Overview
Vdara is the 57-story, Rafael Viñoly-designed crescent of glass between Aria and Bellagio at CityCenter. Opened in 2009, it operates as a non-gaming, smoke-free condo-hotel with roughly 1,495 suites, from studios up to two-bedroom suites and penthouses, most with kitchenettes and washer-dryers that make them livable in a way standard hotel rooms are not.
The key word is condo-hotel. Ownership at Vdara means owning a deeded suite that can go into the hotel’s rental program when you’re not using it — the building handles booking, housekeeping, and guest turnover. That structure changes the math: conventional financing is limited (many purchases are cash or specialty loans), HOA and program fees run higher than a standard condo, and the return profile behaves more like hospitality income than residential appreciation. For the right buyer, that’s exactly the point.
Vdara suits second-home owners who want a Strip suite that earns when empty, and hospitality-minded investors comfortable with condo-hotel economics. It is generally not the right fit for a primary residence — buildings like Veer next door serve that buyer better.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Owners and guests share a genuinely resort-grade amenity stack: the rooftop Vdara Pool & Lounge with cabanas, a full-service spa and salon, a two-story fitness center, 24-hour in-suite dining, concierge, and valet. The ground-floor market café covers coffee and quick meals, and Vdara’s unusually warm pet policy has made it a favorite among owners who travel with dogs.
Time in residence feels like living in a quiet luxury hotel — because it is one. No casino noise, no smoke, and a lobby that stays calm even in peak season.
Location & Nearby
Vdara’s address on Harmon Avenue puts it one covered walkway from Aria and a private pedestrian connection from Bellagio — you can reach two of the Strip’s best resorts, plus the Shops at Crystals, without crossing a street. The center-Strip position makes most of the Boulevard’s dining and entertainment walkable.
For drivers, Harmon Avenue offers a back-door route that skips Strip traffic, with Interstate 15 minutes away and Harry Reid International Airport roughly ten minutes by car.
