text: Not the newest hotel on the block but still a classy place I love going in different seasons to see the conservatory change This was our first stay there What I like about this hotel on the strip is you do not have to fight for elevator space to get to your room There was very little a time where we had to stop tons of times to get up or down The rooms are like any other nice hotel on the strip The best part was getting a room with a view of the fountains nOther yelpers recommending getting to the pool early for preferred seating I would usually cabana it but I do not think me and this baby bump could really be out there so the best for us was to get in before am and find a spot with either an umbrella or shade trees The small pools with the fountain have COLD water The larger pools are warmer The cabanas look pretty but i think you should get one near a pool and have equal amounts of sun for the loungers and shade with the cabana If you have ever stayed at the MGM lazy river filled with gobs of beer bottles and washed off suntan lotion you will be happy herewith a mix of hotties oldies cougars and kidsnGood location on the strip and good service and less funky peopleif that makes sense but i am not spelling that out cough excalibur cough
