LAS VEGAS, NV - May 5, 2010 - Leading destination club Exclusive Resorts today announced the opening of 10 new residences for members at Vdara Hotel & Spa at CityCenter on the Las Vegas Strip. The residences are the newest addition to the $1 billion Exclusive Resorts residence portfolio, which provides members with unmatched travel variety through hundreds of luxury residences in dozens of the world's top resort destinations.
Vdara offers a residential luxury hotel experience unique in Las Vegas, and Exclusive Resorts' 10 new residences are among the very best within the property. All are corner units, located high in the building, custom-designed and furnished to suit club member tastes. Each two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath residence features an open floor plan, fully equipped kitchen, and spa-style bathrooms, wrapped by windows showcasing city and mountain views. Members will enjoy personal touches such as round-the-clock concierge service, gourmet in-room dining, and preferred reservations at the hottest MGM MIRAGE restaurants and shows in town.
“We continue to actively manage our residence portfolio to give our members exceptional variety in the vacations they take with us,” said Jeff Potter, Chief Executive Officer of Exclusive Resorts. “Vdara is the ideal place for our members to experience Las Vegas. A residential oasis with all the services of a world-class luxury hotel, it brings together innovative design, unsurpassed amenities, and the vast expertise of MGM MIRAGE in an incomparable location just an elevator ride away from all the best the city has to offer.”
Designed by famed architect Rafael Violy, Vdara soars 57 stories high above The Strip and features a luxurious two-floor wellness spa and fitness facility, expansive pool area with private cabanas, and easy access to the many attractions of CityCenter. Members can experience unrivaled shopping and dining in the Crystals retail and entertainment district, the best gaming in town at the new ARIA Resort & Casino, and the spectacular new Cirque du Soleil production “Viva Elvis.” They will also enjoy signing privileges at all Las Vegas MGM MIRAGE properties including The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand and the world-renowned Bellagio, which is only minutes away by indoor walkway.
“Exclusive Resorts is known for buying only the very best luxury residential real estate in the world, and these 10 new residences are no exception,” said Tony Dennis, CityCenter Residential Division Executive Vice President. “This confirms that Vdara is the best choice for discerning luxury clients who want to experience all the energy and excitement of Las Vegas, but stay in an exclusive, non-gaming sanctuary in the heart of The Strip.
