Last year I stayed at the W on Lakeshore. Hotel is OK at best imo. Debating whether or not I will be staying there again come May. Actually... I was told I was banned at the W Hotel in Scottsdale AZ, wonder if that applies to all W's from now on....

The one good thing about my stay there was that they were hosting Playboy auditions while I was there, so girls were coming in to do auditions all day for 2 days. I chilled at the bar and just drank and watched girls come in/out.

There was a really beautiful girl who worked the desk at the W, and while the girls were coming in I was making remarks about them all and she loved it. I ended up getting the cute chicks number - of course I got it the day I morning I was leaving and had to attend a convention up until two hours before boarding my flight.

Oh, and I'm not sure how regular it is, but it literally took forever to get back to the airport, I almost missed my flight. Traffic was horrible.

 

I booked my room online, I don't know if they'll add on discounts now, but I'll ask when we check in. Thanks.

Also, are you going to stop by Gold Cost Bentley/Lambo/Bugatti? While we have high end car dealers at home (in Hawaii), their inventory is nothing like that at Gold Coast and to be honest, I'm feeling a little intimidated by it. How exactly do you walk into one of these dealers as someone who obviously isn't serious about purchasing?

 

Yes, I'm planning on going to Gold Coast Bentley. I'm not at all intimidated. I'm a car guy and the employees are presumably car guys. There's definitely some common ground there and I know I'm not the only schlub that pokes around in there just to admire the incredible inventory they have. I'm just hoping they're not set up like Lamborghini of Las Vegas and charge $10 cover just to get in and look around.

 

no cover charge here

I'm ashamed to say I haven't been in there since they completed their remodelling a few years ago. They're currently under new ownership. If you have the time, google Luxury Motors and you'll read some interesting stories, but the Gold Coast store is, for lack of a better term, Golden as far as I know

I"d love to meet you guys there but I work Saturdays

 

I'll probably go see the show room on either the 10th or 11th.. I think those are Wed/Thurs.

 

Oh ok, Al is coming on the weekend I think?

Well I'm off Wednesdays, maybe I will stop by then

 

Yea I think he said he's staying the 6-8th. I'm getting in around noon on the 9th i think. I've never been to Chicago.

 

how long you stayin?

 

Leaving on the 12th unless my gf decides she wants to stay longer.

 

Raul, I'll shoot you a PM with my phone number. Let me know if you want to meet up on Monday late morning/early afternoon. I wish it was open on Sunday...

Right now, I'm planning to leave on the 8th in the afternoon sometime but I'm trying to figure out if I can afford to stay another day or two. It'd be fun if we could all meet up somehow.
