The property is immense, featuring multiple hotel towers, a vast casino floor, and "The Quarter," an enclosed shopping, dining, and entertainment complex designed to mimic a vibrant city street. This creates a lively, energetic atmosphere that can be both exhilarating and, at times, overwhelming due to its sheer scale. While many guests appreciate the "great energy" and the convenience of having everything under one roof, it's important to acknowledge that the quality of rooms can vary significantly between towers, with some older sections, such as the West Tower mentioned in a negative review, potentially offering a less updated experience.
