We've been working on ours for well over a week (OK, more like fifteen minutes, but hey&#151;we're New Yorkers, we're busy people!). In any case, it looks like there are a few options for you crazy hotel party crashers out there this weekend. From <b>vodka open bars</b> to <b>haunted hotels</b> to a <b>fashion editor-judged costume contest</b>, you certainly won't be twiddling your thumbs! <p>First up, <a href="<a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hudson+Hotel/local/58"><b>Hudson Hotel</b></a> has commissioned the talent of <a href="http://www.adamaleksanderpresents.com/">Adam Aleksander</a> to transform the entire hotel into a creepy, crawly, underworld lair.

Well, just in time for your last-minute panic attacks about getting a hotel room for New Year's Eve, the site has officially launched. <p>(But since it's a mobile booking site, we should really say, the app is now available to download.) <p>So what makes HotelTonight different from other booking sites? First off, the site promises exclusive, members-only rates. And becoming a member will automatically get you $10 off your first booking. Secondly, as its name suggest, Hotel Tonight enables you to book a room for that night as late as 2am.

Now we know what Madonna is doing in hotels (and with whom--cough, cough, 24-year-old Brahim Zaibat), we thought we should check in on her ex, Jesus Luz. Turns out, just like his namesake, Jesus wants to walk on water. Or, well, float on it, anyway--at New York's RoomMate Grace Hotel.

We thought that his split with Madonna may send Jesus back into the dark, cold depths of Nobodiesville but thanks to the latest issue of Page Six magazine, he gets to live again! He appears on the cover of the magazine that came with The New York Post last week, and in these photos inside, taken at the Midtown hotel most famous for its pool.

But the die-hard green beer-drinkers (and of course, college kids) will remain true to the 17th.<p>This holiday is one where a hotel room is completely necessary. You don't want to pull a Mel Gibson on this night and while some of you might have alternative sleeping arrangements (Yes!
