Donald Trump's election night festivities won't include huge crowds or his prized hotels. Instead, the Trump campaign announced Wednesday night, the candidate is opting for a more intimate, invitation-only affair at the New York Hilton Midtown just for "friends and supporters of the Trump-Pence campaign," the statement said.
The hotel boasts a 3.5-star rating on Trip Advisor and some online images of the hotel's ballroom indicate there will be some subtle glimmers of gold around. The grand ballroom, which the hotel claims is the "largest grand ballroom" in all of Manhattan, can fit "more than 3,000 guests."
