MISCELLANEOUS

Resort Attire - Casual dress (slacks, shorts, sport shirts) are appropriate in all areas in the hotel at all times and for all events. Because meeting rooms always seem cold, you may want to dress in layers and bring a sweater or jacket. Tuesday evening's gala is our "big" social night, and you can enjoy it in casual wear or use this as a chance to dress up a little. Thursday evening's event provides an opportunity for some fun, so casual dress is definitely in order.
