The Biltmore Hotel
Here we are at the Biltmore Hotel. This place isn't super
extravagant like some of those hotels in Las Vegas, this place is just
elegant and expensive. As we walk up onto the grass and turn around we
see a grand view of the ocean from here. Turning back to the hotel we
see the entrance. I don't see anyone around so let's gather up our
courage and walk in the door on the left side. If anyone looks at us
just smile and nod politely and act like you belong here and know what
you're doing; that usually works.
The Biltmore Hotel is elegant. There are real towels in the hallway
restrooms, white ones. There's certainly nothing second rate about this
place. Around the corner we come to the dining room in the picture above
called The Gold Room. I guess they call it the Gold Room either because
it's golden or because you have to pay gold to eat here.
