Time share :-) RUMOR? was

When the Luxor was being built in Las Vegas years ago there was a shortage of ironworkers. They were bringing them in from out of state and paying them per diem for room and board.

Several of them went together and rented one apartment with a time share house Keeper :-).

It was my understanding that this went on for several months. Their PER DIEM paid for the apartment, the time share house keeper, a refrig full of beer, and what food they wanted.
They were not out any of their wages.

Someone ratted them out and they got busted. Changed the way the contractor paid per diem instead of paying the workers direct he paid for the rooms individually and had them on a not to exceed charge account a local resturant.

It was the talk of the construction trade for a while. Didn't make the news either
