Hilton Worldwide

The staff was very friendly.

So even though it wasn't this big five-star hotel, Chain like a Marriott or a Hilton or an Intercontinental

local chain.

It was great.

I was saying, you know, sometimes in these instances at this time of year, people tend to go on vacation.

And I just thought maybe you had gone to stay at Hilton Beach Resort.

I want to know exactly

what's going on in my house.

Do you see

anybody? Hilton Beach Resort?

Some sort of Hilton on the beach, yes.

That's what people tend to do at this time.

Even like...

People who know me or, like, not, like, know the ins and outs, but, like, are, like, you know, acquaintances or, you know, they're just like, well, why aren't you in Thailand? Why aren't you playing in the Hilton Tournament Champions? I'm like, well, did I win a tournament? Like,

it's in the name.

But, you know, like, they just, like, they just don't really get it.

So then people could try and taste like the products.

And one of the facts that I wasn't aware of and I already found out today was both David Glenn, the prime minister's breakfast that you both hosted here in Fiji, that was the first time that Carrie from the Hilton tried the Green Meadows lamb's breakfast sausages.

And from that, she was looking for a sausage that has been on the menu, but it was from her coming and actually trying the food.

That means that connection was made.

But then it also gets into what, you know, a problem that I think for Airbnb is they haven't necessarily found their identity.

Like Hilton, I think runs 16 or 17 brands.

Right.

So you've got Garden Inn, basic hotel, and then you've got Conrad Hilton or Ritz Carlton on their brand or Waldorf Astoria, whatever their five-star is, right? The difference in price constitutes the service.

So what a lot of hosters saying is like, look, here's an example.

Grandma had a duplex.

It doesn't tell you if it's a quaint efficiency with a view of a wall or a 10 bedroom oceanfront villa.

It's all Airbnb.

It's about 4 a.m.

He says he gets back to either the Hilton or the MGM Grand after a Mike fight.

He gets into the lobby and he says sitting by himself with a championship belt was Mike Tyson.

Nobody around him.

A busy Tuesday ahead.

Earnings are coming from Boeing, Coca-Cola, UPS, Hilton, JetBlue, Visa, Robinhood, to name a few.

The Fed begins a two-day meeting on interest rates.

We get the latest on durable goods orders, a look at home prices, and we get the new consumer confidence data.

It's about 4 a.m.

He says he gets back to either the Hilton or the MGM Grand after a Mike fight.

Nobody around him.

They probably got like the nicest sheets and all that crap.

I'm like, you know what, though? I could always get a room at a Hilton 100% for like $150 in that same area, literally.

I think there's a Hampton Inn across the street, probably $99, and just walk in, put the dog in there, and that's it.

Well,
