    The hotel is completely smoke-free and casino-free, and most of the rooms are suites, which makes it a great choice for families with kids. However, for a hotel in this price range, I was surprised that the hand soap, body wash, and shampoo all had the exact same scent. It just felt like an odd choice. I was also disappointed that the bottled water and in-room coffee didn't seem to be complimentary and appeared to come with an extra charge. That was pretty confusing and not what I expected from a higher-end hotel.

    108/2026/June Staying here for 3 days !! The porte-cochere of this hotel has been utilized as a pool above it!! Vdara is a non- gaming as well as a smoke-free hotel owned by the MGM Resorts that has a an outdoor walkway to Aria and a connected indoor walkway to Cosmopolitan and Bellagio!! Stayed at the 32nd floor of the hotel!! It is designed as a condo-style suites with a kitchenette offering cooktop, microwave, and full size fridge, a dining seating area, as well as a large spa-like bathroom!! Exceptional service from valet service , check -in as well as housekeeping staff!!

    Stinks and dirty bed.

    First time we visit this hotel Very bad experience bed cover is stinky and dirty, call front desk for hours no one comes and still on hold

    I stayed for 1 night and 2 nights on 2 occasions on a weekend while family was visiting. The rooms are suite-ish, all of them I believe. Kitchen, stove, fridge, all of that! It's nice to have that extra space. The 2 night stay started out pretty bad. We arrived to check in at 8 pm and were told the room wasn't ready. We had a corner suite reserved. We knew something was up at this point. When we got the room keys for the suite, we were apprehensive. Upon entering the suite, it smelled musty. We didn't see anything unusual so we left the room after a short while to enjoy the rest of the night. This suite even had washer/dryer! The room still smelled when we returned and we decided to go to sleep and hope it was better in the morning. I slept on the foldout couch which was pretty comfortable. It turned out the carpet was wet in the bedroom causing the musty smell. So they decided to give us the room knowing it wasn't dry yet. Oy vay! We switched rooms to a regular 2 queen room and they agreed to comp the room. I guess it turned out OK but I was enjoying the suite! During my 1 night stay, we had a bevvie at ViceVersa (former Bar Vdara) on the patio, near a firepit. They had seasonal cocktails, which was nice. Breakfast at ViceVersa was pretty good. It wasn't crowded and I enjoyed not having to wait to eat! I used the pool during the 2 night stay and found it enjoyable. It wasn't crowded and the vibe was casual. Vdara is a good choice for location and amenities but they lost me with their shady handling of the wet carpet.

    This hotel is nice, but frustrating. Let's start with the nice. My room was pretty, it had a nice view, and it seemed to be "modern." I also enjoyed not having a casino in the building which to me made it seem more quiet as well as less smoky. And while I enjoyed my room, there were things that frustrated me. The fitness center had very limited hours. It was open from 6a - 5p. That means if you rise early or want to work out in the evening - you're not doing it in this hotel's gym. I believe you can go to the cardio center at Aria, but still. Second frustrating point was the cost. If you want to eat or drink - you're going to pay dearly. I posted a picture of an $8 Coke. You're better off hitting a grocery store instead. I used to love visiting the Las Vegas strip. It just doesn't seem worth it anymore.

    We loved this hotel. The room was ins self comfortable and had everything we could need. We had one of the suites for this trip which we got at a great price. It's also nicely located with the connectors to the nearby hotels. Biggest issue was the tablet in the room to control some stuff and order food. It was insanely glitchy and basically don't work.

    We booked the Vdara for several nights. It's one of the few hotels without a dedicated casino. It is conveniently located to all the places we did want to go to like the Aria, Cosmopolitan, and Bellagio. They upgraded our room to a higher floor and we stayed in a very large suite. The room was beautiful with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. We got a great view of the Bellagio Fountains as well as other Vegas sites. Amenities were typical if a little more high end than usual.

    MGM, is everything ok? I've stayed at Vdara many times, and six years ago it was truly a luxury property: clean, quiet, smoke-free, with beautiful views. Based on that experience, I booked a Stay-Well Executive Corner Suite for this trip--specifically for the promised enhanced cleaning, air filtration, and higher room standards. Unfortunately, this was one of the dirtiest and most poorly maintained hotel stays I've ever had, and absolutely not what you expect from a $600/night room (about $2,000 total for three nights before tax and resort fees). We arrived a little before midnight after checking in online earlier in the day. Getting the keys was smooth--that was the last smooth part of the stay. The moment we entered the suite, it was obvious the room had not been serviced and had suffered years of heavy wear without proper maintenance: * Brownish-yellow water came out of the bathroom faucet and drained extremely slowly (I foolishly thought this was a Stay-Well Vitamin C water, only to find out later that there was a plumbing issue) * Broken light fixtures and damaged lamp. * Carpet stained, worn, and lifting. * Thick dust on surfaces and screens. * An uncapped pen left out, as if someone had been in the middle of using it. * And worst of all: hairs in the bed from multiple people, stains on the couch, and slight fecal stains left in the toilet. This was a Stay-Well room--sold on enhanced cleanliness. When I called the front desk at midnight, exhausted with young children, I was offered two options: 1. Move to a non-Stay-Well room, or 2. Wait for housekeeping. There was no apology, no sense of urgency--just two matter-of-fact options. Vdara did send a bellman with new keys, which I appreciated, but by then my child had fallen asleep and I was too tired to move. I had morning meetings and left in a rush, expecting the room to be properly serviced when I returned later in the day. When I came back around 5 PM, I went to the front desk to finish the unfinished complaint even going back to the room. I was told housekeeping had been in the room three times, "cleaning and inspecting." While I was there, coincidentally, someone else arrived to the counter next to me with the same complaint. After nearly an hour at the front desk and speaking with a manager, Vdara finally agreed to switch my room but the new room was still being cleaned, so not actually ready (fishy at 6:30 PM if you think about it). But I was happy with the resolution and went back to the room to wait. Only to find out that I had been lied to. When I returned to the room: * The bed was still unmade. * Trash was still there. * Fingerprints remained on the closet doors. * The same stains were untouched. * And the fecal stains in the toilet were still there. The only thing housekeeping appears to have done was return a minibar item my toddler had picked up. Before moving our belongings to leave Vdara for good, I took a good look as I walked through the property and noticed: * Cracked tiles and damaged wood panels in the elevator. * Stained, bubbling, and dirty hallway carpets. * Trim and finishes throughout showing heavy wear and neglect. The condition of the hotel overall confirmed that this wasn't an isolated housekeeping miss. It felt like a property that had been left behind by MGM, overshadowed maybe by the more bustling Aria and the slightly younger Cosmopolitan next door. I've had better experiences at basic motels. Vdara is far past its prime and no longer resembles the luxury, wellness-focused hotel it once was. The Stay-Well Executive Suite was nowhere near the standard marketed, and the response from staff made the situation significantly worse. I truly hope MGM re-evaluates the upkeep and management (or housekeeping) of Vdara, because in its current state, it does not deserve the "luxury" label. However, from the one-star Yelp reviews that mirror my experience that I'm just seeing now, it seems that MGM sadly, does not care.

    I love the feeling of this hotel something about their design their Decor the lights the selection of the furniture and the overall feeling with your first impression walking to the lobby makes you feel a sense of luxury and the views from all the rooms are amazing especially at night when the lights glow on the hotel itself and neighboring buildings

    I highly recommend staying at this hotel when planning on staying in the strip. Everyone that works here is very helpful and kind. There's so many nice places to sit and relax. The rooms are big and have everything you would need. I've stayed at this hotel before but recently we were just visiting and they gave us a guest key to go to spa and purchase the incense. It is super clean, probably one of the cleanest and best smelling hotels in the whole city. Leo Rodriguez in the spa was super friendly and chatted with us about our stay.

    1. No self parking, you have to self park at Aria and walk over or take tram. A good 10mins. 2. Only valet, $40 per day 3. No casino hotel. All the above are just some things to note in case you wanted to stay here. Nothing bad about any of the above. A beautiful hotel and definitely a great break from the other hotels around the area. It's not busy and filled with smoke. It smells so nice and inviting. The walk from vdara to Aria is about 2mins max and a great way to get some steps in. As a Marriott Titanium Elite member, I was upgraded to a suite overlooking the Bellagio fountain. Make sure the Bonvoy # is noted or show it upon check in if you have status.

    I really fought to stay in this property during my last visit on the first week of December, but was met with disappointment after disappointment. The valet and bag drop-off service was by far the best thing that ever happened to this hotel. I needed to drop off my luggage because I had to pick up my parents at the airport, and it wouldn't fit in the car. And the valet service and the bellman made my transition so smooth and easy. I pulled up to the hotel, dropped off my luggage, was given a ticket, and was in and out in less than 5 minutes. A couple of things to remember: staying here, self-park is in Aria. The access to it is not where the hotel is, it is literally on the back by the crystal shops. It is quite a walk, and you need to take a tram. Vdara and Bellagio are connected, though, via a walkway, which was nice. Self-park is $20, and valet is $40. So we returned to officially check in and requested to see if we can get any upgrades, and the guy immediately said no without checking their system which is fine. We got to the room, and it was not what I expected. It was old, it had carpet stains on it, and the TV was mounted as if it were ready to fall at any time. My expectation was a bit too high for this hotel. I did appreciate the no-casino and no-smoking parts of this hotel. On the first night, I used the food and beverage credit for our hotel room. The room was booked under my stepdad's name, and when I purchased food downstairs in the little cafe, they allowed me and had no issue with it. On the last night, when we tried to use it again, my brother was suddenly denied access because the room wasn't under his name. This really annoyed me, cause how are you gonna say he can't do it when I was able to do it on the first night. I spoke to the cafe manager about this, since inconsistencies like this frustrate your guests. I also went up to the front desk again the night before our checkout to request a late checkout, nothing insane, just an extra hour, and once again, they said no. The front desk was so quick to say no, which really frustrated me. I say this because the following day, I called them to request a late check-out, and it was granted. So I don't know what's up with their front desk, but I've learned their department is quick to say no. I can only imagine the people who had to pay full price for the same room we got and would've been disappointed cause their quality is so bad. Room service is also disappointing. They had my food delivered in a bag instead of an actual plate. The photos do not reflect the actual room. I'm glad I tried it once, cause I won't be staying here again.

    bed was comfy. and outlet on both sides.

    Vdara Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Vdara

    Have they fixed the issue with the blinds or does the sunlight still get through, making it hard to sleep?

    Not as of June 2025! Sunlight still comes through

    Does vdara have their own parking garage?

    It's shared with Aria. You can also park at the Bellagio or Cosmopolitan. Technically, Aira is considered the casino for Vdara.

    Is it pet friendly hotel?

    Yes, you can even book a room that's pet friendly

    Are the beds comfortable at vdara?

    Yes very! Not too soft

    Is there a coffee pot in the room?

    Our room did not have a coffee maker. There is a cafe in the lobby that makes coffee drinks and a Starbucks. We bring our own small k cups machine when we travel.

    Does the room with the electric cooktop / kitchen come with cookware?

    You have to ask housekeeping to bring it. You will need to be very specific and give them an exact list of everything you need, including the specific cookware items, number of dishes, flatware sets, etc. Super annoying that the rooms aren't… 

    When's the earliest check in time?

    Earliest guaranteed check-in is at 11am for a fee of $50. Standard check-in is 3pm.

    Is wifi free?

    From what I remember, it was free.

    Does hotel have balcony's?

    No, there aren't any balcony rooms, unfortunately.

    What is parking like for Vdara Hotel?

    They have valet parking and self park in the garage.

    Which Cabana has the semi private pool & misting fan?

    Sorry I was there in mid January and it was cold so no pool visit..

    Hello is the pool open at the month of february? is the pool heated? also i have kids that wants to enjoy the pool

    Typically the pools don't open officially until March, however I recommend reaching out to the guest concierge or the front desk as they will be able to provide more up to date information

    Can I have postmate or Uber eats deliver to the room?

    Only guest can go to your floor, so the answer is no, but you can meet the delivery person in the lobby..

    I'm looking for a hotel with a jacuzzi in the living room or bedroom?

    No sorry. They don't have jacuzzi in any of the rooms

    How is the breakfast buffet?

    Vdara itself does not have a breakfast buffet, but it's an easy, connected walk to Bellagio. The Bellagio's buffet is good for its value. We are so much breakfast, we did not need a lunch.

    I will be staying here next weekend and i am a nursing mom, however my baby will not be with me on this trip. I would need to store my milk. Does this hotel have refrigerators in the room or would it have to be something i request upon checkin?

    has refrigerators in all rooms.

    If I am booking the "Studio V Dog Suite" because I will be bringing my dog, will I have to pay additional fees such as pet fees or cleaning fees etc?

    Yes I believe there is a dog fee. $50 nightly stay. There's resort fees and taxes that wasn't too much. Beautiful dog friendly place and no smoking even better!

    Is breakfast included, or what options do you have if you stay at the hotel?

    Vdara has a quick service food location on the lobby level called Market Cafe which serves some light breakfast fare. There is also a Starbucks on the lobby level as well (however, it's currently closed due to COVID-19).… 

    I am thinking about reserving the Fountain View Club Lounge. Is it worth the extra 60 bucks? We dont eat much at meals. Is there enough to eat at breakfast? Is there glassware…

    I'd say for $60 bucks the view and noise isolation is worth it alone. Not sure what food is included with the Club Lounge, but the cafe in the lobby is okay for a quick bite. Not a good spot for your typical Vegas brunch though.

    Does anyone know on which floors the Panoramic Suites at Vdara have the extra half bathroom by the entrance? I have noticed that the suites have 2 different designs, the other design i believe just has a door in the kitchen to get to bathroom?

    I stayed on 5th floor (room 5.002) and we had a half bath right at the front door near the kitchen

    I have heard so many good things about the Cosmo and finally got to stay here!…read more We were able to get a fountain view room and it's definitely worth the upgrade if you make the swing for it. Service was fairly friendly and the room was nice. The property has a lot of amenities for both fine dining and more affordable options with the infamous Block 16 for food area. I will say it's a good place to stay if you want to be in all the action of the strip and it also a chique lively atmosphere. But if want a more laid back experience you may want to stay more on the north/south end of the strip or something like Vdara.

    Unsafe balconies beware…read more Per security direct quote: "this happens at least once every three months". My experience at this hotel was extremely concerning because of a serious safety issue with the balcony door. I stepped onto the balcony, and when the door closed behind me, it locked, leaving me trapped outside. It was approximately 110°F. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and was able to call for help. Had I not had my phone, this could have become a dangerous situation very quickly. When I reported the issue to the manager, rather than showing concern, she was condescending and made me feel as though I had somehow caused the problem. I specifically told her that I did not believe another guest should be placed in that room until the balcony door was repaired because it was unsafe. I had paid extra for a room with a balcony, yet I could not safely use it for the remainder of my stay. Because I was traveling for work and had a very demanding schedule, changing rooms at the last minute was also extremely difficult. I just chose not to use the balcony anymorez What bothered me even more was being told that if I filed a formal safety report, they would not be able to refund the additional amount I had paid for the balcony. That placed me in an unacceptable ethical position: either report a legitimate safety hazard so another guest would not be placed at risk, or remain silent in order to receive a refund. Of course, I chose to report the safety issue. After considerable discussion, I was eventually refunded approximately $130 related to the balcony charge. However, the way the situation was handled--particularly the manager's dismissive and condescending attitude--was unacceptable. I would not stay at this hotel again. Even if my work required travel to the same area, I would choose another property.

    First stay at The Venetian -- and definitely not our last…read more This was our first time staying at The Venetian, and overall, we had a really great experience. We were in Las Vegas for a concert at the Sphere, and one of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the convenience. Being able to walk through the resort and get around without relying on Ubers was a huge plus, especially on a busy concert night. Check-in was smooth, the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming, and our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We were also upgraded, which was a very nice surprise. The highlight had to be the view of the Sphere from our room -- absolutely perfect for the concert we were attending. The Venetian is an experience in itself. The resort is massive, beautifully designed, and there's plenty to explore without even having to leave the property. For us, the ability to walk around, grab something to eat or drink, explore the resort, and head to the Sphere without worrying about transportation made the stay that much more enjoyable. We typically stay at MGM properties when we're in Vegas, so trying The Venetian was a change of pace for us. Based on this first experience, I'm glad we gave it a shot. Friendly staff, clean rooms, unexpected upgrade, an incredible Sphere view, and an extremely convenient location for a concert. We'll definitely be back. The Venetian has officially earned another Vegas stay from us.

    I get the hype for this hotel now. They've literally got it all here! You'll never be bored and you…read morewon't have a need to leave the resort. From delicious food choices to great entertainment and a clean casino, I was a happy camper. I also loved their hotel rooms! We stayed in a regular room which I've heard all rooms are suites. It had a dedicated living room which I loved and the bathrooms were huge. This truly felt like a vacation to me. The best part is it is walking distance to the Sphere, so if you're going to a show at the Sphere, staying here is ideal as it's conveniently located to it. Only con was the price of the parking during your stay.

( I'm a fan....so ) but wait!... the scent as you walk in, very slightly there, and I can't even name it, but it's PERFECT. We got a room facing the strip for the night lights, however the sunrise was the real show stopper. There are some really comfy chairs to sit right at the floor to ceiling window to take it all in ... or you can see it from the comfort of your bed. What was missing was a coffee maker and robes in the room. I like to have a cup when I wake up. We are not big gamblers, more people watchers, so we walked through the casino. I did not notice one cocktail waitress on the floor. Is this a new thing? A few ( and only a few) people had drinks. The bathroom is spacious and has all the things!!! I love a tub in a hotel and this tub is the perfect size and angle to lay your head back for the ultimate soak. There is a tv screen in the mirror for your morning news or music videos.... Or a window shade that can go up or down for privacy or to look directly through the room out to that view I mentioned. Ahhh. If you come, be sure to visit baby cakes ( they're in house sweets shop- conveniently located on your way to the elevators ) for gelato or ultimate baked deliciousness or coffee drinks omg it's dangerous.... Overall, a lovely hotel off the strip ( but close enough) at a great price. We will return!

Getting out of the parking garage was the most difficult and it took about 30 minutes. Also, when the concert was announced online, there was no mention that it would be held at the pool. So this concert was held by the pool in 107° weather and it was not fun at all. I could be wrong about this, but the band only played 1 hour 20 minutes and I think it's because it was so darn hot. And I was not happy about this at all. If I was overheating being in the audience, I can't even imagine how much hotter it was up on stage with the lights, smoke, leather pants... lol. So in the future, if there is a concert held at the M I would make sure to research and make sure that it's not at the pool in summer. So basically, I paid $175 per ticket to go see a band at the pool totally not worth it especially since they only played less than two hours. For those who wanna know I saw Stone Temple Pilots and unfortunately it was not worth my time or money. After this experience, not only will I probably never go to the M resort to see a concert, but I also will never again go and see Stone Temple Pilots. If you're gonna pay almost $200 per ticket and spend three hours of your time preparing and driving there you gotta at least give me two hours of your time for it to be worth what you're charging. The other thing I want to mention is the security guards and customer service staff weren't very efficient in crowd control. People were just gathering right in front of us who paid $175 for their tickets and it took about 30 minutes to get all these clowns out of the way so the rest of us could enjoy the concert. In my personal opinion this might've been one of the worst concerts I've ever been to and it really left a bad taste in my mouth concerning STP. Sadly I believe STP died the day the original front man died. RIP Scott Weiland. You are greatly missed.

    We're BILT members. My husband vaguely remembered we had VIP access. I asked at the concierge and…read morethey assured me we did not have it. But we looked it up later and we did. So it's kinda weird the concierge is not completely knowledgeable, but maybe it's unfair for me to expect them to know my own details. It's not like there are other BILT members out there or anything. I think we missed out on some "freebies" and feeling VIP or whatever. Regardless, Cherry, who checked us in, did a very good job at recommending places and explaining everything for our stay with our perks; and there was a lot of explaining. When I looked back, there was a line of 20 people. I watched some Youtube reviews on Fontainebleu and there was a perfume smell...to help mask the cigarette smell. The roses were real, which was nice. Some parts of the hotel were already falling apart/broken. I was hoping for the smell of fresh air...which is why I stayed in a Las Vegas casino. I liked the hallway to our room...it got more narrow towards the end. The room itself was O.K. One room had a tray for your keys and the other didn't. The view from one room was of a dirt patch. The upgraded room had the view of the A/C units. Can they at least decorate the roof top with artwork or something? My favorite part of the hotel room was the bathtub. I basically took multiple baths a day. I went to MGM and got scented bubble bath salts. There are a lot of restaurants that are mostly $$$-$$$$. Miami Slice was good - we kept our leftovers in the fridge and it actually tasted good cold. Chez Bon Bon was my go-to place for interesting crafted coffees (lots of lavender choices for a lavender-lover) and a box of pastries with nice presentation for gifts. The workers were also very friendly. La Cote was also pretty good - I loved the watermelon salad and our server, Joey, gave lots of good suggestions and made interesting conversation. The pools at Fontainebleu were rated highly by Youtubers. I can't say they are my favorite. We went at the end of August and the heat was so intense. I think the glass windows of the hotel reflect back down onto the pool area. The pools aren't deep, which I guess is good for kids, but this isn't really the family-oriented hotel. So on Saturday afternoon, the pool area was full of people standing in the pool with the water at waist level. I guess this is what people like to do at pools - stand in it. Who swims these days? The pool is so shallow and they have 4 life guards sitting there. Watching you stand. The workers at the hotel were all mostly friendly when you approach them. But a lot of the staff kind of just do their own thing. It's been a while since I've been to Vegas, but it's kind of a stark contrast after mostly going to normal hotels for the last few decades. Getting transport to Fontainebleu was convenient. We were able to get a Zuke's. We also walked to the Bellagio from Fontainebleu at midnight when it was cooler. FYI Zuke's stops around 11-12am. Also right across the street is Tacos El Gordo which was featured on a Netflix Taco documentary. It had super long lines around 10pm. The fresh tortillas were very good and it was chaotic, but a good experience. There's also another one by the airport that might be less busy. I don't think my stay at Fontainebleu was so amazing. I think the pools at Ceasar's was better. MGM looked like more fun (and family-friendly) and less ritzy. This hotel looked like it's catering more to the clubbing age group, which I'm not in. However, Fontainebleu did seem to have less smoke smell than MGM or Ceasar's. If you have a lot of money to splurge and spending money makes you feel good, this is the place to go. If you're more of a deal-hunter who likes to get a good bang-for-your-buck, then maybe come if you have some offers or coupons from third parties.

Construction began in 2007, but faced setbacks including the Great Recession and later the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing its history, I was eager to experience a guest stay. Booking & Check-in:: I booked my room through a travel aggregation website. Upon arrival, the front desk quickly found my reservation. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The clerk was both friendly and helpful. The main lobby is cavernous, with decor that's simple yet elegant. It creates an impression. Room Quality:: The Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in 2023; but the room's furniture was well-kept, and free from excessive wear that might hint at heavy use. The carpet looked fresh, with no stains or tears in sight. Regarding the bed, the sheets were crisp and bright white. The mattress, pillows and duvet were comfortable. Bathrooms often show the most wear and tear, but this one was pristine. It was spacious. The layout was well-arranged. The towels looked like new, with a heavy pile and a crisp, bright white color. Sometimes when I travel, I like a room that's comfortable, but not so luxurious it makes me want to stay in all day. Other times, I want a inviting space to relax in, and the rooms here fit that bill perfectly. I found the décor, color palette, and furnishings appealing. I also think many hotel rooms lack sufficient lighting, but here there's plenty of it, along with the option to adjust it to your liking. Common Space:: Although I didn't use them myself, I was surprised to learn while walking the grounds that there are seven swimming pools on the premises. I did, however, enjoy some of the gaming options on site, as well as several of the restaurants.

    So many things can be said about this property. For me, it's "crowded excellence"…read more There is a lot to love about this place. The beds are some of the best I think I have ever been in. The pillows are soft, the mattress feels like a cloud and the products are really nice and plush. It's no wonder so many people want to stay here. Service overall was good. Our front desk agent Gerard was a highlight. Really friendly and helpful in understanding our benefits we got with our room. Also gave us some recommendations for place to go and try as well. However, we had issues in service among other places in the property, notably the bell desk. We did have about a 2 hour delay before our room was ready so we dropped our stuff with the bell desk. The setup is weird, there is an inside person and people outside. It seems like everything goes through the outside people, we could only drop our stuff with them and pick our stuff up at checkout, we have no idea what the inside guy did except to direct us outside. Also, by the time our room was ready, we couldn't even pick up the stuff at the bell desk, only delivered to the room. It said it would take 15 minutes but we had to call and because it was "so busy" we had to wait almost an hour for it. The massive sprawling casino has a lot of games to play and a lot of different venues for everyone. Minimums are high for table games (as expected) but there is still something for everyone to play. Cocktail service was slow at times, but Sandra was friendly and quick as well as made some delicious cocktails. Overall, it really is a nice property with some great stuff. But it does feel like it doesn't know how to properly control crowds and leaving you like you were truly at a 5 star resort.

    Irs gorgeous here! I like this better than bellagio as its not so hectic and feels more laid back…read more It was easy using valet here and simple to catch a taxi. I like how this hotel is easy to navigate and they have a great buffet!

There's a separate check-in area for The Reserve which I really liked. It was not crowded at all. Upon checkin, they gave me a coconut macaroon which was amazing! I did like that special touch. There are separate elevators going to the Reserve Rooms. However, it is still shared with some of the upper floors from Park MGM. I know that other hotels on the strip have separate elevators exclusively for separate parts of the hotel. I really enjoyed my Atelier room. It was a little bit larger than the standard room. The distinguishing factor about this room is really the bathtub in the room. However, the bathtub itself seems to be a liability for the hotel. I have to say that someone can easily slip and fall in the bathtub. Use extreme caution when using the bathtub. I loved the European french decor. The toilet was a little far away from the bed, but I suppose that is good if you are traveling with somone so when they went to the restroom, it would be less noticable (more privacy, less noise). Since they are hardwood floors, I can hear chairs being moved around from the rooms above me during my stay. I was a little bit irked. Other than that, my stay was quite enjoyable at The Reserve.

    A nice stay. I…read morestayed at The Reserve at Park MGM for two nights and had a pretty good time. I was not wowed by anything in particular, but I still enjoyed my stay. The lobby where we checked in was super dark and moody. There was a lot of seating and nice decor. It was chilly in there which felt like a nice escape from the Vegas heat. It was relatively quick for us to get checked in and receive our keys. This dark and dramatic theme is carried throughout the hotel and to the guest room areas too. We were put in Rm 30-24, which we converted into an adjoining room with Suite 30-22. Our room felt small to me. The bed takes up the majority of the room with little walking space. There is a desk, flat screen TV, sofa, and small wardrobe. The closet is pretty spacious and has some robes, slippers, and a steamer. The sofa was very stiff and honestly looked a bit dingy. There were crumbs on the seat and the pillows were incredibly old and limp. I was hesitant to sit on it! The closet felt disproportionately large for the room. I would have preferred a smaller closet to have more space in the room itself. The rooms and hallways are all so dark. There is no overhead lighting, only tiny lamps throughout the room. I am personally not a fan of this as it made the room feel even smaller and claustrophobic. I understand they are trying to make it feel ambient and moody, but the way it was presented felt more like sleeping in a cave. Inside the closet was the brightest area of the hotel! If you choose to have a conjoined room, it is impractical to keep the doors open. When the adjoining doors are open, it is impossible to use the doors facing the hallway. Everything was cramped and the doors were constantly banging against each other. The bathroom was nice with a spacious shower. The water pressure was slightly better than average, but not super strong. They provided the usual amenities: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, cotton swabs + cotton pads, makeup remover wipes, and a shower cap. I must say, the shampoo and conditioner were spectacular. My hair felt super soft and had no frizz when it dried. It smelled very nice too. The rest of the hotel was just okay. There is not much to do besides lay at the pool and gamble. It is pretty quiet and laid-back. That being said, the casino was pretty small. I did like that it was non-smoking though so it was not suffocating to walk through it. I enjoyed the pool area. Despite it being a hot summer day, there was plenty of seating and lounge chairs available. The music the DJ was playing was really good and the pool was super chilly. This is definitely not my first choice for a Vegas hotel but I could stay here again.

    The most unassuming quaint hotel I've ever witnessed…read more It's easy to think that going to Vegas means you have to stay on The Strip--ease of transportation, proximity to the shows, and the ambiance of "the Las Vegas" experience. However, for those of us who come to Vegas often, staying at those hotels often means higher prices and headaches with navigating around the busy traffic. Having stayed at most of the larger hotels (The Luxor, The Bellagio, Encore at Wynn, Park MGM etc) I've had my fill of the dazzling lights and boisterous crowds. I do recommend you try these hotels at least a few times to truly soak in the bustle of Las Vegas night life. For me, I prefer to stay adjacent to, but not within, The Strip. This way, I can have some comfort in a quieter setting and can call an uber at any moment to meet friends along The Strip. This was the reason I chose Nirvana Hotel. Situated right next to The Luxor and The Mandalay Bay, it is both affordable and close to the attractions I come to Vegas for. The exterior is a bit off-putting at first. You aren't greeted with the pristine fountained welcome that you expect from Vegas--the wonderful precession of marble floors, the lush green plants, the ornate chandeliers. The main check-in station is inside the souvenir shop which resembles that of a run down gas station. Service is quick and the check-in process is painless. Their doors all use numbers so you don't have to worry about misplacing your card. Just don't get so drunk you forget! The room itself is very humble: queen bed, LG tv, two night stands, a small fridge, and a walk-in shower. Clean, organized, and arranged professionally. I will definitely stay here again. Connie was at the reception and welcomed me warmly. Parking is free. That's right. FREE. For your entire duration of stay.

This will look like to most a motel with a drive up to your room and an upstairs set of rooms. No pool . You are with in walking distance of the Four Seasons The Luxor and Mandalay Bay etc This is on Las Vegas South You can buy breakfast on site. Free coffee up in the front office with package cookies They have a mini fridge in the room. I was gone early in the morning and was back late The minus was street noise from construction and I was there on trash day so the trash truck backing up at 5:50 Am was an early morning wake up call ( I needed to be up at that time anyways) No house keeping while for my two day stay I would be happy to stay here again
