ZOMG! The Westin Riverfront is finally open. At least that's what they tell us. We've also heard rumors that there's an opening gala tonight, but we weren't invited. Sad face. We can't wait to check out this new place for ourselves, especially with it's fancy "green" features: recycling stations...

We always get excited about hotel opening rates as it's usually means way cheaper rates than what you can expect from an "established" hotel. And while we are excited that the brand-new Westin in Avon/Beaver Creek, Colo. has opened up the reservations line, the actual opening is still a loooong...
