Not great but there's no computer store in my city selling loss-leader items.

I am down to very few choices as well if I want instant gratification. Beyond the office supply places we have Best Buy and Microcenter. :rolleyes:

Best Buy almost never is.

Instant gratification, IMO, is overrated when delayed gratification results in RDM's.

Greetings from Courtyard Marriott downtown.

How is the Boardroom? Worth going? When do they close?

I'm on the red eye tomorrow.

it is right about C6, brown door with frosted glass, ring the bell they will let you in.
closes at 9pm, I am on the redeye but headed on in on the MAX because it was getting dark and rainy. I walked by you earlier today exploring downtown :p

BTW you will have to go through TSA at D, walk out of there and turn to the left down the LONG hallway to C turn to the right, and you can handle it from there.

I would (grudgingly) pass on miles for that, sure.

The Hilton in Hurghada, Egypt is $250/night. Or 20K HH points/night. Yeah, even I know that's a good deal on points.

I think the Rogue brewpub is open until 10. It's in D.

Thanks for the tips!
