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

"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."

Time Out
"This billion-dollar operation pays homage to the classic resort architecture of the early 1950s and '60s as well as the natural landscape that surrounds it." Full review
Star Service
"This hotel has the kind of off-center appeal that makes Lake Las Vegas' resorts so popular, though Red Rock focuses on a younger, livelier demographic." Full review
Gayot
"Billed as both a retreat and a center of entertainment, this exciting resort located in Summerlin, Nevada (just ten miles west of the Las Vegas Strip) opened to rave reviews in 2006."
BlackBook
"The Red Rock Mountains offer a surprisingly different backdrop for Las Vegas hospitality than the high-rise complexes of the Strip."
