Stayed here for a few days before our house was ready to move in. Nice spacious room with a kitchenette and sitting area with a couch/pullout bed, and DirecTv. The staff was nice and had a decent complimentary breakfast. My only fuss was the bed. I am used to a king-sized bed. Not their fault it was only a queen. The problem with the bed was that it was waaaay too soft, and felt like it leaned backward towards the head. I felt like I was being swallowed when i got in. There was a pool also, but I didn't have a chance to check it out. Would definitely stay here again if needed.

POSITIVE

question:
The Lion King has to be the best Disney movie ever made. Many can argue that there are a few other top contenders that may bump them from the #1 seat, but what movie elicits a more emotional reaction to a character's death, a bigger connection with the characters with flawless character development, and a feeling of grand awe watching an animal climb a rock in the final scene? I can't think of another movie that surrounds a cast of animals more moving than The Lion King.

This is the kind of expectations I had when walking into the theater. I was about to see my favorite movie of all time come to life with a live singing cast, breathtaking set design, and artistic revamping for the stage. Here I was, at 25, giddily awaiting the curtain to be drawn, in the same way I was practically jumping up and down in my seat almost 17 years ago, excited to watch the original.

When the opening number began with (a female) Rafiki it really set the tone for a great production to follow. Her powerful vocals were chilling, and she is easily the best performer out of the entire cast. It must be difficult to follow such a strong beginning number as I found myself bored during the first few scenes. The most memorable songs were towards the middle to the end and almost aways featured Rafiki who mostly sang in Swahili in smooth harmony with other female vocals.

The musical stayed mostly true to the movie, but to provide the fluidity of performing a movie on stage, the writer added a few more songs and situations to help the story along. I actually felt there are enough people who knew the storyline already that obviates the song additions. It made some parts unnecessarily long and undermined the powerful emotions that should have been associated with more of the pivotal scenes in the musical.

Overall, the cast is talented and worked mostly well with each other. The dancers had plenty of energy and conveyed the story well through dance and song. I would like to see a different company perform this sometime later, though. Something about watching this show in Vegas made it feel like it was lacking in the grandeur and honest emotions I was craving for such a powerful story. 3.5 stars, but awarding 4 stars.

question:
Stopped here because a friend was really excited to experience it.

Strike one: the waitress led us to a table that was being reserved by another waitress. They had a hissed exchange, while my party hovered near a bridal party. Awkward.

Strike two: we had to share menus. The restaurant was not packed, and yet we were told there was a ""menu shortage."" Annoying.

Strike three: we had to wait a really long time between ordering drinks and ordering food. Since we ordered one of the goblet drinks, with our water, we started getting sick to our stomachs before our food came.

Strike four: the food came at different times. One of us ate and finished the soup portion of a soup & salad before the rest of us got anything. Once that first got her entree salad, the steak was not as she ordered it (medium rare vs bleeding) and had to be sent back. So she didn't eat until the rest of us were finished.

I was staring at the man who appeared to be the manager and hoped he stopped by to ask us about our visit. The man who cleared our plates and refilled our drinks was really sweet though. I'm not sure if this place is used to dealing with inebriated folks who think it okay to wait a half hour for a tuna melt, or if the wait staff only cares when there is a celebrity present. But I would skip it if I were you.
