Ted,
Hope you don't plan on going public with that attitude!

Safe & happy trips to you!

Ah yes The Venetian! IMhO the best hotel for the money in the world. Worn? Ok, by Las Vegas standards maybe, but when I'm there I'm the magnifico!! (And I know i really aint!) I'll never forget the room, the view, making love with curtains fully open and the volcano from Mirage exploding!!! Ahhhh.. Ok maybe I'm a little biased.

Ted, I'm an auditor for the IRS--I'd like to schedule an audit of your company.

Can I say that on Fodors?

Write-Offs? now theres something I could tell you about. Me & the I.R.S. had a little disagreement about them several years back. Guess who won.

GoTravel, Los Flamingos, huh?

Leona, I'm starting to lose the point of what you're saying. "Luxury is in the eye of the beholder" you say. Of course, but it doesn't get much argument from anyone that a Bellagio is more luxurious thana Holiday Inn, or a Venetian is more luxurious than a Courtyard by Marriott. Most people whether in the hotel business or not, should easily be able to tell the difference between a luxury hotel and a Motel 6! Are you saying that you don't agree those hotels have more luxury than others? I'm not asking you to restate whether or not you care about luxury, but surely you can tell the difference between an economy motel and a luxury hotel!! So for someone who DOES appreciate luxury, I think the point I was making makes some sense.
