Super Bowl - Ritz Carlton NO $4k or $5,500 per night
Need a room for the Super Bowl in New Orleans this weekend? One just opened at the Ritz Carlton for $5,500.... oops, also a room for $4,000/night, a suite no less. Of course if you're on a budget you can book the Courtyard for only $2,000 night. What's amazing is that while the room rate is jacked up 10 times the normal rate at the Ritz... but parking is a real bargain at $40... wonder why that's not marked up to $400 night? Guess it wouldn't look good. I wonder if anyone actually books these rooms at those rates?

and you didn't know the SB venue nor date of the game long before this when inventory was available throughout the city???????? just proves the old adage that those who wait lose, or in this case, pay thru the nose.......

as an avid NFL-ite, I fully recognize that the 2 teams heading for the Big Show are not determined until 2 weeks before the actual game, but that being said the teams getting into the playoffs were known in December at which time resees could have more easily been made and a final determination of using the resee if your team made it to the Big Show used or if not that's why they have a CXL resee option............

If you're dropping 5k+ on superbowl tickets, you're most likely in a class of people that could care less about having a $4500 hotel room at the Ritz.
