensils or crockery but these can be requested. The hotel doesn’t have a casino but does have a bar that serves food, a small market and a Starbucks. The lack of casino is nice as it creates a much more peaceful atmosphere. If you do want a casino then there is a connected walkway to the Bellagio and it’s only a short walk to Aria.

The front desk staff is very friendly, and the hotel has a quiet, comfortable interior. One of the best parts is that the entire property is non-smoking, so there is no cigarette smell at all. Valet parking is smooth and efficient, and the room offered an impressive view. It is also very convenient to move to other nearby hotels. I had a very relaxing stay.

Loved this hotel. Been to Vegas several times and this is my favorite. There isn't a casino, but 250 steps away (yes, I counted) is the casino at the sister hotel Aria. There is an indoor covered walkway to the Cosmopolitan where we enjoyed some meals, and to the Bellagio. There is a monorail between the Bellagio and Aria. I took advantage of early check-in for $40 at 11:00. The room has a mini bar in the refrigerator and a few weighted items for purchase on the kitchenette counter. I did pick up two items to look at them and was charged, but they kindly removed it from the bill. The in-room items were too pricey for me. There is a Starbucks downstairs and a little cafe/market for small food and beverage items including alcohol. Loved the kitchenette with a small cooktop, microwave and refrigerator. There are electric black-out blinds, a virtual concierge where we booked an excursion, lights for alerting housekeeping if you want to not be disturbed or have the room cleaned and rooms are no smoking. We felt very safe and all the staff was friendly and courteous. We were there in February and the pool was closed, but we could use the pool at the Aria. The hotel was modern and clean in a good location. The atmosphere was serene, and the only sounds we heard were airplanes.
