Wow. at 26. He must have an "old soul."
What is his favorite part? what is the "draw" for him?

The poker room at the Plaza never really had a chance.

My favorite part of the property has always been the pool. I am thinking about staying there on my next solo visit just for the pool. I hope it doesn't get "ruined" like the Downtown Grand's pool did.

"Ruined" is a very subjective term.

For over 30 years my favorite Vegas routine includes recuperating from the previous nights excesses by lying out by a nice pool, preferably with bar service. I prefer this to be a relaxing, quiet-ish time in the middle of the day. Lately music and crowds have made this a rare find. Or perhaps I am just getting old.

I really liked the DG's pool when they opened but it quickly became a mini-day club as it got popular. I understand that this is what most people want and I certainly don't expect businesses to cater to me when there is money to be made elsewhere. I do like that Eastside Downtown is doing better, it's just a little to young of a crowd for me.

I'm with you. I do like the DG pool. I don't care for the loud music. they have made several adjustments since opening, but the loud music has remained. I am a late sleeper, I like to start my day at the pool around noon or 1 o'clock. I like having some music to relax to, but not what they are playing. surely I am not THAT old. incidentally, 3 weeks ago I went to the pool at the Cal. OMG the most rude, obnoxious, loud, disgusting, gross extended family was there. some people don't get out much I guess. it was anything but enjoyable for me.
