This was my splurge this year, and it was so worth it! If you want to be close to action on The Strip but retreat to something more quiet (no clubs or shows or casinos at Vdara itself) but still upscale, this is a good choice. Since I came for a tournament, the washer/dryer was perfect to clean my uniform before the next day of games. There's a full sized refrigerator so there was plenty of room to store groceries and leftovers. Stove and microwave were convenient, too. You will have to be very specific with housekeeping as to what supplies you need, but they will bring everything. For no charge, I got laundry detergent, dish detergent, plates, mugs, silverware, pots/pans (although I never cooked), etc. Place was spotless at check in, and I didn't opt to pay for housekeeping during my short stay as a party of 1, but if you're with a group, I think it could be necessary at least every other day. Extra half bath is good for groups, too. I ordered room service using the tablet in the bedroom one night which was great. Free internet was speedy enough to stream shows/movies. Loved that valet parking was included. I was told at check-in you could valet at any MGM resort on The Strip for no additional fee, but I didn't test that option out. Dario sent me all the info I needed to make my stay easy, and he was responsive to any follow up questions I had. I would definitely book this spot again.
