Vdara Hotel & Spa

The Vdara has always been my go-to hotel when I have to come to Vegas for a work conference in the Aria. Non-smoking and no casino - a very pleasant hotel. But this time — without my knowing in advance — they charged $18 for using 2 in-room coffee pods! This isn’t even good coffee but I have never paid for in-room hotel coffee — and I am a frequent traveler. This really irritates me and has left a bad impression at the end of an otherwise nice stay.

This is our 3rd time at the Vdara. We went during Wrestlemania Week to watch our son. Prices were ridiculously high. I'm an MGM Rewards member, and they offered a paltry 15% discount, instead of the usual 30%. We have received "free upgrades" in the past, but this time no such luck. I explained we needed a FULL refrigerator, as we were staying a full week and wanted to cook most of our meals. All in all, this week added up to $1,900!!! Ridiculous for what we received. I like the Vdara for its location, smoke free property, no casino. It has very little as far as food choices, small workout area, small pool area, but we could use the Aria if we chose to. I asked at the desk to put us away from ice machines, elevators and traffic noise. I was only 2 rooms AWAY from the elevator, so I heard it all night long, as well as the traffic noise. Furniture in the living room was very beatup, stained, dirty, dinged up. Dust on horizontal surfaces, garbage disposal was broken. Shower handle was loose and jiggly. When I asked for cooking utensils and dishes, she brought up one boiler pot, one frying pan (was NOT nonstick), a spatula, 2 forks, 2 spoons, 2 knives, 2 plates and 2 bowls. My requests for clean towels were answered quickly. If this had cost half the amount, I may not have been so picky, but for a "5 Star hotel" and for the amount I paid, it was not worth it. Will look elsewhere for our next trip.

Nice hotel. We upgraded to a corner suite and it was fantastic. A lot of space and 2 bathrooms. Decent view. Only a couple minor things to mention- if you are going to have a kitchen, then please stock it without having to ask for items. I assume the reason is theft. Our room had laundry but it took 3 phone calls and several Hours to get the free supplies to be able to do laundry- we were hiking so this option of doing laundry was great in the room. But again if you offer this then the supplies should be easily accessible. Our room was clean and loved that there is NO smoking! No casino was also enjoyable and quieter. Easy access to get around the hotel and to other casinos without going outside if you choose. Pool area isnt huge but it was nice and the waitress we had was polite and checked on us numerous times. Music wasn’t too loud or distracting. Hotel did seem busy but not overwhelming. There was only one worker that we ran across that was not as friendly/welcoming at check in but I got back in line and went to a different person who was much more helpful and informative! Would stay again.

The rooms have been dirty the last two times I have stayed . The service is average and until they put some effort into the rooms I can’t say I will go back . On the positive side the rooms are good size and hotel is located near Aria and City Center . Also be non smoking is a plus .

I went for my wife’s 50th birthday as a group of 6, it is the first time I have been to Las Vegas and found it to be ok but nothing special, the spoiler for me in Vegas personally but nothing in the hotel was the smell of cannabis no matter were you went, the Vdara was a nice hotel the room was nice, I found the prices for food a little expensive but we mainly ate out. It is not a place I would willingly go back too but the hotel is in a good spot, the walkways to the Aria, cosmopolitan and Berlagio is great.
