I think you did ok, given the current market (which isn't to say that my evaluation won't be different in several months). A friend of mine is in charge of planning a VIP delegation for a Fortune 500 company and she paid $1,500 per night for the Trader's (a 4 star Shangri-La) plus a minum spend F&B spend of $200.... for 200 rooms. Openning Cermony tickets now command $1000 a piece; we've been given a few, but we plan on passing them on to important clients simply because they're goodwill currency value is higher than their value to us.
