It doesn't have a balcony, but I did have strip facing views infront of TI.

You get various benefits at prestige level. Movie with popcorn and drinks etc went down well with my wife. Of course Ambassador/RA you get a free movie rental.

Enjoy it! ^
I had to pay for a similar TI strip view on my last stay in August/September, it was something like $40 a night to move from Prestige Siena Suite to Prestige Siena suite with view. I did however pay on this trip for the room category 2 types below the Siena Suite as the property confirmed to me that they would not upgrade me further beyond the Siena suite I had originally booked.

I thought the Prestige benefits were poor value to be honest and you can certainly get better value for breakfast and evening drinks and nibbles for $80 a night in more pleasant surroundings elsewhere. I wasn't aware of any other significant benefits beyond those of RA apart from the lounge.
