text: The Vdara is for you if you want: to be in City Center where the hotels are all modern with no tacky themes, no smoking, spacious all suite rooms, don't mind short walks to the Aria, Cosmopolitan or Bellagio for gaming, buffets and restaurants. The in-room dining with butler style service is very nice and the concierge was very patient and helpful.  All of the staff I interacted with were very courteous. \n\nVdara is not for you if you want: smoking, gaming in house, a selection of restaurants, or a large pool and pool scene.\n\nI had a wonderful experience there and would certainly return again.\n\nTips: ask for a robe and slippers, ask for the plates/silverware too so you can fulfill those late night snacking urges. Ask for the late checkout, they gave us 1 hour no problem and early check-in was a breeze.
