Vdara Hotel & Spa is a 1,600,000 sq ft (150,000 m2 ) condo-hotel and spa located within the CityCenter complex across from Aria Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Vdara opened on December 1, 2009 as a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Infinity World Development.
Vdara's 57-story, 578-foot (176 m) tower houses 1,495 suites; an 18,000 sq ft (1,700 m2), two-story spa, salon and fitness center; a market and a bar. It also has a 40,000 sq ft (3,700 m2) pool and deck area. Vdara does not contain casino space and, along with Mandarin Oriental, is one of two non-gaming, non-smoking hotels within CityCenter. In 2011, Vdara received its first AAA Four Diamond Award. The "V" in Vdara stands for "Vegas" and "ara" is meant to evoke established high-end boutique hotels, such as the Aviara or Vicara. Artwork is incorporated into Vdara's interior and exterior design. Nancy Rubin's 50 by 80 ft (15 by 24 m) canoe sculpture "Big Edge" is displayed at the entrance of the hotel and an 8 by 32 ft (2.4 by 9.8 m) painting by Frank Stella hangs above the registration desk in the lobby.
Vdara contains 1,495 suites which include studios, deluxe studios, one- and two-bedroom suites and one- and two-bedroom penthouses. The units range from 526 to 1,750 sq ft (48.9 to 163 m2) in size and contain a kitchen as well as a washing machine and dryer. The suites at Vdara are sold as private residences and owners have the option to participate in a rental program to lease their condos as hotel rooms when they are not residing there. The unsold pool of condos are structured as permanent hotel rooms managed by MGM Resorts International. These condos are leased for short-term and long-term rentals of at least 30 days.
This all-suite, smoke-free, non-gaming CityCenter resort is connected to the Bellagio and invites you to do things differently in Vegas. Plan your best getaway with perfectly planned packages available on the Vdara Hotel and Spa website, www.vdara.com
