A Walk Through Vdara Hotel & Spa
Vdara is an internationally inspired all-suite hotel and spa designed for those who love the excitement of Las Vegas but prefer to enjoy it in an exclusive, non-gaming, smoke-free and sustainable environment. Tucked between ARIA Resort & Casino and Bellagio, the chic hideaway offers access to all of the entertainment, gaming, shopping, dining and nightlife in Las Vegas, while also providing a retreat from it all.
Arrival From Harmon Avenue, guests are afforded stunning views of Vdara’s shimmering silhouette. Designed by RV Architecture, LLC, led by Rafael Viñoly, Vdara’s distinctive shape and unique skin of patterned glass creates one of the most striking design statements in the city. Viñoly’s overlapping crescent design resonates with the lines established by Harmon Circle and creates a harmonious dialogue with ARIA Resort & Casino. As guests approach Vdara’s porte cochere, they are welcomed by a large-scale art installation, “Big Edge” by Nancy Rubins, a 75-foot sculpture of small water vessels that make up a wild bouquet of color and shape. Just outside the hotel’s main entrance, the outdoor garden oasis of Bar Vdara intrigues guests with its vibrant colors and reflecting pool. Surrounded by foliage, the space offers a sense of seclusion while delivering dramatic views of ARIA.
Lobby Once inside, guests are surrounded by Vdara’s intimacy and warmth. Rich wood finishes accentuate colors of the desert landscape. Clean, open spaces and linear accents evoke a modern yet sexy vibe, complemented by the natural light that flows in through floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows. Above the registration desk hangs the 30-foot-long horizontal Frank Stella painting, “Damascus Gate Variation I,” which draws immediate attention with its vibrant shades of blue, red, orange and yellow. Due to Vdara’s boutique size, nearly all of its spectacular amenities are just steps from the main entrance. Guests have immediate access to its meeting and social event space; registration desk; concierge lobby; and its casual eatery and marketplace, Market Café Vdara. At the heart of the lobby experience, VICE VERSA Patio & Lounge radiates energy and sophistication. Within Vdara’s concierge lobby, Peter Wegner displays two soaring lunar- and solar-themed works of art on opposite walls entitled, “Day for Night, Night for Day.” Three stories above, an open wooden walkway offers a new vantage point of the artwork, as guests peer down into the lobby. On the second level of the hotel, guests can enjoy ESPA at Vdara, Salon Vdara and Pool & Lounge Vdara.

VICE VERSA PATIO & LOUNGE An intoxicating twist to the Las Vegas social scene, VICE VERSA Patio & Lounge offers an intimate indoor or outdoor patio setting along with cocktails and small plates. Dual options such as classic or twisted cocktails and refreshingly light or indulgent bites were carefully crafted to offer the best of both worlds. Hearty pub fare and intriguing libation variations on the VICE menu are juxtaposed with lighter cuisine and classic beverages on the VERSA menu.
