Ecco. Jesus H. Christ. I've never felt so uncool at a place that had so little to offer. But on the plus side, I did gain an insight into why the Kardashians are so popular. Americans have always had an attraction to the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. It's based on the premise that these peoples' lives are more glamorous than ours. And sure, in some ways they are... their food is better, their views are nicer, their cars' engines are quieter than ours. Paying $500 for an Alain Ducasse meal is way outside my reality, but I could imagine doing it if I had the money and the food really was that good. There's a qualitative difference there that anyone could pick out, even if they wouldn't realistically pay that kind of money for ANY dinner. What's new, and wholly unappetizing, is this attraction to wild squandering, utterly moronic wastefulness. This is about paying $500 for $75 worth of drinks, with the sole difference being that only other people who can afford to vomit up cash like that are allowed in the room. But on the plus side, they built their bullshit pad out of recycled materials. The trees must be grateful they didn't have to be cut down for the purpose of perpetuating this crap.
