Palatial Rooms, Famous Heists

Yes, it's the spot to see and be seen on the Boulevard de la Croisette, but have you considered what else Cannes' grand gem might be good for?  Like swindling the rich and/or famous maybe? At the 2013 Cannes Intertnational Film Festival, the Chopard suite was robbed of $1 million worth of jewelry in a rumored inside job, and an ambitious young man fooled A-listers at a reception into thinking he was "Gangnam Style" singer Psy, running up a large bar tab and fooling "Skyfall" actress Naomie Harris. We're really hoping it's the same guy who pulled off both. So, if you're looking to go "Fight Club" on the elite at Cannes, grab your best wedding caterer bowtie and infiltrate the waitstaff. Bonus points if you're also a dead ringer for a South Korean pop singer.
