Room was good. Basically came as advertised.

The black-out curtains are not good. Do very little to block out the light and the bedroom gets light very early in the morning. In addition, the window in the living room that faces the door did not have functioning curtain. So in the morning, light comes right through to the glass bedroom door. Kind of annoying that the cutlery that gets provided is plastic. Called housing keeping for metal cutlery and was told that there was a charge for that.

Enjoyed my stay I will be back!

The place definitely

No cleaning at all

The room is not the same as in the pictures!

We stayed in owner Ford Brown's apartment within the Vdara building, which gave us a great combination of an amazing location and fab facilities within the hotel with all the comfort of a self-catered apartment. Vdara doesn't have a casino but is connected to the Aria, Bellagio and Cosmopolitan properties by walkways and free tram to Park MGM and the Crystals shopping centre. The apartment is huge and very comfortable, with plenty of room to seat 7 at the dining table and comfortable sofas for lounging after a busy day and night in Vegas. The views are breathtaking. For some groups, it might be a drawback that there are only two separate (huge, ensuite) bedrooms, but there's a sofa bed and a permanent rollaway bed in the main living area, so for families or eg a group of gals, it shouldn't be a problem. We were a group of 6 - one retired couple plus two brothers, one adult son and an adult nephew, so we used all of the sleeping options with great success. Baths and showers are luxurious and the free toiletries smell delicious. A new branch of Target has opened slightly further south on the Strip since our last visit, providing lots of choice for snacks, drinks etc at fair prices. ABC stores have also brought better price competition for CVS and Walgreens. The pool is delightful at the Vdara. The gym is ok but quite small for the size of the hotel and busy at popular times (7-9 in the morning and early evening pre-dinner). Public areas are nicely fitted out and there's a market/cafe and a Starbucks in the lobby. We ate breakfast in the apartment so can't comment on that. Housekeeping responded promptly to all requests.

The Vdara is a popular upscale hotel for business and leisure travellers and was full the night before we arrived. House keeping were running late and we were told that our room wouldn't be ready until 6pm, as against our 3pm arrival and 4pm stated check in time. However, on raising this with the owner, he very swiftly contacted the hotel management and sorted that to our satisfaction, making sure we were comfortable in the meantime and organising late checkout for us on departure day. One slight annoyance is that the apartment is no longer fitted with kitchen crockery and cutlery, which has to be requested from housekeeping. As noted, housekeeping responded quickly to all our requests but you don't always realise you need something until you can't find it! Oddly, although housekeeping spent some considerable time cleaning the apartment for us mid-stay, they didn't major highly on cleaning the table and other surfaces, although this may reflect the fact that we were hurrying them to finish the apartment on our arrival day. I couldn't get the Keurig coffee machine to work though didn't raise this with either the hotel or the owner, so if fresh coffee is important to you, you might want to check that as a priority. The hotel did supply an old-fashioned whistling kettle for use on the electric stove which worked fine. I'm being picky here and overall, we were very satisfied with the property which provided an excellent base for our stay.
