TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

We’ve stayed at The Vdara numerous times. We changed our preferred Vegas hotel because the Vdara experience had declined over time. But we came back this year to give Vdara another chance. Location is excellent, we’ve found it hard to beat. Non casino hotel is also a benefit in our opinion. This stay we had a corner suite whose outlook was poor but after conversation with front desk we changed our room for much better outlook after a couple of days. Room is well equipped (used to be better) like an apartment suite. The Vdara bar is good and location excellent. Your second popcorn in the bar will cost you $11 (first one is free) so take into account if snacking over a beer. Front desk dealt with a few things we had to do efficiently. The Vdara used to be better / excellent and our first stays there warranted 5 stars but now it’s settled at a 4 star rating and despite some shortcomings, the Vdara should be on your Vegas shortlist.

It's a non casino hotel with almost zero facilities (perhaps a gym) on its premises - no eating outlets only a Starbucks and a small retail shop for convenience (a wannabe 711), pool facilities closed, and an outrageous resort fee charge of $45 per night. Looks like the building was supposed to be a condo and has cooking facilities, but no crockery stocked up. one has to call housekeeping for the basics even a kettle for hot water. Cleanliness of room are expected. I would give a star to its location another star to its big and open driveway is is not cluttered but somewhat confusing that even Uber drivers get lost! perhaps half a star to its walkway links to the Cosmopolitan, the Bellagio and the tram (with 3 stops). Security staff at these hotels can give one a dirty look at off hours. Value for money is questionable and have to be very forgiving

Great two night stay with comfortable bed and outstanding shower/bath area. The panoramic room provided wonderful daylight in all the rooms - shades and blackout curtains worked well and allowed privacy as needed from nearby rooms. While there was a kitchenette - honestly this is more for "reheat" as there is limited to no supplies (unlike a VRBO). Similar limits for the laundry. That said, the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable providing a great respite from the Vegas action. Might not be a hotel for the serious gambler, but we loved it and would book again.

This was my third stay at Vdara and second in a two bedroom penthouse. The top floors view can’t be beat and the room is huge 1300 square feet with a kitchen, and washer dryer (but the dryer doesn’t seem to dry clothes well). Room service was good and quick. Short walk to aria, cosmo, bellagio, crystals. What was inconvenient was the gym closed at 5pm (not communicated to guests) and the pool was only open Fri-Sun (also not given a heads up). So we had to go to aria to swim on Monday, and only half of the aria pool complex was open due to short staff. The room showed some scratches and dents on the walls and doors, but it was clean and comfortable. Nice robe and slippers. I still might stay here again due to the location and room size for my family, but it seems to be going downhill. MGM signature and elara might be similar condo style rooms, but their locations are not as good.

1. AC was leaking water on the floor. Shut it off but it continued, probably moisture from above. But wet socks can be fixed with a hair drier :( 2. Water in shower stall would drain fast enough, so standing in a puddle each time. 3. Couldn't get to the tiny gym (security guys downstairs can help), need to change elevator in my case. If Vdara targets younger travelers, maybe invest in a bigger gym? 4. Coffee at the restaurant downstairs is just bad. Expected better for $7. Otherwise rooms are big and towels are clean.
