It can be done, but not in plaid golf pants and a woman's blouse. My outfit drew the wrong kind of stares. Of course, sitting around an airport for five hours is equally uncool. Without Stinky, I felt lost. I picked up the rental Chevy Cavalier from the obese, wheezing man at Affinity and checked in to our free room at the Stardust.
Free rooms are cool.
This late on a Wednesday night there was only one person in front of me at the front desk. There was also only one girl working, with two more standing around chewing cud like cows. The one working girl was haggard and a little grumpy. As I checked in, I tried a new approach to the upgrade. Many people slip the clerk twenty bucks and get bumped up to a suite.
