| - I've been here twice now -- once during the day as a pool patron/Yelp Elite event attendee and once in the evening for the Ben Folds concert. Overall, the place is pretty spectacular.
I liked it most as a concert venue -- it was open and strangely intimate, not overrun with people and you could sit comfortably on loungers or with your feet in the pool. Big fan and can't wait to attend a concert here again.
During the day, it's kind of crapshoot, but still very lovely. you have to take into account the folks that are vacationing. It can be a bit "frat boy/guido/moronic" , but that's to be expected in Vegas and it makes for good people watching (with running commentary, of course).
I love the wading aspect to the pool and it's definitely much larger than I anticipated.
The big drawback for me is the drink price -- at least during the concerts. $11 for a well vodka tonic in a plastic tumbler is really bollocks. I can get a fancier cocktail, like one of their signature cosmos, in a proper glass inside at the Chandelier for $12, so the concert drink prices kept me from making further purchases poolside.
(Also, tip for the events department, when posting a show to pick up tickets at "Will Call", you might want to let people know where that is. You have to go on quite a hike to pick up your tickets. We were told by 3 people to go to 2 different areas before we finally found it.)
But I'd see a concert there again any time.
