You know how sometimes some photos of a listing won't live up to reality, this is the *opposite*! The photos of the place and the view are exactly as pictured. The view itself is worth it, you are greeted by a fantastic view of the strip and a *premium* view of the Bellagio fountains. I already miss not seeing them greet me with their beautiful show! The Vdara is a nice respite from the usual Vegas accommodations because it has no casino and therefore no smoking (what a relief!). The staff is friendly and helpful. This place made my first Vegas experience stellar and it will be hard to live up to at any other place. Ford was also incredibly responsive and prompt when booking, overall an amazing experience. Thanks Ford!
