Episode notes
Avoid The Starbucks Package For Short Coffee Use
- Skip the expensive Starbucks package unless you drink four specialty coffees daily; use dining-room espresso machines instead.
- Madison paid per espresso/cappuccino at specialty restaurants which proved cheaper than the $190 Starbucks package.
Queue Early For Headline Theater Shows
- Arrive early for headline shows because seating is first-come; get in line 60–90 minutes to secure spots.
- Madison queued 1hr25min for the Prince tribute and noted Haven guests often grabbed theater seats first.
Entertainment Is Distributed Across Many Bars
- Aqua layers live performers across many bars so entertainment is everywhere rather than centralized.
- Madison praised players like the Belvedere guitarist and Metropolitan pianist, noting consistent live music at bar venues.
