Since many people also want the overwater bungalow experience in addition to The Brando, they have no doubt been losing revenue to the FS and StR.

I ate off the vegan menu at the Beachcomber Cafe for dinner.
I did not ask for the vegan menu at Les Mutinés. I did attempt to revise a regular menu item to make it vegetarian. The waiter suggested I just have a veggie plate or a salad, I can't remember which. No thanks. So, I held firm and ended up eating a little beef stock, oh well.
The waiters at Bob's Bar were great about bringing me bar snacks that did not include meat.
I am fine with a vegan meal or two, or asking for something I truly crave off-menu (in fact it is often one of my "tests") but at the end of the day I am a vegetarian dining at a hotel. I don't want to be asked to create dishes for a chef who should be fully capable of developing a well-rounded menu with options for multiple dietary preferences (I know, not an easy task), or suggesting one-off dishes that are not vegan, salads, veggie plates, or pasta primavera. Figuring out what to cook is a chore I do at home.
Of course, I am fully aware that my diet is a choice. Despite what it may sound like, I am not fussy. I pick the meat off of my airline salad, and I ate chicken recently so as not to offend a tribal elder, and grasshoppers, because, well they're a dietary gray area
