There are tons of changes to the hotel... I am sure everyone noticed the boards and blocked off areas last year...
there are way too many for me to try to post here... and I wouldn't want to ruin all the suprises...
but here is the one I think will affect us the most!
Anyone else think this was a good idea?

Hard to notice from this shot... but I am sure you will see if it you look hard enough...

This is where the GLASS DOORS going out side were if you were leaving the gossip bar (I think is what it is called) right by the tower elevators)
** Notice two things... 1. The Fire Pit out side the doors... with a round couch and tons of chairs - Prob seats 40.... 2. is the hall to the Left... Where could it lead?

Anyone else happy to see this change...

"LIKE!"

Hurray for never having to go outside in August.

Solid

Jim...well done you little tease! Your pictures have made my day that much better!

See ya in two weeks.

KamiKazi took a video of the new hotel, walkways and firepit. You can view it here on youtube:

That is a amazing video....i was tempted to head down and check it out and now i dont need to.

looks awsome

That is a welcomed change. Thanks for the info!

I'm definitely a fan of the covered walkway to the byoc. Screw you nature, I've got gaming to do!

Now I truly don't have to go outside for several days at a time!
Just kidding, going outside is fun and good for you.
BUT, having to lug my gear around in the heat was miserable and now I won't smell of sweat after a short walk!

This looks great and almost reminds me of Gaylord in a sense. (The long hallways)
Good job Hilton!

FB FTW. I posted the ones I took on there 2 weeks ago

Complain to KamKazi, not me

Prove it your post is gone!

Well some friends and I are recreating (not to very good scale) the Hilton for a Minecraft server. Guess we have to redo this part when someone did an amazing job on it so far. Guess we could keep that part like the old Hilton?

We wants it....

Very nice pics....thanks

The hotel is back to the 1990's awesomeness it used to be.

The changes are 'effin amazing! Never thought it would happen, or at least that fast.. It makes me feel.. Complete.

Also the floors have some serious cushion under the carpet and it makes me feet want to do the happy dance.
