"If you want to feel like you're checking into a destination spa, Vdara may be the hotel that comes closest in Las Vegas. The lobby has soaring ceilings, and the whole hotel—although it's a glass high rise in ultra modern CityCenter—is built to maximize light and bring in natural materials. It's the only completely non-smoking AND non-gaming hotel in Las Vegas. The spa is one of the nicest in the city, plus never as crowded as, say, Qua in Caesars, or one of the other spas in large casino resorts—there's a meditation lounge, waterfall, wooden floors—definitely a go-to spot while you're here. While Vdara has slightly higher room rates than some comparably sized hotel rooms, and upgrade is worth a little extra money for all the extras you get: Studios have little kitchen areas so you're not always going in search of food, and if you're staying for a while, there's no reason to skip the laundry service you can access." - Andrea Bennett
