| - I've been lucky enough to be a hotel guest, a meeting attendee, and a conference planner at this resort, and I must admit that this is a great facility, and the everyone that works here seems to go above and beyond.
First, the rooms. They are very spacious with great amenities, including the most comfortable bed on the planet, a walk-in closet, and a patio or balcony that opens up to the center garden area. As a dude I'm not usually one to get caught up in a bathroom, but the bathrooms here are amazing. They have a HUGE whirlpool tub along with a shower that has one of those big raindrop showerheads that is right above you. Very cool.
There are quite a few restaurants here, ranging from a buffet that usually seems to be filled by the "blue-hairs" there for a quick bite before they get back to bingo, to an authentic Irish bar that has great beers on tap and even better food. It's the place to be for Steeler's games, as local fans flocked to the place for a Monday night game while I was there. There is a huge pool area complete with beverage service, a large casino area, and even a full service spa. It's quite the place if you want to get away from the craziness of the strip and enjoy some relaxation on your vacation. There are plenty of golf courses nearby, and the Red Rocks recreation area is a short drive away, great for mountain biking and hiking.
In regards to meeting planning and conference attendance, there is a separate meeting area that has great meeting spaces for both small breakout sessions to large exhibit hall areas. The staff was absolutely wonderful to work with in planning an event and definitely went the extra mile for all parties involved. Even the food service they provide for events was great (it's tough to make mass-produced chicken for 500 people taste like it was individually prepared just for you, but they made it seem like that was the case - delicious food all around). I'd highly recommend this facility to anyone planning an event, either big or small.
