First of all the host, Ford, is a great host and as explained below very accommodating. The apartment is gorgeous. Great views. Perfect location if you want to be near action but not IN action. No casino or hordes of people to plow through at Vdara but directly connected to aria and bellagio. Loved the location. Place is very quiet and stylish. Beds awesome. Space awesome. The only hiccup was check in and service at Vdara. Frankly it was not commensurate with a five star stay: terribly understaffed: us and others waited 45 minutes to check in and they were surly on top. Housekeeping was similarly understaffed. Now, note we were there approaching Christmas so it's a busy time, but this was still Tuesday December 20- it wasn't packed: it was understaffed. Ford to his GREAT credit was incredibly responsive and generous even though it had nothing to do with him. Overall, this was a minor blip on a great place and stay.
