The band leader in this episode, Johnny Crawford, played the character of Mark in the Rifleman. I recognized him right away and connected the name. I looked it up on Wikipedia and read that he started this band in 1992.
Such a shame that the current owners of the hotel have let so much of the glamor slip away. Rooms are outdated, the service is a shell of what it once was. It's now operated like a Holiday Inn within a grand dame of an old hotel.
Yes! That's himself! I wish Huell would have mentioned it...I get the feeling he didn't know and the focus was on the bandleader. I've been watching episodes for the past week...he was simply Huell...one of a kind! ❤
I love this hotel and always try o stay here when I'm in town.
I've gone to Pershing Square for years right across the street from the Biltmore n never knew it's history thanks huell howser

The Biltmore was NOT opened before the Ambassador. The Ambassador opened in 1921.
So this was in 1998?
