text: Vegas living Let us face it When you are going to Vegas you are hardly going for a cushy bed and a relaxing spa experience You are pretty much going to test the limits of your liver in public and return home with empty pockets In that respect the Vdara is everything and more that you might need from a hotelnnIm writing this review imagining my hotel needs from a more regular sort of vacation The Vdara is relatively new and right off the strip the sister hotel to the more well known Aria The location is right in the middle of the action and most large spots are walking distance the Bellagio is connected in a back passageway The facilities are clean and modern and the gym is the best I have seen in a hotel Iced towels personal water bottles any machine you might need leather seats embroidered with The VdarannAs for the room we stayed in a suite The bed is up to par but the roll it sofa bed is seriously thin and wiry If you have the misfortune to draw that straw be sure to call room service and request a mattress pad or two The suite comes with a bathroom and a half with the half bath having no towel rack How are you supposed to dry your hands Neither bathroom has a fan The shower pressure is weak and the hotel shampooconditioner is not great Any girl should BYO It seemed like a strange mix of luxury and flaws since the suite had all the aforementioned issues while having a fancy Keurig coffee maker a stove and a jumbo refrigerator complete with ice maker Not sure how much use you would get out of that in Vegas but there you go Overall the hotel is nice but could use some more thought invested in the utility of their setup
