This place is perfect. We stay at the Vdara every year, but usually book direct. I wouldn’t do it any other way now, only AirBnB. Checking in is as though you’re a hotel guest, with the exception that they point out all the benefits of booking this way; free parking, no resort fees etc.
The suite is huge, with a living room, bedroom, kitchen diner and huge bath.
From the Vdara, access up and down the strip is easy. If you want to go south (towards Mandalay bay) come out the Vdara main doors and go through the Aria, this brings you out next to park mgm. If you want to go north (towards treasure island) then go over the foot bridge and through the Bellagio - this brings you out at Caesars Palace.
The bar is great and has a happy hour from 11.30 - 15.30 daily, with cocktail and beer specials.
Jonathan was a great host. I contacted him a month before travelled as we were meant to fly with Thomas Cook and he was so accommodating in allowing us to change dates. He provided his mobile number for easier interaction. Thanks.
