Insane Inauguration Packages!
Planning on heading to D.C. for Barack Obama's inauguration? "Extra" did some digging -- and discovered some travel packages that cost more than a foreclosed house!
The Omni Shoreham Hotel offers two packages to let you live the Presidential luxe life -- the pricier one going for $440K! The "44th Commander-in-Chief" package includes a private jet arrival, private in-room meals, personal concierge and chauffeur service, a jewelry shopping spree, personalized presidential perfume -- and more!
These extravagant guests also get a "Foreign Policy Trip" -- with a five-night gift certificate to the Kempinski Hotel Moika 22 in St. Petersburg, with first class roundtrip airfare for four also included.
New York Philharmonic director Lorin Maazel is offering a more "reasonable" inauguration package -- he and his wife are offering up their estate, which sleeps fifty, in addition to chauffeured transportation to and from Washington, for $50K a night, as reported by AP.
One Virginia businessman dropped $1 million on an inauguration package! According to NewsVine.com, the high-living entrepreneur paid for the JW Marriott's "Build Your Own Ball" offer, which includes 300 rooms, 4 suites, and $200K worth of food and beverages. The businessman is reportedly planning to use the rooms so that disadvantaged people -- including terminally ill patients and wounded soldiers -- can participate in the historical inauguration.
