Larry is just playing the presidents and chancellors for suckers at this point...

LAS VEGAS -- The Sky Suites two-bedroom Sky Villa at ARIA Resort and Casino includes 24-hour butler service and luxury airport transportation.

It has its own private elevator and 3,370-square feet of space. There's a marble jacuzzi soaking tub in the suite, a fully stocked bar, and a powder room.

Book the suite and you and your guests will gain access to a private pool. Upon arrival, you'll also be served a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Average nightly rate: $7,500.

This is the dump Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott locked up for his stay in Las Vegas.

On Wednesday, the Pac-12 men's basketball teams will embark on a four-day battle for the conference's automatic NCAA Tournament berth. And Scott will spend four nights living better than just about anyone in the imperial monarchy.

It's business.

Bad look for sure, especially now. Horrible optics that invites even more ridicule and bad PR for Tennis Larry. But I gotta think that room came as part of the deal to play the tournament there. No way that's going on his corporate AMEX and appearing on an expense report.

Probably not, although he's definitely arrogant enough to do so.

At least he's not staying here:

Here's even worse optics for Tennis Larry:

The ACC Network, which won't even be on the air until the fall, has already signed a deal to be carried on DirecTV.

Honestly, it's funny that his $7k/night hotel suite is becoming news when that's not even that extreme for Vegas. The guy takes in a salary of $4.8 million a year to head the worst performing major power conference. He makes $100k a freaking week! That's what people should be upset about. The hotel room is a drop in the bucket.

Wouldn't be surprised if the suite was comped.

I wonder if Larry will spend some time catching Carrot Top. Going on the road as a prop comedian must be a fuggin nightmare. CT really scored when he landed that luxor gig.

Go out in style, I hope. Larry hasn't exactly been great for the Pac 12. Maybe we need some new leadership ASAP.

You can interpret this anyway you want, but I have just one question:

Would Robert Kenneth Kraft be happy with the amenities or happy after the amenities?

Complementary hookers and blow, I understand.
