text: Vdara is different from the other hotels in Vegasit is away from the hustle bustle There is no casino and no high end shops That also means it is much quieter smells clean and getting up to your room is not an expedition The pool seemed really nice too but they closed at pm but that is probably because it is late winterearly springnYes it is away from the strip but conveniently connected to the Bellagio which is right on the strip Sometimes it was annoying to walk through the Bellagio but for the the most part it was not a problem at all Although we did not try it but there is a tram that connects Aria and Bellagio nThe room was modern yet cozy There were tv screens automatic shadesblackout curtains a stove microwave and a mini fridge with complimentary bottles of water The bathroom was also pretty niceespecially the soaking bathtub with a hand shower My only issue was that there were no power outlets on the bedside or I did not see anyI like to have my phone charging next to me as I sleep Also perhaps this is standard for Vegas hotels but there was no coffee maker in the room Otherwise the hotel room was very comfortable and invitingnThe service was exceptional Every staff member we encountered was courteous and provided the best service they could The housekeeping staff went out of their way to clean and arrange things appropriately nWe enjoyed our stay here
