This week I was in NYC for three nights. The NY State and NYC tax on my hotel room was $120.

Want to stay in the city all weekend, free? Rent an office. Put up a deposit, get a key, enjoy....and late Sat night, phone the landlord and say the place is infested with (name that critter), and that you're going to the health inspector on Monday morning -- oh and the fire inspector too -- and before the dawn on Monday you will get your full deposit back with a smile.

Option two: make yourself a stowaway and on Monday, huffily demand restitution for being locked in. Watch out for security cameras and you'll do fine.

That's appalling. Are they trying to discourage tourism?

If you want to be a big shot, you've got to throw some money around.
