The camera drifts across the vast, empty expanse of the Main Platinum Hotel's parking lot, the monolithic structure cutting a sharp silhouette against the winter sky. I step out of my car, the sting of cold air immediate after the two-hour drive. Ahead, the towering glass revolving doors promise warmth and chaos.

The profound quiet of the privately reserved week presses down, a silent sentinel before the festive storm inside.
