Vdara opened on December 1, 2009 as a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Infinity World Development. Vdara's 57-story, {{convert|578|ft|adj=on}} tower houses 1,495 suites; an {{convert|18000|sqft|abbr=on}}, two-story spa, salon and fitness center; a market and a bar. It also has a {{convert|40000|sqft|abbr=on}} pool and deck area. Vdara does not contain casino space and, along with Waldorf Astoria, is one of two non-gaming, non-smoking hotels within CityCenter.[2] In 2010, it was discovered that the hotel's reflective surface and concave design can act as a parabolic reflector that creates conditions of extremely high temperature at the pool deck.[3][4] In 2011, Vdara received its first AAA Four Diamond Award.[3] The hotel's name (pronounced “vuh-DAH-ruh”)[6] was thought up by the property’s original design-group: The "V" in Vdara stands for "Vegas" and "ara" is meant to evoke established high-end boutique hotels, such as the Aviara or Bacara.[6] HistoryVdara, designed by Rafael Vinoly of RV Architecture, LLC, is a condo-hotel, located between the Aria Resort & Casino and the Bellagio. Vdara's 57-story tower will house 1,495 residential units, ranging from 526 to 1,750 sq ft (48.9 to 162.6 m2). The Architect of Record was Leo A. Daly with Lamberto Smigliani as Project Manager, while the Detroit-based firm Hamilton Anderson Associates was the AOR for the interior guest rooms. Peter Schroeder of Tishman Construction Corporation served as Senior Project Manager and Rick Lorimer was the Project Manager for Perini Building Company, the projects General Contractor. The Vdara was the first tower to open December 1, 2009. The Vdara was the first of the six high rises in the project to be topped out on May 14, 2008. Vdara was the first of six projects to be completed as part of the $8.5 billion CityCenter complex. Vdara's opening on December 1, 2009 was followed by The Crystals, a retail shopping center; Mandarin Oriental and Aria Resort & Casino in the same month.[4] Prior to its opening, Vdara was designated as a LEED Gold award building and received a five-key rating from the Green Key Eco-Rating Program.[5][6] Designed by Rafael Viñoly of RV Architecture, LLC, Vdara's 57-story crescent-shaped structure is formed by three parallel, offset arcs of varying heights. Because of its staggered arc design, Vdara contains six corner suites per floor, compared to four in a conventional building. The curvature of the building was designed as complementary to the arcs of Aria Resort & Casino, which is located across a shared circular driveway. FacilitiesArtArtwork is incorporated into Vdara's interior and exterior design. Nancy Rubin's {{convert|50|by|80|ft|abbr=on}} canoe sculpture Big Edge is displayed at the entrance of the hotel[7] and an {{convert|8|by|32|ft|abbr=on}} painting by Frank Stella hangs above the registration desk in the lobby. SuitesVdara contains 1,495 suites which include studios, deluxe studios, one- and two-bedroom suites and one- and two-bedroom penthouses. The units range from {{convert|526|to|1750|sqft|abbr=on}} in size and contain a kitchen as well as a washing machine and dryer.[2] The suites at Vdara are sold as private residences and owners have the option to participate in a rental program to lease their condos as hotel rooms when they are not residing there. The unsold pool of condos are structured as permanent hotel rooms managed by MGM Resorts International.[8][9] AttractionsAn {{convert|18000|sqft|abbr=on}} two-story spa and salon called Spa & Salon Vdara is made up of 11 private treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, co-ed lounges, a full service salon, a fitness center and a smoothie bar.[10] Pool & Lounge Vdara covers {{convert|40000|sqft|abbr=on}} and has 19 private cabanas. A market called Market Cafe Vdara opened on March 1, 2011, just before Vdara's only restaurant, Silk Road, closed on March 8, 2011. Vdara's only bar, Vice Versa, is also located in the lobby and contains inside and outside seating overlooking CityCenter.[11] Vdara has approximately {{convert|16,500|sqft|abbr=on}} of meeting space that includes a {{convert|4000|sqft|abbr=on}} ballroom and three breakout rooms, one of which is a 14-person board room.[12] Solar convergenceIn 2010, it was established that the building's reflective surface and concave design can act as a collecting mirror. The parallel incoming radiation from the sun is partially reflected and focuses in one dimension to a still onedimensional vertical line that lies about f = 50 m in front of the facade and hits the ground.[13] Some sources claim: The reflected rays of the sun create dangerous conditions of extremely high temperature at the pool deck. Hotel employees as well as local news outlets have reportedly taken to calling the phenomenon the "death ray," with the management describing it as a "solar convergence".[14][15] Vdara management has considered various solutions but the challenge in overcoming the structural, design problem is that the sun and its reflection are targets that are constantly moving during the day and as every season progresses.[14] In the meantime, management has installed big-sized, blue-colored umbrellas over the pool deck to protect bathers,[16] while the hotel's glass exterior has been covered with non-reflective film.[17] The architect who designed Vdara, Rafael Viñoly, also designed the "Walkie-Talkie" skyscraper in London, UK, built in 2013, which has been dubbed the "Walkie-Scorchie" and "Fryscraper" due to a similar, sun-reflecting and scorching problem.[17][18][19] See also
