I was told by another guest that you can see most of the new construction from the balcony of the second floor of building 23 which abuts the project, so I walked over and took a look. There is a very large construction crew working on all phases of the project. The new building that will contain the room suites has a long way to go. They are working on the balconies and exterior facades and you can see into the building as there are no glass sliders or windows in yet. One crew is working on HVAC improvements and I assume that rough plumbing and electrical is also underway. The building which will contain the restaurants, bar, hottub, nightclub etc. looks to be further along but you cannot see into it. The pool has been formed and there is still considerable site work underway. Other than to state the obvious that there is a long way to go, especially considering all of the finish tiling, fixtures, finish work, furnishings etc. that needs to be done, its not possible for me to venture an informed opinion as to whether everything will be completed by the beginning of February. We don't generally to this time of year but wanted to go one last time before the expansion is finished and integrated into the resort. The character of the resort is going to change quite a bit in our opinion. We are really going to miss the outdoor lobby bar/lounge area in particular. If its replacement is anything like the indoor lobby bar at Pearl it will be our last trip.
