. "0"^^ . "Stayed here for the second time, just a few notes and a little disappointment this time. Kind of a bummer but sh*t happens and the hotel was at 99% capacity. Had to lower the rating, sorry Delano.\n\n1. Pillow update - horrible I do not know what happened. Next time I'll bring one from home. Worst shoulder and neck pain ever for 3 nights.\n\n2. Whatever you do DO NOT pay for a \"strip view\" save your money for drinks or food. It's basically looking directly at the giant glass pyramid of the Luxor, there is no strip view. We asked to be moved because the glare coming off that monstrosity was blinding, we were moved to the other side where we had a view of the airport. Not ideal but at least our room wasn't blasted with pyramid light. If you want an actual strip view try Mandalay Bay, Ceasar's, anything center strip.\n\n3. Maid service day 3 - we only were given 2 towels, seriously 2 towels and there was a very small, but gross, drop of blood in the middle of the bottom sheet. Maybe the maid was having a bad day, maybe she cut herself and took 2 towels to stop the bleeding and got blood on the sheet, I dunno but it was a little weird. We called housekeeping and they were apologetic about the blood and changed the sheets....but then left it behind folded on the chair. Again very weird, leaving the sheet behind who does that?\n\n4. The Delano Beach Club pool, really nice, clubby dj tolerable, chairs are comfy, cocktail servers were beyond friendly and on top of things. Wished we hit this pool up earlier. The only draw back as that the people watching wasn't as good.\n\n5. The Mandalay pool is also great but if you want a drink or food get it yourself, the service is horrible. I'm assuming it's understaffed, it seemed like two girls had that huge area to cover. We went to that pool two days in a row, probably stayed 4 hours each day and were asked once if we wanted anything and that was on the second day.\n\n6. If you buy the refillable cup at the pool SAVE IT. The cups we bought last year were the same this year but we did not bring them back. It might not happen all the time but it will save you some cash. Also if you plan to use the lazy river buy an inner tube somewhere else and bring it, they will fill it with air.\n\n7. Stop at Citizens and pick up a Sammy, salad or snack to take to the pool. The food here is really good, large enough to split and a bit cheaper than food available at the pool.\n\n8. Do not run out of sunscreen. Hawaiian Tropic is $20 at the gift shops, if you are in a bind get Sun Bum from the gift shop in Delano it's $15 but that's it's normal cost. $20 for Hawaii Tropic, you should be ashamed of yourself!"^^ .
