Re: Official: Shamrock Development (10th and Capitol)

The Marriott is building some mock-up Guest Rooms in the Mastercraft Building... Why? That makes absolutely no sense. I stay in Marriott properties 30 or more times a year. There is absolutely nothing memorable about them. Other than their sameness. You can show a person a picture of a room as many...

Re: Gouging or good business? Hiked-up Omaha hotel rates

As far as the Nebraska Miami game... well, they can't exactly relocate the game. I was just using that as an example of how concentrated demand will drive price. This is routine for hotel prices during extremely high demand periods - for example, there are no Hilton branded hotels within 50 miles o...

Re: Gouging or good business? Hiked-up Omaha hotel rates hav

Sorry about this, as I must have to chime in from the hotel perspective. If I sold my rooms at $150 a pop on that weekend, I'd be fired immediately. Hotels are sold out years in advance because of the insane demand, why drop the price when there are thousands of people just waiting to pay the higher...

The targeting of Chick-fil-A is but one front in an ugly campaign where the goal isn't so much to prevail in a political argument as to buffalo opposing voices into silence.
