A typical Four Seasons Vegas hotel room. As wild as Jason Biggs. Oh the irony. Just as the Vegas PR peeps celebrate the 10 year anniversary of What happens here stays here, a Vegas hotel pops up in a story that definitely should have stayed in the 702. And...

Remember back in September when we cried tears of joy after hearing that Wyndham Hotels would be rolling out more Planet Hollywood Hotels? Our beloved early 90s movie-themed hotel would now be offered to us outside of Vegas. We eagerly began jotting down a few possible trips--Planet Hollywood Miami,...

Did you book the cheapest category room for your Las Vegas stay and the hotel refuses to give you a room above the fifth floor? Don't be too disheartened; just think of all those hotel rate high rollers who couldn't see squat for several days as low and heavy...

Over on VegasChatter, we've been keeping tabs of the cheesy movie-themed rooms like Spaceballs at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino and with over a 2,000 rooms, we thought we'd have plenty of movies to go through. It turns out, we're going to have even more.Wyndham Hotels has announced a...

In continuing our running series, Adventures in Blind Booking, we decided to test out Travelocity's new Top Secret Hotels option.

Yes, it's another example of fugly carpeting in hotels. This time the offender is the new PH Towers by Westgate in Las Vegas whose hallway carpeting hurts our eyes. Although, we quite liked our stay the hallway rugs were rather garish, if not a blatant ripoff of the carpeting...

Thought our last encounter with Planet Hollywood was too good to be true? Think again because we just spent a night there, and they were flashing the freebies like there was no tomorrow. We booked a room on Hotwire for Wednesday night, and snapped it up for $72...

So you all know by now how we scored this ridiculous suite at Planet Hollywood to spend the night in last week but when we shot the video room tour, it was nighttime and you couldn't quite see how amazing that view was. Never fear. We made sure to film...

As we were leaving the Bellagio we noticed the brand-new facade over at the Planet Hollywood Resort and we actually liked it. (Literally, we snapped this shot as we were leaving the Bellagio in a cab.) When we initially heard PH was opening in Vegas we kinda flash-backed to the...

Today is the anniversary of the death of Elvis. If you had in mind a quickie Elvis-themed wedding we suggest avoiding the deadly heat wave now going on in Memphis and heading to the air-conditioned Graceland Wedding Chapel instead, at what used to be the Aladdin Hotel. The original...

Remember when it was cool to eat at Planet Hollywoods? Back in 1993 when Adidas sambas, scrunchies and rolled-up jean shorts were in fashion. (And yes, we wore all three at once.)We thought that the chain bankrupted sometime in the late 1990s but it turns out someone salvaged Planet Hollywood...

At same time, Planet Hollywood has sent pink slips to...

Update: We just heard that Linda may have contributed to her own shafting. Apparently, Linda alienated the crowd by not performing her hits, at a show dubbed "Linda Ronstadt performs her greatest hits", so the crowd, and the hotel were already upset by the time Linda got political. If anyone...
