Directory maps of the Plaza can be found at the following places:

- Outside the North and South entrances into the Plaza (the South entrance is the one closest to the Adam’s Mark).

- Mezzanine Level: In front of the Plaza Garage elevators.

These maps also show where the ATMs are (there are two), and where the bathrooms are (there’s four sets of those; two for women, two for men).

A final bit of information: As you can see, a lot of the eateries and retail services do not stay open late, or do not open on the weekend. The Plaza shops and restaurants operate the days and hours they do to serve the folks who work mundane, Monday through Friday, 9-5 jobs. If a large enough crowd from a convention being hosted at the Adam’s Mark or the Westin hotel invades the PotA during the weekend, some places will extend their hours; however, that is not a rule set in stone. Please keep in mind that the days and hours of operation listed here are subject to change before or during the convention.

Also note that the Plaza is not a 24/7 place. After 10 p.m. or so, the security crew usually won't allow folks to linger in the atrium unless they're a guest at the Westin - and sometimes not even then. However, it IS a great place to meet up during the morning, afternoon and evening hours, with plenty of tables and chairs surrounding the ice rink, and plenty of places to eat!
