Very warm reception. When we shared we had not been there before we were given a short tour. Bars were fast, watched a great DSO show on "the rail"....

Beautiful venue but horrible staff. Got VIP tickets to see Rhett and Link. These expensive VIP tickets were to grant us early access into the venue....
