Great property! Fun time. I would give 5 stars if the staff at the restaurants would be more attentive to the guests. It took 25 minutes to get the bill when done and the staff would check on you but in a hurried fashion to walk away without giving time to answer them. Was not busy enough not

The staff at the reception desk was a bit “snooty” for my taste. They cater to the very wealthy I’m sure, but that doesn’t excuse them from friendly and courteous verbal communication skills with all guests. If they were in fact trying, they really need to try harder.
