Re: covering expenses of providing private play parties
Just a thought here - hold a meet & greet for your prospective party-goers in a club or some other vanilla location, and present the idea to them en masse. Present it in such a way that they all understand that you're "all going in together on the cost of the facilities."
We've done that a couple of times with couples with regards to getting a room. It's kind of a, "Wanna go in halves on a room?" type of thing. I've toyed with the idea of getting a bunch of our friends together, and we all go in on the price of a luxury suite at one of the big casino resorts here locally.
I think if you presented your proposal to everyone well in advance of setting the date of the actual party, a couple of things will happen:
1.) You'll weed out the people who don't want to share expenses.
2.) Everyone will know how much the party will cost. (Providing you do your homework and have a price for the facilities you plan on using.)
3.) Give you an insight as to who is willing to commit to something like this before it's a done deal.
That last one is the main reason why we haven't gone to one of the resorts yet - everyone I've talked to about it thinks it's a great idea, but so far nobody's ready to move beyond just talking about it.
Something else you need to think about, however, is the hotel's attitude toward tenants having guests. There is a hotel here locally that specializes in 'fantasy theme rooms,' (the cave room, the roman bordello room - things like that) and advertises itself as such. Their policy is that tenants can invite NO guests to their rooms, and if you're caught, you're kicked out immediately. They don't want to get the reputation of being a 'swinger's hangout,' and strictly enforce this policy. As you're checking into the price of this resort you're talking about, you might casually mention that some friends of yours might drop by for a visit (but won't be staying overnight,) and ask about their policy - if they even have one. Some resorts just don't care, while others might want to try to charge a higher price. I wouldn't even allude to having a party - I'd just try to get their reaction to a tenant having guests.
