Vdara, with its emphasis on sustainability, suite-style accommodations, and spa-like atmosphere, is a worthwhile choice for those seeking a more refined and relaxed Las Vegas experience. The commitment to a clean, non-gaming environment adds to the appeal for travelers looking to escape the typical Vegas scene.
From the moment you walk into Vdara, we think you’ll be impressed. The lobby embraces desert landscape colors, incorporating natural light through panoramic windows. Artistic elements, including a 30-foot-long painting by Frank Stella, contribute to a sophisticated and visually appealing entrance.
Every room at Vdara is a suite, providing you with the space you need to feel right at home in an upscale environment.
Location
Vdara Hotel & Spa is located on the Las Vegas Strip, situated just south of Aria. It’s part of the Aria Campus, which also includes Aria Resort & Casino, The Shops at Crystals, and Vdara.
Rooms
- Every room at Vdara is a suite, providing a spacious and upscale environment.
- Residential design elements, such as refrigerators, coffee machines, and dining tables, contribute to a comfortable and home-like ambiance. And yes, the refrigerators here actually allow you to put your own things in them — unlike the “fully-stocked” mini-bar fridges at other hotels.
- Various suite categories offer different features, with options like City Corner Suites boasting modern decor and expansive views.
- Spa-style bathrooms feature soaking tubs, separate walk-in showers, plush robes, and Aveda amenities, enhancing the overall sense of luxury and relaxation.
Pool / Spa
The 40,000-square-foot pool and deck area offer a refreshing retreat with 19 cabanas and semi-secluded plunge pools.
ESPA at Vdara is a globally recognized spa brand, offering a range of signature treatments in its two-floor spa.
Eleven treatment rooms, eucalyptus steam rooms, hot plunges, and relaxation lounges contribute to a comprehensive spa experience.
There’s also a gym! The 2,000-square-foot fitness center provides cardio equipment, exercise machines, and free weights. A smoothie bar offers post-workout refreshments, enhancing the overall fitness experience.
Dining
Vdara isn’t as populated with restaurants as some of the other Las Vegas Strip hotels.
Market Café Vdara is the main dining option on-site, offering straightforward cafe fare. VICE VERSA provides a small-plates and cocktail lounge experience. In-suite dining is available 24/7 for guests who prefer the convenience of dining in their rooms.
Having said that, you’ll find no shortage of options at Aria, the hotel that Vdara is located inside.
Practical Tips / Things To Know
- Extra fees to be mindful of: As with all MGM Resorts properties, keep in mind that there will be nightly parking fees and nightly resort fees associated with your stay.
- Parking perks: Paying for parking sucks, but if you’re heading out to explore other parts of the Strip, your parking pass will work for other MGM properties too! For registered MGM Resorts property guests, the 24-hour parking fee provides you with in-out privileges of the self-parking areas across ALL MGM Resorts Las Vegas destinations within the same 24-hour period.
- Show Reservations: If you have your eye on a specific show at the resort, we recommend making reservations in advance. This can help you reserve better seating in the theaters so you can actually see what’s going on.
- Stay Connected with MGM Rewards: Join MGM Rewards, the loyalty program of MGM Resorts, to unlock exclusive perks, discounts, and personalized offers. You can accumulate points during your stay, which can be redeemed for various benefits.
- Mobile Check-In: Save time upon arrival by using the mobile check-in option. You can bypass the front desk and head straight to your room, which is a huge time saver during rush hours when dozens of groups line up to check in at the same time.
- Weekday vs. Weekend Rates: As with many Las Vegas hotels, room rates can vary significantly between weekdays and weekends. If your schedule allows, consider planning your stay during the weekdays for lower rates.
- Be mindful of special events, conventions, and festivals in Las Vegas too: Room rates can skyrocket to the high hundreds or even thousands of dollars on certain days. Look out for major events like CES (Consumer Electronics Show), SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association), the Super Bowl, NCAA basketball tournaments, championship boxing matches, Life Is Beautiful (LIB), Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) — and avoid visiting during those dates if you’re not actually attending these events!
