    I went there a few years ago after hearing about it on the Howard Stern show, Wow he was right. high class. man that place cost me a lot of money.. I paid in cash though, never give a credit card to a place like that!

      yeah I've heard lots about it, but never had a chance to go. I still can't imagine a $214K tab

        I cant believe that AMEX would allow it, I charged a laptop a couple weeks ago and they called me to make sure it was ok. Boooooo on amex.. and I dont have a limit with them either.

          I think it's false advertisement that AMEX says they don't have limits. AMEX does have limits although they're not preset limits. They look at your previous spending habits, stick it in a formula and that is the max you're allowed to spend on their card.

          I tried to charge our $50k+ hotel wedding tab on my Platinum Amex card and they gave me such a hastle about it. After 1 hour of answering their questions, I finally got my limit raised on my Visa within 10 mins and had a couple free plane tickets ta'boot.

          That CEO must have had some crazy months for AMEX to allow that charge to go through.

            They do offer a Black Amex and it has no limit, there are only 850 in the world, you have to have perfect credit and make a certain amount of money, I have not heard too much about them on the web etc, so a lot of people dont even know they exist.

            I have no pre-set limit (as you call it) and what it says online when I log into my account, but I have not had to justify anything, I bought my dad 2005 Dodge 4x4 Ram on it, he wanted it and didnt have his check book with him so I just charged it for him, took me 2 mins on the phone. Now it wasnt 50k but it was $39k.

            And 50k for a wedding your crazy lol..

              Well I'm just gonna have to go to Scores to check this out. ;-) Me and a dozen best buddies have a long standing rule of 3 day bachelor parties in Vegas. I'm pretty sure we've spent $200K over the years at OG's, CH2 and Fantasy Island (whatever the one across the Hard Rock is called).

              Corp cards are a little different, they will put whatever requirements the company ask of them depending on the credit of your company. My last corporate AmEx I pretty much could have bought whatever I wanted. There were times my associate would charge tens of thousands in advertising materials no questions asked.

              $50K wedding tab in LA? We got married in Malibu and I think that was our bar tab. ;-) J/K, it wasn't that much but it wasn't far off.

                Tell me about it. And that was just the hotel reception bill. I refuse to know what the whole thing cost. I have only myself to blame. I knew what I was marrying into.

                    I can't believe a thread about strippers and a $214K tab has spiraled into talk about marriage...

                        Natural progression for married men ....

                        See a hot chic
                        Talk about strippers
                        Talk about your bachelor party
                        Leads to talk about marriage

                        Fortunately for me, in my wedding contract I wrote in that Diana can't give me flack when my buddies have bachelor parties in Vegas. Next one is the first weekend of March Madness next year, Wednesday night to Sunday. We're going after that $214K record. ;-)

                          It raises the ancient question that men have always wondered - Which costs more, a wife or a stripper?

                            actually that is not even a question, a wife, hands down

                              My buddies are planning my bachelor party - going to AC... One of the guys is from there, says he knows some people who know how to get the good strippers. He did it for his bachelors party earlier this year.

                              I won't have to worry about the bill - they will though. All I have to do is show up, drink and enjoy the entertainment.
