Celebrate Halloween Where 'Ghostbusters' Was Filmed
'Tis the season for a parade of hotel parties. Holiday dinners in the hundred dollar range are just around the corner, but it's Halloween that precedes the hanging of tinsel from marble-tiled lobbies. Most of the upcoming events we've heard of are the standard ballroom/costume/D.J. affairs that attract crowds of 20-somethings. Raucous fun, maybe, but they also tend to bring out scenesters in droves, which leaves those looking to celebrate over classy cocktails in a lurch.
Enter L.A.'s Millennium Biltmore, who is hosting an "All Hallow's Eve" party at their Gallery Bar on October 31st from 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM, and forgoing "sexy nurse" overtures in favor of a vintage vibe. The Millennium may not have haunted hotel room lore like that of The Roosevelt, but it did serve as one of the filming locations for Ghostbusters, if that means anything to you.
A miniskirt, platforms, and themed hat won't cut it in the costume department, as we mentioned (too bad for sassy sailorettes looking to throw something together last minute). Instead they're encouraging guests to dress in 1920s-1940s attire to be eligible to win various prizes, including a weekend stay at the hotel or dinner at La Bistecca or Sai Sai.
We checked rates for the evening of October 31st and found rooms starting as low as $161.00. Not bad when you consider that most Halloween parties run upward of $100 for admission alone. Now all you need is a flapper headband or dapper waistcoat and you're all set.
