From Transit.Wiki

Vdara Hotel & Spa, commonly known as Vdara, is a condo-hotel and spa located within the CityCenter complex across from Aria Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Vdara opened on December 1, 2009 as a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Infinity World Development.

Vdara's 57-story, 578-foot (176 m) tower houses 1,495 suites; an 18,000 sq ft (1,700 m2), two-story spa, salon and fitness center; a market and a bar. It also has a 40,000 sq ft (3,700 m2) pool and deck area. Vdara does not contain casino space and, along with Mandarin Oriental, is one of two non-gaming, non-smoking hotels within CityCenter. In 2011, Vdara received its first AAA Four Diamond Award. The "V" in Vdara stands for "Vegas" and "ara" is meant to evoke established high-end boutique hotels, such as the Aviara or Vicara.The Vdara was the first tower to open December 1, 2009. The Vdara was the first of the six high rises in the project to be topped out on May 14, 2008.

Vdara's opening on December 1, 2009 was followed by The Crystals, a retail shopping center; Mandarin Oriental and Aria Resort & Casino in the same month. Prior to its opening, Vdara was designated as a LEED Gold award building and received a five-key rating from the Green Key Eco-Rating Program
