After this disaster WHY would anyone follow this person's blog (I had to google it having never read it)? And why would Boarding area want anything to do with this blogger?
The only loyal followers would be a bunch of misinformed/clueless dolts out for getting "free" stuff on their once a year family outing. NOTHING "Influential" about this blogger or her followers.
Oh well, another blog I never have to look at again

ADDED: After reading this discussion, I found those two blog posts and was shocked that she would repeatedly complain so much about having to pay a taxi fare from the airport to a hotel on the Strip. LAS is one of the closest airports around and if the taxi driver doesn't try to go the long way around, it's a very cheap ride. Yeah, maybe the hotel should have sent the limo for her, but surely she should be able to afford a small taxi fare on a business trip. The cost of that taxi was probably only about 10% of the commission she gets for each credit card application she hawks through the blog and would be tax deductible as a business expense (as I presume are the hair stylist, makeup application, and dress rental for the Freddies, in addition to the two suites, her airfare, her food, and all other local transportation).
For her inconvenience, she also got a $100 discount from one hotel (on top of FHR and Noir benefits) and $75 in food credit at the other, each for a one night stay. Not too bad, although she thinks the $100 wasn't enough.
Most people would be a bit more grateful for comped Noir status when they don't spend money at these casino hotels.
