<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/NFLonTV.jpg" class="top"> Whats the best thing about Monday? Easy: Monday night. After dragging ourselves through the always-difficult first day back at work, we suddenly remember that theres Monday Night Football ahead of us. The afternoon brightens, and we start plotting how were going to watch the game. On our own couch, our friends couch, or, the best option of allout at a bar where we can holler at the flat screens and make new friends and enemies out of our fellow football fans doing likewise. Hotel lobby bars in general can be good places to catch the game, but some go out of out their way to cater to NFL fanatics with rate promotions, drinks specials, and game-friendly bar

But we were taken aback when we saw this: The Wynn Intimacy Kit atop the mini-bar at <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/encore">The Encore Las Vegas.</a> Old people use hotel sex kits? We kid, we kid.

Certainly, the average hotel guest age

There has been a lot of talk recently about the lifestyle of digital nomads -- folks who work from wherever they might roam. HotelChatter has been covering hotel wifi since the beginning, but as we cited in our 2009 annual hotel wifi report times they are a changin'.

It's time for us to start rating hotel lobbies on their digital nomad quotient. We continue this series with the Encore Las Vegas where we found ourselves hanging out yesterday at the hotel's Lobby Bar and Cafe.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/stevewynn60mins.jpg" class="top"> Last night, CBS' 60 Minutes aired a segment on <a hre="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/steve wynn">Steve Wynn</a>, aptly titled "The King of Las Vegas." We assume it was mostly supposed to focus on exactly how Wynn "The Man With the Midas Touch has kept his company afloat and has even managed to open up a new property (<A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Encore+Las+Vegas/local/1397">Encore Las Vegas</a>, if you're just tuning in) during these tough economic times, but it was mostly a Steve-Wynn-is-awesome piece. Which we don't mind at all, because Steve Wynn is pretty awesome.
