Its almost our favorite time of the year, where we get to laze by the pool, sipping on umbrella-topped cocktails. But really, that seems so 1990s, right?

Two main players in the hotel music world are really getting the shake-up this month, and all we can do for now is sit back and watch (or, you know, listen) as the changes come to pass. For starters, let's face the awful truth that The Algonquin is saying bye-bye...

Hotel wallpaper: underused but always appreciated when it does make an appearance. As long as its funky wallpaper, not gross stuff like youd find in your nans back room. One of our lasting memories of the rooms at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas is opening the cupboards and seeing the...

Donald Trump keeps getting dissed. First President Obama whips out his birth certificate to put to rest the Donald's lame "birther" conspiracy.

A holiday weekend in Vegas? It's surprisingly cheap, particularly because Vegas hotels are still, generally, dying for visitors. As always, it's to the booking engine we go. For Saturday night, we found the Bellagio up for grabs at $243, the Venetian at $259 and the Wynn at $253. Two...
