Getting into this place is a freaking chore. Heaven forbid you attempt to access The Quad's parking garage on a busy Friday night. The parking Nazis are on standby to force you a detour if you're not a guest. Fortunately some locals know ways around that nonsense ;)
Parking structure and entrance into the hotel is atrocious. Dirty, filthy atrocious. Not construction atrocious. We know the hotel is being renovated and that's fine. But first impressions go a long way, and I feel sorry for our visitors who see this filth walking into such a beautiful new shopping center. Clean the damn garage.
There is no excuse why there is little to no cell reception here. That to me is just strange.
Now, after you make the trek in...
There really aren't a lot of shopping outlets to experience. More food and bar-oriented. A couple of the shops are just outright weird, and completely unheard of. And very pricey. Kitson is a hipster nightmare. Hit up 12am Run for all the latest and greatest in the hyped up sneakerhead universe. Stop by Sprinkles cupcakes for more extortion that you might not mind as much if you happen to enjoy your dessert. If the line is an hour long wait, as per usual, opt for the cupcake ATM on the side of the building. Slim choices, more expensive, but that's the price you pay for impatience and screaming children, yes? Enjoy sitting by the water fountains outside.
Haven't done the High Roller yet but I hear good things. Again, a little pricey like the rest of this joint. Maybe someday soon.
