- That can not be officially endorsed or tolerated by the hotels can it? Can it?
I'd think I'd just seen someone put their hand in the till...
Feel free to ignore this information, and enjoy your street level view of the garbage cans, while someone who knows about the trick enjoys the big room on a high floor facing the thing you'd like to see out your window. I was just trying to be helpful.
This is a well known phenomenon, especially in places like Las Vegas. You may have seen something similar in movies, where a bill handed to the Maître d' at a nice restaurant gets you a good table?
