We ate at Cagney’s our last night and the food was excellent, my Ribeye melted in my mouth and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Teppanyaki

3 out of 5

I was not impressed. I felt like our Hibachi grill back home was better with food and presentation. The food had a blain taste.

Los Lobos

I don’t care for Mexican food but I had the Seafood Enchiladas and they changed my taste for Mexican.

Galaxy Pavilion

4 out of 5

We did the Escape room, which we were unable to do. Communication between the instructor and our group was not clear. But we did have a good time. I did the formula 1 VR car which was a blast. There were a variety of VR games.

Encore Speedway

5 out of 5

We had a blast in the go carts we had 9 people and made a reservation so all of us could drive together. It’s definitely worth the $15.

Encore Theater

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the shows and the seating was great. We saw Choir of Men and Kinky Boots.
