There are not enough stars to say how happy we were!!
My daughter, 14, and I stayed a week at the fabulous Vdara as guests of VegasJewels.
Before the stay - VegasJewels was super responsive to requests and questions - normally within 30 minutes!
The extras - I really appreciated that our price INCLUDED what WE valued - valet parking, use of all amenities - as well as Aria's. Housekeeping is not included but I appreciated that as well. I could get extra towels, cooking sets, plates and silverware, robes and slippers, etc when I checked in or anytime by contacting the front desk. But only when I wanted them - and I liked that! There was even a secret "great stay" supply stash that was revealed to me upon our arrival (no spoilers!)
Check in - was super fast (on Friday at 5 pm!)- there is even a dedicated lane for "invited guests" that can be used when guests of VegasJewels.
The Vdara and it's location - It is really nice! It is smoke free and has no casino (and no thumping night club at 2am). It is nice and quiet. Tucked behind the Cosmo but really still on the strip. Location is perfect for heading north or south on the strip for shopping, shows, and all of the excitement. Or you can talk the short walk to the Bellagio via the connected entrances... or the tram to Crystals or on to The Park.
The room - First - the tub! It was nice and deep. Good for relaxing tired muscles after lots of walking. We spent some "self care" girls time with face masks too. Nice shower. Two sinks and lots of counter space for the mass of products that accompany a teen girl on vacation! And I appreciated the lit magnifying makeup mirror. The bed is comfy. AC is cool. And TV has lots of choices.
The pool - We rented (via the website in advance) a cabana one day. Great price and service! It even had a semi-private "plunge pool" that we share with only four other cabanas. Even on days we just dropped in, there was plenty of space and comfy chairs with shading umbrellas.
And, this was vacation - so I can't comment on the gym!! :)
On more thing about the Vdara... I lost my phone in a taxi. The Vdara security offered to pull the security footage to get us the cab company name and cab number (because, clearly, WHY would I need a receipt from a cab???). This led the safe return of my phone the next day.
Clearly, I can't say enough about VegasJewels, the room, the Vdara and their staff!
