I don't know where that "medical card" thing ever started in the first place, but I've read it from different sources a hundred times over the years.

I haven't stayed at HDR in a long time but the chica fee is now $11. So this article must have been written 10 years ago??

Just 2 of the <many> inconsistencies/just plain wrong info contained in this article - I guess it was interesting as a "nostalgia" piece, but why bother to post something dated, with wrong info as to hotel pricing, girl pricing, health cards, guest fees, et al; written by - lets be kind - a newbi -with zero commentary other than a link - looking at the link, shows "09-01".

Not getting down on you, Mr Black (well, maybe just a little :) ) but we have lots of guys with little experience reading these threads, and I don't want them thinking much about the article/link applies today - if you are going to post a link, especially about a place as famous ad the HDR - don't you think perhaps a little commentary might be in order, especially for something 11 years old?

Just for the sake of accuracy:

The article may have been 11 years old. But the pictures were not. The photographs were taken in the last few years.

Not 100% on this but the photograph of the girl was taken probably at the President not at the DR.

And oh yes this little piece of heaven has six levels not seven.

Look, I always appreciate anyone posting but the incorrect room pricing was just one one example of wrong info contained in that particular article - if you read it again, you will see what I'm refering to, or look again at my previous post - again, b/c the place is so well known, we don't want guys reading something where so much of what's written is outdated or just plain wrong - that was my point :)

Or how about "a ton of the info is dated, or just plain incorrect" :wink:
