Vdara Hotel & Spa at ARIA Las Vegas

Arrived for find out that the have no self park facility, and if you want to self park, you’re prepare for a long, confusing and cumbersome journey from the neighboring Aria hotel...and to pay $18/day which is NOT included in the gouging $51/day ‘resort fee’. Only alternative is a really expensive valet fee, and the guy that greeted me in the valet is no one I’d want to entrust my car with. Expressed the displeasure to the manager at the Vdara, which he was very unconcerned or sympathetic. I asked him to explain what I’m getting from the $51 resort fee. His reply was internet and printing boarding passes.....$51 per day internet in short. EXTORSION! I asked him to waive the resort fee, to which he refused. For the record, I paid for an upgraded room...I wasn’t bottom-feeding on the lowest price room tier. He was kind enough to let me cancel the reservation, then i rebooked at non-MGM resort where they are more customer friendly. Never again. Total fail Vdara.

Nice and clean, not a casino so fewer people in the lobby. Connected via bridge to the Bellagio or tram to Area and Park MGM. You can also get to Cosmo with a short walk.
