If you do choose to stay at Circa - from my experience last January - your food credit may not cover everything. But depending where you eat, the serving sizes are pretty large. For example - my wife and I each order a sandwich from the Deli (Saginaws) and they were pretty large. We would've been fine one 1.
I stayed at the D and we just watched NFL playoff games at Circa. I'll be returnin this coming January.
Cant help with the VP options, as I play mostly BJ. But good luck with whatever you choose!
