I have been here a couple times for NYE, it has the advantage of being a little cheaper for the quality, probably because it is at the very south end of the Strip. However it is worth the savings since you can take a tram up the road for free instead of the painful walk on the street that goes up and down the stairs since pedestrians cannot be trusted on the roads. I have always come in winter so I can't comment on the pools but it looks like there are a lot of major beach style resort outdoor pools. The restaurants are pretty good and some are reasonable, although after hours there are disappointingly few choices. The spa is probably the second best in Vegas after Qua which is one of the big draws for New Year day. The Aquarium is a little underwhelming and small for the price. The attached mall has great fun options for shopping. Parking is a little maze-like to figure out but abundant. The rooms are decent with great views all around from higher up.
