President's stay in Reno gives hotel-casino presidential suite

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO -- A suite at a Reno hotel-casino where President Bush spent Monday night is being renamed in his honor.

Bush slept in the 2,100-square-foot suite on the 27th floor of the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino the night before he spoke at the American Legion national convention in Reno.

    • "He was the first standing president to spend the night in Reno," said Richard Langlois, the resort's executive vice president of sales and marketing. "We were excited about it. Now we're really going to be able to say we have a presidential suite."

    The suite features four flat-screen televisions, his-and-her bathroom vanities, and a jacuzzi-style bathtub surrounded by Italian marble.

    It rents for $1,000-plus a night.

    Langlois would not say who paid for the suite during the president's visit.

    Bush had planned to dine at the resort's Charlie Palmer Steakhouse on Monday evening after his arrival, but ate in his suite because the restaurant was crowded with Legion members, he said.

    The president ordered a romaine salad, shellfish ravioli and Wagyu beef short ribs from the steakhouse.
