    I highly recommend staying at this hotel when planning on staying in the strip. Everyone that works here is very helpful and kind. There's so many nice places to sit and relax. The rooms are big and have everything you would need. I've stayed at this hotel before but recently we were just visiting and they gave us a guest key to go to spa and purchase the incense. It is super clean, probably one of the cleanest and best smelling hotels in the whole city. Leo Rodriguez in the spa was super friendly and chatted with us about our stay.

    We booked the Vdara for several nights. It's one of the few hotels without a dedicated casino. It is conveniently located to all the places we did want to go to like the Aria, Cosmopolitan, and Bellagio. They upgraded our room to a higher floor and we stayed in a very large suite. The room was beautiful with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. We got a great view of the Bellagio Fountains as well as other Vegas sites. Amenities were typical if a little more high end than usual.

    MGM, is everything ok? I've stayed at Vdara many times, and six years ago it was truly a luxury property: clean, quiet, smoke-free, with beautiful views. Based on that experience, I booked a Stay-Well Executive Corner Suite for this trip--specifically for the promised enhanced cleaning, air filtration, and higher room standards. Unfortunately, this was one of the dirtiest and most poorly maintained hotel stays I've ever had, and absolutely not what you expect from a $600/night room (about $2,000 total for three nights before tax and resort fees). We arrived a little before midnight after checking in online earlier in the day. Getting the keys was smooth--that was the last smooth part of the stay. The moment we entered the suite, it was obvious the room had not been serviced and had suffered years of heavy wear without proper maintenance: * Brownish-yellow water came out of the bathroom faucet and drained extremely slowly (I foolishly thought this was a Stay-Well Vitamin C water, only to find out later that there was a plumbing issue) * Broken light fixtures and damaged lamp. * Carpet stained, worn, and lifting. * Thick dust on surfaces and screens. * An uncapped pen left out, as if someone had been in the middle of using it. * And worst of all: hairs in the bed from multiple people, stains on the couch, and slight fecal stains left in the toilet. This was a Stay-Well room--sold on enhanced cleanliness. When I called the front desk at midnight, exhausted with young children, I was offered two options: 1. Move to a non-Stay-Well room, or 2. Wait for housekeeping. There was no apology, no sense of urgency--just two matter-of-fact options. Vdara did send a bellman with new keys, which I appreciated, but by then my child had fallen asleep and I was too tired to move. I had morning meetings and left in a rush, expecting the room to be properly serviced when I returned later in the day. When I came back around 5 PM, I went to the front desk to finish the unfinished complaint even going back to the room. I was told housekeeping had been in the room three times, "cleaning and inspecting." While I was there, coincidentally, someone else arrived to the counter next to me with the same complaint. After nearly an hour at the front desk and speaking with a manager, Vdara finally agreed to switch my room but the new room was still being cleaned, so not actually ready (fishy at 6:30 PM if you think about it). But I was happy with the resolution and went back to the room to wait. Only to find out that I had been lied to. When I returned to the room: * The bed was still unmade. * Trash was still there. * Fingerprints remained on the closet doors. * The same stains were untouched. * And the fecal stains in the toilet were still there. The only thing housekeeping appears to have done was return a minibar item my toddler had picked up. Before moving our belongings to leave Vdara for good, I took a good look as I walked through the property and noticed: * Cracked tiles and damaged wood panels in the elevator. * Stained, bubbling, and dirty hallway carpets. * Trim and finishes throughout showing heavy wear and neglect. The condition of the hotel overall confirmed that this wasn't an isolated housekeeping miss. It felt like a property that had been left behind by MGM, overshadowed maybe by the more bustling Aria and the slightly younger Cosmopolitan next door. I've had better experiences at basic motels. Vdara is far past its prime and no longer resembles the luxury, wellness-focused hotel it once was. The Stay-Well Executive Suite was nowhere near the standard marketed, and the response from staff made the situation significantly worse. I truly hope MGM re-evaluates the upkeep and management (or housekeeping) of Vdara, because in its current state, it does not deserve the "luxury" label. However, from the one-star Yelp reviews that mirror my experience that I'm just seeing now, it seems that MGM sadly, does not care.

    I really fought to stay in this property during my last visit on the first week of December, but was met with disappointment after disappointment. The valet and bag drop-off service was by far the best thing that ever happened to this hotel. I needed to drop off my luggage because I had to pick up my parents at the airport, and it wouldn't fit in the car. And the valet service and the bellman made my transition so smooth and easy. I pulled up to the hotel, dropped off my luggage, was given a ticket, and was in and out in less than 5 minutes. A couple of things to remember: staying here, self-park is in Aria. The access to it is not where the hotel is, it is literally on the back by the crystal shops. It is quite a walk, and you need to take a tram. Vdara and Bellagio are connected, though, via a walkway, which was nice. Self-park is $20, and valet is $40. So we returned to officially check in and requested to see if we can get any upgrades, and the guy immediately said no without checking their system which is fine. We got to the room, and it was not what I expected. It was old, it had carpet stains on it, and the TV was mounted as if it were ready to fall at any time. My expectation was a bit too high for this hotel. I did appreciate the no-casino and no-smoking parts of this hotel. On the first night, I used the food and beverage credit for our hotel room. The room was booked under my stepdad's name, and when I purchased food downstairs in the little cafe, they allowed me and had no issue with it. On the last night, when we tried to use it again, my brother was suddenly denied access because the room wasn't under his name. This really annoyed me, cause how are you gonna say he can't do it when I was able to do it on the first night. I spoke to the cafe manager about this, since inconsistencies like this frustrate your guests. I also went up to the front desk again the night before our checkout to request a late checkout, nothing insane, just an extra hour, and once again, they said no. The front desk was so quick to say no, which really frustrated me. I say this because the following day, I called them to request a late check-out, and it was granted. So I don't know what's up with their front desk, but I've learned their department is quick to say no. I can only imagine the people who had to pay full price for the same room we got and would've been disappointed cause their quality is so bad. Room service is also disappointing. They had my food delivered in a bag instead of an actual plate. The photos do not reflect the actual room. I'm glad I tried it once, cause I won't be staying here again.

    1. No self parking, you have to self park at Aria and walk over or take tram. A good 10mins. 2. Only valet, $40 per day 3. No casino hotel. All the above are just some things to note in case you wanted to stay here. Nothing bad about any of the above. A beautiful hotel and definitely a great break from the other hotels around the area. It's not busy and filled with smoke. It smells so nice and inviting. The walk from vdara to Aria is about 2mins max and a great way to get some steps in. As a Marriott Titanium Elite member, I was upgraded to a suite overlooking the Bellagio fountain. Make sure the Bonvoy # is noted or show it upon check in if you have status.

    bed was comfy. and outlet on both sides.

    first time at Vdara and wont be my last! Vegas had a deal to bring more tourist and well it worked. i got two night stay and each night $100 food/beverage credit. note the credit does not apply for the market retail only restaurants. little mix up at check in, but they fixed it right away. the lobby has a starbucks which is convenient. the rideshare is right outside the lobby next to small dog area which is cool. room side is big i love the extra room for dining/kitchen. you will have to call for utensil dishware. i wish they put at least one set and free coffee for the keriug machine.

    Great hotel on the strip. Love the fragrance throughout. Soft and not overbearing. Great lounges and stacks for morning matcha easy access. Our room was spacious with a mini kitchen, had an epic view of strip and nice big tub. Luxurious bag products for use. Log how it's connected to Bellagio and Aria I recommend for sure!

    Old fashioned

    We popped in for a drink at the bar here and so glad we did. It was crowded as there was a convention in town but Todd greeted us as if we were the only people at the bar and took his time taking our order and ensuring he made the drinks to our liking. One of the best old fashioned drinks I have ever had and my husband said the same about his. Definitely a nice spot to pop in and have a drink!

    TV Lounge

    Impressive modern architecturally designed structure. Adequately accommodating Porte Cocherre (at time of visit)Beautiful interiors. Game machines immediately as you enter next to the lobby. Right away creates that feeling and atmosphere of being in Vegas. Checked in and got to our room on the 37th floor. Kitchenette and dinette as you enter. TV lounge with couch bed next, then queen bed in sleeping area. Amazing north side partial view Las Vegas strip from our widow. Wonderful experience.

    Our home away from home. Call me crazy, but I LOVE having a kitchenette in the room even if I'm not using it. LOL We like to rent a car when we're in Vegas and eat off the strip (yummier and cheaper) so we'' almost always overorder and have leftovers and the fridge and microwave come in real handy. Each room is a suite. Spacious and clean. Some rooms even have a dishwasher and laundry and dryer machines dagnabit. Note: Vdara does NOT have a casino, but you can easily walk over to Aria or Cosmo to get your gambling fix. It's never bothered us. It's connected via walkway to Cosmo (indoors) and connected to Aria (walk outside) right next door. The rooms we've stayed here in the past: Corner City Suite (most recently), Executive Corner Suite, Studio Parlor, Studio Fountain View. The Executive Corner Suite hands down has the nicest view with 2 bathrooms, but honestly, any room will do as they are all suites with kitchenettes! Vdara is and always will be our #1 place to stay in Vegas. (Having MGM Gold helps too with Valet)

    Wiping off the vents with a towel

    This hotel sent me a reduced price room to get me to go. The stay was absolutely horrendous. The best part was being able to walk directly to the bellagio for everything. The problem was the room. It looked like a motel 6. Please see pictures attached. It also smelled like a sewer leak, which you cant reference through a picture. Also the room was dusty as hell. Look at the picture I took of the air vents in the room. Complete carelessness by the staff. What upsets me the most is the hotel is so unapologetic about it. They think you're cattle and could care less about you. Never staying here again. Literally the Wynn/ Founteinbleu or Cosmo are the only hotels that care about cleanliness it seems.

    We are staying at Vdara hotel most of the times in Vegas. As a family traveling with kids, we greatly appreciated that the hotel is smoke-free and located in the center of the Las Vegas Strip. The full kitchen in our room was extremely convenient, and the laundry room option (available in some rooms) was a major benefit for families. This hotel will be our first choice for future visits to Las Vegas. I would highly recommend it to any family with children or anyone seeking a smoke-free hotel

    Net A.

    Love staying at this hotel just because it doesn't have the casino to walk by to go to the rooms. This hotel offers suites with full kitchen , and a breathtaking paronamic view of Las Vegas City!! Luxurious Restrooms provided a shower and bathtub and a spacious vanity sink. Would love to come and stay here on my next visit !

    Not as of June 2025! Sunlight still comes through

    Does vdara have their own parking garage?

    It's shared with Aria. You can also park at the Bellagio or Cosmopolitan. Technically, Aira is considered the casino for Vdara.

    Is it pet friendly hotel?

    Yes, you can even book a room that's pet friendly

    Are the beds comfortable at vdara?

    Yes very! Not too soft

    Is there a coffee pot in the room?

    Our room did not have a coffee maker. There is a cafe in the lobby that makes coffee drinks and a Starbucks. We bring our own small k cups machine when we travel.

    Does the room with the electric cooktop / kitchen come with cookware?

    You have to ask housekeeping to bring it. You will need to be very specific and give them an exact list of everything you need, including the specific cookware items, number of dishes, flatware sets, etc. Super annoying that the rooms aren't… Read more

    When's the earliest check in time?

    Earliest guaranteed check-in is at 11am for a fee of $50. Standard check-in is 3pm.

    Is wifi free?

    From what I remember, it was free.

    Does hotel have balcony's?

    No, there aren't any balcony rooms, unfortunately.

    What is parking like for Vdara Hotel?

    They have valet parking and self park in the garage.

    Which Cabana has the semi private pool & misting fan?

    Sorry I was there in mid January and it was cold so no pool visit..

    Hello is the pool open at the month of february? is the pool heated? also i have kids that wants to enjoy the pool

    Typically the pools don't open officially until March, however I recommend reaching out to the guest concierge or the front desk as they will be able to provide more up to date information

    Can I have postmate or Uber eats deliver to the room?

    Only guest can go to your floor, so the answer is no, but you can meet the delivery person in the lobby..

    I'm looking for a hotel with a jacuzzi in the living room or bedroom?

    No sorry. They don't have jacuzzi in any of the rooms

    How is the breakfast buffet?

    Vdara itself does not have a breakfast buffet, but it's an easy, connected walk to Bellagio. The Bellagio's buffet is good for its value. We are so much breakfast, we did not need a lunch.

    I will be staying here next weekend and i am a nursing mom, however my baby will not be with me on this trip. I would need to store my milk. Does this hotel have refrigerators in the room or would it have to be something i request upon checkin?

    has refrigerators in all rooms.

    If I am booking the "Studio V Dog Suite" because I will be bringing my dog, will I have to pay additional fees such as pet fees or cleaning fees etc?

    Yes I believe there is a dog fee. $50 nightly stay. There's resort fees and taxes that wasn't too much. Beautiful dog friendly place and no smoking even better!

    Is breakfast included, or what options do you have if you stay at the hotel?

    Vdara has a quick service food location on the lobby level called Market Cafe which serves some light breakfast fare. There is also a Starbucks on the lobby level as well (however, it's currently closed due to COVID-19).… Read more

    I am thinking about reserving the Fountain View Club Lounge. Is it worth the extra 60 bucks? We dont eat much at meals. Is there enough to eat at breakfast? Is there glassware…

    I'd say for $60 bucks the view and noise isolation is worth it alone. Not sure what food is included with the Club Lounge, but the cafe in the lobby is okay for a quick bite. Not a good spot for your typical Vegas brunch though.

    Does anyone know on which floors the Panoramic Suites at Vdara have the extra half bathroom by the entrance? I have noticed that the suites have 2 different designs, the other design i believe just has a door in the kitchen to get to bathroom?

    I stayed on 5th floor (room 5.002) and we had a half bath right at the front door near the kitchen

Some lower-floor rooms face the back side of nearby buildings and the experience is completely different compared to the higher floors. I would strongly recommend asking for a higher floor upgrade if possible, because the views are significantly better and really change the overall impression of the hotel. The fact that the hotel is non-casino is actually nice and makes the property feel more peaceful and less chaotic than many Vegas resorts. Overall, a good hotel, but room location and floor level make a huge difference here.

    I couldn't decide whether to give this hotel 4 or 5 stars... Going with 4. Why? No coffee maker of…read moreany sort in the room. When I am paying $$$ for a luxury hotel stay, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a Keurig or Nespresso machine in the room to provide basic coffee and tea. I'm sure it has to do with funneling money into concessions by forcing guests to get coffee at one of the merchants downstairs. This is really my only gripe. So with that out of the way... Check-in was very easy. My room was ready about 45 minutes before check-in. Staff at the front desk were kind and efficient. I had a Sphere view room on the 26th floor. Very pleased with the view! I probably wouldn't spring for Sphere view a second time but it was nice to have for my first stay there. I appreciated the extra safety measure of having to "card in" to go to the elevator to the rooms. The room was impeccably clean and spacious. The room is more like a studio apartment with no wall or door to divide between sleeping and living space. The bed was comfortable. Two large TV's - one in the common/living space and one in the sleeping area. The bathroom was large, clean, and had plenty of towels. Appreciated the seated vanity. Water pressure in the shower wasn't great but this seems to be normal for pretty much all hotels. They seem to have good soundproofing because not once did I hear any neighbors, no people noises from the hallway, and no doors to other rooms closing loudly. The hotel is huge. Initially it feels overwhelming but you quickly figure out how to get around. Lots of helpful signage. Casino is spacious, clean, and very well ventilated. People were smoking but I didn't smell it. Games are unsurprisingly tight. There is a massive amount of dining options. I had several outstanding meals. I heard a lot about how expensive Vegas is but coming from the Bay Area I felt like the dining prices were about the same, if not less in some instances. Pro tip: There's a Walgreens just outside the hotel where you can get water and other sundries for much less than inside the hotel. The mall was more of a touristy thing. Aside from Louis Vuitton, I didn't see anything that compelled me to want to shop. I did like the feeling of being "outdoors". I appreciated that pretty much everything you want or need is within the Venetian. Unless you have some outside attraction to go to, you can literally stay within the hotel and be satisfied and entertained. Leaving was so simple. Check-out is available online. There's a queue with endless taxis to take you wherever you want to go. As expensive as this hotel can be, I would be hard pressed to stay somewhere else while in Vegas.

Everything feels luxurious from the beautiful floral displays to the lighting, decor, and the fresh clean scent throughout the property. Every area looked spotless and well maintained. The atmosphere inside feels upscale but still welcoming. There are so many beautiful restaurants, lounges, and little details everywhere you look. Even just walking through the casino and shopping areas felt elegant and relaxing compared to some other crowded Strip hotels. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful when directing guests to the theater. Parking was easy and having free parking for Nevada locals was a huge plus. The entire property has that "wow" factor and definitely adds to the overall experience when attending shows like Awakening. Would absolutely come back just to walk around, eat, or enjoy another show.

I brushed it off as weird, but it stuck and it comes up as a gps option ONLY when I'm in my vehicle. Nowhere else do I open Maps and get suggested "Whispers" as a top option. I literally just last night had a convo with someone who joked about Whispers being a low-level strip club, and now I know exactly why it's in my car's logged trips. I go to several local adult venues in town. I have never ONCE even considered learning the address of Whispers. There is no connection to anyone I know, either. I wonder where they took my car and what they did to/in it. Please get an interior camera for your car. Put an AirTag in the TRUNK, as well. Put an alert on your phone (make sure it's set to alert you when DND is on). Your phone knows where you last parked your car in Maps - it does NOT know if the car moves while you're away. Cameras and tags are not super expensive, but I'd pay $$ just to see the face of the loser who stole my car and brought it back with a device attached to it. As you can see, the default is to not believe you. Proof MIGHT give you some recourse after you've been violated. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Put the simple pieces together. Decide for yourself, and always assume your own risk when giving your keys to a f-boy in a polyester jacket.

The giant chandeliers when you first walk in are stunning and really set the mood. I love that it's connected to Aria and Bellagio so you can bounce between them without going outside. The restaurants are all on the second floor with a really great variety of options to choose from. It definitely draws a younger crowd, which makes the energy feel fun and lively. I'm looking forward to trying the Wicked Spoon buffet on my next trip. Definitely one of my favorite spots on the Strip. Already planning to come back soon!

We're in Vegas for the weekend celebrating a birthday. Day 1 was decent overall, aside from the strong moldy smell in our room. We brushed it off because we spent most of the day out enjoying Vegas and were looking forward to our second night in a different room under another reservation. Day 2 started off much better. We moved rooms and were happy with the "upgrade" until we came back later that night ready to shower and wind down. There was no mold smell in the room but shower was completely filled with standing water because the drain was totally clogged. It was disgusting. There was no way I was stepping into what felt like a cesspool of who-knows-what. I went down to the front desk to report the issue and was assured someone would come "right away." We called at 9:30 PM. Maintenance didn't arrive until 12:44 AM -- nearly three and a half hours later. By that point, our entire night was ruined. Instead of relaxing, we spent hours waiting around for a basic issue to be addressed. To make matters worse, throughout our stay we repeatedly overheard hotel employees openly complaining about the number of guests, making comments like, "These people need to go home." It was uncomfortable and honestly disappointing to hear as paying guests who have supported this property for years. And "it's EDC weekend" shouldn't be the reason for sub-par service. What's most frustrating is that this isn't our first stay here. We've been loyal guests since opening and have come to expect a certain level of quality and service from Cosmopolitan. Moldy rooms, unusable showers, delayed maintenance, and staff openly expressing frustration toward guests is not the experience you expect from a property at this price point. On a positive note, I was connected with Operations Manager Brandon at checkout. He said he would make this right but needed time to deliver SO to be continued. Also, shoutout to the housekeeping staff, who were always friendly as we walked through the corridors. Really disappointing stay from what used to be one of our favorite places in Vegas. I'll update this post to let everyone know how Cosmopolitan responds.

After inserting my money and beginning to place my bets, an elderly gentleman abruptly approached me and claimed he had credits on the screen I was using. Unfortunately, the situation quickly escalated. He repeatedly poked my back and shoulder while insisting I was in his seat and using credits that belonged to him. The exact amount in question was unclear, as I had been moving from game to game and had not been keeping track. The gentleman continued raising his voice, getting in my face, and placing his hands on me, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. The dealer handled the situation as professionally as possible and immediately contacted security once physical contact was made. I greatly appreciated his efforts to de-escalate the situation and maintain professionalism throughout the incident. When the floor manager arrived, she attempted to resolve the matter and kindly offered compensation in the form of lunch or dinner, which I accepted and appreciated. While the experience itself was upsetting, I am thankful for the dealer's professionalism and for the staff making an effort to address the situation. I was about to file a complaint and possibly call the police. At the end...I still feel like she favored the elderly man because he was Caucasian male and old. This issue could have been resolved if I felt understood & assured I was in the right.

I also had an issue when I got an email about my upcoming stay, a reservation was booked in error under me for the next week. My host booked my reservation but not the second reservation that was showing up. I went to the VIP area by the front desk to have the reservation cancelled, the other VIP room by the elevators was closed for renovations. It was 7:45 pm on 5/10, the woman in the VIP nook ignored me for at least 5 minutes while she was restocking the snacks. She said she was closing soon, and I told her I would like an upcoming stay cancelled because it was a mistake and she told me she couldn't help me and I should go to the front desk or call reservations. I was supposed to stay 4 nights but decided cut my trip short and leave 5/12 around 1 pm, and the woman in the VIP nook who checked me out was very nice and helpful. There was a man working security in the high limit room on 5/12 around noon, he was such a great guy and a pleasure to chat with. I also had a great server at Yellowtail on 5/11. I usually get a survey after my trips but didn't get one this time, so that's why I decided to post about it here.
