To find the vertex of the quadratic function given in vertex form \( y = a(x - h)^2 + k \), we can identify the vertex directly from the equation.

The function provided is:

\[
y = -10(x + 15)^2 - 18
\]

We can rewrite it to match the vertex form:

\[
y = -10(x - (-15))^2 - 18
\]

From this, we can identify:

- \( h = -15 \)
- \( k = -18 \)

Thus, the vertex of the parabola is \( (h, k) = (-15, -18) \).

So, the vertex is:

\[
\boxed{(-15, -18)}
\]
