Which would have better food, and be better for relaxation and sleep? From reading here, it sounds like Sportsman's is the better choice for relaxation and a quieter stay.

Plus I can get the VIP Discount. Am I right in my thinking?

Thnx!

Sportsmens is better in all those counts.

The food is much better and cheaper than DR.
The atmosphere for hanging out is much better. To pick up girls, DR it is.
The relaxation factor is Sportsmen's all the way.
VIP discount on rooms and restauarant/bar at Sportsmens, everything overpriced at DR.

If you can get a room there (booked for weeks and months ahead sometimes), go for Sportsmen's. The new wing rooms are new and much nicer, but any will do. If you're a light sleeper, avoid the courtyard rooms.

Thanks! I assumed as much, but you know what they say about assuming things..

I just dropped a message to reservations at Sportsman's - I hope there's something available.. I mentioned I wanted the quietest room possible :)

Sportsmens hands down a better place for what you are looking for in my opinion.

Sleep - relaxation ??? Do that when you get home.

SL is exactly what you are looking for. Good luck getting a room.

Looks like I got lucky. Carolina says I can have a Standard Deluxe for three days, then I need to move to a Junior for the last night.

Poor me :lol:

So yeah - I wrote back ASAP.. looking good.

Hey I'm sorry, you know there are plenty of other places to stay rather than the SL, if you want R&R. Just trying to help out.

FX, a wise choice. Pro-football players make their money on the gridiron. They don't sleep on it, however. 8) :lol:
