2) Eat whenever you can

3) Your screwed (Although Residence Inn had places last weekend still for Derby weekend for $500 a night, which is very reasonable from years past)

4) 1 mint julep and then be done with them

5) Get ready to be pissed all day because of the crowds, idiot tellers, idiot friends, idiot people, but then be ready to get an unbelievable rush when the Derby song comes on and then the actual race. ANYONE that follows horse racing needs to experience it
