I just stayed in the one in Atlanta, and it was very cool. It looks very different now then the one on your site though jaz, they are in the process of redoing the entire thing.

That Marquis concept sounds great, a few more options for accomidation near the convention center is a must. its a no brainer if you ask me.

Laguna - The room at Wynn was $104 a night, on a casino rate basically. You ask how I liked the hotel, well. I've stayed in most of the upper end Vegas hotels, including, Mirage, TI, Venetian, MC, Bellagio, MGM, etc. and I won't stay any where else but Wynn, until Encore opens. As an overall package, its the best Vegas has to offer IMO. The only downfall with Wynn is the location, and in 4 years, it will go from one of the worst locations in town, to one of the best. I will be the only hotel in town almost completely surrounded by all brand new hotels, Echelon, Plaza, Encore, and Palazzo, then FB, just a few blocks up past that. Once again, Wynn could not have possibly picked a better location, for any amount of money. And being sandwished between 3 of the biggest convention centers in town, he'll be able to keep his weekday rates at top dollar also. The amazing part to me, is Wynn is already doing more business than any place in town, except Bellagio. And this is with almost NO walk in traffic. I mean Wynn feels dead, compared to Bellagio, which is a mad house. I can only imagine how much business Wynn will be doing in 4 years. I'd say he'll be running the top hotel in town, in both profits and revenues.

I admit bias. However, TripAdvisor would back my claim. For the last several months the Signature MGM has been rated the #1 place to stay in Las Vegas. If you stay there, I think you will find the service, caliber of people (both employees and guests), quality of suites and amenities to be second to none. Although, it is a different experience than staying at a "regular hotel". By that, I mean no gaming and smoking. In our recent home owners association meeting, it was revealed to us that the Signature is persuing a 5 star rating. Only, one small part of the Wynn has that.

We could test the lights now just for the hell of it

I know there are lighting arrays on that ledge a third of the way up. Assuming there are some at the bottom on the podium as well. There will probably also have some kind of light on the roof to light up the crown with the name on it.

Sorry, this is off topic, but does anyone know the fate of Battista's Hole in the Wall. Harrah's aquired the property a while back and I don't believe they've announced any plans for the property as of late.

5 deaths alone this month. This is a disturbing trend and it must stop.

I have uploaded a brand new page loaded with new videos and photos of Cosmo, CityCenter and Planet Hollywood. I was able to get pictures of the middle monorail station by Veer with monorail columns inside and an angled roof. I was also able to get shots and video of the Jockey Club pool now completly covered by a net!

You can view the videos and pictures at my

The latest rumor is that the New Frontier hotel will be imploded on November 13, at least two months ahead of schedule.
