Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It's possible that a TV is not included in the Penthouse suite. One would hope that it is, but Java didn't know. I meant to call and ask earlier today, but things got busy at work and I forgot. I just tried calling and everyone's left for the weekend, so I'll have to try again Monday.

Anyway, if it isn't, we'll need to pay extra for it and it may cost upwards of $125/day.

As I recall, the bartender was $75 for three hours, $25/hour thereafter. Probably the tax/service fee that seems to be added to everything is on top of that.

Okay, so we're wondering about a TV. One would hope that one is there. If it's $125/day we'll end up paying more for the TV in the room than the whole room is costing for the weekend.

Right now, barring a TV rental, it seems like $20 is the right figure.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Anyway, if it isn't, we'll need to pay extra for it and it may cost upwards of $125/day.

To rent a TV? Why on earth? Jeez, you can buy a new one, 27" colour, for $169 at Costco.

Let's say we keep the Bartender for 6 hours, that's $150, we've still got $200 left after that.

Though probably the odd overage, here and there, from those that found some change under the cushions, wouldn't be frowned upon?

Yeah, if it comes to that, free tv for some lucky localista.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm sorry - we're paying WHAT for the penthouse and it might not come with a TV? And if it doesn't we'd have to rent it? First of all, with the amount we're spending over the weekend, they can throw it in. If not, I'm sure a localista would be willing to bring a TV from home.

We probably can't do that. The way that it works in hotels is that they have a pretty exclusive contract with an AV supplier. When Java signed the contract we agreed that we'd use their AV people. That's why the rates are out of control. I used to work for a company that did hotel AV, it's obscene how that industry works.

Do we need to budget a tip for the BT or anyone else?
