All Things Battle 4 Atlantis 2026

[Jay Bee]

I hate the stupid format and for two games, was thinking this was a no for me, but now I'm entertaining the thought again.

MU travel pros - please give us thoughts.

All of the Atlantis properties look pricey... money ain't no thang for a balla like me, but I'm still frugal. There's a chance I would go SOLO to this. Small chance a girl would go with me. Stay options (maybe Monday - Sunday) would be an Atlantis proper spot, Comfort Suites (that, as I understand, has access rights to most/all of the Atlantis private stuff), or RIU (all inclusive??). Any insights on stay considerations I should make, please advise.

Are the water parks and other attractions at Atlantis cool or dumb if you're not a kid? What other activities are there besides eat and drink (which I love btw)? What activities are good around that area as a whole, outside of Atlantis? Are 7 days including 2 travel days too much or too little? How much should I expect to spend on tickets to games? Any known or expected Marquette-sponsored events? Would lean toward no car - easy to get around, yes?

There are pickleball courts at Atlantis, but the programming looks dumb and would potentially need to find other players and reserve a court together to get some real play in. Any pickleball courts accessible on the island by the public?

Food & drink - grocery stores, markets, booze stores? Easy to eat 'cheap' if desired?

The other "division" doesn't entice me -- Memphis, Miss St., Penn St., Wake, but the women's group has some teams.. Notre Dame (yuck), Florida.. WVa, Davison.

The water parks are perfect for solo travel for a mid 50s guy.

Did a girl give you the nickname "Small Chance"?

Seriously, you asked some decent questions. Will be interested to see if you get any decent answers.

Woah. There are some solid looking VRBO options out there, it appears

The aquarium is pretty cool. Though they got really cranky when I went diving in the lobster tank.
The waterpark is OK but keep in mind. I'm spoiled with water parks here in Florida. The coolest thing is the slide through the Shark Tank.
Mrs pbiflyer and a friend stayed at the comfort suites. It was a while ago and said it took a little bit of time to get to Atlantis. But for the price difference, they waited.

One thing to keep in mind is that all of the dining options at Atlantis make Vegas strip hotel restaurants look inexpensive.
Beaches are pretty nice.

I'm not a big fan of Nassau across the bridge. Being in Atlantis is like being on a Vegas casino strip pretty self-contained and you have to go somewhere elsewhere.
Most activities other than the beach tend to be pricey. Great fishing in the area though. Probably can do a nice snorkel trip as well. Swim with pigs is nearby (no not the ugly chicks at the swim up bar)
