While in Vegas for The Cosmopolitan's opening week, we decided to stay a couple nights at the Vdara to size up the competition. Personally, I loved the rooms here more than The Cosmopolitan's (TC) Terrace Suite.\n\nRoom: Though everything else at TC was stunning, the room design was inconsistent and seemed confused about what it wanted to be. At Vdara, it didn't try to be anything more than gloriously contemporary, modern and chic with clean lines, great lighting and technology-galore.\n\nPluses: Everything works on a master remote control from the multiple window screens that change how much light you want in your room to the flat screens (2!). All the accent lighting are on dimmers for a more romantic feel. The room maximize every square inch space, so even though it's half the size of the TC suite, the Vdara room felt just as spacious. The bathroom was massive with a frameless glass shower, soaking tub and dual sinks. Views were on par with the view from the TC. \n\nMinuses: Unlike TC, aside from the rooms, Vdara doesn't really have anything else going on. It was pretty dead--save for one sad little bar by the entrance. We even saw someone napping on the floor of the lobby with their luggage. After a week in Vegas, the consensus was pretty unanimous for the Vdara room--and The Cosmopolitan's amenities.
