Just got back from the Staples Center SPG Suite and thought I'd report back. It said snacks provided, but there was a full catering really. Tonight it was a selection of three meatballs (the Thai/Mexican ones were really good) with rolls, roasted veggies, a hearty (vegan) salad, some pasta dish, and roast chicken w/ potatoes. The usual bar snacks too (peanuts/chips/pretzels). For drinks there was a fridge of water, soda, and wine. And another of beer (Goose Island IPA, Corona, Heineken, Stella, some domestic). And perhaps best of all, Staples has a crazy dessert cart in the suite sections and SPG let everyone choose one. There was a Starwood rep there the whole time assisting with anything. We were given purple SPG hockey pucks too. A steal for 15K. Kicking myself for missing the bidding on the Lightning game (they went as low as 8K) and not getting the Ducks game when it was offered (it appears to have been pulled).
