Left the terrible Tropicana in Vegas and arrived at a little resort 'heaven'. Helpful, courteous staff, no room issues except that we would have to leave it too soon to return to work. Beautiful beach, great vineyards for wine tasting nearby and memorable sunsets seen from the beach walks and our balcony. Serene.
