Disclaimer: All of the images below were shamelessly snurched from Steve Friess' blog. If you want to see them in higher resolution and read his entertaining critique, I heartily urge that you pay a visit to Vegas Happens Here.
A 582-square-foot "suite" at Vdara.
Austerity kick: an 809-square-foot suite. Unfortunately, the "subliminable" advertising isn't discernible at this resolution.
Vdara Penthouse Suites come in two sizes, this one encompassing 948 square feet. While high roller at Wynn Las Vegas and Caesars Palace have been so overfurnished they feel enervating, Vdara is going a bit too far toward monasticism, don't you think?
Here's the plus-sized (1,316 square feet) Penthouse Suite, not quite so monkish.
Toward the smaller end of the room spectrum is the 836-square-foot Panoramic Suite. It doesn't stint on the view although, as Friess points out, certain other amenities are AWOL.
A standard room at Aria. How much would you pay for this midweek? One might say that's the $229 Question.
Aria's version of MGM Grand's Sky Lofts (currently the standard-setter for high-roller living). Judging from the furniture, I have an uneasy feeling that somebody has decided the Eighties are "in" again.
Postscript: It's a cold day in Hell when I find myself in full agreement with GOP Assemblyman Tyrus Cobb, but his comments about the impending room-tax hike -- as cited by Friess -- are spot-on. Be sure to read the burgeoning reader-comments thread, too, as it provides an excellent sense of how this will play in Peoria (i.e., not well).
