I have been to Las Vegas twenty-three times on business. This is my favorite hotel and I'll tell you why - no casino and no smoking! You walk in the front door, pass the beautiful reception desk in the lobby and head right to the elevator. No walking a mile through a smoky casino to get to the elevator to your room. This hotel, originally planned as luxury condos, I believe, is beautifully appointed with comfortable modern furnishings. The unit was extremely clean, the bed was wonderfully comfortable, and the bathroom was luxurious with a large glass shower and separate tub. Each suite has a small kitchen. If you ask at check-in, you may get a room with a view of the Bellagio fountain! We did! Even though Vdara is not directly on the strip, it's a short walk to the Bellagio. Not an inconvenience at all. I will definitely stay here next time!
