I was the one that brought this up in two different threads earlier in the night, then went to bed. I guess people took note.

Not only is it not a good thing. One of the top 3 DJs in the world is at the FB this weekend. It has been sold out for weeks. The FB and Eden Roc (ajoining hotel) are going to be rocking till sunrise tonight, Fri, and especially Sat.

Bama is gonna be knee deep in the hottest women they have ever seen and a few thousand drunk and or coked up partiers. It is a huge weekend party this weekend at Liv and Akadia (both inside the Fountainbleau hotel).

Be interesting to see how tight a leash Saban can keep on them.

Orange Bowl 2012: Clemson Crushed 70-33 By West Virginia

Guess which team stayed at the Fontainebleau last year for the Orange Bowl?

Didn't seem to hurt WV last year.

Yeah, but that was just Clemson. Anyone can beat them like a drum.

Some quotes from WVU last year:

quote:

Mike Montoro, WVU's director of communications for football, happened into a Fontainebleau restaurant the other day for carry-out. He only wanted a chicken salad sandwich.

It was a $22 gulp.

To call it the most luxurious hotel on Miami Beach might be an understatement.

It has the so-called "Stairway to Nowhere," part of architect Morris Lapidus' Art Deco design when the hotel was built in the early '50s.

The Mountaineers seem to feel like they've come from Almost Heaven to heaven. They've been all a-Twitter about it.

"This FountainBlue is crazy," senior offensive tackle Don Barclay tapped into a smartphone. "Never been to a better place than this."

Jorge Wright, WVU's starting junior nose tackle, grew up fewer than 15 miles from the resort where he has spent the last few days.

"I'd never been there before," Wright said Sunday. "It's the most amazing place I've ever seen in my life.

How?

"My room," he said. "I've never had a room that had an actual computer, right there, in the room. The balcony, the view, the overhead shower. It's just an amazing place."

WVU junior receiver J.D. Woods, from cross-state Naples, also is enjoying his first stay at the famed resort.

"I love the Fontainebleau," Wood said. "It's very, very nice hotel, an experience I'll never forget. It's my first time there, and it's leaving a lasting impression."

Obviously, WVU standout quarterback Geno Smith hasn't been the biggest star for Fontainebleau lobby watchers.

"That lobby is pretty sick," Smith said Monday. "The other night we saw the Hilton sisters there. Rihanna. I think everyone has passed through since we've been here."

Stanford got the Fontainbleu in 2011. They beat the pants off of Virginia Tech.
