It's about time. This place gets missed so often. Its hidden gem. No smoking, quiet. Great location to Aria, a bridge to bellagio and close to Cosmopolitan as well. My best stay in Vegas was here.
Thanks for the video, Jay. I stayed at VDARA during my first solo trip in Vegas. The pro’s was that I got a free upgrade to a Studio Parlor room and my last night resort fee was waived because housekeeping failed to respond to my needs in a timely manner. Plus, one of the switches controls the blackout curtains so you get a good night sleep. The con is that housekeeping is super slow or not responsive to your needs. I needed to elevate the issue to the hotel manager. Plus, the bathroom doesn’t have a fan or air freshener.
I love VDARA, especially the corner suites! You get a full refrigerator, 4 burner stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer for those extended Vegas stays! Like The Patisserie inside Aria, the Market Cafe is also open 24 hours for those late night noms! You have easy access to Cosmopolitan too by exiting VDARA out front and taking the elevator or stairs down to the front of the firehouse and crossing the valet area into Cosmo or you can take the tram to the Shops at Crystals and cross the walkway to Cosmo. I expect they'll improve access once they've fully transitioned to MGM in April. With Gold status, I get free parking, so I always self park at Aria and take the tram to the back of VDARA to avoid cutting through the casino. Trying to get your luggage through the casino can be a pain, but the tram makes it easy!
Just stayed at Vdara last week! I did the $20 trick at about 2:30 PM on a busy Thursday and was able to get the "upgraded" version of your room that came with a divider that separated the living and bedroom. Not sure if it was technically a bigger room but mine did seem much bigger than yours so definitely worth to ask the receptionists if there any available upgrades! Like a lot of people said, the Vdara is kinda boring in the inside with no super fancy restaurants but it is just about a 5 minute walk to the Aria or Belagio if you want to gamble or eat out. My favorite part was the microwave in the room, I didnt have to force myself to eat all my food at any of the restaurants I went to and instead took them back to the room and reheated them later! I would say its a great hotel to stay at for what its worth especially if you are not into the loud and crazy casino experience .
Oh yeah you went from Studio to Studio Parlor the booking price difference is maybe and additional $8-9/night so you might've gotten a solid deal out of it. I was lucky and got a comp upgrade from Studio to their Corner executive Suite without having to do the $20 trick. I imagine it was cos I had an MGM rewards account already and I told the concierge that everytime I visit vegas I stay at the vdara 😊
Hi Jay! Thank you so much for this Vdara tour! I stayed there for the first time for one night only back in the Fall. I love the fact that there is no casino. Reminds me of a smaller version of The Signature. I received a complimentary upgrade to the one king bedroom suite. Very nice. The view from the bedroom and the bathroom of the Bellagio fountains and the Strip with the Paris Eifel Tower was breathtaking! I also enjoyed that bridge walkway after you pass Starbucks that connects over to the Bellagio. Very convenient. Enjoy your week! CAB😊
Not just Vdara..I have checked in at Bellagio, Mandalay, NYNY days before in recent visits, and never failed to have my room ready for entry before 8am. Will be at Vdara and MGM in May, expecting same results..by the way, nice review..keep it coming//
You've finally done a room review at a hotel that I've stayed at a few times! 😅 I really like Vdara. I usually stay there if I can't get a studio corner suite at The Aria. The corner suite at the Vdara is cheaper, too. I saw that Aria has done some renovations on their corner suites. If you can afford it, I would love to see a review of that room.
VDARA looks quite luxorious even from the outside ,nice interior ,food hall, all the premises looked better than just nice 🙂Your room looked great ,overal nice hotel review😎Thank you Jay 🙂👍!!!
We stayed in Vidara last December! You have to valet park cause parking is generic parking for Aria and cosmo and it’s a little walk to Vidara! We can see watch the water show from Bellagio and the MSG SPHERES which is still under construction! Easy walk to Bellagio or to Aria! Like you said you can bring leftovers to the room and leave it on the fridge and warm it in the microwave!
We love Vdara. Not having a Casino is no big deal because most likely you will be casino hopping anyway. Beautiful rooms especially in the upper floors and upgraded rooms. Always ask about upgrades. They are very a helpful earlier in the week. We stayed here 3X and my son had a 270 view corner. We were on the 51st floor overlooking the Bellagio Fountains in a corner room with a separated living room, kitchen, dining area, bedroom, soaking tub and shower, two bathrooms, etc. Slam Dunk!
Great vlog as always Jay! I love staying at V'dara however, I do not their pool. The location is super loud being over the traffic circle. There's very little shade from the oppressive Sun and while they fixed the Sunbeam of Death, the reflection of the Sun on the V'dara windows is awful. When I stayed there in 2019 a window came loose and so the pool was closed and so we could access Aria's pool and that changed my life! LOL Are those R2-D2 droids that bring coffee to the guest rooms still there?
ohhh i doubt those droids are around but i could be wrong haha i can see that pool not being the quietest but it was drained and cold outside so couldnt show it if i wanted to lol
Great video Jay Jay! I’ve never been to the vdara but it’s nice to see that it’s only a hop skip and a jump to Bellagio and aria! Love that you can preorder your food, charge it to the room and have it delivered to your room! Very convenient! #Jabronis 😂😂 if ya know, ya know! Hi miz! Hi Cm Punk!
Vdara is one of the few properties I've never been in largely because there is little there by Vegas standards so this was super insightful thanks Jay!
@@Jaycation thank you! Happy Holidays! 🤗 Do you have any recommendation po on what to do in Vegas on December? We are planning to do Grand Canyon tour po. 😊
I stayed there in April and I loved it. I imagine now that it has the indoor walkway to Cosmo and Bellagio it would be even better. It was my first solo trip so I didn't take advantage of having the full amenities as I only ate at grab n go places.
That was a really in-depth room tour to how hot the shower was LOL. I like the touch you telling us how many videos you wanted to get done. Did you hit your mark of 12?
The food hall had limited kiosks when I went there over the summer. Vdara rooms looking slightly dated (minor dings, curtain rails broken not working). Still, Aria or Vdara are my favorite MGM properties on the strip.
Hey Jay, were you able to do a room charge from the proper ears to the vdara ? Are both Vdara and Aria connected? I don’t like aria rooms but love Vdara rooms. However I like the different restaurants and how you can charge to room against reward points.
Not only in Vdara. When the weather is too hot or cold to walk to Bellagio. If you are already in Aria. You can go to the back where there is a poker game and burger place. You'll see doors to upstairs where it says self parking and tram. When you see dumpling window on your right you can take the hallway to Bellagio instead walking outside ramp by Vdara.
Interesting…I personally don’t know anyone who has stayed at this hotel. Good info. I get comped at Caezar’s hotels so I know I won’t. Good for the occasional Vegas visitor as great room rates.
QUESTION-Hi Jay Jay, Do you know of a way to get a Fremont or strip room in Vegas April 14 to 17 for $100 a night including fees? I had a friend who was supposed to go with me but he is getting surgery. THANKS!
@@Jaycation THANKS, Its just bad timing. I got the D for April 9 to 14, my friend was supposed to get the rest but he got a hernia thats needs to get fixed, the rates are $200 a night now total. i may cancel the whole trip. Appreciate you getting back to me!

Vdara is a nice hotel with those with families or business travelers who want a more quite hotel with no casino.
agreed! i like the quietness

thanks for highlighting your pros n cons! It helps others decide!
Gotta have a fan!
I bet what you wanted wasn’t even that serious …

Proof that the $20 trick does work at times!
@@Jaycation never needed to do that to get an upgrade.. But add that to your total "resort fee" if you want to I guess.
Oh yeah you went from Studio to Studio Parlor the booking price difference is maybe and additional $8-9/night so you might've gotten a solid deal out of it.
I was lucky and got a comp upgrade from Studio to their Corner executive Suite without having to do the $20 trick. I imagine it was cos I had an MGM rewards account already and I told the concierge that everytime I visit vegas I stay at the vdara 😊
Cool! I was working on food options for my October trip to LV. Thanks for showing the food hall and the room!

Thanks so much Kimberly!! Much love.
Another great video Jay, nice to see you reviewing some high end hotels, in case I can ever afford it one day 🤣🤣
haha ill always have a mix of cheaper ones as well. Thanks dude!
Thanks for video. Love the sunlight into room. If safe is locked, call down. Maintenance should be able to reset. If not, bummer!!
Thanks for the positive review. I'm glad it's close to Aria and Bellegio.
Nice proximity to those 2 casinos!👍🏾
Great video Jay 😊
Thanks Neil!
@@Jaycation you’re welcome ☺️
Great review Jay. Yes, please do a video on Aria. Thinking about staying there for long stays but may look at Vdara now too.
Vdara...looks like a place to stay at next time in vegas for me :)
So close to Aria as well!
Dope video... A video of Aria and the surrounding shops would be cool
definitely will get to it eventually!

Nice!! Didn’t realize it was so close to Bellagio!
Me neither! Good to know those shortcuts
Great video, Vdara is on my list to stay this year. You should definitely do an Aria video as well. Much respect!
Thanks Marv! Lmk what u think after u stay at aria
Great video Jay Jay! I’ve never been to the vdara but it’s nice to see that it’s only a hop skip and a jump to Bellagio and aria! Love that you can preorder your food, charge it to the room and have it delivered to your room! Very convenient! #Jabronis 😂😂 if ya know, ya know! Hi miz! Hi Cm Punk!
Lol i shoulda busted out "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!"
Thanks for answering my question about being able to use Arias pool.
I loved the panoramic room when I stayed here! The only thing I didn't like was the hefty resort fee 😅
Vdara is one of the few properties I've never been in largely because there is little there by Vegas standards so this was super insightful thanks Jay!
Can’t wait to stay in Vdara for Christmas! 😊
Nice! Happy holidays
@@Jaycation thank you! Happy Holidays! 🤗 Do you have any recommendation po on what to do in Vegas on December? We are planning to do Grand Canyon tour po. 😊

Love watching people eat and drink, lol.
16:12 like to watch your videos very entertaining, would love you to do Barcelona again, like to see how sagrda familia is coming along.

Thank you very sharing these videos I only could imagine how much it cost you about your I wish you the best keep the good work up
Thanks Raven! I enjoy making them. I appreciate it
Vdara is my favorite place to stay.
That was a really in-depth room tour to how hot the shower was LOL. I like the touch you telling us how many videos you wanted to get done. Did you hit your mark of 12?
The food hall had limited kiosks when I went there over the summer.
Vdara rooms looking slightly dated (minor dings, curtain rails broken not working). Still, Aria or Vdara are my favorite MGM properties on the strip.
👍 happy Sunday Jay! (Had to leave the stream l n. So why were you stuck there? )
lol birth of my niece here in town and i want to meet her
@@Jaycation Sweet! Congratulations to y'all!
Hi! I was wondering if that is a mirage hotelStarbucks coffee mug? Where did you get that?!
You're super cute, I really enjoyed this video and the tours that you gave 🥰
2:11 Easy Donuts is a Speak Easy club with a hidden entrance. 🙂
The Cosmo is a quick walk as well
Donuts?! I love donuts!!
Hey Jay, were you able to do a room charge from the proper ears to the vdara ? Are both Vdara and Aria connected? I don’t like aria rooms but love Vdara rooms. However I like the different restaurants and how you can charge to room against reward points.
yes vdara and aria are owned by the same company
If you love pizza Moneyline is 🥵 I also tried pasta at Proper Eats it’s the only thing I could eat when I was really sick in June it was terrible 😞
HAPPY SUNDAY FUNDAY JAY ♠♥♦♣ PINOY POWER
Yessir Sunday Funday!!
Does the Vdara rooms have a keurig machine? Tia
If i didnt show one, it most likely does not
I would like to see an Aria video to see how it compares to Vdara.
was the fitness centre included in the room cost?
Chili sauce: “I should use it I paid for it…. And I’ll pay for it later” 😂😂😂
Haha! Pay half now and half later 🤣
@@Jaycation you get to “enjoy” it twice:. Once going in and once coming out. Hopefully only once coming out
Yes Aria show hotel
Jaycation is a LeBron fan, W!
Not only in Vdara. When the weather is too hot or cold to walk to Bellagio. If you are already in Aria. You can go to the back where there is a poker game and burger place.

Wow! I gotta use thar short cut sometime
Was there a Keurig and Free coffee?
❤❤❤
Does Vdarra offer keyless check in to avoid front desk?
Forget dat. What kinda frames u got on my boy? I gotta know
Interesting…I personally don’t know anyone who has stayed at this hotel. Good info. I get comped at Caezar’s hotels so I know I won’t. Good for the occasional Vegas visitor as great room rates.
I get good deals at caesars now too! Sorry MGM lol
Is aria express free?
Please Do Aria I love Aria ❤️
Will do!
Commenting because your mom said so. 🤣
Mommy G knows best!
@@Jaycation Always 🤣
I'd stay there
Nice and quiet!
QUESTION-Hi Jay Jay, Do you know of a way to get a Fremont or strip room in Vegas April 14 to 17 for $100 a night including fees? I had a friend who was supposed to go with me but he is getting surgery. THANKS!
Try looking directly on the D website and Sahara… they may have cheaper rates
@@Jaycation THANKS, Its just bad timing. I got the D for April 9 to 14, my friend was supposed to get the rest but he got a hernia thats needs to get fixed, the rates are $200 a night now total. i may cancel the whole trip. Appreciate you getting back to me!
