Do you suppose that joint went out and bought Top Dollar CFLs, or the
very cheapest -- like their toilet paper?

Well, I have to say that I had no complaint with their toilet paper. They
actually use Quilted Northern, which is what I buy myself, when I stay in a
private place in Florida. Not being a native American, I have no idea
whether this is considered to be a laughable 'cheapo' brand over there, but
it seems to compare pretty reasonably with the brand that I usually buy
here, which is *not* a cheap and cheerful one. So I'm not sure what that
says about the CFLs that they are using. I don't expect for one minute that
they will be the most expensive ones that you can get, but by the same
token, with the buying power that an organisation like MGM / Mirage have
got, there is no reason to suspect that they would be bottom end Dollar
Store jobs either. If in fact they are, then I think that they will quickly
run into trouble with failures.
However, the basic point that I was making was how that just by changing the
room's lighting, they have made what was a perfectly acceptable room, in
which you were able to read at night, into a dim depressing cave. Perhaps
the hope is that you will spend more time in the casino, and less in the
room ... ;~}
