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

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

Rough Guide "Although it’s still considered among the hippest casinos in town... The Palms is in many respects just a presentable but rather dull locals’ casino."
Concierge "To enjoy the Palms, you must be a fan of "the scene." If you're not, you will despise this property."
Fodor's "Rooms at the Palms are large, opulent, and modern, with some unusual amenities for Las Vegas, such as beds with ultra-firm mattresses, duvets, and ample minibars." Full review

For a tamer Palms experience, ask for a room at Palms Place, which has a private pool and separate restaurant.
Lonely Planet "Playpen suites are tailored for bachelor and bachelorette parties, or escape to the high-rise Palms Place."
i
Request an upper floor to score a Strip view.
DK Eyewitness "Palms’ 40-story Fantasy Tower has stunning views of Las Vegas. Its Playboy Club is also a big draw."
Star Service "The modern styling in the large casino, hardwood floors instead of carpeting, and exposed duct work in lieu of chandeliers make a fitting backdrop to the latest in casino technology." Full review
i
Request rooms above the seventh floor to avoid nightclub noise.
Gayot "The creator of and brains behind this resort, the impeccable George Maloof, wanted a hip place near the Strip, for every type of play and every style of player."
BlackBook "This flashy, Miami-style casino outpost for the twentysomething generation has been the backdrop of numerous reality shows ranging from MTV's Real World to The Surreal Life and Inked."
Zagat4.2
"This "beautiful" high-rise all-suiter caters to a young, hip crowd with "beautiful", "spacious" accommodations featuring hardwood and marble floors."
The Telegraph8.0
"Follow all the party people to this slick, high-rise casino resort with scintillating nightlife and a hot summer pool scene." Full review
