We love Vdara and Kevins place has great views from one of the top floors. You can see the entire mountain range and Bellagio fountain show and The Strip. Its an easy walk to Bellagio, Cosmopolitan and Aria as well as the Tram to Park MGM which is next to NY NY so getting around (even with kids) was easy.
Housekeeping brought up a pot, mugs, plates and cutlery when we requested them. Having a kitchen already appointed to do the basics would be nice but housekeeping was on it.
Having the sofa bed made up was an extra charge but I’m not sure if that’s standard for hotel too or just for those who book using outside the hotel (like Air B). Daily housekeeping is also not included, but is available.
The pool was being renovated so we went to Aria’s pool which was fantastic for the kids. Despite being cool over our Thanksgiving stay, it’s a warm sun and the pool perfectly heated.
Check-in was the same as if you were going to the hotel and all hotel amenities were offered.
