Where did the renovation money go? I didn't notice anything special or different. Same carpet throughout. Still have to go downstairs to use restroom. VIP section (the pit) is horrible. Old chairs? Come on.

Did not appreciate the rudeness of the staff or the congestion because only one bathroom (on the second floor) was open.
