Yeah, just got back from the Prez yesterday. The dress code is definitely being enforced now more than ever. New gestapo at the gate in the evening definitely affects the choices you make.
Taxis trying to pull scam by renting a jacket for $10...unbelieveable! Thinking of new digs or packing some one size fits all women's clothing...maybe a long wrap skirt and top or jacket. I never had so many problems in the past.
Many girls are prepared, but many are not, so it is now definitely part of the process. I even had to taxi one chica to her hotel to change. Some chicas can exchange clothes with friends...I don't know how they do it...it's crazy.
One girl had on a wonderfully hot and extremely revealing dress and I said that's not going to fly at my hotel. She said 'no problem' and went to the bathroom to change...came back looking like a different girl, so I offered her less.
All guests get checked in, but if you're coming in from the Cafe, I guess it's possible to bypass.
The Skybox is closed with no scheduled re-opening date.
All in all, still had a great time and still enjoy staying there. It's just not as hassle free as it once was, but there is no chica fee and that's a good thing.
