In all due respect, running hotels is the genuine article. That's the genius.

But first, they have to get built.

You have my complete admiration for what you do!

But getting them built sometimes requires some political palm greasing.

Frankly, with the ones we built the politicians were greasing our palms. They wanted the business and sales taxes. Built one in Arlington, TX on old city property between Six Flags and the old Texas Rangers stadium. They practically gave it away.

The place is still there and it’s still a Sheraton.

But then again that was in 1984 and the economy hadn’t started really churning under Reagan just yet but was ready to blow.

One in Coronado Bay in San Diego did have to jump through alot of city hoops to get built though. And I was only sent once the building started and wasn’t involved in the greasing and financing.
