The Only Thing Wrong With The Lego Camp at Atlantis is That We Can't Participate

O.M.G. Remember when we got all excited about the prospect of a Lego Hotel?

Yeah, well, just like personalized jet-packs for space travel, that hasn't happened. But there is another piece of Lego hotel news that's pretty awesome, even if it's taking place at the mega-zoo that is Atlantis in the Bahamas. It's Lego Fantasy Camp. Yes! Lego Camp.

You can only sign up if you're aged 6–12 but we're still trying to brainstorm a way around that one, so let's look at what's involved in the meantime. The five-day Lego workshops will take place in the new kids club, Atlantis Kids Adventures, in three separate sessions in July: 12–16; 19–23; and 26–30.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/OneOnlyBahamas.jpg" class="top">We don't know about you but we feel like it's been a mighty long week. We're sick of stomping on dirty snow in New York, and now it's melting and dripping off buildings and trees onto our heads. Gross. That's why we're finding our end-of-week solace in this snapshot of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Killer%20View">Killer View</a> from the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/One+&+Only+Ocean+Club/ian/141105">One & Only Ocean Club</a> in the Bahamas. We dropped by this super-posh property last summerwe were too poor to stay over, but we did grab a mojito at the Pool Terrace Cafe. (Ordering rum punch in such classy surroundings just seemed... well, wrong.) Our tip to anyone doing likewise, however, is this: When you ask the front desk staff

Carrie Underwood fans should pack their bags for the Bahamas. If you stay at the Atlantis, Paradise Island on December 5, you'll get free tickets to see the American Idol winner rock the stage at the hotel.

The event will mark the country crooner's first concert following the release of her new album Play On. Underwood, a four-time Grammy winner and the Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, will perform outside the hotel on the gorgeous beach.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Comfort_Suites_Paradise_Island_Bahamas.jpg" class="top"> If you're feeling the pinch but are pining for a tropical Bahamas getaway, then you can probably still enjoy a Bahamas lifestyle at a cheaper resort like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Comfort+Suites+Paradise+Island/ian/213481">Comfort Suites Paradise Island</a>. With fancier places <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/5/13/122218/964/hotels/Four_Seasons_Exuma_in_the_Bahamas_Will_Close_in_Two_Weeks">closing down</a>, it might even be a smart move that ensures your hotel is still running when you arrive. A deal for the Comfort Suites Paradise Island crossed our desk this week that got us pretty excited: $99 a night for a double, including breakfast but there's one biggish catch. You must either be a travel agent, be related to one, or be really good friends with one. If you are, you're in luck and can score this

Afterall, who knows when we will ever get back to the Bahamas? And if we do get back there, we already know <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Pineapple+Fields+Hotel+Condo/ian/234177">where we are going</a>.So we shacked up at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cove+Atlantis/local/500">The Cove</a> on our own dime and not part of the scheduled press trip. We've been dying to check out The Cove since it opened last year--it must have been the initial <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/5/14/101044/598/hotels/Celebrities_Swarm_the_Cove_at_Atlantis_for_Hotel_Opening_Party">celebrity draw</a> that got us hooked. And we were expected to love the place, especially after a few days of idle island living on Eleuthera. But
