We just returned from a one-night stay using up that last NBT free night before it expires. The reviews above are right on the mark about the look & feel of the property, the nice trails, the friendly staff and the overall quiet beauty. A few notes that may be of interest:

- RC was open on Saturday and Sunday, although it does close for a couple hours in the middle of the day per a posted schedule. Honor bar in the evening with pleasant spread of food but weak spirits selection (only Scotch was low-end Dewars, I took Jack Daniels instead). Lox & other typical items for breakfast. A cute touch was some toddler cookies (arrowroot?) mixed in with the usual crackers and bread wafers.

- Spirits options at main bar are also limited. Basic stuff, yes; higher end stuff, not really. For instance, Scottsdale stocks all five variants of Johnnie Walker, Tamaya has only Red and Black.

- Wireless internet signal strength was excellent, but T-mobile as usual had problems preventing me from getting in for a couple of hours. However, when brought to the attention of the front desk, they called T-mobile and immediately got a real person that set up a working account.

- Concierge desk was often unstaffed. However, at the Activities desk, Mariah was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I hope she gets some recognition from the GM from the comment card we filled out specifically saying so.

- The tribe's casino (Santa Ana Star) has surprisingly good pay tables on their video poker (better than Vegas strip, not quite as good as Vegas downtown) plus a nice free-play promotion for first-time slot club signups, albeit a complicated one.
