Vdara Hotel & Spa

The view from our room fountain view room was one of the best we've ever experienced in Vegas. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a separate shower, bath, and plenty of countertop space. Although the Vdara is 'off-strip' it is a short walk (less than 5 minutes) via a connected (and airconditioned!) walkway to the Bellagio and Cosmopolitan, or to the free tram which provides access as far up the strip as Park MGM (next to New York New York). We have stayed at Caesars and Planet Hollywood in the past and due to the casino floor the walk to the strip is longer and, in Caesars case, can be even further. As Vdara is a no-smoking and no-gambling hotel it operates like a 'normal' hotel which meant we found it much easier to navigate and getting back to the room via the elevators was always quick. Additionally, we found check-in fast even though we were checking-in at 3pm when the room became available and never saw the check-in queue that long when compared to other hotels in Vegas. On-site at Vdara there is a lack of restaurants and bars, however there is a 24hr onsite shop which sells hot and cold food/drinks to go and, as mentioned, the Vdara is very well connected to other hotels. Aria being a 2 minute walk away. Final note - be prepared for a LONG wait at the Starbucks in the morning, it gets very busy and also serves click and collect orders.

Great hotel with an excellent location. If you don't want a casino hotel this is perfect and only a 2min walk to the Aria or Cosmo. Rooms are big and have everything you need. Pool areas are great. Small cafe/shop and starbucks downstairs which is good. Have stayed in Vegas several times and this is the best hotel in my opinion.

After several disappointing stays at MGM properties in Las Vegas, we decided to give Vdara a try. We paid for early check in and arrived a little after noon. We were greeted warmly by Amber, who engaged us in pleasant conversation while typing away and making a quick phone call to confirm our room assignment. We were off to a great start thanks to Amber. Amber also took care of registering a promotional resort credit and Freeplay offer to our MGM account; our last 2 stays with MGM required that we stand in line at the casino rewards desks to claim our offers, and had we not, we would have forfeited both offers. We were assigned a Parlor Suite on the 33rd floor. The room was impressive and in good condition. The view was incredible. Bellagio fountains and Eiffel tower, and greater Las Vegas and mountain range to the west. The fridge in the kitchen was especially nice to have, MGM having removed the fridge from the majority of their properties. Our thanks to Amber and to Matthew in guest relations for making our 4 night stay at Vdara memorable.

A great hotel to stay in & quieter than the hotels with casinos. Very stylish & the bed is comfortable & all cleaned well. Helpful staff as we have asked for a late check out

This was our 4th stay at Vdara. We first stayed there 9 years ago for our wedding & It used to be luxury but this last stay was incredibly disappointing. On our first day, we arrived early at 11am and were given a room straight away which was great. Upon check-in, the staff was incredibly friendly and I asked for cutlery, plates and washing powder. She said she would have it sent up. When i got to the room, i called to have linen sent up as well as i booked for 3 people and needed to make up the foldout lounge I asked 3 more times during the day for the crockery and linen. At 8pm they were delivered. We were told we could not have any more pillows as they had run out. There were no extra pillows in any cupboards. We booked the room for 3 people so I would have thought they would allow us all to have pillows. I went to the front desk to confirm they had no pillows, I even asked if they would get a pillow from Aria. The guy told me they were "fully booked". My response was that they are a hotel in Vegas and should cope with being fully booked instead of letting guests down. I was offered a $30 food and beverage voucher. Just for future, a voucher is not a substitute for a pillow. For the price of a room & the resort fees, can I suggest you invest in more pillows. The rooms are now very run down. The rooms were relatively clean. However, when I made the fold out bed, their was a dirty tissue in it which was extremely gross. Vdara will continue to have guests due to their large rooms, washing/ dryer in rooms, kitchens etc which is hard to find on the strip & it now shows that they just dont care about guests. 2 stars for the great location & beautiful views from the corner suite.
