From an intimate drink to a thumping dance scene, Vegas nightlife always has a full range of options.

Vdara Hotel, expected to open December 1, is a crescent-shaped 57-story all-suite hotel and spa for non-gaming, non-smoking types. It has about 1,500 suites, ranging from approximately 500 to 1,650 square feet (along with residential units). Rooms have kitchens, plus open floor plans and horizontal windows for sweeping views of the city and mountains. Vdara Health & Beauty is an 18,000-square-foot, two-level spa, salon, and fitness center. Food and beverage options include the restaurant Silk Road and the lobby bar Bar Vdara.
