Probably to the guys who stay there it's a lower % of their income than us spending $400 a night.

It's all relative. In the late 70s early 80s I was selling office furniture to Arabs. Mostly via an Arab bank.

Once said the prospective user should come over to the showroom to look at his new furniture before he confirmed the sale. I said he did not want to waste his money and get the wrong thing.

The guy I was dealing with (Office manager) replied, he earns more money an hour than the furniture costs, so he would be wasting money by coming over. The furniture was $3,000 a desk. The client had a few oil wells.
