My favorite hotel room to date was a penthouse suite in a casino that cost $6,800 a night. For a mere $550 per night, I received an upgrade. It had a royal feel to it. No matter how much money I had, I could never rationalize paying that much for a hotel room each night.
As my wife and I didn’t have an office and we wanted to meet clients, we celebrated our anniversary with a $300 suite at The Wynn Las Vegas. They gave us a $4,500 suite as an upgrade. We had to clarify to the clients that we had just acquired an upgrade and were not wasting money.
We needed water for the meeting, but the hotel charged $8 for four-ounce water bottles if we ordered them. Rather, I strolled to CVS, purchased a case, and lumbered back.
@Ann Does a $4500 suite not include glasses and drinking tap water?
@Mitchelle Yes, the room included all the amenities, but I had an undetermined number of people coming in for a meeting (it ended up being 8). I wanted to place water bottles at each spot since it was hot outside. The guests were from rural Wyoming, and for half of them, it was their first trip to Las Vegas, so they were quite impressed by the whole setup. They also purchased our product as expected, so it was all worth it.
When you walk in, there’s a giant rotunda with a round table and 20-foot ceilings. To the right, there’s a suite, and to the left, another suite. The place featured a nice kitchen, a beautiful living room, and breathtaking views of the strip through floor-to-ceiling windows with automatic curtains
I’m saying…When I go on vacation, I usually spend all of my time sleeping in my hotel room, so I’m not even awake. I simply don’t see any value at all once you spend enough to avoid having bedbugs or perhaps soiled linens.
