Great location! Close to the Aria, Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Park MGM, but without all the crowds and hassle of staying at a hotel/casino resort. Parking here is a breeze! No half-mile treks to the parking garage. Go downstairs, be in your vehicle 3 minutes later, easy egress out of the complex (once you learn the routes!).
Covid protocols seem to be a priority at the Vdara. Residents seem to prefer utilizing a “one-party only” policy on the elevators. This can lead to slightly longer lines for the elevators, but never more than a minute or two (and this was during the busy New Years weekend!).
Unfortunately, it seems to be hit or miss as to whether the Starbucks is open or not (check the Vdara website for updates on that).
