Can i do it with one query?

Answer 1

How about this:

( SELECT suite_number 
    FROM tbl_name
   WHERE is_fancy = 0
ORDER BY RAND()
   LIMIT 10
) UNION ALL
( SELECT suite_number 
    FROM tbl_name
   WHERE is_fancy = 1
ORDER BY RAND()
   LIMIT 10)
ORDER BY RAND()

The last line ORDER BY RAND() is optional.
