The Bar/Lounge at Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa

"The problem is, who are "they"? The place attracts an uncanny mix of characters: the 45-plus Architectural Digest crowd, who favor a more resortlike experience and dig the Italianate architecture, patterned fabrics, and Bubble Bath Concierge; and the 25-40 Wallpaper set, who sex up the eight-acre sandy pool playground by day and the DJ-spinning Whiskey Bar by night"

"If I had my family in tow, a meal at the Original Pancake House or the food court would have been my first choice, but as a solo traveler I was able to try the delicious steaks at the modern-chic restaurant, Hank’s, which also offers a lively piano lounge"

"Join a country-club crowd of conventioneers, locals and families here at this barely sophisticated Mediterranean-style hotel"

"In its third expansion, the former boutique-style resort with the Argentinian cattle baron motif has doubled its guestroom capacity, improved the gambling options, and added a 500-seat entertainment lounge"

"And when you upgrade to one of 80 luxury suites, your square footage increases immensely, from 695 square feet to the behemoth 4,000-square-foot Penthouse, all of which have ultra-comfortable beds, marble bathrooms, and in-room martini bars"

"One of its best advantages is its adjacency to The District, a walkable outdoor dining and retail zone, and an increasingly terrific restaurant program: Tides Oyster Bar is where locals know to get fantastic (and huge) portions of fresh seafood, plus, like Red Rock it’s getting a multimillion-dollar restaurant reno"

"Sprawling pool area arranged by beach, cabana, lounge, topless sunbathing areas and infinity pools"

"Most of the restaurants adjoin bars or lounges and feature popular dining trends, with Hank's for steak and seafood, and early risers—or all-night partiers—enjoy the inviting Grand Cafe House"

"The presence of the ultra-hip Lobby Bar is just one example"
