The location is great. The view is great. But, if I could go back in time, I'd tell my past self to just book early through the hotel.
With advanced planning, it's possible to get a fountain view room WITH a $60 food and beverage credit for $199 a night. We paid $204 to stay at Mark's place, with no food or beverage credit, no recommendations for affordable food options (despite asking and lots of other reviews saying he gave tons of great recommendations!), and not even a coffee maker. When we called the front desk, they simply said it must have been removed by the owner and offered no other help.
If you're staying for multiple days, I bet skipping that resort fee adds up and Mark's place is worth it. But if you're only in Las Vegas for 1 night like we were (unavoidable overnight flight connection), I don't see any real benefit to booking here vs. directly through Vdara. Even Motel 6 gives the guests a cup of coffee.
