Perfect setting for someone who has a banana and a Woodford for breakfast on flights. Perchance did you flambee some bananas in your hotel suite kitchen?

Yes, I am thank you. Amazing what a little Woodford can do to relax the shoulder muscles.

Very nice.

We take our Woodford very seriously. Even had The Monkey guarding it at one of the suite parties.



and the food spread for suite party #1 :

Well one thing this video absolutely, finally and totally settles is your lack of "low-roller" status.

I know a thing or two about LAS comps and have gotten suites similar in size and amenities to yours. And I am a low-roller.

Mine, however, did not come with a bartender/butler, fully stocked bar with premium spirits and wines and hot and cold hors d'oeuvres.

And we didn't even get to see the French maid who was drawing your bath.

That's what truly separates the high-rollers from the low-rollers.

You doth protest too much. No matter how much you deny it going forward we now know the truth.

I volunteer to help with your luggage on your next trip.

If there's anyone going to be there on that date, I would be thinking mersk862.

The PHL RCC is particularly deficient (nicest thing I could think to say).

Rather than not noticing Winfield, AL? I haven't even heard of the town/city.

And a good afternoon to The Lounge™ from the Renaissance Rue de Parnasse where I am taking a break from meetings in the EC down the street. One thing about Brussels is that the city is very expensive, especially in the European Quarter in which lunch at Poivre et Sal cost around 30 Euros per person. At least I have my T & E form ready to go on my computer so I can keep a running total.

For dinner, we are probably going to head near the Centraalstation or Zuidstation, but before we can even think about that, I have to give a presentation with regards to public debt financing and infrastructure reforms.

Transferring in FRA was an interesting experince insofar that I was able to clear customs and immigration control in under 20 minutes. It was some solace to the PHL-FRA, in which the inflight power was not working and the AVOD had to be reset at least 4 times...and the strange part was that it was a new A333, which was substituted for a 767-200. But other than that the Envoy Sleeper is comparable to the BE Sleeper. The SN connection out of FRA was on a Avro RJ-85 operated by LH Cityline--I do enjoy the Avro mainly because of the design and the fact that there are no thrust reversers.

But now, back to the fun that is international emergency financing...

I am unfortunately in Minneapolis that day - a friend from college is getting married (conveniently up here) that weekend and I am hosting quite a few of my friends flying up at my apartment that weekend (before going to a Delta/AmEx event in the Twin Cities that afternoon).

I currently have a reservation (actually two back to back reservations) at Planet Hollywood for immediately after the Delta Do.

I was comped for the first five nights and given very good rates for the last two.

Still, I have been placed in an ordinary room -- just as if I were an ordinary person.

I can't understand this, as I consider myself a very high roller. (I have not been to Vegas since 1978, but I did visit Atlantic City twice -- once with the BAG and once with the Beautiful Brunette.) The BAG visit was about 8 years ago, but the BB visit was in June.

True, I stayed with the BB in Philadelphia, and treated her to lunch in Atlantic City at a cheapo restaurant, but I did drop $200 on the penny slots.

I think it would be an excellent idea for Cholula and/or baccarat_king to correct this major miscarriage of justice by contacting their favorite Vegas casinos and arranging for me to get comped in a suite for the entire week.

Dovster

Is that in downtown Newark?

Hey Lounge Rats...long time no see! Still all the usual suspects hanging around here, I see.

Although you're not in RDU that weekend, isn't it nice to have someone to immediately think of you in your second home city / airport?

Need to hang around more to keep up with everything tangentially related to DL.

And the ATL DL Do is quickly becoming epic ^

mersk862

It's scary to think that RDU has already become my second home airport and I haven't even started the runs yet.

Though today is payday, which means more RDU bookings to make.

icurhere2

I had been booking one BNA run per week recently - only have about $140 left in VDB credit so this pattern will stop until my Platinum choice (next week) and Diamond choices (when AmEx statement closes).

Cholula

I'm going to predict that you don't make the whole five comped nights.

Once they watch in horror at your $2.00 a day max gambling spend, they'll probably lock you out of the room. Or, more likely, you'll be met by a couple of goons with no necks who will play a tune on your no-roller noggin.

In the event you do make it the entire stay without a visit from Vinnie and Guido, I seriously doubt there will be any comps in your future.

But since you only visit LAS every 32 years that won't be a serious issue.


Hey, great to see you 'bro!

Hope all is well in your world and that you're still racking the SM's.

We miss you around these parts.
