You made me laugh. a lot.

We have an FTer in house who hopes to see the suite before she checks out. It was booked Saturday night when I was there. We could weave stories about who the clients might be for this room. College frat boys who have great hopes? Then, again, it's likely best that I not know.

I've now done a bit of research and learned that the Andaz San Diego in its Ivy incarnation was the first hotel in the nation (world?) to have a stripper pole. See this article also. Since then, stripper poles have been installed in the Apex Suite at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, the Erotic Suite at Palms Las Vegas, and briefly, the Dorchester Hotel in London for Britney Spears to work out. The Andaz Star Suite rents for about $1100 per night.
