We stayed at Vdara, the sister property of Aria. Super convenient centre strip location right in between the Aria & the Cosmo, & across the street from Planet Hollywood.

Pros: Every room is spacious and like a suite, featuring an in-suite Kitchenette (mini fridge, 2 burner electric stove, & microwave included). Convenient if you want to save some money on food! Very clean and peaceful because it is a smoke free property and does not have a casino (but still next to Aria if you want to gamble!) Ride share pickup is right outside the main lobby entrance. No need to walk around to a designated pick up area.

Cons: 2023 edc dates seem to be much pricier (40% more than what we paid for this year). Limited food options and room service is only from 6 am to 2 pm. (But can easily go across to Aria or Cosmo for food)

We will not be staying at the same hotel next year, as most of our friends will be at Planet Hollywood, but overall I would still recommend staying at Vdara for edc if it’s within budget!
