Hopefully Trump's run for presidency won't affect his hotels around the world. A good friend of mine is his #1 guy in charge at the Chicago hotel and also has the job of going to where ever he is building a new hotel and staying there for a couple years to over see the project.

Trump is an amazing businessman who is going to make America great again.

I stayed at Trump Vegas with the family and it was probably the best hotel experience I've had in my life. Maybe business was slow (due to silent boycotts?) but they upgraded me to the "$2500 per night" penthouse for an extra $150 (added to the $89 rate I got through Hotwire). It was unbelievable. Also was comical how Trump had his name plastered on everything, including the bottled water.

I wonder how the hotel is doing financially. For a family it's actually nice because there is no casino (though you are steps from a million other nice ones like the Wynn) so you don't have to walk a mile through a casino to get to your room.

i remember the first time i went to atlantic city, back in the early 90's. AC, LV and Reno/Tahoe were pretty much the only choices you had at that time. but even then i remember getting there and being wildly disappointed in the area, it was not a pleasant place to be. it had none of the glitz and glamour of vegas and seemed like i was surrounded by down and out degenerate gamblers (who probably thought the same of me). i remember being glad when it was time to go. they had bad blackjack rules too. There were a lot of big hotels and casinos there still, but from what i have seen recently i cant think of any reason i would ever go back. The Jersey Shore is a lot of fun in a lot of places, but that town seemed to have a black cloud of despair over it whereas Vegas at least blinded you with false hope. I specifically remember not being at all impressed with the Taj Mahal.

I just hope Trump settles down a bit and pulls back the reigns a tad. I would hate to one day have to tell people that I got married at the modern day equivalent to a Hitler banquet hall in Berlin back in the 30s.

How do you know they had lice?

Anytime I see unclean looking people in inappropriate places(esp. w/bare feet or with rolls of fat exposed) I assume the worst.

Riding the Red Line L a couple of weeks ago, I worried about tuberculosis from a person continually hacking
& coughing, I've grown a bit germ phobic.

I feel like I'm getting a little bit out of touch because I HATE riding the red line and dealing with the usual things you encounter. It used to be entertaining.
