Fantastic stay. Check in was easy, check out was even easier. The Vdara is in great location. It’s a lovely quiet, smoke-free hotel connected to the Bellagio, Cosmopolitan and Aria perfectly central. Very short walk to the free MGM tram, which we used often. Free bottled water daily although you need to ask for these at the front desk, which became a bit of a hassle as it tended to be busy.
The view was technically not a view of the strip, but we could see the back of the Bellagio and a tiny bit of the fountain. We could mainly see the roads behind the strip and mountains, which were still beautiful - especially at night.
Our room had everything we needed, small mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and hob (although the hob took a very long time to boil a pan of water). The only con I can think of is that the room does look dated and rough around the edges. A bit dusty and we found sweets and rubbish had fallen down the sofa (from previous guests) when we were making up the sofa bed. We also found a dirty earbud left on the window sill which was initially very off putting, but we did get over it after giving the place a wipe over ourselves.
We stayed 9 nights and I would recommend Stripview suites / owner leaves a dustpan and brush so guests can sweep daily and keep the apartment tidy (as there was no housekeeping included).
All in all, we loved our stay it was excellent value and we also saved a lot of money from being able to prepare breakfast and lunch in the apart
