seemoreroyals,
Hotel: Advantage GN based on what I remember of Horseshoe BC when we'd make the run from Nacogdoches (SFA) when the kiddo was there compared to GN options. The standard extended room with soaker tubes and balcony are really nice. The 4 corner suites on each floor are super nice, two room suite with living area and nice bar area. Bath and a 1/2 which can sleep 4. This is our normal room, especially going over on non-Friday/Saturday nights.
Then come the show stoppers:
Penthouse/Presidential Suites (top floor- 22) are superb. Secured floor with private entry key. With grand pianos, wine dispensers, huge balconies, luxurious baths and living areas the 1,500 sq ft is really upper class. We've caught a Presidential several times usually during the dead of winter.
Lofts, 1/2 are facing the pools on the ground level of the Spa Tower, are 2,000 sq ft. two story delights with a fireplace, kitchenette, living area, upstairs bedroom with sunken TV and huge bath areas. Just outside your door is a nice private canopied, picnic area and a hot tub.
Villas. The Villas are the Creme de la Creme. I'm guessing around 2,000 sq ft. These diamonds are located on the bottom of the Rush Tower across from the pool with their own secure entrance. Each has a full kitchen, huge living room, fireplace, huge master suite with a walk-in closet as big as a small room and huge bath areas. Outside the entire area is outside porch with a outside fireplace and private hot tub. Oh and the private concierge. The whales love it.
Restaurants: (Currently open) Salt Grass, Landry's, Lillian's Asian, Chart House, Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse, Bill's Hamburger, and Claim Jumpers - a 24 hours quick food. Additionally, there is a general store open 2 hours which has prepared sandwiches and salads, chips, drinks including liquor/beer. The Chicken Salad and ham/cheese are really good.
Perks: GN made not be as good as CET. You can have a free trip to any GN with limo and meals annually-travel cost not included, free cruise voucher every six months. Pre-Covid the monthly gifts were really nice and based on play. One of our favorite perks is the ability to use our Comp $ at any Landry's restaurant nation-wide. This allows us take the family to eat locally and pay with our comp $. The top class is the Billionaire Class-invitation only. These whales have a one year leased vehicle given to them. The last group we saw waiting for pickup include Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and a Maserati.
A couple of pictures of the Loft and the Presidential. I can't find the photos of Carries' Villa.
