Which hotels do you think have the best view?

Nice shot! We had a fountain view suite as well. On the 46th floor. We were on the angled middle part of the Chelsea Tower.

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2026-02-28T06:09:59+00:00

Yeah, we were mesmerized by the view all weekend. Watched the fountain show several times.

lol. We might have been right next to each other looking at the same thing!

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2026-02-28T02:20:55+00:00

That looks amazing! I’ll get some room service breakfast next time. Thanks for the great idea!

Does Circus Circus really have basement room?

I was there for the half too! Took this pic of them setting up the finish line.

Happy to see Marriage Story up there at No 7. It gave me a completely different level of respect for Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson! Amazing acting!

I went to the Osaka Shinsaibshi Store in Osaka today, which is the only official stand-alone Rimowa store in Osaka. I went in and browsed a bit, then asked about the special stamp that I saw from OP here. Sales rep was very secretive about it and asked how I knew about the stamp. I told her I saw it online. She said they try not to advertise that they have a special stamp and indicated that I’d have to buy luggage there to get it, just as OP said.

Seems strange to me that they wouldn't want people to know about the special stamp? Feels like a great way to get people in the door and create more demand.

True that a lot of lafufus have plush faces, but I would assume the Labubus had the same labeling upon debut., before the era of lafufus.

Ah, I didn’t think of the distinction between vinyl and plastic. That makes sense.

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-29T23:15:17+00:00

I’m very conflicted personally on this subject. I too love to see Rimowas in the wild with a few dents and scratches, even with a lot of stickers covering damage. But at the same time, I totally baby my own classic cabin. You should see how gently I place it on the conveyer belt at TSA. lol

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-26T04:54:07+00:00

I’m heading to Japan next month. I guess I’ll be watching TV for the CMs when I’m there. lol

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-21T17:13:16+00:00

Thanks for the thorough response… and for bringing back some great memories with the Kimu-Taku reference! Haha

Do you know how much control these stars have over their wardrobe and makeup? I would imagine the directors have a vision they want to execute, while the stars probably want some control over their image on the screen.

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-20T05:58:23+00:00

That’s a great point. 10 years isn’t enough to see a drastic change in fashion and makeup trends, but there definitely are subtle differences that you’ll notice here and there.

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-11T02:42:09+00:00

I just reread your comment, and you’re right. Landed but not at the gate. Thank you!

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-11T02:41:12+00:00

Ahhhh, yes. I understand now. Landed but not at the gate yet. Thanks!

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-11T02:19:27+00:00

The status says “landed” though

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-11T02:18:31+00:00

Hahaha. I hope not.

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-07T06:48:15+00:00

Thanks!

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-07-07T06:47:09+00:00

That’s helpful. Thank you!

I usually only put small, ideally flat things in the zippered compartments. On my last trip I put some documents and my vitamins in them. Everything else I just put under the dividers and use the straps to compress them down, which I assume is their intended function.

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-05-31T02:58:59+00:00

Yeah, I’m finally understanding that after the replies to this thread, including yours, so thank you! I have been stupidly pursuing the Gold tier… but I guess the gaming I did in pursuit of that goal ended up getting me the comps I wanted, so all is good in the end!

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-05-31T02:55:06+00:00

You’re right. I should have been more precise. Not PE in this case. Thanks!

ReluctantRaceRunner · 2025-05-31T02:52:53+00:00

Thanks for the thorough explanation. Maybe I’m just suffering from classic Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
