Vdara is a 57-story crescent-shaped hotel tower designed by Rafael Viñoly, within the CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip. MGM Resorts developed it, and Blackstone bought it in 2021, with MGM leasing it back to operate it. It was announced in October 2006, topped out in May 2008 and opened on December 2, 2009. The article names no style.
The glass exterior is concave, and a 2008 design flaw concentrates sunlight on the south pool deck. Management added umbrellas and non-reflective film. It has 1,495 suites, a 40,000-square-foot pool area and an 18,000-square-foot spa. It is a non-gaming, non-smoking property.
Nancy Rubin's Big Edge, about 200 boats held by stainless steel cable, is on view, and a large Frank Stella painting hangs above the lobby desk. It earned LEED Gold before opening.
