Problem: At first glance this looked like a wonderful restaurant to have a great evening meal. We were greeted by a wonderful hostess, and then it went down hill once we sat down at our table. The waitress unfortunately started on the wrong foot when asked about if they had a Malbec in house, the reply was: Yes, It's $200 and I don't think you can't afford that, and we don't sell it by the glass. I was stunned! (My husband had returned to the table) to see me, and the others in a shocked state. I would like to take the higher road and say that I don't believe she realized what she had said to me. So in short we settle for the over priced $98 bottle of Ruffino Chianti Classico. The water was great but it lacked the lemon we asked the waitress to bring and received none until we asked the server to bring us some. (With a smile still). The menu's came and my husband who never complains about anything was taken back by the prices. Thus adding insult to an already injured evening we ordered our perspective appetizers, and meals and carried on conversations to pass the time. From the ordering of an over priced bottle of wine, ($98) to a menu of food that was good but not off the charts, we could have gotten the same quality and better serve elsewhere. My friend order the Risotto the price was $30. Risotto!!! Not only was this one the most expensive restaurants, for the quality of food but the service unfortunately didn't add up. Speaking of service: This evening was so slow that they had a table with a party of 7 who ordered their drinks and their meals up and leave. Anyway the highlight of the evening: We found out that if you are a Las Vegas resident you could get 50% off your meals (Alcohol not included of course). Oh! but the waitress forgot to tell my son that...who is a new resident and had left early because of the time. Thank goodness for great friends we met their for dinner. They told us! So that whopping over $400 and then some bill was reduced by the great friends. So all in all the evening blessing was we got to spend it with our son and our friends who met us their for dinner. No we didn't get dessert! Being thankful for good and bad experiences teaches us much about life.

Problem: This is one of 3 Vegas properties and by far, this is the better one if you want to be closer to the Strip. As the other reviews said, nice pools, lazy river, nice sized rooms --- basically all the good stuff other reviewers have mentioned. If you're an owner, this is the place to stay in LV. For the most part, it's a nice place. Now, why did I take off one star. As another reviewer mentioned, the hard sell!! OMG, people, we are owners, you do NOT need to tell us how to vacation, what's new, how to save credits, what do to about affiliate memberships (RCI, II), we're old hats at this. And, we know how to read!! We keep up with things. SO, why is it you feel that you need to bug us about going down to your cheapo breakfast for an hour for you to tell me what I already know. If I say no, I already know all that and I'm only here for a few days and no, I did not make any time in my schedule to listen to your presentation, please believe me, leave me the heck alone and just give me my parking tag. Oh yeah, that's right. The sales person is holding your parking tag. She took 20 minutes of my time and wouldn't say no until I said, check w/ me later when the rest of the family arrived. Guess what, she called the room, later that afternoon to ask how many people were showing up to breakfast tomorrow. I said, the family hasn't arrived yet. She then called my cell later that evening to ask again. Good GOD!! When I got back to the room, I unplugged all the phones. I refuse to get a phone call at 8am the following day. We planned to party that night and crawling in at the crack of dawn. TIP: when you come in to the resort, the guard takes down your plates, hands it to you to give to the front desk. So as far as I'm concerned, you already know whose car is parked in your parking lot. I don't need my hang tag. Next time, I skip the hang tag from the "resort host". Oh yes, to add, when you finally get out of the resort host's face, you get a little gift with toiletries. Whoopie!! I gave up 20 minutes in Vegas for that arguing with her. Also, if you show up for breakfast, you get $50 AMEX. She says, one less breakfast to cook. COOK? Heck, I'm in Vegas. I may have a kitchen but I'm sure as heck not cooking. I may have juice or some snackies but I left the cooking at home. And besides, $50 doesn't even cover a decent breakfast per person in Vegas and she thought it was one breakfast for the family. Did she think we were going to Dennys? One last bit, in the afternoons, they make fresh popcorn by the lounge and some drink. We had lemonade. While nice and cold, as the day wore on, they must have been using the same lemons and sugar and just adding ice and water because it was getting more and more watered down. Good for hydration, I guess. Last last bit - I promise. As an owner, I plan to write a letter to Wyndham or at least let my annoyance be known about the pushy sales tactic. If every owner complained about it, hopefully they'll tone it down for owners.

Problem: Using my Palms coupon book to the maxxxx. After Nathan's we decide on some fro'yo for dessert! I got the TART - YUM! I love it... Like Cherry on Top but not AS tart and no funky after taste like Cefiore. Good topping like strawberry flavored popping boba bubbles!!! Omg YESSSS!!! Fresh fruit, strawberries, blueberries, etc and of course goodies like gummy bears, sour worms, m&m's. Its definitely a NOM in my book! Four stars because seriously, they could CHOP up the strawberries instead of juat cutting them in half! It's hard to eat maaaaan!!!
