Just got back from a 3-day stay at Vdara. Booked a city-corner suite and got one (upgrade trick did not work), and the first night we were given \"the only available\" suite at 6th floor, facing the pool. I would say if it's in the summer, the view must be good, but for winter..... Anyway, the front desk girl was willing to help out so she checked with the manager and offered some credit and put me on the list to move to higher floor city-corner. I had to move on the 2nd day to a much higher floor and man, day and night difference. From the other side of the building, we had the Bellaggio fountain view and could see the mountains etc. No \"strip view\" per se, since everything else is pretty much blocked by the Cosmopolitan. Anyway, suite was spacious with 2-sink bathroom, had kitchen range, microwave, fridge and even washer and dryer.\n\nEnough for the room, as for the location, it's not really ideal. The hotel is barely a hotel, nothing more, so if you are for the entertainment, you need to go out to other hotel/casino. It's connected to Bellagio via a sky bridge, and you will need to walk for a good 15-20 min to reach the connection to Balllys and Caesars. And if you want to walk along Las Vegas Blvd, then you have to walk another block towards Hamon Ave. So it's a lot of vein walking. The hotel itself has only a full size restaurant Silk Road, a market cafe, a starbucks and one tiny lounge bar, that's it, no theater, no casino, no night clubs. You will be surprised by its small size (due to the narrow lot it was built on) if you have stayed at other venues before. My 2 cents, if you want a good and quiet rest in suites, stay at Vdara; otherwise choose others.
