I agree on the Renaissance. I stayed at the Ren, had a very nice room on the CL level, and they served prime rib in the CL that Sunday night. Quiet, no casino, easy in/out, just you need a car. Self parking is free.
My POC will be back at the Cosmos after the holidays. Just that the people that work at the Cosmos are generally people from other casino hotels. They just do not know about MR program. They are geared for Identity program.
