Casablanca Hotel Stages Political Intervention; Sends Guests To Election Rehab

Where: 147 West 43rd Street [map], New York, ny, United States, 10036

Though Obama holds just an estimated 124 super delegate votes over Hillary Clinton, some Democrats are calling for Hill to back out of the race. Meanwhile, McCain is touring the country in support of his campaign, even though some people don't know whether or not Huckabee is still in the race. (He isn't.) All this, and the official November election is still eight months away. Do we even care anymore?

For those of you who answered "no" to that question, you may want to check into New York City's Casablanca Hotel in Times Square, which is offering up a "rehab" of sorts from the nation's constant presidential election coverage.

From now until Election Day 2008, guests can request that guest room TVs block all news channels and opt to receive gossip or fashion magazines in the morning instead of the hotel's usual complimentary newspapers. Rehabbed guests also will receive "Red, White and Blueberry Turndown Service," which consists of red wine complimented by brie cheese and salt water crackers garnished with blueberries and honey.

To book, call the hotel or enter the promotional code "REHAB" during the online reservations process. Book by April 30 for arrivals between Memorial Day and Labor Day and receive a discount of up to $50. Room rates start at $289 per night.

For those of you who have had enough of McCain, Obama and Clinton Part Deux, we suggest checking in and not emerging until November 9.
