Beautiful way to experience the Pacific.

I'm not a big fan of birds but this place almost converted me. The outdoor show is as up-close as you get, with birds dragging their feathers across your head as they fly over. Great variety of birds and demonstrations. Staff was clearly devoted to the cause. I think kids would think it both cool and scary and fascinating, so they'd be talking about it for days afterward. Price is family-friendly, too. Highly recommended.

Literally the only differentiator between airport convenience stores is the staff. And the staff here are great. Not just one person, but multiple. Otherwise, yeah, they sell drinks and snacks, identical to every other store in every other airport.

All the similar features of any convention center, but this one is definitely broad hallways and easy navigation. Tons of restrooms, especially compared to some of the newer convention centers on the strip. That sounds like an odd concern, but when a session ends and 2,000 people go straight to the toilet, it's nice to have short lines. There were plenty of electrical outlets around the halls and rooms, too, so charging your phone during/between sessions was easy. I'm not sure if the staff were event or hotel, but those I saw with MGM written on their shirts were top-notch.
