Other industry reports indicated that the in-room, er, adult entertainment was very lucrative for a given property. I wonder how they plan to make up the revenue?
actual revenue wasn't a huge % of the total revenue - but there were free-be's given by the movie/in room entertainment companies which the hotels over the past few years have had to start buying again (in the past 4-5 years these systems went from buying new TV's for the entire hotel and free install to charging HUGE fees for just installing the system, a small 200 room hotel could easily be asked to pay $70K to install the system PLUS the cost of the TV's)
