Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has some really nice bathrobes. There’s one in every room on property, complete with a nice little note asking folks not to steal them from the room.

“Yeah, it’s a cool robe,” it says. “But here’s the deal. If you take it, we charge you $75. On the other hand, a new one can be purchased for $45 by contacting Guest Services. You do the math.”

It doesn’t say anything about borrowing the robe for a few hours, though.

It’s a little cold down here in the tournament ballroom, and Mike Leah showed up for this event donned in his white robe. It looks like quite a comfortable way to spend the day, in all honesty.

Tony Dunst appreciated Leah’s style and the utilitarian benefits of wearing a robe in non-standard robe situations, too. Like the middle of the day in a poker tournament, for example. Parting from his traditional business-casual attire at the tables, Dunst returned from the second break wearing his own robe, and he and Leah are now wardrobe twins at Table 18.

“I re-robed him,” Dunst said.
