I don't know if the Boom Boom Room is still there - under that name anyway. But as mentioned in an earlier post - my father engineered its air conditioning system. As with the rest of the Fontainebleau when it expanded with the high-rise hotel tower. I remember the Poodle Room as well. Very nice mementos!
The Eden Roc was off-limits after they started protesting the Fontainebleau tower and brought a lawsuit in which my father was to give a deposition. He managed to stay one step ahead of the Broward County Sheriff, barely. Think a Brevard County deputy eventually got him. (Broward is Fort Lauderdale, sound-alike Brevard is a-ways up the coast with Titusville and Cape Canaveral.)
I'm still not sure if I can come out of hiding yet.
