If you are looking for a hotel without a casino, but still in a way connected to some of the busier areas, Vdara is a good choice.
Check in was smooth and front desk staff was very kind.
The security though, by the elevator was such a bad experience. The women and a guy, would see me going back and forth, caring heavy items, while showing them my room key just 2 minutes before, and still harassed me to drop all the items and show them my card again, instead of letting me drop the items by the elevator first and then show the card, again if needed. When I asked if they can just wait a second, for me to drop the items first, lady just yelled, show the room card and keep moving. Zero customer service on their end.
Also, at the market cafe, some of the guest would come with coupons and spend 15 minutes just chatting with the cashier on the items they can use for that specific coupon. One cashier and holding a line of people for 15-20 minutes, instead of having a second staff member to deal with all these questions.
Room cleanness was not that great either. I was expecting at least that I will come into a fresh room, however carpet had many stains, the view is nice, however windows are pretty dirty, and dust was visible on the furniture surface.
Another, very disappointing experience, the pool was closed, even though the when I booked and checked in, I was told that the pool will be open 10am-5pm daily. That was not accurate. So I did not get to use the pool during my stay.
