Seems like the remaining issues are ensuring there is enough exit room on the BC Place concourse (since the project will block part of the concourse), and a shift in the angle of the tall tower which caused it to encroach on a view cone.
Here are some floorplans. I'm disappointed there's no "show theatre" like at River Rock.
Ground floor with Hotel lobbies and BC Place loading docks:

Level 7 - Tower floorplates:
Note the two south towers are connected, requiring only one elevator core.
Also note that the tall tower (closest to BC Place, has no rooms fronting the Northern Lights display).

Here's the view cone encroachment (right hand edge of envelope)
requiring a shifting or redesign of the taller tower.

The
Landscape Plans shows the
pedestrian circulation around the site and though the building.
So when you hit the dead-end on the councourse, you should continue through the building to get to Pacfic Blvd:
