Vdara is great. Easy access to the Aria gaming floor and the lobby is quiet

Centrally located, a little more quiet, 100% non-smoking, nice sized pool area, recently remodeled.

It's no Cosmo, but it doesn't cost you Cosmo prices either.

I stayed there three years ago. I liked it but it was in need of a reno.

So I guess it got the reno. Thanks. I'll put it in the hopper. Looks like we have a big enough group that one of the guys is trying to get a group rate at the Wynn right now.
