We're going in Oct. 2023 so not necessarily the best weather time to begin with, so although I'd love to stay at the RC, the windiness is scaring me. I'd also love to cut costs where possible - do all 3 currently offer comp breakfast for plats? I saw the f&b discount was discontinued - is there any sort of happy hour discount offered? And do I assume correctly that there is no benefit to golds (should make plat next year but just in case I don't)? FWIW, over our dates W is 365K, RC is 428K, STR is 480K.
