I stayed in a Deluxe Suite with Lake View (the lake being the Bellagio fountain show) for $321 (including taxes and resort fee) for one Saturday night. The room had a SPECTACULAR view with wall to wall windows and the room was very modern and upscale. Two flat screen TVs, remote window shades, beautiful tub and shower, nice compact kitchen, ironing board, dinner table, couch, internet access (but bring your own laptop), two bottles of water.... \n\nThe entire hotel is non-smoking so that is sensational. Aria with its casino is a two minute walk and seems to have the best ventilation system in Vegas or maybe because so many of its clientele are from Vdara that the air is so much nicer than any other casino. There is also a tram to next door Bellagio and the concierge was able to get us a dining reservation at Michael Mina spur of the moment so that was terrific. I think all of these hotels are part of the same company. \n\nWord of warning. We went to next door The Cosmopolitan and absolutely could not find our way out of the place without back tracking all the way out the front, through the Crystal mall, through Aria and finally back to Vdara, even though I could throw a rock from Vdara to the outside of The Cosmopolitan. \n\nSo in Vdara you arrive, wait let me also say that in my Honda Accord Navigation 2600 W Harmon does not exists, too new, and 2600 E Harmon IS NOT THE SAME PLACE! I give 2600 E Harmon zero stars and did not enjoy the drive through slumville. Vdara has valet parking, so in most cases great. Stop, unload, walk right to the front desk, up to the suite. Super. Compare that to the self park at the MGM, hauling your bags for 10 miles of shopping and casinos, to the desk, then back through the casino and shopping to your room...\n\nSo I get to Vdara and tell the Valet, keep the car close I need to leave in 30 minutes and am in a rush. I get back in 25 minutes and wait 10 minutes for my car. RRRR, no tip for you dingus. Leaving on Sunday was almost 30 minutes waiting for the car. Plusses and minuses for valet here. I also asked on Sunday how to get to Caesar's Palace and the valet told me to go left on the Strip. I am not going to tell you all of my shortcuts, but there is a backroad that is 100x faster than Las Vegas Blvd. Another dingus in the valet department.
