    What a waste of money.

    I would love to have seen it though. I bet it was spectacular.

    Unless you are referring to the jewelry itself, I'm not sure where the waste of money is. It was designed by an area jewelry store and put on display in the hotel lobby. The only thing that really cost anything was the tree itself.
    The hotel didn't pay a thing for it.

    You've never been to that part of the world. Gold and gems are displayed in most of their upscale establishments. They are famous for it.

    Clarke Griswold would have blasted batter at the sight of that thing.
