THE FOX

Where the boys would hang out prior to the wedding. I missed the women's dressing room, I got lost. Michael reports it is pretty amazing. Eric saw it and can offer details.
Again, where the men get dressed and hold their board meeting prior to the ceremony.
Women's Bathroom
Men's bathroom with furniture missing. It's being re-upholstered currently

The Grand Salon--very cool ceiling light. It is carpeted, but it's a large area rug
Door out to the terrace.
Detail
You can see a snippit of the floor underneath the carpet.

Egyptian ballroom set up for a seated dinner for 200. That's Ramses the Second with a captured slave up on the stage. Interesting...
