Sweet Hut
Possibly the most popular stop for guests and visitors alike is the Sweet Hut with ice cream cones (try the chocolate-dipped ones cones), caramel and candied apples, roasted cinnamon-and-sugar almonds, chocolates, and seasonal sweets such as pumpkin spice ice cream and candy eyeballs for Halloween.
Ivory Coast
Right in the lobby area but with a nice tucked-away feel, this restaurant often has $1.99 kids' meals with each adult meal (you'll pay that amount for a drink) plus a tasty lineup of salads and sandwiches, breakfast and dinner entrees. You can order kids' meal standards or go for their fresh twist on PBJs: a build-your-own with waffles instead of bread and gummy worms for fun. The Asian salad comes piled high in between layers of fried wontons.
Damon's Grill
This energetic restaurant near the Desert Star Cinema is known for its ribs, onion loaf, and the tableside controls that let you decide which of the large-screen TVs you want to hear (usually sports) and play interactive trivia. There are healthy dining options, as well, such as grilled Aloha chicken.
Kahunaville
Think tropics-meets-Vegas here as bartenders put on a nightly show of juggling flying bottles and know how to add flair to any drink order. This restaurant, inside the Sands complex, is known for its stir fry, which arrive at your table looking like a take-out box spilling across a plate.
Great Karoo
The caveat here is the view of the water park through its huge windows that makes it easy for early-risers to dream about which slides they'll tackle while eating pancakes and eggs. While many items cater to kids and their more predictable tastes, many entrees appeal to adults, such as char-grilled salmon marinated with vanilla and mint served with cranberry hollandaise sauce and asparagus or African spice-rubbed char-grilled steak wrapped in bacon served with five-cheese ravioli.
Nina's Coffee and Pastries
If guests want something light and quick like sandwiches, gourmet Carr Valley cheese, pastries, cookies and desserts, this is the place to come. It's also popular for morning coffee drinks.
