The Vivid Video room at THE BLOCK Hotel has long been the hotel's most requested signature room. "The Vivid room is popular, no doubt, really popular...but with padded walls, a stripper pole, and enough Vivid videos to feed a small country, it makes sense to me," says Liko Smith, Managing Owner of THE BLOCK Hotels. "Naked Vivid girls, grown men and women getting paddled, just another day at THE BLOCK...you don't want to miss this episode," he finishes.
