When I approached the table to purchase some chips, I was unaware of the number of people at the table. But we could only find one staffed and they only allowed four players at a time. The table games were encased in plexiglass to maintain “social distancing”. It had a Bingo room and a large sports betting area. Lots of electronic slots and video poker/card machines. We feel they went a little overboard on that deal. As with most pools, it was located “OUTSIDE”. So, a lot of us kept our legs in the pool or a drink in our hand. They would come around every 30 minutes or so barking at people to cover their faces unless we were “actively” eating, drinking or in the pool.

However, a lot of the fun was sucked out by the ever present “Mask Police”. She attended to us like we were the only ones there. They were stocked with towels and a can of spray on suntan lotion. They also have six large Cabanas with couches, chairs, TV, refrigerator, and a paddle fan. The pool is fairly large and not too deep. Food was tasty and the servers were just as good as the other restaurants. Not as large a menu as most “Fridays” but there was a good selection. Again, the food and servers were excellent. The servers were excellent and attended to our needs quickly & professionally. We ate at The Salted Lime our first night. The Buffet & Nathans Hot Dogs were closed. The Market, The Salted Lime, TGIF, The Farm & Starbucks are your only options. My wife and I felt safe while we stayed on tis property. They have a security guard posted near the first-floor elevators to insure only registered guests have access to the rooms. Elevators were at the ready and we rarely waited more than a minute for one to arrive. Our floor was relatively quiet excepting the random shouting from other guests. If you are physically challenged make sure you get a room with a walk-in shower. The only thing is the bathtub/shower had a rather high entry point. Our room on the 9th floor (two Queen beds) was very clean and comfortable. It really set the tone for our entire stay and was our first encounter with the Mask Police” at The Aliante. When we approached the Front Desk we were not greeted with the usual “Good Afternoon and welcome to the Aliante” but with a stern and rather snarky “pull your mask over your nose” from the front desk woman. It is anywhere from $40.00 to $80.00 depending on which type of car you choose. It is a $120.00+ fare with tip and the driver complained the whole way that it was a waste of his time to drive that far. First observation is Do Not take a Taxi from the airport to the property.
