| - First, we got CHEAP AS HECK room rates (and yes, they add a $23 a day "hotel charge" which takes away somewhat from the great deal). We got a free upgrade to a Suite.
ALL and EVERY employee we had any contact with-- from Bell Men, Parking Attendants, Security, Waitpersons, Concierge, Dealers, etc. etc. etc.-- were wonderful. Polite, friendly, professional. SUPER wonderful staff. Very nice and did great. We liked that. It was true everywhere in the hotel casino. The staff were excellent. And our maid(s)-- did a fabulous job cleaning our suite every day. Can't say enough good stuff. Take some of that $$$ away from the stupid "suits" and give the "working staff" all raises.. they make the place great.
Place is TOO DARN BIG. Just too big. We rented me a "scooter" and that helped some with my mobility problems. But it is still just too big.
POOL: They have a wonderful Floating River. Takes a good 10-15 minutes to go around the whole thing. Nice staff, nice plantings, etc. BUT: This time, July 4th to 9th, there were TOO MANY KIDS-- screaming, running, bumping, obnoxious, loud, horrible KIDS. They clogged the floating river and the pools. Ruined that part for us. Just too much.
"Ka", Cirque du Soleil show: WOW! OMG! A+++++. Awesome show. Best of the 7 Cirque shows I have seen. Just outstanding. So worth it. Wish I could go again. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Restaurants: Ate at Wolfgang Puck one night. Wow, the prices were pretty reasonable and food was EXCELLENT, as was waiter. Next night we went to "Diego" Oaxacan Mexican food... very very good. Loved the chicken in mole sauce. Great meal. Never made it to the buffet. For breakfast we loved the cafe restaurant. Hopefully next time we will get to try Joel Robuchon (heard many great things); Emeril's, and other places.
It was clean, nice, pretty, and excelent staff. Just wish it was a little smaller. Wonderful place to stay for a great rate.
