Vdara Hotel & Spa
Non-casino, all-suite, walking access to ARIA and Bellagio, the bachelor party with a planner.
Non-casino, all-suite, walking access to ARIA and Bellagio, the bachelor party with a planner.
"The 2009 non-gaming Vdara in CityCenter, the working all-suite non-gaming MGM-aligned tower."
Why this rank, Vdara Hotel & Spa opened in December 2009 in the CityCenter complex on the central Strip, the working non-gaming sister property to ARIA and the Waldorf Astoria. 1,495 all-suite rooms (every Vdara accommodation is a studio suite or larger). The One-Bedroom Suite, the Two-Bedroom Suite, and the multi-bedroom Penthouse Suite are the property's signature accommodations. The property is non-gaming (no casino floor); the all-suite product combined with the working non-gaming positioning produces the working CityCenter non-gaming alternative to ARIA and the Waldorf Astoria. The dining roster runs the working all-day venue and the shared dining access to the broader ARIA-CityCenter roster (Carbone, Catch, Bardot Brasserie). The CityCenter position is alongside ARIA, Waldorf Astoria, and the Crystals retail centre; the Vdara is the working entry-level CityCenter non-gaming stay. The MGM Rewards points-earning suits the MGM-aligned traveller. Best for the central-Strip Vegas non-gaming all-suite stay at the working entry-level tier.
Best room: Vdara Penthouse Suite, 1,800 sq ft
"Non-casino, all-suite, walking access to ARIA and Bellagio, the bachelor party with a planner."
Vdara opened in 2009 as part of the CityCenter development and is the all-suite, non-casino complement to the ARIA and Waldorf Astoria towers in the same complex. One thousand four hundred and ninety-five suites, the smallest entry-level Studio Suite is 580 square feet (a kitchenette and a king bed), the Two-Bedroom Hospitality Suite (the bachelor flagship) is 1,400 square feet with two bedrooms and a separate sitting room. The asset is the geography and the cost, Vdara is connected by walkway to ARIA and the Aria-CityCenter Tram (which also stops at Bellagio and the Cosmopolitan), and the rates are 30-40% below ARIA for an equivalent suite. Vdara is the right pick for the bachelor weekend on a planned budget, the all-suite product with kitchenette saves the morning-coffee-and-room-service routine for ten people, the non-casino quiet base is the recovery infrastructure, and the walking-access to Bellagio (Hyde Lounge), ARIA (Jewel), and Cosmopolitan (Marquee) means the venue-club affiliation is solved by walking rather than by hotel choice.
Two-Bedroom Hospitality Suite (the bachelor flagship, 1,400 sqft, two bedrooms, separate sitting room) or Studio Suite for the entry-level all-suite product.
Use the kitchenette for the morning-coffee-and-pastries routine, the room service across ten suites is expensive at scale, the kitchenette solves it. The Vdara connectivity to ARIA and Bellagio means the venue-club affiliations work by walking; book the host-arranged tables at Bellagio's Hyde and ARIA's Jewel through the front desk.
Vdara Hotel & Spa sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Las Vegas for a Bachelor Party list. It scored an aggregate 9.5/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a bachelor party-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Las Vegas neighbourhood, see Center Strip, CityCenter and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.
Editorial · #18 on the Top 20 Hotels in Las Vegas 2026 list
Vdara Hotel & Spa's case for the Las Vegas stay is the working CityCenter non-gaming entry-level. The 2009 property in the CityCenter complex is non-gaming with no casino floor.
The 1,495 all-suite rooms (every Vdara accommodation is a studio suite or larger) include the One-Bedroom Suite, the Two-Bedroom Suite, and the multi-bedroom Penthouse Suite.
The all-suite product combined with the working non-gaming positioning produces the working CityCenter non-gaming alternative to ARIA and the Waldorf Astoria. The dining roster runs the working all-day venue (Market Cafe Vdara) and the shared dining access to the broader ARIA-CityCenter roster (Carbone, Catch, Bardot Brasserie). The CityCenter position is alongside ARIA, Waldorf Astoria, and the Crystals retail centre; the Vdara is the working entry-level CityCenter non-gaming stay. The MGM Rewards points-earning at the Vdara tier suits the MGM-aligned traveller. The structural difference from the Waldorf Astoria (also non-gaming, same CityCenter) is the lower entry rate combined with the larger all-suite scale. Best for the central-Strip Vegas non-gaming all-suite stay at the working entry-level tier.
