Communication with property manager was fantastic. We arrived at 7pm and check in was easy, never received any push regarding the timeshare aspect of the property. We enjoyed not having a casino on property. Parked within the garage associated with Vdara, always found a spot. Everything was within walking distance, the Venetian Hotel (north strip) was 1.5 miles it takes 35 minutes to walk. The Mandalay Bay (south strip) is also about 1.5 miles, walking time is about 40 minutes. It always takes a lot longer to walk distances on the Vegas strip. We always walked through the mall to get to the strip, the street on the backside of hotel is not recommended.
