This was my Husband and I first time visiting Vegas, So I search long and Hard for the Perfect Hotel for us to saying. We Stayed 5 nights Mon-Fri at the Vdara. Loved it! Love having a suite. Gives you much more space for your money than the average hotel in Vegas. Kitchen, Seperate living and Bedroom area, Huge Bathroom with seperate shower and big tub! Perfect location!! It's on the Strip but makes you feel like your off the scrip. Whey you walk in it Smells so good! Very Nice and Clean! No smoking and slot Machines all over the place. We are not big on the casino and do not smoke so this was fine for us!! Our room was on the 50th floor with a view of the Belliago Fountain... Beautiful!!! It's connected to the Belliago,Aria and the Monte Carlo Hotel.So if you are the casino type you are not far from it. Rooms cleaned every day Staff Very Helpful and Friendly! Would Hotel to say in more space for you money!

Our suite was initially very impressive, with its own kitchenette, big TV and living area. However, closer inspection revealed some slightly shaky cleaning practices - dust on surfaces and a suspicious looking globule of unidentified matter on the bathroom wall. I liked the location, being slightly away from the 'bustle' of Vegas, yet only a short walk to the Bellagio, and the strip. What kind of annoyed me though was the $25 per day resort fees. I wouldn't have minded so much had I had the opportunity to actually use the pool, but on the day we decided to do that the staff decided to close it down due to strong winds. I feel I should have been refunded the fees to be honest - a later email to MGM management resulted in a standard cut-and-paste 'it's our policy to .... ' response. Not really good enough. I would only return if it's on a cheap deal.

Stayed at the Vdara for a business meeting at the Aria (sister property next door) and stayed an extra day for fun. I've always stayed on the strip and enjoyed it quite a bit. The Vdara was a wonderful surprise just "off" the strip. It's a non-gaming property, so there is no smoke and slot machines when you walk through the front door. Just a small, well-appointed lobby with friendly, helpful staff. Like other contemporary MGM properties, the Vdara has a element of zen as soon as you walk in. The interior design is wonderful and well thought. Even the smell - or should I say - aroma is wonderful. I'm not sure what they pump through the air conditioner, but the place smells wonderful. Rooms are spacious and include a kitchenette. I doubt much actual cooking goes on since there's not a grocery store anywhere close, but it's more than adequate for rewarming leftovers. Speaking of leftovers, there is a mini-bar (stocked with the standard over-priced cocktails and snacks that you end up eating at 3 a.m. after a night of drinking), and there is also a small fridge for keeping leftovers cold. The fridge is stocked with complimentary bottled water. The interior of the rooms follow the overall design of the hotel. Comtemporary and comfortable. Great views regardless of what side of hotel you are on. Bed is wonderful and so are the linens. Even the standard suites are large enough to fit 2-3 comfortably thanks to the pull-out sofa bed. The pool seemed small for the size of the hotel, but wasn't at all crowded even with a farily full hotel. It is extrememly hot in the sun due to the fact the pool is situated at the base of two 50 story hotels with mirrored windows. I would compare it to an Easy Bake oven around noon when the sun is shining down and reflecting off the buildings. There are umbrellas that you can open above most all of the chairs. There is also a nice bar and pool-side beverage service althought this was quite slow. There is also a light menu so you can order food while enjoying the pool. Like all Vegas pools, the beverage service is pricey but a lot of fun. The spa was wonderful. Again, smaller than I would have imagined considering the size of the hotel, but an overall great experience. I did not have a spa treatment or massage, but did use the fitness center (included in the resort fee) and the men's wet area of the locker room. There is a really nice steam room equipped with a shower, dry sauna, hot tub and awesome showers. You don't need to bring anything. They provide you with robe, sandals, huge towels, water, juice, fruit, nuts, snacks, newspapers, magazines. The locker room staff put together an ice bucket for me with cold towels, water and juice. The showers are huge and include soap, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, razor and shaving mirror. Ther is also a large vanity area with anything you could possible need to get ready for a night out... toothbrushes included. I would highly recommend this property and would stay there again. It's a short walk (through the beautiful Bellagio) to get to the strip, and a great experience.

This place is just perfect. I went with 2 couples and my bf. we are all between the ages of 22 and 25. We obviously went to Vegas to party. It was great to come back to our peaceful hotel after all the long walks and partying. We stayed in a deluxe suite. Loved that we had our kitchenette, which allowed us to buy food to cook in our room. The bed was AMAZING! Haven't slept that well in years. The bathroom had a shower and tub. Our view was of the bellagio. The rooms were always clean, room service was very attentive and nice. I will definitely stay here again!

First I did not know there was no casino in this resort, certainly not a minus. There is a tram to Bellagio and Aria and Monte Carlo so getting to a casino not a problem. We got a City Corner suite, it was beautiful! lots of windows and space. Our view was of the pool at Vdara and the Bellagio pool. The room was huge! full size kitchen (only minus was no coffee cups for the coffee maker you had to call and request?) So I ended up downstairs at the cafe and purchased a Latte, OJ and croissant $18 ! wow. There is a living room ,Bedroom seperated by a sliding glass doors. Nice huge bathroom double sink, great bathtub by the window and a huge vanity area. My only complaints were no hair dryer in the room ( I did not bring mine) and the unavailable coffee cups.
