Own the Curtis Hotel in Denver for one night
Through its Won Night Only promotion, the Curtis is offering up the whole hotel for one night - December 31, 2009 - to the highest bidder.
Up for grabs is a package that includes occupancy of each of the hotel's 330 rooms (2 people per room, max), including the Rolling Stone suite and the British Invasion suite. The winner, and about 600 of his or her closest friends, will also enjoy a rock-star worthy New Year's Eve bash with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, dinner, drinks, late night munchies, live music, the services of a DJ and a professional photographer, and limo service.
The current high bid on eBay is $50,000 (but the undisclosed "reserve" has not been met). Bidding ends on October 11, 2009.
While I've never seen a promotion quite like this, it fits right in with the style of the Curtis. The guest rooms themselves are sleek and luxurious, but the rest of the hotel is decked out in whimsical touches that appeal to the kid in each guest.

Each floor has a theme that's evident in quirky touches like movie posters and colorful silhouettes decorating the wall. Guests can stay on the "dance floor", a scary movie floor (appropriately located on floor 13) or other floors themed around pop culture. Each room has a flat screen tv, iPod dock, and free wireless internet.
There's a fitness center, 24/7 business center, and the lobby features a kitschy "five and dime" that sells classic candy. The lobby also has a Wii system and classic board games for guest use and is decorated with Lite-Brite art . Even the bathrooms are a surprise, with silly sayings painted on the stall doors.
The hotel restaurant, The Corner Office, serves an eclectic menu that's reasonably priced (the $15 lobster macaroni and cheese is delicious, with big chunks of lobster meat, and the $3.50 desserts like peanut butter crepes and espresso creme brulee are worth every calorie). The Curtis also accepts pets with a $15 daily fee.
