Even after the announcement someone started to walk down the aisle during C/B’s RD and I was going to tackle them but the people behind me yelled at them to sit first lol.
Hehe. Yep, it is lowclass, tacky, and the worst of Vegas to me. That's probably why I'm okay with it and kind of like it!! lolI didn’t think the Orleans was so bad. It is what it is
Yep! There’s a sort of authentic real smokey Vegas to feel to it. More Golden Nugget than “adult” corporate Disney World style night clubs disguising themselves as entertainment centers that exists on the Strip. Both are garish and tacky but in different ways.Hehe.

My room got cleaned every day without request?And the fact that the hotel charge the resort fee but can’t bother to clean your room pretty much tells me that they don’t ever need my money again
Oh no this has nothing to do with Covid, this is called savings.I didn’t think the Orleans was so bad. It is what it is, and a lot of hotels have adopted the cleaning room upon request only since the Demic. Granted I’ve only spent most of my time at the Orleans sleeping and going elsewhere for fun in-between the skating. The ticket stuff at the box office was a nice surprise and I had my Ticketmaster transfer issue solved by some seriously nice box office people. Just don’t eat the gumbo at Big Al’s Oysters. The second worst meal I’ve had in Vegas.
I think you’re totally right. The thing was just an excuse to start more cost saving and price gouging measures. It’s like the airport now.Oh no this has nothing to do with *********, this is called savings.
If you can open your casino fully, open your theatre, open your arena etc. don’t use ********* as an excuse for service cuts. Or at least cut your “resort” fee
Hotels have discovered this is a great way to save money. 5 years from now some will be using the same excuse
I consider lowclass and tacky the best of Vegas personallyHehe. Yep, it is lowclass, tacky, and the worst of Vegas to me. That's probably why I'm okay with it and kind of like it!! lol
Hehe! I grew up ten minutes from Atlantic City. So not only do I have the South Jersey trash in me, but the Atlantic City tackiness!! I love AC!!!! They should host Skate America again! That was an awesome competition. I felt at home. lolI consider lowclass and tacky the best of Vegas personally
Do you mind if I ask where you grew up? I am the next town down from AC.Hehe! I grew up ten minutes from Atlantic City.

Northfield. My father was mayor from 81-86 ish. I was friends with Mike Matthews' kids.Do you mind if I ask where you grew up? I am the next town down from AC.
Small world. Did you go to Mainland?Northfield. My father was mayor from 81-86 ish. I was friends with Mike Matthews' kids.
I volunteer at the MLB Spring Training games in Arizona. I've been fighting for years to have the ushers stop visitors from going down the aisles when a player is at bat. It's been a losing battle. Thanks for getting the announcement made. It's not fair to the skaters and audience.Even after the announcement someone started to walk down the aisle during C/B’s RD and I was going to tackle them but the people behind me yelled at them to sit first lol.
United? Name and shame!I liked Vegas so much I'm staying here overnight. Just kidding. They delayed and then canceled our flight. And have not told us what to do about it. But, hey, I have a $100 credit on a future flight! This isn't the first time they've canceled a flight. Why aren't they tell us where our luggage is and how to get it and offering us a voucher for a hotel room? (There aren't any other flights tonight so we're stuck here until morning.)
Yes. I got back from the exhibitions about half hour ago. They were good. They included as many skaters as possible, regardless of their placement. Since the SA field is small compared to worlds/nationals, it worked. They tried to include at least One skater from each country. So we got to see Frenchman Fa, Czech Brezina, some low ranking US skaters, etc. (Example ice dancers Molly C. And Yehorov, Liu/O'Shea, etc.). I don't think there was anyone from Italy In the Ex.Are the exhibitions tonight?
Riku posted to her IG that the scrape/cut/injury to her knee in the FS yesterday was bad enough that they decided to pass on skating in the exhibition so that they could instead get in shape for NHK in 3 weeks.The Japanese pairwas a no show. I don't know why.
I love AC!!!! They should host Skate America again!
People were walking down and walking through rows to get to their seats while the skating was going on. I thought it was rather rude. They should have waited until the performance ended.Even after the announcement someone started to walk down the aisle during C/B’s RD and I was going to tackle them but the people behind me yelled at them to sit first lol.
It was Alaska but it wasn't their fault. The Bay Area is completely hosed right now due to something called a bomb cyclone. The road to our house was closed due to rocks and debris, the freeway is closed too because of flooding. And there were power outages everywhere.United? Name and shame!

The only issue I have is that they are only giving us a hotel room for 1 night. They will pay for the other nights after the fact but we are about to be kicked out of our hotel because they have no rooms! Apparently, Vegas is totally slammed with people. So now I have to find another hotel room and work on getting an earlier flight.
That sounds awful. My shuttle driver mentioned a storm in CA but I didn't realize it was in the Bay Area. My niece who lives in the Bay Area is visiting the east coast right now.
