Did Bill also take the suggestion of getting better food and wait/service staff? New furniture and decor is nice, but if your staff and food is crap, it won't matter one bit!

Looks like they rearranged the deck chairs. Their businees model is apparently "let's suck up to the bloggers and see if they show up and spend money"

I do love the analogy "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" but it looks like they've spent some money on some furniture. Will the winter lounge be enclosed during the colder months? If not, my Titanic reference might be exactly what they did.
