Gerson lehrman is completely legit in my view. I have done over a dozen consultations for them over the past couple of years, mostly for well-known investment banks and fund managers. I recently referred my brother to them and he has already done two assignments. GLG pays promptly and well (generally $250 an hour), and they provide good follow-up.
Treasure Island - TI. Treasure Island on the Las Vegas Strip, known simply as TI, is aptly named because of its many hidden treasures. A paradise for adults, it includes some of the hippest hangouts in town, a tropical pool area with a party tub, a variety of restaurants and the first permanent Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas.
If Treasure Island accommodation is not to your liking, you could check out the hotels in Sunset Beach. Another option is to make a reservation at a hotel in Madeira Beach, which is another St. Petersburg - Clearwater neighborhood.
