Like preparing a bridge table in the room of a repeat customer, or one who forgot his passport and they immediately dispatched a chauffeur to bring it to him at the airport. All of that without even being asked. That's what you get when you pay several thousands a night. Part of the price is for being ready to handle any situation.
