Last time we stayed at the Flamingo Las Vegas, we had a nice surprise: the wrap advertising Donny and Marie was down from the building, so our views were both unimpeded and spectacular. Bad news: when we stayed there again this week, the wrap is back, and its ruining...

We're understanding souls here at HotelChatter. We get that times are tough, and we're not averse to hotels indulging in a little advertising if it means cheaper room rates. But when the hotel coining it in affects the view we've paid for, we're not happy. Which is why, last...

View from Vdara. Were not above cheesy entertainment in Vegas. We would have happily gone to see foreign pop idols Matt Goss or Human Natureand we did enjoy Cirques Viva Elvis on The Kings 75th birthday. But were not so hot on The Osmonds. Especially when the supposedly wholesome Donny...

Frequent travelers who live by the maxim, "If you don't ask, you don't get" swear by the $20 room upgrade move. It works like this: when checking in to your ho-hum standard room, you casually slip an extra 20 bucks to the front desk clerk and ask if there's any...

Upon landing in Las Vegas on Saturday we couldn't help but wonder if the Luxor Hotel was hurting for money. Why? Because the whole building has been covered in black and features a huge advertisement on one side for Absolut Vodka.Things get a little more down-market over the Rio which...

While following up on our favorite Hotel Death Watch subject, the Hooters Casino Hotel, we learned that the Tropicana is also on death watch and this looks much more imminent than Hooter's. In an article about Hooters, the Ledger in Florida mentions that the Tropicana will be demolished by a...

This is the ad for the Flamingo Hotel & Casino's Hangover package. Does this look like feet that poke out of the tables at the morgue or what?We're guessing they are really trying to drive home that feeling of being so hungover you wish you were dead. If you find...

This picture is of last weekend's pool scene at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Can you spot K-Fed? Actually, HotelChatter is very interested in the Las Vegas pool scene so if you got pictures of your best friend making out with a tattooed biker while wearing an...
