Very excited for the Cosmo connection. I usually stay at Vdara and it's a pain to get to Cosmo -- down the stairs, walk outside, dodge traffic driving into Cosmo, etc. This will make the food court area at Cosmo a viable food alternative if you're staying at Vdara too.

Very nice. I stay at both Vdara and Aria often, so its nice to have this walkway back, especially now that its indoors and air condioned/ heated for comfort. And the added wing to the Cosmo will definitely be convenient. I always hated having to walk through Cosmos parking garage and then out on to the street just to get back to Vdara.... The only thing missing that would be perfect is a moving escalator to help you walk faster like in the connecting bridge between Luxor and Excalibur

Will be in a panoramic suite at the Vdara 2nd week of April. Have stayed at the Aria a few times. Elected for the Vdara because you get soooo much more for your buck. Not to mention, you dont have to exit the elevators and get drowned in cigarette smoke. Thanks for the content. Good to know.

Depends what part of aria. I find cutting through Cosmo then the Crystal shops then Aria is fastest. However if I’m going to Jewel or the pools (Aria east side) then using this bridge will lead direct to those places

The bridge is also a shortcut to Cosmopolitan’s Wicked spoon or Superfrico/Opium show. It exits directly to that spot .

It makes a lot of sense. Vegas is great but the amount of walking you need to do is crazy and much of it not in a straight line and often in very hot weather.

The hotels don’t want you to leave. That’s why it’s inconvenient to walk. (However now MGM owns all these casinos, so they don’t mind if you have a bridge to Cosmo or Aria or Bellagio.) It’s all the same company
