Just being nosey, what room do you normally choose at Vdara?

I think we've had a city corner, executive corner, Vdara suite, once we booked a deluxe suite with the intention of upgrading at check in and got a Vdara suite (for the washer dryer )

Would you recommend any? It's one of the places me and my partner are looking. We didn't want to pay the earth but also not end up in a box room ! lol Basically we want everything for zero money!

All rooms at Vdara are classed as suites, so even the entry level Deluxe suites are bigger than a number of rooms in other hotels.

Corner suites are about 2 more levels up, but are truly amazing, they're like little flats!

But it depends if you just want budget and a place to sleep and that's it. For us we like a comfortable room where we can spread out a bit and relax, without everything being in 4 smallish walls.

Has anyone had any joy contacting their hotel just after booking, We are going to Vegas for our honeymoon and it's been mentioned they might upgrade us or offer some extras?

Hi I hope you do get an upgrade and some freebies The problem with Vegas, is most people are celebrating, so don't be too disappointed if it's not possible.

Well I'm really happy to be back on this forum and loving the trip reports. I'm going back in July for 15 nights staying in a 1 bedroom penthouse suite in the Signature. It's another family trip, myself and my youngest 3 children, DD who will be 19, and DS's 17 and 8. I got our flights in the reward sale, so paid £1,530.00 for 3 adults and 1 child, as I had to buy points to top up my 2 older children's accounts, but paid just taxes for myself and my 8 year old. I've never been able to go anywhere as soon as the school holidays hit, we go 24th July, due to cost, so thank you Virgin

The Signature is coming in at around £1,700. I booked that with owners by signature direct.I did think that was quite pricey, but it is refundable, if i find it cheaper,although i doubt the actual signature website will be, as that includes resort fee and i suppose it was 3 years since we'd last been there.

Well now i just play Myvegas and keep planning, as there is so much we didn't do last time I really don't want to wish my life away, but roll on next july

doesnt hurt to contact them

I contacted the Wynn on facebook when stayed there for my 50th.
just after arrival they delivered a platter of hand made chocolates chocolates to my room, with a card, even the platter was made of chocolate, it was a nice touch

hi
like photome has said above, i had some contact but with the mgm via facebook.
its def worth a try, whom are you booking with?could you let them know and prehaps they can maybe do somethign for you also?
i guess contacting whatever hotel via facebook may work, also speaking to reception/check in may also help?

best of luck and enjoy your trip!!

Hi, I joined myvegas friends and follow jame hite,as he always has chips on his facebook page. I'll havea look at that site you mention :T I started playing last month and only have 34k in LP lol :rotfl: but i'm determined to be dripping in them come redemption time When do you go I'm not sure whether to do 15 nights purely Vegas or a bit of LA. We did this last time, but the thought of losing Vegas time and I don't even gamble :rotfl: is not a nice thought,lol.
