| - Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved this hotel!
We were here the first week of August - it was packed busy, so it took a lot longer at the valet each time we needed our car. Typical wait was anywhere from 20-30 minutes at the front.
It is a large resort in itself - so prepare for a long walk through the casino to get back to the rooms. That's ok because the casino is fantastic! I echo the reviews about MLife cards - sign up right away - its good in other hotels as well and those points add up fast - leading to loads of freebies.
Rooms were comfy and well decorated. Not cheesy. We were in a deluxe Queen - great views, feather pillows, they do that sheet-wrapped down filler thing now instead of a smelly comforter. Lighting in the room is poor but contemporary - but we didn't hang out there - just slept there most of the time anyway.
We saw both the Beatles Love show and Terry Fator. Both were a HUGE hit with the family (all adults, but the shows can work for the kiddos, with a few explanations to the Fator show). I want to see LOVE again.
Dined at the buffet (getting there between breakfast and lunch let us have the option of both meals) and the Brazillian experience at Samba. Delicious! My only meh moment there was all of the meat selections were heavier with just one chicken selection and no fish options... they served flank steak, sirloin, lamb, pork, sausage, and chicken. Sides were amazing though. One dinner was a set menu option at Kokomos - I wasn't impressed with the filet -or any of the meal-until the dessert. Small, but loved the berries and cream. Tasted some chocolate goodness my hubby ordered - very rich.
We gambled on their machines mostly this trip. Won big on the 25cent 7s! Going home a winner always makes for great reviews...
