To answer some of your questions:

-This guest has exactly 3 letters on his credit card.
-It was NOT an AMEX plat. or anything, just the regular one, and the AMEX people were not helpful at all because I could not verify his billing address (I didn't have it).
-I will be out of town for a few days, but I'll post another story soon.

I flew IAD to ORD across the aisle from him while his certain hit TV show was still on. Wore tons of gold, and slept the whole way.

The question isn't "what are we going to do," the question is "what aren't we going to do?"

Seems to fit the profile. Remember how they had to put him to sleep on the show to get him on an airplane since he had a phobia?

Story 2:

One summer during baseball season we had several players from the New York Mets staying in the hotel. One player in particular who was previously a Los Angeles Dodger and has also done shampoo commercials provided me with some entertainment one evening.
I was working third shift for someone as a favor on the second night this gentlemen was staying in the hotel.
At apporxiamately 1:15am he came swaggering in with a 5'3" Asian woman (5'7" with the shoes she was wearing) under his arm. A new friend? Hooker? You decide.
Good evening Mr. _________________, I said.
He just nodded and gave me the biggest grin http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/biggrin.gif I've ever seen.
Already amused, I was surprised to see his name and room number pop up on the phone screen about 5 or 10 minutes later.
It was the young lady: "Do you guys sell condoms?" she asked.
"Absolutely" I replied "I'd be happy to have them delivered to your suite."
"Yeah, that'd be great" she said and hung up.

Explaining the situation to my co-workers, I assured them that I had the situation under control, and I retrieved the requested item from the gift shop, placed it discreetly into a paper bag, and headed for the elevators.
I knocked on the suite door and it took about 30 seconds or so, but finally I heard the door being unlocked.
The door opened to Mr. _________ wearing only what the good lord gave him. Yep, buck nekkid. He smiled, "thanks" he said, and handed me a $20 bill, grabbed the bag and shut the door quickly.
I naturally reported the story to my coworkers and we all had a good laugh.

There is a video screen in the back office showing the lobby, so we can see if anybody needs assistance.
About ten minutes - 15 minutes TOPS - after my delivery, we saw the young lady walking through the lobby on her way out of the hotel. "That was quick," was one of my coworkers' comments. Indeed.

I'm sure there will be plenty of witty comments to follow this story. I'll even get you started:

I guess he gave new meaning to the word "shortstop" http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/wink.gif

Pity the poor fool! http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/biggrin.gif

At least we now know he's not gay.

Or maybe he IS and that's why she left so soon?

I love the stories! http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/biggrin.gif

Well, more stories have been requested.

There was a fairly well known rock band whose name is synonymous with Flacid Cookie, who advertised the fact that they "did it all for the nookie" staying at the hotel one night. Now rock bands can be a real pain in the *ss because they have tons of roadies (like 12 or 15) and then they always end up bringing all sorts of people back to the hotel with them. I met some of these folks, they were....ummm....interesting.

Well, they played their show and then obviously did a severe amount of partying afterwards. So about 4am they all come stumbling back into the hotel and couldn't remember what rooms they were in. (they are reusable keys, so they don't have #s on them). Well, a couple of the roadies, convinced their friends were locking them out, tried to get into a room occupied by two little old ladies. First they tried their keys, then they tried banging on the door, then they tried kicking it in.
These poor ladies were so scared, they called security. After much arguing the roadies left, still claiming that it was their room. The bus left at 6am and they were all gone.

The next morning I got to check these ladies out. The were the stereotypical rich old ladies. Probably thought rock and roll was evil. It was a true clashing of young and old. I tried not to smile as they explained their horror story. I explained they were a rock band and wouldn't be staying here again, and apologized. They complained about it for another 5 minutes or so, until I got the manager to compensate them.
They actually used the word "hooligans" twice. I have to admit I was amused. It really was kinda funny.

Ok, safe travels. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif

Ok I have one as well that happened last Saturday.

I work on a VERY part time basis for a Major Hotel Chain (you know the college student trying to make some money on the weekends). They need Banquet Bartenders on the weekends, I know how to bar tend so they have me tending Bar 9/10 times when they ask me to work. Anyway they had a group of 400 High Schoolers in the 'Future Politicians of America' Club or something like that. Anyway they obviously did not need a bartender so they asked me to be a server for their dinner reception. I had no problem with is as they said I would be out at 8:00 PM. Anyway I knew nothing was going on tonight so I said that if they needed me I could stay later. Well as you can imagine a bunch of 400 Teenagers in a very upscale hotel with regular guests can shall we say create some noise issues. So the Human Resources Manager who was the Manager on Duty came up to me at 7:45 PM and asked if I can stay and help with Security with the Noise Issues. He said I would be done by 12:30 AM. I said no problem. The pay is Excellent (I make 11.25 an Hour as well as the HR Director said he would pay me time and a half if I stayed) so I had no problem. He issued me a walkie talkie and asked me to take care of floors 2-5.

Anyway I was using the stairs to make the rounds making sure everything was in order. To get to the stairwell is weird. They have the guest corridor which past the last room on each floor curves to the right straigt for a few feet and then turns left to get to the stairwell making for a nice little private area. Anyway I am coming down the stairs swung open the door for the 3rd floor and there in front of my eyes I see a teenage couple. This teenage couple was not talking about world events but getting to know each other's anatamy a little better. There he was standing with his pants down and the girl was completely nude. They had no time to react as I swung the door open and there were the three of us standing looking at each other. They turned completely red in embarrasement as I continued walking telling them.."Ahh, can you get a room?" I saw them later on, and they did not know how to react.

After that it was mostly a quiet night with the kids well behaved. I shooed a few of them in their rooms when they were loud but I had no problems and the chaperones had to seem have everything in place. Anyway around 12:10 AM I got a call from the front desk, "Mark go to 545 we are calling 911. The room called one of the students needs to go to the hospital." I was on the 4th floor and jetted up to the fifth. When I got to the room I knocked on the door and went in. What I found was a girl passed out on the ground covered in a pool of vomit who was paler than a ghost. I asked what happened to the other 7 girls in the room and they said she hit her head, passed out, and threw up. I checked the girl out, she had a pulse, was moving around, but was not talking with her eyes closed. When I bent down to check her vitals I could very easily smell alchohol on her and on the other 7 girls in the room. It was a connecting bedroom. The other Security Personnel came up and I asked if I could search the room. The girls said 'why and no you can't without a warrant'. I told them, "that 911 has been called, when you call an ambulance (911) a police car as well comes. Do you want me to ask you again to search the room or do you want the police officer to ask you if he can search your room?" At this point ALL of them were about to **** their pants. They mumbled go ahead and it took me about 10 seconds to find the Bottle of Absolut they had. This bottle was about 8/10 ths empty. Not only did they have a bottle of Absolut but as I was rumming through I noticed some water bottles. Guess what was in those water bottles? Some Rum. I took this and gave it to the Manager on Duty who thanked me once again. It turns out that the girl was 15 the teacher could not chaperone the trip and a girls mother was the chaperone. I was let go after this so I am not sure the outcome, but I was interviewed by the police what I did in this incident.

The 'Future Politicians of America' sure are getting good training with the sex and booze at their meetings. I guess they want to be like the real ones

Good story I LOVE EWR. So am I to assume that the alcohol was removed from the room before the police arrived and that was pretty much the end of that aspect of the story?
