Well my wife and I decided to stay there for a second time after we chose to stay there last summer after it had originally opened. The only reason we did stay there was due to the Beau casino next door being too expensive. The first go around last summer was very sad. For it having just opened we expected much more. This time, though, we had as much fun as we had on our honeymoon in Key West 3 years prior. Got the low down from one of the bartenders who said that there were a couple of large layoffs and pretty much only the best were kept. The center bar has added a stage for live performances. It is in the dead center of the casino so you can see the act from pretty much anywhere. We loved this while we were playing blackjack. We won at blackjack which made the stay all the more fun, of course. Got a free comp for the Vibe restaurant from one of the pit bosses and enjoyed the meal tremendously. On Saturday we decided to check out the pool. An absolutely beautiful day made it perfect. Pool was very crowded but there was so much eye candy I will never complain. Can look but not touch, right? It seems that all of the people by the pool that we talked to seemed to be in party mode. If you are looking for a quiet place to come disappear, stay away. The pool was extremely fun. I got roasted so don't forget the sunblock. It made the next day miserable but I stayed in and gambled and watched some 'Big Dance' college basketball at the sportsbar so it worked out well. There are tables in front of that bar now so if you don't feel like gambling but still want to watch an event, you now have someplace to do it while your significant other attempts to lose all of your money at a stupid progressive slot machine that had some ridiculous amount on it that my wife new she was going to win and kept putting all of her winnings from the earlier night in and would not listen to me as I checked in to tell her that it was not going to happen as she blew me off. (o: (You are supposed to say that last sentence in one breath so you feel exhausted at the end like I did trying to get her away from that machine.) Anyway, the bartenders were very nice(look for Jerry in the Casino) and kept us filled up with alcohol, the pool was a blast, and the food in the Vibe was yummy. All the while, the beds were comfy, comfy, comfy and the shower had 3 heads to it so I did not have to spin around. Sometimes I wish I were a high roller so I could stay in those rooms forever but I am merely a common worker bee that enjoys my time away from reality. I did have a small issue with the valet guys but if I were a teenager parking cars, I may have temptations too. Besides that, we enjoyed our stay. If you do go it helps to win while gambling so if you can make that happen your time will be much more fun. Ha.
