Upon entering the hotel we were offered a complementary glass of champagne and provided a nice bottle of wine as a welcome gift since I am an premium IHG member.

    Those old hotels are fantastic – I’ve always stayed at the National Hotel when attending the WMC. Such fun & memorable times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    1. Dear Linda, the joke we heard in Las Vegas: a woman complains to her husband, “How can I go out? It’s 104 in the shade!” “So who says you have to walk in the shade, ” he retorts.

      Thank you for stopping by, dear friend!

    1. For my husband and I, there were delicious drinks and lots of fun, since the restaurant is not kosher and we can’t eat there. But Gary and his friends enjoyed the meal.
