Oh FFS, some people on here have a real grip of the non-essential, and most aren't entitled to wear a flying suit.

Breakfast down route in growbag - absolutely. Christ on a bike, the USAF (well the ATA) holds a 3 day convention in a major hotel with some 3000 attendees and dress of the day(s) is.....flying suits (or BDUs for the non-entitled).

Op Twenty - I think I stayed in that same motel...for about 20 minutes before the skipper moved us to Bally's and saved 20 bucks a room in the process. The standard hotel (Holiday Inn on Flamingo) was great but is no more methinks. For a while the new standard was the Holiday Inn Casino Boardwalk on the Strip.

Btw, when do we start the 'why do FJ pilots get to stay at the Wynn when the truckies are slumming it in a La Quinta/Residence Inn (insert perfectly acceptable chain hotel as appropriate)' thread?

Rant over!
