“I stayed at the Vdara for a week during a business trip to Las Vegas and had a very positive experience. The rooms are extremely spacious, very clean, and equipped with all the comforts you could need. My junior suite also had a beautiful view of the Bellagio fountains, which was a great bonus. The bathroom was huge, with both a shower and a bathtub, and the bed was extremely comfortable. There was also plenty of closet space to store clothes and luggage.…”

“There seems to be a HUGE communication issue with the hotel. Issues and requests are not passed on from one staff to the next. And when we call to repeat the request, we are told that there was no note made. It took three whole days for cutlery and crockery to be delivered. On the first day they said they would remove some resort fee for a day. The second day the same thing was said. When we asked about the first set of fees to be removed, they said that t…”

“Lovely spacious room. Perfect location. 1000/10 views! The room was clean, smelled nice. Everything worked well. The only thing I would change is the amenities - having a basic kit with Qtips and make up removing pads in the bathroom should be a standard. We had to call 3x for them and waited a few hours. Apart from that, we had a great time. Check in and check out as very smooth. We had a very friendly butler and housekeeping staff. Nice pool area. The…”

Once you're in room elevators are close by. Love that. $25 in-room ribeye nachos saved our life but cost $45+ after fees/taxes/tips but it was late, we were starving.

“Absolutely beautiful hotel with good sized room and a nice kitchenette. We had a view of the fountains at the Bellagio as well as the sphere. There is a partial wall with a desk between the living room and bedroom, which has a tv on each side so that was pretty cool. The couch had a pullout bed. The cleaners did such an amazing job when we stepped out during the day. They don't have a casino, which was pretty cool since we don't gamble. Plenty of food opti…”
