Just got back from LV over the Thanksgiving Day weekend. I will not mention the hotel but the view would have been exceptional if the windows had not been really dirty. How often do the Strip hotels wash their hotel-room windows? I know it will vary depending on the size of the hotel, but how much does it cost per hotel to wash the windows? How long does it take? How many windows are in some of the hotels?
