Sure, I'll note a few downers:
1) When we arrived at AC airport, we were on a list of the "anderson paty" and directed to a shuttle bus where we sat (no AC) for 15 minutes waiting for the andersons.
Not one of the 12 limos had a sign indicating destination. Finally, found a limo going to Bally's but had to ask half of the drivers.
2) The room at check-in was not the kind we (always) requested; A standard room with ocean view (why go to AC if not for an oceanview?). Took an hour to get the room ready.
3) Our friends arrived that night and 7* check in room had closed.
They and a dozen others behind them checked in at 7* counter but it was not staffed until they raised hell.
4) For the massage, told to go to Harrah's and upon arrival was told it was at Ballys.
And to top-off the trip, our ride back to airport was a no-show. We took a cab; an adventure where the cab driver took back roads apparently to avoid tolls.
One kudo was the slot tournamemt. Was impressed at how quickly they moved people through the ordeal. But when your dealing with 1000 participants, a drawing would have been better.
And as far as James saying "98% sounds good" ----- Huh?
