The cons of Vdara are (a) its distance from The Strip, (b) restricted view of the Strip from the rooms, (c) long lines at the cafe in the morning (that's the only place to have breakfast at Vdara), (d) small pool that is always crowded when the sun is out, and (e) long lines at the Conceirge (who are courteous and helpful but only a maximum of two staff at any one time).
