Close to none, I brought in a lot with me, and they barely asked any questions as we were leaving. Customs was really easy and relaxed there, they even have live music in the immigration's hall.

Hyatt pushed their grand opening back. Again. Scrambling to book Atlantis.  Beyond the "deals" on their website, any suggestions? Looking for a room in a nicer tower.
