15. Hotel rates are outrageous..especially for suites..
When we go to Vegas, I get a suite comped, but I would NEVER EVER pay what the rate is.. If I had to pay, I would be at Motel 6..

I bring groups to Vegas, so the hotel we stay at "likes" me..the suite they comp us with has 2000 sq ft.. (bigger than our house)
