Too Cheap to Travel

I understand the need to watch your budget. I completely understand trying to save as much as you can. I do, really. I pay for my own travel as well, and I don't get a discount. But there comes a point when cheapness is just insane.

My customer today was wanting to book a room in Las Vegas and they wanted a room with 2 beds. There were 3 adults staying there. With this particular hotel however the rooms are assigned when you get there. You may get 2 queen beds or you may get 1 king. It depends on what's available on the day you check in.

She was adamant about not wanting to take the chance of getting one king so I suggested she get 2 rooms. She acted like I had suggested selling her firstborn and removing her right arm! This was a 3 star hotel, on the strip, and close to the center of the strip on top of that! The room was $25.00 per night!!! She would not do it.

Cheap? Crazy? Both? Yeah.
