What a remarkable place. City center is amazing! My buddies and I stayed at Vdara for my bachelor party and really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. I knew going in there was no casino or restaurants in the building, but that was fine with the group because weren't big on gambling, and we're not afraid to walk around and find new places to eat. There is also only valet, and no self-parking like other hotels...heads up! If I remember right, my friend said the valet was free for guests.\nAfter being hungover from the night before, we arrived pretty early (11am), and luckily 1 of our rooms was ready so we could drop our stuff and seek food. As soon as we walked into the lobby area, we could tell this place was going to be different...no smoking or stale casino air! Instead it smelled great, and new. The front desk service was the best any of us had ever seen. Check in was quick, we were upgraded on that room for free as well. It might have helped we were a bachelor party but nonetheless we were taken care of, which was cool.\nMy best man booked us a City Corner suite w/ an adjoining regular room, and we were very impressed. I had the master bedroom in the main suite, and had the sickest view of city center, all of Bellagio's property including their fountain show and lake, and the wide open area NW and west of the strip (Rio's area)! Literally the entire wall of my room (bathroom included!) was a full-on big window...so cool, especially at night. Also included was a full on kitchen (no plates or silverware) w/ Keurig coffee maker (nice touch), 4 flat screens, nice amenities, and full all in one media center box (which was good because they didn't have any ipod docking stations, but could hook up to this and play through the flat screen). The bathrooms were the nicest I had experienced in Vegas. \nThe concierge was amazing as well with very friendly and humorous service, as we got some help w/ club info and other details. The only thing I would say that was kind of weird, was they tacked on a \"Resort Fee\" (?) of $20-ish a day for wi-fi, and phone charges, etc. (my friend told us about it later on). There was absolutely no noise whatsoever...not even a vacuum or talking cleaning crew in the morning, which was nice. There is a small store/market in the lobby that actually had some pretty good sandwiches and snacks. The valet team was great as well. We were all very happy with the stay, experience, and hotel. \nI'm considering making this my go-to hotel based on the fact it isn't totally insane like casino hotels are, is a smoke-free environment, and it has a great location on the strip.
