Speaking of, is $600/day for room, 3 meals, and some activities (but NOT spa services) decent?
I think that sounds a little steep, depending on the activities. If you think about how much you spend on meals a day, it sounds over the top.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

If I break it down I think maybe it's high, but not too bad:
$200 - room
$100 - food
$65 per - classes - my guess is I would avg 3/day
$495 would be my baseline - $100 off.

That seems cheap if it's a place known for good food. IIRC, Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires was way more than that. And I recently checked the Inn at Blackberry Farm in the Smokies and it was more than double that.

But it's right by Dollywood! That's worth something.

Dude, someday I will go to Dollywood and it will be epic.
Ok, I think I have a frontrunner then - 2011 spa long weekend. I shall start saving.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I can't even begin to get started about the futility of a third world country depending on tourism as a source of foreign income. We're hosed that way, and we're pretty good at it.
New Orleans is pretty good at tourism, too. Bottom line -- Jobs, often seasonal, pay generally not too good.

I feel like I should own something with a houndstooth pattern. I have argyle socks, but no houndstooth.

Question for them that know Vegas - what hotels are super close to ceasar's palace? Like, next door and not as expensive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In the late '60s you could buy a Mercury Cougar with a houndstooth vinyl roof.

Also drawing on the New Orleans comparison, lots of resources are deployed to keep the tourists safe and happy. Residents? Eh.
