and since I'm totally wound up from probably 10 cups of coffee another question I know at nice shoes they used to do the show there and then meet at patios have they combined everything at bash now I hope Temptations gave you Jen and Kyle and Jannet and Steve executor positions at Temptations for really giving us a day-by-day on it's opening and what a promoting you did for Temptations they should be deeply grateful as all of us are we can't thank you enough
No problem. As you can probably tell I enjoy talking TTR yes, they still have the casino tables during lingerie night. Spread out around the outside Bash area. There was a lot of participation.
yes, everything is at Bash now. The replacement for nice shoes and the sports bar is going to be a bigger nicer sports bar. They are still working on that and gave us an estimate of 3-4 weeks when we asked opening day. Not sure if they will move part of the fun on lingerie night there or keep it at Bash.
Seems odd that the sports bar is taking so long. With so much manpower, and it being inside work, with very little construction. This seems like something that easily could have been done.
I imagine its because it is not a priority and rooms are at this point. It may not actually take them that much longer to finish it, I think I saw on Facebook it was already open.
Based on what Kyle said, there may be too many distractions around for the workers to be efficient lol.
I get that it must not have been a priority. It just seemed to me location wise, size of project.. etc it's something that could easily been worked on even during the demo of the old hotel, and had it ready for soft opening. Maybe they wanted the soft opening focused solely on the Bash, and didn't want to split up the smalller than full capacity crowd? Just keeping the thread alive and making conversation.
Possibly. Technically it has been 2 weeks now. There were a lot of people working on it. Hopefully some recent returnees can weigh in.
We went to the hotel Saturday to watch the boxing, it was shown in the Sports Bar. I couldn't see anything there that looked unfinished.
LL, that's a cool sentiment, but it's off target - with regard to the limited number of properties. The Premier Memberships come with (or, Can come with, I think is more accurate) a corresponding RCI or SFX membership, in which you can shift weeks at TTR/DP and/or DRM into the SFX sharing protocol, and then go just about anywhere (location-wise, maybe not individual property-wise) that you'd like to go for much, much less than standard daily rates. This is the reason that we did it, actually. I had already booked/paid-for a trip to maui for 4 people, all costs involved figured in the trip was ~$12K USD. 4 flights from Houston to Maui, 2 king rooms for 7 days. Daily allotment of vittles & libations and fun/games/entertainment. The middle piece, lodgings (Sheraton Black Rock by way of example for the time frame we had available to go) was, for calculation purposes ~$475 per room per night. So, ~$950/night for two rooms, or ~$6,650/week for the rooms! Ouchie! So, having already bled out that ~$6650, when Luis looked up other properties in the SFX program on Maui we could have stayed at, there were Many properties with 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartment designs for ~$500/week! So, yes, he was saying I could have saved over Six Grand on the rooms, and ended up with actually a better room than the Sheraton, which was in the end, just aregular old hotel room. So, I put this exact scenario into practice the following August (2013) and we got the 2-bedroom on Maui, saved the ~$6K and paid $550 for a week at the Maui Schooner complex in Kihei. So far, since 2014, I've also done this a couple other times for trips to St. Martin, and have visited on the phone with people who've done it ont he other Caribbean islands, South America, Europe and Australia. So, my point is, not so limited. Sorry dumb people come off as condescending. I go back to the ticket level pricing. If someone wants to go to the game for the experience, and they want to pay ~$25 bucks for their seat, sit in the upper deck/nosebleeds, and are content witht hat experience as for the price they paid, cool. If, like us, we want to sit 5th row, end zone, an be right down int he middle of the action... but are comfortable witht he sting of paying five times as much for the seat... there you go. Neither one makes one set of people better, wiser, cooler, dumber, cheaper, more thrifty or smarter than anyone else. To me, it's just an illustration of individual financial vs. entertainment priorities. I do think that we made a good decision. We've paid in what seems like a ridiculous amount of money to Original Resorts... but I've made, in just 4 years-ish, literally half of the original principal amounts in direct savings I can calculate, since we Were going to travel anyway, so why not do it this way? By the time Stacia turns 50, I bet we'll be in about a couple of years.
