“Loved the variety of food options to choose from. Everything was so beautiful. You could tell there was a lot of thought into how things were set up. The service was wonderful as well. They had live music and even clowns that were doing tricks and making balloon animals for the kids. It was hectic getting up to the right floor with all of the Asian tours at the same time though. The only thing I asked for that they didn't have was melted butter for the crab legs. All in all it was great. A wonderful view of the night city lights and the sunset all in one.”
