another question, on hotels.com and empedia it says i have to be 21 to check-in... anyone have any experience checking into hotels in teh bahamas? I know they never carded me for drinks a year ago? I'm 18 and dont want to get there and not be able to check in

I stayed there last January for the Pokerstars tournament. It is a very nice resort but crazy expensive. I don't think I would stay there again based only on the price.

I've never been there...but the hotel is going to require ID to check-in so they will be carding you just for that.

Whether or not they actually check your birthdate also, who knows?

You could call and ask if you wanted.

This society is [censored] ageistor whatever its called. I cant believe you need to be 21 to check in there.

Stay at Atlantis if you can afford it, b/c it kicks ass, and you'll be there a lot anyways. As for tower, stay at the cheapest. Beach Tower, IIRC.

Wife and I stayed there a few years ago and it was awesome. Good deals can be had if you shop around. We paid $400 for four days/three nights. Food is expensive on site but there are other options within a 10 minute walk. We travel a lot and it's probably the best vacation we ever had.

Stayed there thrice - awesome resort. The buffet's rock.

When you check in, slip the lady taking your information @ the computer a $50 and ask her if there are anything availiabe in one of the other towers (closer to the casino / whatever you want). It's a gamble, but I'm 2 for 2 with it.

Does anyone know if the $1,000 meal plan that Stars provides is more than adequate for 2 people? Or do you actually spend more than a $1,000 on food during the week?

$1000 for food? Even at their prices you'd be living large unless you plan to eat at the most expensive restaurants for every meal and drink like a fish. I think they have something like 50 restaurants on site.
