KEY TAKEAWAYS

What Should You Know About Vdara Residences at a Glance?

Vdara Residences is a 1,495-unit non-gaming, non-smoking condo-hotel at CityCenter between Bellagio and ARIA (ZIP 89158), with suites priced $400K–$1.2M, an active-listing median of $700,000, and 58 median days on market per Las Vegas REALTORS. Las Vegas city demographics per the U.S. Census anchor the context; the takeaways below unpack what makes the building unique.

  • Non-gaming, non-smoking: the only condo-hotel on the Strip without a casino floor — no gaming noise, no cigarette-smoke infiltration from below.
  • The location: inside CityCenter between Bellagio and ARIA — ARIA's restaurants and The Shops at Crystals are minutes on foot.
  • Best for: buyers wanting a pied-à-terre or primary Strip residence with rental-program income potential and full hotel amenities, no resort fee.
  • Condo-hotel structure: financing requires lender building approval; plan 20–30% down and verify rental-program eligibility early in due diligence.
  • Do your homework: HOA dues ($400–$1,200/mo), rental-program terms, and condo-hotel warrantability all deserve investigation before you write.

SAFETY & CRIME

Is Vdara Residences Safe?

Direct Answer

Yes — by controlled-access design. Vdara operates with 24-hour front-desk staffing, card-access elevators, valet-only vehicle entry, and hotel-grade security monitoring. No public casino floor below generates unfiltered foot traffic into the residential areas — every arrival is verified. Benchmark the Strip corridor through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data for area context.

  • Front-desk staffing and controlled accessHotel-grade security protocols
  • Valet-only vehicle entry — no self-park exposureCommunity plan record
  • No gaming floor below — no unfiltered street trafficVdara non-gaming policy
  • City of Las Vegas Metro Police jurisdictionStrip corridor coverage

What Buyers Should Know

The structural security advantage at Vdara is what the building lacks: no casino floor. Every Strip casino-hotel that mixes gaming and residential creates a vector for public foot traffic that flows through common areas at all hours. Vdara eliminated that vector by design — and the result is a building where the people in the hallways are owners, guests of owners, or hotel-vetted service staff.

Card-access elevator lobbies and valet-only entry mean visitors cannot wander the residential floors without a key card or escort. Front-desk staffing runs 24 hours and mirrors the security standard of the hotel properties Vdara shares a campus with. The surrounding Strip corridor carries higher ambient crime rates than suburban Las Vegas — benchmark through FBI UCR data before writing.

For buyers comparing Vdara to Strip casino-hotel residences, the practical security picture — no gaming floor, no slot machines at the base of your elevator, no 3 a.m. lobby foot traffic from the casino — is the single most meaningful safety distinction available in Strip-adjacent high-rise living.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD

How Does Vdara Residences Score?

Vdara earns top marks for location and amenities, with honest trade-offs on schools (downtown-zone CCSD campuses) and financing complexity (condo-hotel warrantability). Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every Strip high-rise buyer before a first tour.

  • Grade A: Safety

    Controlled lobby access, 24-hour front-desk staffing, valet-only vehicle entry, and hotel-grade security monitoring — no public casino floor to attract unfiltered foot traffic.

  • Grade C+: Schools

    Downtown-zone CCSD campuses rate 5–6/10 per GreatSchools; most owner-residents send children to private schools (Bishop Gorman, The Meadows) 15–20 minutes away.

  • Grade B: Cost of Living

    Suite entry near $400K with $400–$1,200 monthly HOA is accessible for the Strip — but financing complexity and condo-hotel due diligence add a cost layer buyers must budget.

  • Grade A: Amenities

    Pool deck, spa, fitness, valet, concierge — full hotel-service stack with no resort fee for owners. The Shops at Crystals and ARIA dining on foot.

  • Grade B: Outdoor Access

    The Park Las Vegas green space is minutes away; Sunset Park is about 15 minutes by car; Red Rock Canyon is 30 minutes west for trail access.

  • Grade A: Commute

    Strip at the door, airport 15 minutes out, Downtown 10 minutes — the single best-located residential tower in Las Vegas for proximity to everything.

Quick Answer

Is Vdara Residences a good place to live?

Yes — for the right buyer. Vdara pairs the Strip's only non-gaming, non-smoking condo-hotel address with full hotel amenities (pool, spa, valet, concierge) at no resort fee to owners, and a rental program that generates income when you're not in residence. The honest trade-offs are financing complexity (plan 20–30% down, confirm lender building approval early), downtown-zone CCSD schools (most owners use private alternatives), and HOA dues of $400–$1,200 monthly. For buyers who value location, clean air, and hotel-grade service at a Strip address, few buildings compete.

DEMOGRAPHICS

Who Lives in Vdara Residences?

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, the parent Las Vegas city holds 656,274 residents at a $66,820 median household income. At the building level, community records show roughly 2,990 residents across 1,495 units, a median age near 38, and average household income above $85,000; investor-held units reduce the owner-occupied share to roughly 45%.

The Census does not tabulate the building separately from the city, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within Vdara, our closing data shows a mix of investors using the rental program, remote professionals treating the suite as a primary residence, and Las Vegas locals choosing the Strip address for the amenity stack and the non-smoking environment.

POPULATION & GROWTH

How Fast Is the Vdara Residences Area Growing?

The CityCenter campus and Strip corridor are finished in the traditional sense — the land is built out — but ownership demand at Vdara grows with the Las Vegas metro. The parent city has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the Strip remains the single strongest demand engine for short-term rental income anywhere in the Southwest.

1,495Vdara units (built out)
~700,000Las Vegas projected, 2030

Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)

Inside the building, the unit count is fixed at 1,495 — CityCenter's footprint and the Strip's regulatory environment mean no additional supply can be added. Growing metro population and tourism volume (Las Vegas hosted 40+ million visitors annually before 2020) support long-run rental demand for owner-investors who participate in the building's managed program.

Market Competitiveness

How competitive is the Vdara Residences market right now?

Financing complexity (lender building approval, 20–30% down) further narrows the competitive buyer pool — cash offers move faster and face less competition than they would in a traditional condominium.

Pros

  • Non-gaming, non-smoking — the only condo-hotel on the Strip without a casino floor
  • No resort fee for owners; pool, spa, fitness, and concierge covered by HOA
  • Rental-program income potential through the MGM-managed condo-hotel structure
  • CityCenter address between Bellagio and ARIA — walkable to world-class dining and entertainment

  • Harry Reid Airport 15 minutes out — fastest airport run of any Strip residential building

Honest Considerations

  • Financing complexity: condo-hotel warrantability requires lender building approval; plan 20–30% down
  • Rental-program terms can change with hotel-management transitions — never underwrite income as guaranteed
  • Downtown-zone CCSD schools rate 5–6/10; private-school commute is 15–20 minutes
  • HOA dues of $400–$1,200 monthly are real carrying costs — price total cost of ownership, not just purchase price
  • Strip-corridor ambient noise and activity levels are higher than suburban communities
  • Extreme summer heat — 108°F+ stretches June through September, though the building is fully air-conditioned

WHY VDARA RESIDENCES

Why Does Vdara Residences Stand Apart From Its Peers?

From the non-gaming lobby to the no-resort-fee ownership structure, Vdara occupies a niche no other Strip building fills. The five advantages below are each tied to a verifiable source — the Nevada Revised Statutes, Clark County Assessor figures, Census data, and the community plan record — so you can check every claim.

  1. Non-gaming, non-smoking — the only one on the Strip

    No casino floor below, no cigarette smoke in common areas — a separation from gaming-hotel noise and air quality that no HVAC upgrade can replicate in a mixed-use tower.

    Community plan record
  2. No resort fee for owners

    Guests pay a resort fee at every neighboring hotel; Vdara owners access pool, spa, fitness, and concierge through their HOA — not an add-on charge.

    Community plan record
  3. Rental-program income potential

    The condo-hotel structure lets owners place their suite back into hotel inventory when not in residence and earn a share of nightly revenue.

    Community plan record
  4. Tax-capped carrying costs

    Nevada's 3% primary-residence cap under NRS 361.471 plus zero state income tax keep long-run ownership costs predictable.

    Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471
  5. CityCenter address — Bellagio and ARIA on foot

WHY BUY AT VDARA RESIDENCES

What Are the Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Suite at Vdara Residences?

Vdara's case rests on Strip location, non-gaming quiet, and rental-program income — property taxes capped at 3% annual growth under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471, zero state income tax, and a position between Bellagio and ARIA on the world's most-visited entertainment corridor. Ten sourced reasons follow.

  1. Non-gaming, non-smoking — unique on the Strip

    The only condo-hotel on the Strip without a casino floor — clean air and quiet the surrounding towers cannot match.

  7. 1,495-unit liquidity

    Larger inventory than boutique towers means plentiful comparables and a broader buyer pool at resale.

    Community plan record

  8. Airport proximity

    Harry Reid International is about 15 minutes — the shortest airport run of any major Strip residential building.

  10. Pied-à-terre value

    A Strip address for visits, with the rental program generating income between your stays — hard to replicate anywhere else in the U.S. at this price point.

Quick Answer

What are HOA fees at Vdara Residences?

Monthly HOA dues run $400 to $1,200 depending on unit size, per the community plan record. Fees cover building maintenance, common-area insurance, water, trash, pool, spa, fitness center, secured parking, and front-desk staffing. Owners access all amenities without a resort fee — the key cost advantage over being a paying guest. Request the full resale package — current dues, reserve study, and any special-assessment history — early in Nevada escrow so there are no surprises at closing.

Moving to Vdara Residences

Should I Move to Vdara Residences?

Every month, households from Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Bay Area discover that Strip-adjacent luxury living priced out of reach in California is attainable at Vdara. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero, and that single line item funds most relocations.

Why California Buyers Are Choosing Vdara Residences

The tax math is straightforward: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Vdara adds what coastal luxury towers can't answer at the price: an effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.7% with a 3% annual cap for primary residences, a non-gaming, non-smoking building with no casino-floor ventilation, and a Strip address where ARIA and Bellagio are minutes on foot.

At a $700,000 budget, Westside Los Angeles buyers are looking at a dated mid-century condo on a small lot far from the action. That same budget at Vdara secures a contemporary suite in a full-service condo-hotel tower — pool, spa, valet, concierge — with the Strip literally at the front door and no state income tax cutting into the lifestyle.

According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the active-listing median for Vdara suites runs approximately $700,000 with a median days on market of 58. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data lets you benchmark area safety, and the City of Las Vegas manages planning and permitting for the ZIP 89158 corridor.

Vdara runs on a tourism-and-hospitality economy at its door and a professional economy for its owners. The Las Vegas metro labor market is historically strong according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and CityCenter sits at the center of the Strip's resort-employment corridor. For buyers who work remotely or run their own business, the Strip address and airport proximity — Harry Reid International is 15 minutes away — make Vdara a credible primary residence or pied-à-terre.

Cost of Living Snapshot — Vdara Residences vs. Los Angeles

Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The category that flips hardest is the one that matters here: Strip-adjacent luxury living that starts under $500,000 at Vdara starts in the multiple millions behind comparable Westside luxury doors.

Vdara Residences Rental Market — Rent vs. Own

Vdara's condo-hotel structure means owners can participate in the MGM-managed rental program, placing suites back into hotel inventory when not in residence and earning a share of nightly revenue. This is the key income lever that distinguishes Vdara from traditional condominiums. Short-term rental income is not guaranteed and program terms can change — underwrite conservatively, confirm current eligibility for your specific unit, and treat rental income as a bonus rather than a floor for ownership math.

RELOCATION TIMELINE

How to relocate to Vdara Residences in 8 steps

From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Vdara buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.

  1. Pick your floor tier and budget

    Decide which Vdara you are buying: entry studio ($400K+), mid-floor suite ($500K–$700K), upper-floor premium ($700K–$900K), or top-floor panoramic ($900K–$1.2M+). Each tier carries different views, rental-program income potential, and HOA ranges.

  2. Confirm financing — condo-hotel approval is non-trivial

    Not all lenders approve condo-hotel buildings. Plan 20–30% down and have your lender confirm Vdara's current project-approval status before entering into contract. Cash buyers skip this step and move faster.

  3. Hire a Vdara specialist

    Strip high-rise and condo-hotel transactions have nuances — rental-program eligibility, building warrantability, HOA reserve health — that generic residential agents miss. Work with an agent who has closed Vdara or comparable Strip tower transactions.

  4. Tour in person or virtually

    Building access requires advance coordination through the front desk. Virtual tours work well for out-of-state buyers; floor and view confirmation is important enough to warrant an in-person visit before writing.

  5. Write and negotiate the offer

    Cash is common and moves fastest. Financed buyers compete with clean terms, verified lender building approval, and pre-approvals in hand before the first showing.

  6. HOA docs, rental program, and due diligence

    Order the resale package early: dues, reserve study, assessment history. Confirm your unit's rental-program eligibility and current terms with the HOA — this step cannot happen at the last minute.

  7. Clear conditions and fund

    Nevada closes through escrow companies; expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. Condo-hotel project review and HOA questionnaire add time to financed purchases — start early.

  8. Close, move, and register

    Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Las Vegas Valley Water District), register building access with the front desk and parking, then handle the DMV — license within 30 days, vehicle registration within 60.

ECONOMY & JOBS

What Drives the Vdara Residences Economy?

Vdara runs on the Strip tourism engine and the Las Vegas metro professional economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and the resort corridor surrounding Vdara — ARIA, Bellagio, MGM Grand — employs tens of thousands and drives the rental demand that makes condo-hotel income viable.

COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION

How Easy Is Getting Around From Vdara Residences?

Location is Vdara's superpower: CityCenter sits at the center of the Strip corridor with direct pedestrian connections to adjacent properties. Harry Reid International Airport is about 15 minutes by car. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Vdara-area destinations beat that by a wide margin.

Transportation Options

  • Driving

    Valet-only entry is the default for residents — no self-park exposure. I-15 is minutes away, and the Strip arterial grid connects all directions quickly outside peak traffic hours.

  • Walking (Strip)

    CityCenter's elevated pedestrian system connects Vdara to ARIA, Bellagio, The Shops at Crystals, T-Mobile Arena, and the Cosmopolitan without touching the street — the strongest pedestrian network of any residential building in Las Vegas.

  • Rideshare

    Fast and reliable — airport runs cost roughly $15–$25 from CityCenter, and Strip destinations are walking distance or a short rideshare. The building's valet staff coordinates pickup drop-off efficiently.

  • RTC Transit

    The Deuce and SDX bus routes run Las Vegas Blvd, steps from CityCenter. Residents should not plan a car-free life for all destinations, but Strip and downtown errands are genuinely walkable or transit-accessible.

Quick Answer

How long does it take to close on a Vdara suite?

Most Vdara purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company; cash offers can close in 10–14. Financed purchases add time for condo-hotel project approval and the statutory HOA resale-package review period — budget an extra week. The rental-program enrollment, if applicable, runs concurrently with escrow and should not delay your close date if started early.

Quick Answer

What down payment do you need to buy at Vdara Residences?

Most Vdara buyers plan for 20–30% down because condo-hotel buildings require individual lender approval and conventional programs are not universally available. On a $700,000 suite that means $140,000 to $210,000 at closing, not counting reserves some lenders require. Cash buyers — common at this tier — skip the approval step entirely. Have your lender confirm Vdara's current project warrantability before structuring your offer around a specific program.

Vdara Residences FAQ — 18 Answers

What Do Vdara Residences Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the price range for units at Vdara Residences?

Vdara Residences prices run from roughly $400,000 for lower-floor studios to $1.2 million-plus for upper-floor one-bedrooms with panoramic Strip views, per the community plan record. The active-listing median is around $700,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, with about 58 days to sell. Floor, view orientation, and finishes drive the spread.

Is Vdara a condo-hotel or a traditional condominium?

Vdara Residences operates as a condo-hotel, meaning individual suites are privately owned but the building runs on full hotel management — concierge, valet, housekeeping services, and a rental program that lets owners participate in the hotel income stream. This structure differs from a traditional condo in ways that matter for financing, insurance, and leasability. Confirm your unit's rental-program eligibility and building warrantability with your lender before relying on low-down or income-forward underwriting.

What makes Vdara a non-smoking building?

Vdara Residences is the only hotel and residential tower in CityCenter — and one of very few on the entire Strip corridor — with a strict, property-wide non-smoking policy. No casino, no cigarette smoke in common areas, no smoke infiltration from gaming floors below, because there are no gaming floors. For buyers prioritizing air quality, that separation from casino ventilation is a hard amenity that no amount of HVAC engineering can replicate in a mixed casino-hotel building.

What are HOA fees at Vdara Residences?

Monthly HOA dues run $400 to $1,200 depending on unit size, per the community plan record. Fees cover building maintenance, common-area insurance, water, trash, pool, spa, fitness, secured parking, and front-desk staffing. Owners participate in hotel amenities without paying a resort fee — that's the structural advantage over renting. Request the full resale package — dues, reserves, and any special assessments — early in the Nevada escrow before you commit.

Can I rent out my Vdara suite?

Rental eligibility depends on the condo-hotel governing documents and the MGM rental-program terms in effect for your specific unit. Some suites participate in the managed rental program, which places the unit back into hotel inventory when the owner is not in residence; others may have restrictions. Never structure a Vdara purchase around rental income before confirming the current program terms with the HOA and your agent — condo-hotel rental rules can change, and the building's financing type affects what programs are available.

What amenities does Vdara Residences offer?

Vdara's amenity stack includes a pool deck with cabana service, full-service spa, fitness center, valet parking, 24-hour concierge, and controlled building access. Owners carry no resort fee — an expense that guests pay at most Strip hotel-condos. The CityCenter campus extends the amenity map dramatically: ARIA, Bellagio, and the Shops at Crystals are minutes on foot, putting world-class dining, nightlife, and retail effectively within the building's address.

What property taxes apply at Vdara Residences?

Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs approximately 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $700,000 Vdara suite, that means roughly $3,500–$4,900 per year — a fraction of what a comparable luxury unit carries in California at the 1.2%+ effective rate. Zero state income tax amplifies the advantage for buyers relocating from high-tax states.

Where exactly is Vdara within CityCenter?

Vdara occupies a six-acre footprint in the heart of CityCenter on the Las Vegas Strip (ZIP 89158), positioned between Bellagio to the north and ARIA Resort to the south. The building is car-free from the Strip — valet and pedestrian connections to CityCenter's elevated walkway system handle arrivals. Harry Reid International Airport is about 15 minutes via local roads, Downtown Las Vegas about ten minutes, and Summerlin about 25 minutes via I-15 and Summerlin Parkway.

What schools serve Vdara Residences?

Vdara falls within the Clark County School District zone for John C. Fremont Elementary (6/10), Fremont Middle School (5/10), and Clark High School (6/10) per GreatSchools — zoned scores that reflect the downtown campus rather than the community. Most full-time Vdara owner-residents send children to private schools: Bishop Gorman High School (A+) and The Meadows School (A+) are the top choices, reachable in 15–20 minutes. Verify zoning for any specific unit before placing school access at the top of your criteria list.

Is Vdara Residences a good investment?

Vdara suits buyers who want Strip-corridor scarcity combined with non-gaming, non-smoking residential living. The 1,495-unit building is large enough to maintain resale liquidity — plentiful comparables and a deep buyer pool relative to boutique towers — but the condo-hotel structure demands financing diligence. Long-hold scarcity works in the owner's favor; underwrite rental income conservatively since program terms can shift with hotel-management transitions. Call (702) 637-1759 before writing an income-forward offer.

What are Nevada's tax advantages for Vdara buyers?

Nevada levies zero personal state income tax per the Nevada Department of Taxation — a household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 per year versus California's 13.3% top rate per the California Franchise Tax Board. The state caps annual property-tax increases on a primary residence at 3% under NRS 361.471. Combined with no inheritance or estate tax at the state level, Nevada's tax structure is one of the strongest relocation arguments for Strip-corridor buyers from California.

How does Vdara compare to other Strip high-rises like The Signature at MGM Grand and Turnberry Place?

Vdara wins on the non-smoking separation and no-casino-floor quiet that The Signature at MGM Grand cannot match given its adjacency to the gaming floor. Turnberry Place offers a purely residential guard-gated enclave about two miles off-Strip with larger units. Vdara's edge is its on-Strip address and the CityCenter campus — Bellagio and ARIA within walking distance — while Turnberry's edge is suburban quiet and homeowner-weighted governance. Buyers cross-shopping these three usually decide on noise tolerance and commute-to-Strip preference.

Is Vdara Residences safe?

Vdara operates with controlled lobby access, 24-hour front-desk staffing, valet-only vehicle entry, and security consistent with a full-service hotel. The building itself carries the security infrastructure of a five-star hotel property — card-access elevators, monitored common areas, and no public casino floor that draws unfiltered street traffic. The surrounding Strip corridor should be benchmarked through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data; confirm the building's specific security protocols during due diligence.

What financing options work for Vdara Residences?

Condo-hotel buildings require lender-specific building approval and warrantability review before conventional or jumbo financing proceeds. Not all lenders approve condo-hotel projects, and those that do typically require 20–30% down plus reserves; FHA and VA financing generally does not apply to non-warrantable condo-hotels. Cash buyers sidestep these hurdles entirely — cash is common at the Strip high-rise tier. Have your lender confirm Vdara's current project-approval status before entering into contract.

What should I know before buying at Vdara Residences?

Four items move real money at Vdara. First, financing: confirm lender building approval early — condo-hotel warrantability is non-trivial. Second, rental program: read the current terms before modeling income. Third, HOA dues: $400–$1,200 monthly scales by unit; price total carrying cost, not just the purchase price. Fourth, view premium: Strip, mountain, and pool-deck views command materially different prices — verify your floor and orientation before you write. Call (702) 637-1759 and we pull current comps within 24 hours.

What down payment do you need to buy at Vdara Residences?

Most Vdara buyers plan for 20–30% down because condo-hotel buildings require individual lender approval and conventional programs are not universally available. On a $700,000 suite that means $140,000 to $210,000 at closing, not counting reserves some lenders require. Cash buyers — common at this tier — skip the approval step entirely. Have your lender confirm Vdara's current project warrantability before structuring your offer around a specific program.

How long does it take to close on a Vdara suite?

Most Vdara purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company; cash offers can close in 10–14. Financed purchases add time for condo-hotel project approval and HOA document review — budget an extra week per the Nevada statutory resale-package review period. The rental-program enrollment process, if applicable, runs concurrently with escrow and should not delay your close date if started early.

We track active and off-market Vdara listings, know the building's rental-program terms, and can coordinate virtual tours for out-of-state buyers.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK

What Else Do People Ask About Vdara Residences?

These are the eight queries Vdara buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered in two or three sentences with specifics you can verify: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, tax law from the Nevada Revised Statutes, and building facts from the community plan record.

Is Vdara a good place to live permanently?

Yes for the right buyer — remote professionals, pied-à-terre buyers, and investors with the rental program. The non-gaming, non-smoking environment, full hotel-service amenities, and no resort fee for owners make it a credible primary residence; the downtown-zone CCSD schools and financing complexity are the honest trade-offs.

What is the difference between Vdara and ARIA?

ARIA is a gaming resort hotel with residences mixed into the hotel tower; Vdara is a standalone non-gaming, non-smoking condo-hotel where there is no casino floor below the residential suites. Owners at Vdara get a quieter, smoke-free environment while walking to ARIA's restaurants — they get the proximity without being inside the gaming property.

Can I use Vdara as an Airbnb?

Vdara operates a managed rental program through MGM Resorts, not an open short-term rental market — placing your unit on external platforms like Airbnb may violate the CC&Rs or HOA terms. Confirm the current program rules with the HOA and your agent before structuring any income strategy around the building.

Does Vdara have a casino?

No — Vdara is deliberately non-gaming, one of a very small number of properties on the Las Vegas Strip with no casino floor. It is positioned between two casino properties (Bellagio to the north, ARIA to the south) but does not operate gaming of any kind within the building.

Is Vdara LEED certified?

Yes — Vdara Residences received LEED Gold certification when it opened in 2009 as part of the broader CityCenter development, which was at the time one of the largest privately funded LEED projects in the U.S. The certification reflects energy efficiency, water conservation, and materials standards built into the tower at construction.

How much are Vdara condo fees?

HOA dues run $400 to $1,200 per month depending on unit size, covering building maintenance, common-area insurance, water, trash, pool, spa, fitness, and front-desk staffing. Owners pay no resort fee — the dues replace what hotel guests pay as a daily add-on charge.

Is Vdara owned by MGM?

MGM Resorts International developed Vdara as part of CityCenter and manages the hotel-services layer, but individual suites are privately owned by individual buyers. The condo-hotel structure means MGM manages the building operations while owners hold title to their specific units and can participate in the rental program or use them as primary or secondary residences.

How far is Vdara from the Las Vegas airport?

Harry Reid International Airport is about 15 minutes from Vdara by car via local roads — the fastest airport run of any Strip residential building, given CityCenter's position midway down the Strip corridor. Rideshare from the building typically runs $15–$25 for an airport drop.
