We had a fantastic stay. The best thing about Marks unit was definitely the view, which could be accessed very easily utilizing electric blinds with room darkening shades. I had a hard time figuring out what the view would actually be like from viewing the listing photos but booked based on other guests comments. You can clearly see the fountains of Bellagio from the unit, and view the water show that takes place every 15 -30 Minutes depending on the time of day. also visible are the lights changing on the high roller and at the “Eiffel “ tower at the Paris hotel, on the left side /from living area you can see the rio lit up. So it’s a wonderful nighttime light festival. Mark had our names in the reservation so we were able to book limo transfers through the concierge and add the vdarra Lounge club to our reservation. The lounge access was very nice and for sixty five dollars a day they offered wonderful cappuccino and breakfast from 7am to 11am. Light snacks throughout the day and a 2 hour wine and beer social hour. The day we went their light snacks include rib bites and zucchini. The frid inside the unit is just a mini frig and while housekeeping will quickly deliver dishes to you once you call what they bring is 2 plates, 2 silverware sets, one frying pan and a saucepan. We sent the pans back as we had dinner reservations planned for our entire stay and the Lounge club for coffee and breakfast. The dishes and supplies worked for leftovers, but cooking full meals while doable would require a little effort and planning. Like if you were going to need a can opener I would pack one. I didn’t see they brought dish soap either. We usually pack a tiny nespresso pot and small milk frother. If you want a coffee pot the hotel can provide a Keurig and 4 pods for $20 per night.... but hey it’s Vegas and they want you out of your rooms gambling and everything is expensive. We enjoyed the layout of the room with comfy living room seating area, a large bathroom with separate tub and shower, and unlike the trump tower a small dining table for 2. We also precooked a pool cabana at the pool. However, while I like the pool area there is very little shade. Even the most expensive cabanas get hit with the afternoon sun. If you want shade reserve the chairs on the back side of the pool next to lifeguard or what they call the deck cabanas, I think there are three, #R. Anyway, cabanas and chairs are assigned day of arrival first come first served. The white chairs are free and do not need reservations but I think most all of these are also on the sun. They will allow you to bring your own drinks in, one at a time , and they “must be purchased from somewhere at MGM properties”. The pool also closes at 5 this time of year (not 7 as was posted ). sadly that’s just when there was some shade. The location of vdarra is perfect. You can catch the free tram right there and go all the way past the shops at crystal to the park Mgm, and out of the back Door of the park MGM you can walk into the New York New York hotel and casino. Right around the block from Vdarra is the cosmopolitan, with all the secret bars and a new food court this year featuring Hattie bs hot Nashville style chicken (yes we took some home. on the plane). So...if you made it this far into my lengthy review....great place to stay...lots of bang for the buck...we would most definitely stay again. Vdarra has become our go to hotel in Vegas.
