Rough Guide "A great standard of accommodation for the price."
Frommer's "We've grown very fond of this hotel, and we have to admit that it's gone to some efforts to make the ridiculous size work to its -- and, thus, your -- advantage." Full review
Fodor's "A regal, bronze rendering of the roaring MGM lion mascot fronts the four emerald-green, fortress-like towers of the MGM Grand, one of the largest hotels in the world." Full review
Insight Guides "A prime example of the ‘supersize’ Vegas mentality: a huge property at a great Strip location. Rooms in the West Wing are the best."
OysterUpscale
"The biggest hotel (by room count) in Las Vegas has the biggest casino in town, many of the best restaurants, an enormous and fun pool complex, and a huge range of on-site entertainment options." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Despite being one of the largest hotels in the world, the Grand maintains a relaxed ambience. It boasts a luxurious spa."
Star Service "This is one of the world's most exciting and energetic hotels, and also one of the largest." Full review
Gayot "When this hotel boasts about its superlative size, it's not kidding."
Lonely Planet "If you're looking to escape the hubbub on the Strip, these serene condominium oases may be just what you're looking for." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The MGM Grand, with its commanding location on the Vegas Strip marked by a 100,000-lb bronze lion statue, is a Las Vegas experience in itself." Full review

Rough Guide "Aimed especially at business travellers, this hip modern condohotel makes a peaceful retreat at the heart of CityCenter."
Frommer's "Although a part of CityCenter, Vdara seems to be a world away both physically and spiritually from the rest of the eye-popping visual splendor that makes up the complex." Full review
Fodor's "This boutique (read: low-key) property is actually a hotel-condo, with beautiful independently owned suites that are arranged like efficiency apartments." Full review
OysterLuxury
"It's a modern, sumptuous hotel with impressive rooms (they're all suites), a lobby bar, and a decent pool." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The interior was designed by Karim Rashid in florid gold and pink, and has a biomorphic pink settee breaking through the glass exterior wall, literally bridging inside and out." Full review
Star Service "The all-suite 57-story Vdara, in the City Center complex on The Strip, is in the eye of the hurricane, an all-suite, smoke-free, nongaming hotel offering a sense of refuge from the clang and clamor." Full review
BlackBook "The Vdara is one of City Center's non-gaming hotels, trading the tables for deluxe suites, jumbo conference rooms, and upscale shopping."
Zagat4.7
"“Spacious, modern” digs "blow you away" with “beautiful" views and “to-die-for” bathrooms (many also have kitchenettes) at this “superb”, “quiet” condo-style property."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Guest suites with open floor plans, custom-designed artwork and a smoothie bar in the spa are just a few of the details that set Vdara Hotel & Spa... apart from the rest of the Las Vegas Strip." Full review
Gayot "The Vdara Hotel & Spa features everything you need for a luxury experience in Las Vegas --- the ultimate escape mixed with the excitement of the Strip." Full review
