Good: \n + Excellent kiddie island - 4 stories of much fun and usable by adults.\n+ Very good set of toddler slides (choice of 4)\n+ New facility - opened in May 2013\n+ Excellent swimmer to lifeguard ratio\n+ Super fun rides including a slide racer where 5-6 sliders race down the watery rainbow slope\n+ Food taste - had a very tasty chicken teriyaki sandwich\n+ There are some water misters in the wait lines to keep you cool\n+ An excellent adjacent public park was fun to play in after we left the swimpark for the day\n\nBad:\n - Location. This new location is far, far off the Strip and requires a long drive to get there. Back parking lot is a hike to the front.\n - Cost. Everything costs so much - extra for parking, extra for tube rental, expensive locker rental, extra expense for line-jumping pass, extremely costly charge ($150) for cabana rental. This is on top of the hefty $40 per adult charge.\n - Changing Rooms. Little to no clothes changing stalls in both male and female bathrooms; very few showers.\n - Entry. Entrances to the wave pool and lazy river are narrow and cause congestion\n - Tubes. You have to haul your own float tube to the top of the rides - no conveyor belt to assist in getting the tube to the top\n - Wait time - longish lines (without the line jump band) meant a long wait between fun rides.\n - Special salt water conditioning system in pools is harsh on swim suits - my daughter's dark pink suit came home very light pink\n\nTip:\n* Take your own shade and chairs - those are in short supply\n* Be sure to wear flip-flops or watershoes to all the rides - there is a LOT of non-shaded cement and it gets very hot.
