QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice work, Sammi Brie! Couple of things to iron out, and I proposed an ALT0a and ALT2a. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 03:00, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

• @Theleekycauldron: 0a and 2a are undeniable improvements. Made requested copy changes and turned up some construction materials from 1968. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:21, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks! good to go with ALTs 2a, 0a, and 1 (by preference order). theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 03:27, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
    • I don't see ALT2a in the article. It says, "In 2017, journalist Roben Farzad wrote a book, Hotel Scarface: Where Cocaine Cowboys Partied and Plotted to Control Miami, on the hotel's heyday, recalling the years when it was a "criminal free-trade zone" and the leading seller of Dom Pérignon in the world." in reference to "cocaine cowboys". ALT2a is currently original research and what I planned on promoting. SL93 (talk) 01:26, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

• @SL93: The August 10, 1997, Miami Herald ref should suffice and I've improved the connection to the hook in the article itself. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:47, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
