I also got an Exec Suite one time up on Black Rock that was huge. It wasn't the greatest location but it was a massive suite.

Also I do believe you are allowed to go use the pools at the Westin Hotel as well as the Resort Villas (there's a shuttle). And The Resort Villas has great family-friendly pool stuff for young families like the pirate ship kiddie pool area.
