They immensely enjoyed:
-- The pool, featuring a circular, meandering river-pool with a gentle artificial current upon which one can float round and round on inner tubes. We rented a cabana which included 2 inner tubes, otherwise they are $15 each to rent. The cabana was $100 (9a-5p) and included the inner tubes, a TV, a selection of fruits, snacks and sodas, a private lounge area, poolside food service, and lounge chairs. The pools were open until 8p.
-- The lion habitat, including getting their pictures taken with a lion cub (you could put your hand on the lion's ... while the picture was being taken). The habitat is made of plexiglass and you can walk through a tunnel under the lion.
-- The Rainforest Cafe.
-- The buffet.

If you are with your kids that is fine. However there is a strictly enforced curfew in effect in the Strip area. I belive it is 9pm Sun-Thu and 11pm (maybe midnight) Fri-Sat/Holidays.
