This was probably the highlight of the trip. We hiked down and kayaked around the island and the bay. The short hike to Eagle Falls was nice as well. I unfortunately saw no bears.
I rode the mountain coaster and it was a blast. Kind of a short ride for $30, but how often do you get to do something like that? Agreed that the gondola was a little pricey, but the views were worth it, there were also a few paths/trails to hike once up there.
Thew views were still incredible, but I can see where it would be even better with snow.
The only other rec I could throw in for food that hasn't been mentioned is Rojo's tavern. I prefer hole in the wall pub type places, so this was more my speed. We stayed for karaoke Saturday night, there were 4 bachelorette parties in attendance (phone was dead, and didn't get pics), so we heard "Like a Prayer" at least 3 times, but after a couple of edibles, it was entertaining.
Casinos:
Harrah's and Harvey's are both dated, but not the worst I've seen. I mainly play craps, so can't speak much for the other table games. They had $10 tables in the morning, and were bumped up to at least $15 in the evening. Hardrock was definitely newer and nicer. I saw a $5 table there once, but it was minly $10-$15. The Montblue seemed nice and spacious as well.
