Have stayed here 3 or 4 times over the last few years, including July 2014. The rooms are amazing.....huge and nicely appointed with big bathrooms. The pool is very nice. Had drinks and food by the pool which were pricey for sure (2 drinks and a pizza over $60). Also stayed a Venetian several times, which is equally as great. We stayed at Venezia Towers once...walked a solid mile to the room, but the pool is awesome and private. Tons of places to eat and shop. The slots were much tighter this trip than in past trips. But we always get our room comped (we play penny slots, but lots and lots of pennies!)
