text: I just recently stayed at the Vdara with some friends and our experience there was OK nn Upon driving to Vdara if you have ever stayed there it is a bit difficult to locate its front entrance Yes it is on Harmon Avenue but once you have figured out that you have to drive up the driveway and loop around via facade of the Aria you finally get to the hotelnn They do not have any selfparking which is greatfine but of course this immediately sets the expectation Complimentary valet should only be the beginning of the seamless experience you should have nn The front desk attendant whom assisted us seemed to be more concerned with exposing her beauty regimen all over the front counter where her computer is situated This should have been the red flag to let us know that the employees of the Vdara are more concerned with their lip gloss application versus the paying guests of the socalled hotelnn I get it the Vdara was suppose to be a condo building but given the mortgage crisis they had to convert the property to a hotel It would have been all said and done if they followed through with the vision What hotel on earth only has bed in EVERY room With three guests we had a Queen bed with a pullout sofa bed Good luck on finding any guest who is willing to be a returning guest and sleep on a sofa conversion again If you are going to be a hotel make the investment on getting some double beds into your suites nn Upon entering the room the room was clean and modern Give the hotel another months and the beige carpet will turn into a deep brown color Good luck on steam cleaning those carpets on a regular basis Nothing to really complain about on the room we head out for a long joyous evening around the townnn Returning to the room at around am we are all quite exhausted and want to call it an evening That is tough when the room is not stocked with any sheets or pillows for the sofa bed Vdara if you are depending on your sofa beds to fully substitute a bed make sure you have the sheets and pillows already in the room Who on earth wants to call and request them at am Additionally if they already knew there would be occupants its a no brainer to already have the sheetspillows in the room nn We had then made a request for some champagne flutes and bowls to be sent to our room ie we were out in the town during the day and wanted to return to our room to have a couple glasses of champagne with some snacks Thus we called the hotel to send up some flutes and bowls to our room so that we could immediately take in the wonderful view of the hotel room hours later we return to our room with no champagne flutes nor any bowls We called the front desk and there was no apology for the delay Of course we wait in excess of min Unacceptable in my opinionnn As a no gaming hotel no restaurant at least keep your mini convenient store open hrs What good is it to have a kitchen in your room with a refrigerator when you close your lobby grocery store Also note dinnerware and utensils are upon request onlynn I can not remember during any of my travels where a hotel secures their iron to the ironing board via bungee cord Your guest do not want to steal them and if they did just charge it on the room Having your irons closely secured to the ironing board is just plain stupidnn On one of the days we were there we decided to go sit by the pool Who wants to do that if the bar is not even open If you are going to open the pool area you should open the pool barnnI know I sound like a tough one to please but really much of this is a no brainer in operating a star hotel Vdara decide on what you want to be a Condo building or a Hotel You should not advertise yourself as a hotel but keep the service level of a Condo with HOA feesnnIn all I would have rather stayed at the decrepit Circus Circus Hotel At least they are not posing to be a star Orbitz rating hotel I will pass on this one Next time I will stay at the CosmopolitannnI would like to give them star but I will rate the Vdara with given the rooms were nice for nownnMy suggestion If you are looking to stay at a fullservice hotel do not stay at the Vdara
