Vdara’s age and kids policy explained
Vdara Hotel & Spa is an all-ages, all-suite hotel: children of any age are welcome to stay when accompanied by an adult. However, the minimum age to check in and hold a reservation is 21, and some facilities (the spa) are restricted to guests 18 and older while the pool requires adult supervision for younger swimmers.

Are children welcome?
Yes — Vdara welcomes children of all ages when they are traveling with an adult who meets the 21+ check-in requirement. The property is all-suite, which can make family stays more comfortable because suites include separate living areas and sofa beds in many types.
If you need specific bedding or an extra bed, request it when you book or contact the hotel ahead of arrival to confirm availability and any fees or limits.
- Children allowed but room must be checked in by a 21+ guest
- Many suites offer a Queen Sofa Bed in addition to the King Bed

Pool rules and supervision
Vdara has a single seasonal rooftop pool that is heated and open roughly from early April through late October. During the season the pool typically operates daily around 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, though exact hours can vary.
Children are permitted in the pool, but younger guests must be supervised by an adult. Outside food and beverages are not allowed in the pool area; seasonal cabanas can be rented and certain cabana types include a private plunge pool.

Which suites work best for families?
Vdara is all-suite, so most options provide extra living space and a Queen Sofa Bed in addition to the King Bed in many suite types. Exact bedding varies by room type — see the specific room name and bedding configuration when booking.
If you need sleeping arrangements for more than two adults or children, consider suites with separate living areas and sofa beds or booking multiple suites. Always confirm maximum occupancy and bedding at booking to ensure compliance with hotel policy.
- Studio, Studio V Dog, Studio Fountain View, Vdara Suite, Panoramic Suite and others list a King Bed plus a Queen Sofa Bed (or two Queen Beds for some Studio options)
- One Bedroom Penthouse Suite and larger suites offer more living space for families
- Service animals are exempt from pet fees; dog-friendly rooms are available in designated inventory

| One Bedroom Penthouse Suite | 1 King Bed and 1 Queen Sofa Bed |
| City Corner Suite | 1 King Bed and 1 Queen Sofa Bed |
Practical tips for families and kids
Bring required documents: the adult checking in needs photo ID and the credit card used to book. Expect an incidental authorization hold and a mandatory daily resort fee that covers in-room and common-area WiFi and phone access.
Plan spa time separately: children under 18 cannot access The Spa at Vdara, so schedule family downtime elsewhere (in-suite activities, the pool during supervised hours, or nearby attractions). If you’re bringing a dog, reserve a designated pet room in advance and review the pet fee and rules.
- Resort fee and incidental hold expected at check-in
- Pool is seasonal — check dates before you travel
- Spa access limited to 18+; plan other family activities if you want spa time
| What to check before arrival | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Pool season dates | Pool access is seasonal; hours can change |
| Room bedding and max occupancy | Ensures enough beds/sleeping space for children |
| Pet room availability (if bringing a dog) | Pet rooms are limited and have fees |
