3.00It is no longer on the rooftop of the hotel. It is on the ground. We were not informed of the change finally found the event after looking for it was in a very long line. Show was good could not see fireworks as we were unable to get close enough. Very disappointing, confusion on where to go caused stress that took away ability to fully enjoy the show. Show staff would not refund as we did not schedule with them

2.00The dancing was very nice, but the buffet dinner and the location on top of the parking garage was less than desirable, especially for the cost of the event. I would not recommend.
