What questions would you like answered by day 1, Aug 15th visitors?

This is all we know now about the pools closing based on the hours posted on their website. They do clean and maintain the pools daily, either after it closes or as the sun is rising. The old pool "sports pool" was very small, and where people would swim really late at night after dancing. This previously was not 24 hours, but in the last couple of years it came to be. Also, I never saw more then 20 people in that at any one time. So it isn't like the are dropping something that the masses really even participated in.

Perhaps the new large Jacuzzi will be open late.

I honestly can't see either the sexy or the quiet pool being open really late. Based on their size both would be a liability to maintain from a safety standpoint.

 

I agree with you @ScubaSteve A 24 hour pool is an awesome concept, but it can be dangerous. I'm pretty sure that folks are blitzed out of their minds by 2AM, and I wouldn't want to see someone possibly pass out and drown. Also, it's really not a good idea to get in the pool after it has been freshly treated. LOL

 

that's an awesome list of of questions I want to thank you in advance for getting as many answers . I have one more question I know you're checking on what restaurants are open could you please find out if reservations are needed I hope they won't because most of the time the restaurants were half empty I hope Temptations listen to us about our concern

 

I would like to hear about the late night eating options (if any).

 

In the past it was Payto not sure what it will be after the reopening, give it 3 more days and you will know.

I don't know if there is anyone better to go the first week and give us a report.

Here is my pressing question: Are there still late night cheeseburgers?

 

Having read the summary of question posted above by Jen&Kyle, I would like to add a few more that come to mind. So here goes:

1) Are there still premier only items on the menus?
2) Repeat guests: is the food better or worse (realizing that this is a very subjective question). I'm particularly interested in hearing if those who didn't like the food before closing think there has been major improvement.
3) What is the "She" experience like?
4) At one time, the description for "Flame" said non-tower guests would have an additional charge. That wording has disappeared from the website. Can you confirm that there is no additional charge and if there is, what is the amount?
5) Theme nights - while the theme nights have general descriptions on the website, there is no mention of what activities will happen for each night (Such as stripper night, anything goes, Karaoke, lingerie casino etc. prior to closing). Please let us know what the new theme nights include.
6) Any sense of what sort of contract upgrade options they are offering existing Premier members and what the cost is?
7) Any sense of what they are allowing upgrade wise on specific reservations? (for example - I booked a garden view room and want to upgrade to a ocean view room?) If allowed, are the upgrades free (space permitting) or is there a cost and how much. Are the options the same for Premier members and non-members? (Recognizing that because the hotel is sold out the first week, it may be impossible to know this.)
8) Who is behind the desk at the Premier Check in? Is the service still as good?
9) How hard is it to get reservations at the restaurants that require them?

Thanks in advance to all those who will be there opening week and take the time to answer all of our questions. I will be there to check it out for myself for a week beginning on 9/10. Can't wait!

 

Ok, coming back to this to see what I can answer. There are others in the thread I will get to later that were added after I made the list I printed and brought with me.

1. Was the extra cost of a tower room worth it? What were the perks? What do I like and not like? We were upgraded to a Master suite. So for what I paid (3 something a night) it was well worth it. I would not pay the rack rate of 700-800 a night. Master suite perk was free room service. Otherwise it is $5. The balcony was awesome as you can see in my pics here... Jen and Kyle live from TTR! I didn't come across any 'perks' of being in the Bash or Lush tower area. I did like how close it is to everything. It wasn't easy to get to Bash or the Sexy pool because there were no elevators working and the hallway was FULL of workers. But in the future I could see this being an advantage. Oh and it was loud when out on the balcony. Could easily hear Bash or the sexy pool but the doors are MUCH better sound proofed than the old TTR. Yes I could still hear when closed but nothing like around the old Patty O's.
2. Did you hear anything about what it would cost to upgrade to a tower room on site? No. They were not upgrading people from non tower to tower since they didn't have enough rooms ready for people who had booked tower as far as I could tell.
3. What restaurants and bars are open so far? Everything is open except Sutra Asian restaurant, Mexican restaurant and the Sky bar.
4. Is the jacuzzi open to everyone? Yes. Only premier members? No. Tower rooms only? No. Or??? Open to everyone. And does security stop by frequently to validate the clothes stay on? Security stops by to be sure clothes are on. And nicely asks you to put them back on if not. How many people can fit in it? 40+
   
5. Do the Temptation suites now have jacuzzis on the balcony? Only 2 of the 12 do. Like some pics have indicated. Instead of inside. And are they only the ground floor rooms? And are they 2 person or larger than those at the jacuzzi rooms? Looks like the same size jacuzzis that were around the quiet pool so 2 person. squeeze in 4.
   
6. Are the tower rooms loud at night being that they are right over the club? You can hear bash but wasn't too loud. Better sound proofing on tower rooms than old rooms.
   
7. How's the new sexy pool? Amazing How's the vibe? See this post in our live from TTR thread... Jen and Kyle live from TTR! And this one... Jen and Kyle live from TTR! How is security at the pool? Didn't even notice them. People got naked with several games. It was encouraged. Where is the bathroom? The only bathroom open was inside the buffet. Kind of stunk having to get dressed every time. But very close to done were bathrooms on each end of the quiet pool. Any changes in the ladies bikinis that are allowed? No. Seethru, micro and single string? All worn and allowed. Is the water still very hot? This week it wasn't hot at all. Wasn't cold either. Refreshing.
8. Do the new towers effect shade at the pool? Yes. At about 4:30 the tower shaded the chairs on the buffet side of the pool and crept across the middle of the pool. The ends were fine though.
9. How's the new Bash club? Amazing. Are pasties with a costume ok at Bash? Yes. In fact a couple of people went topless and no one did anything. I do think they were more lenient than typical due to the issues they had. I wouldn't be surprised if topless at Bash isn't allowed at some point.
10. How's the 4.5 star food in the buffet? We never liked the old buffet. Well we did like the breakfast I guess. We liked the new buffet. We would never call a buffet 4.5 star though. Maybe 3 star which is fine for a buffet.
    
11. Who are part of the entertainment team and are the games as raunchy as before? 17 members of the entertainment team. All very attractive and very interactive. A definitely plus of the new TTR. I would not call the games raunchy. They are similar but more of a sexy fun vibe than raunchy. They did say they are learning as they go. We liked the games the first few days. Hope they don't go back to raunchy.
12. Are any of the pools open 24 hours? Quiet pool was open 24 hours. What type of security is there late night to stop skinny dipping? Security stopped skinny dipping. I am sure some people got away with it but security was around.
13. What is replacing the cigar lounge? @Steve. you allowed to answer this yet? Still being worked on when we were there.
    
14. Can I get Steve ANOTHER vodka sprite from the bar? Yes, not only can I get another vodka sprite for Steve from the bar but he repays me with fireball shots. Or will they stop him after getting too intoxicated They will not stop him but he will lean into you and rest his head on your chest while talking after too many of those vodka sprites and he may doze off for a minute or two while doing so mid sentence ha.
15. Do they have any new beer options? Sorry, I decided to stick to liquor this trip and forgot to find out.
16. Where is the sky bar? It is on the roof. Is it on the roof or somewhere else? On the roof. Who can access the roof? I heard that anyone can access the sky bar once it is ready in a few weeks. But it does sound like they were guessing. Penthouse only? Premier? Tower rooms? All? And can we access for a bar or restaurant or pool or? I received the same info from all on the sky bar, anyone. As for the rooftop pool I received conflicting info...was told anyone by some people and just premier or you can pay a fee by others. Any special events up there? Possibly. No concrete plans shared.
17. Menus for the different restaurants. What is served where? See this page for She... Jen and Kyle live from TTR! And this page for Sea Flirt... Jen and Kyle live from TTR!
18. Restaurant attire rules. I see on the website it says trendy casual, smart casual, casual and sensual elegance. What do each of those mean for the new TTR? We were told pants and collared shirt at She. But we saw people in nice shorts and nice shirt. At Sea Flirt someone had on sneakers, jean shorts and a t-shirt. I don't think they were enforcing anything due to the facilities issues. I expect this to change but just a guess.
    
19. Is there is a lunch spot similar to Margaritas? I believe in the same spot of Margaritas will be a mexican restaurant that serves lunch. It wasn't open yet.
    
20. What does gold premier member mean now? We are not premier and didn't end up doing the presentation. We showed up for it but they were so busy no one came to greet us. After 5 mins I decided their loss and went back to the Sexy pool
21. How is the general vibe of the place? Awesome. Sexy sensual while also partying like rock stars. Cant wait to go back.

 

Thanks you so much for answering these questions, it looked like you both had so much fun. Can't wait to get there now. Only 6 more weeks!

 

Most agreed...thanks for the info.
