Don't get me wrong, boys...there IS something to the view.
I think
@TheMaxRebo has it nailed: it's always been the "wake up"...that is the best part about on property. I prefer running...but my favorite places/times are the crescent lake area and downtown pre-opening...been outfront at MGM many times and since magic bands have been running through the showcase on a couple occasions...which is technically a no-no but it's happened.
I like the views as much as the next cat. But in the case of contemporary...they've increased the cost tenfold over its history and THEN added About $200 a night for "views"...the economics are off and I can't ignore that. And it's not a experiment in Laisse Faire...just consumer mentality out of whack.
But I digress...point is that the only "true" fireworks views - because they design them based on angles and launch points...is like Tongo or Fiji at the poly...which is a little bit too low. That dvc tower that they're gonna build, however? Bigtime point upcharges for that..."hypothetically"
