We stayed for two nights, paying $6,000 per night. I really loved the metallic friction sound when the elevator doors opened, which, combined with the dark teak and blue carpet in the guest corridors and gold accents, created a luxurious, almost Netflix-esque atmosphere.
Our room was on the 16th floor, room number 1604, and offered views of the mountains and the neon lights of the Main Street Station Hotel at night. (This hotel is a Victorian-style station, absolutely the most beautiful and immersive in the entire downtown area and surrounding region; if we hadn't stayed on this side, we probably wouldn't have visited it.) I particularly enjoyed the bathroom's design with its double vanity and dressing table, which is quite uncommon for Asians. It was wonderful to be able to sit down in the bathroom to do my makeup and skincare.
In the evening, my husband and I watched a hockey game at Circa Sports. The screens were big and seamlessly pieced together; during hockey commercial breaks, we could watch NBA. We don't usually watch sports – the last time was the World Cup – but because of Circa Sports, we've decided to start following sports events back home. Afterward, my husband went to get some Chick-fil-A nearby for a late-night snack in the room, and it was incredibly delicious.
After checking out, we went to visit Stadium Swim. Since tickets were available for non-guests for $25 per person, the entrance wasn't in the guest room area. The staff in the guest room area were super friendly and directly escorted us there. However, the pool only had open, partition-free rinse areas with no shower gel or shampoo. Preparing for a 14-hour flight back to Asia, we ultimately didn't jump into the water. Instead, we sat in the front row of lounge chairs, observing the vacationing Caucasians during our last few hours in America. This might have been the best moment of the entire trip.
