What is a good place to host birthday party in Los Angeles?
Q. I am thinking about the Rooftop Bar in Standard Hotel Downtown... Thinking about hanging out at the room and go up to the rooftop bar? Will the room be too small for a group of 10? How is the parking? Is there a cover for the Rooftop? Any comments? What are other suggestions in West Hollywood area?
A. These all sound like good choices to me! I have no other suggestions

A. Sheesh. How can anyone check for ID when you book the room? Seriously, think about it.
Of course they check ID when you check in. All hotels do. They want to match the ID to the credit card. They always check mine.
Sorry, kid, you'll just have to wait.

What is the legal drinking and smoking age in The Netherlands?
Q. I also want to know how much a flight from D.C. to The Netherlands would cost including a passport and a standard hotel for about a week or 2.
A. Drinking age - 16 for beer and wine under 15% proof (alcohol content) and 18 for 15% and over e.g. spirits
Smoking - 16 to buy cigarettes and 18 to buy marijuana (not legal actually but tolerated under given conditions such as being 18)
ID checks are the norm (unless you are obviously old enough) and by law every person over 14 in the Netherlands (including tourists) have to have have official ID (passport, driving licence etc) on them at all times to show upon police request. Therefore a "I forgot" or a fake college card won't be accepted either
As for the cost - well it really depends on when you come and how far in advance you book (usually the further in advance the cheaper). I will give you a rough indication for Nov 2009 and the sites so you can check for yourself. Take into account about $100 a day on average spending, and the cost of a passport (assumuing you are American) is here http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/fees/fees_837.html
Flights from DC to Amsterdam flying out on 03/Nov and returning 10/Nov then the cheapest is $737.79 with KLM. http://www.skyscanner.net
Hotel prices vary massively depending on what kind of accomodation you prefer. Assuming you want cheap and are happy with a hostel then using the same dates as above then 7 nights would cost you $20-25 per night in a dorm and $30-40 in a private room. Again you can check for yourself here http://www.hostelworld.com
EDIT - Well I haven't returned from the Netherlands (because I am still living here!) and unless the drinking age has been changed without it being announced in the national newspapers or TV channel news, then I assure you that the drinking age has not been changed to 20
The only thing I can think of is that there has been a misunderstanding by the person below. From this year on then people purchasing alcohol and tobacco have to show ID to purchase if they are below 20. This is the official site http://www.noggeen20.nl/ (in Dutch). You can see a confirmation of what I said about the age limits based on alcohol content here and this is the official site from the Ministry of Health, Welfare & Sport http://www.minvws.nl/en/themes/alcohol/default.asp
