(866 posts)I think the extreme cost is to keep the violent people out. Other hotels have closed January 4, 5, 6.

(65,168 posts)The price shift is so dramatic, that's it's not supply & demand.
They are scaring people away with dollar signs.

Sounds like your life is worth less than a night at the tRump Hotel. Sad!

I remember back in 2008, when I tried to find a room in Denver for the Democratic National Convention. Hotels, even people offering private room in their houses for over $1000 a night. Totally nuts. I was told of some online sites, and I found a college student who was looking to sublet his apartment for $450 for the MONTH of August. I contacted him, and took his apartment, paid for the full month, and gave him back his place after the 4 or 5 days I was there. I had to walk all of ten minutes to get the tram into town. To save $900 a day, it sounded like quite the bargain to me!
