y dear Lir. Fisher:
j
• Just returned from Miami Beach, where I found things
very, busy and most prosperous looking from every viewpoint. '
• Had thought that I might have an- opportunity to take '
up a ,few matters with you in person. I had.-hoped ,to. discus's
the :matter of rates, date of, opening, and the program'for .-the
brthadcasting station.
During my talks with uharles, I have learned that you
• adv.t ed the raising of rates at the Flamingo. • I ' suppose this
will apply ;to the Nautilus as well. Our former rates at the
idautiliis have been 420 to 425 per day single and -p32 to j38 ,
per day double . Do you feel we could raise these, and if so ,
how •much? ' - Personally-1 think the :single rate is practically s
right as it is. Had thought, however, of advancing our rate
on doublet•rooms from j34 to 440 per day. Judging -from what I • y
could learn while at Miami .Beach,- the rate- which we have :charged
heretoforefor our bungalows is 'most ".reasonable - in fact below
anything -that is to be compared with them. Our rates, as you
will • reme riber, for bungalows was ; 3,000, for the bungalows with
' three bedrooms, j3500 for the four bedroom bungalows; and. 4001 I
for.. the one bungalow which has •five bedrooms. Charles informs .,
- me that he has advanced his '?'200 each. I 'most certainly,.be -
- and should get at least •:•500 each more, for
neve. that we could ,�
our•'bungalows. . The only objection to .this is that quite .a num-
ber 'of our, •people .who • occup'ied .bungalows last year madetent a
ative reservations on''the basis of the old rate. • .1
J
understand that the Flamingo'.will; open on or about De- y
cethber 15th.' . -Such being the--:0.,§e, 1,:believe, it -will 'be', advisa- .-
ble for 'us to, open. January 2nd.: Personally, _,.I feel that 'with s
opr -bungalows •we ,should be , able to `carry;`.out, overhead almost
• from 'the date of, open,ing, 'sh:ould •,ze .open on 'the -above -mentioned ' ' ,,
F - As• yet nothing has been, done` concerning the gu:rniShings
of the -'broadcas'ting'.,studio. . ,Mhile at Miami ,i eadh, ;I 'met Mr. onit-. - 1
