social distancing Social distancing measures are visible and extensive. Every part of our operation has been modified to allow our guests to comfortably go through the property while maintaining a 6’ distance from other guests, including public spaces, food & beverage outlets and meeting space setups.
Food & Beverage Our Food & Beverage program has been modified to allow our guests to enjoy the offerings without a self-serve buffet. Pre-packaged items, small plates, and employee served items are utilized in all of our outlets.
Heightened sanitation practices All dining outlets have implemented a 30-minute sanitation cycle that covers all frequently touched surfaces. In addition, frequently touched surfaces throughout the property are continuously sanitized by our housekeeping staff
