<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/StripClouds1.jpg" class="top"> Did you book the cheapest category room for your Las Vegas stay and the hotel refuses to give you a room above the fifth floor? Don't be too disheartened; just think of all those hotel rate high rollers who couldn't see squat for several days as low and heavy rain clouds set up residence on the Strip during the bad weather of late last week and earlier this week. In fact, the foggy and horrid weather was so bad that you couldn't even tell what hotel was what unless you already knew your Vegas hotels, or were seeing them from street level; even their glitzy rooftop marquees didn't help. Until yesterday at dawn, when the clouds lifted

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/HRHMagCover.jpg" class="top">This week we're taking a look at a dying hotel amenity--The Hotel Magazine. Sure, most hotels stock their guestrooms with the trendy magazines of the day or at least place some localized publication on the desks but there are actually a few hotels out there that still publish their own magazine. We've got our hands on a few copies of these rare breeds and we'll be documenting our finds for you here. Know of a hotel magazine we should see before it goes out of print? <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">Send it to us!</a> It almost doesn't seem fair to compare HRH, the magazine for the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hard+Rock+Las+Vegas+Hotel+and+Casino/local/595">Hard Rock Las Vegas</a>, to the other <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Hotel%20Magazines">Hotel Magazines</a> we've been reading lately.

This room doesn't look so bad. Now imagine it littered with Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie. Yeah, we know.

We think this is what they call 'synergy'. It's certainly a piece of branding news that does not surprise us—not when the two brands who've decided to hook up are the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and retailer Frederick's of Hollywood.

The two companies announced a partnership today, although we're still trying to figure out exactly what mischief they'll be getting up to. The press release calls it "an integrated marketing and media agreement" and a "strategic alliance" that will bring together "two sexy and iconic brands for women." Alrighty then ...

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/hardrockpool_layout.jpg" class="top"> You won't have to hang out with the regular folk now that SkyBar is open at the Hard Rock.Most people don't realize that Sin City's biggest party hotel, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hard+Rock+Hotel+and+Casino/local/595">The Hard Rock Las Vegas</a>, is actually a part of the boutique hotel collection, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/morgans hotel group">Morgans Hotel Group</a> which boasts such chic and cool properties like the Hudson Hotel, The Clift, The Shore Club and The Mondrian Los Angeles. But with the opening an outpost of the Mondrian's perennial celeb fave hangout, SkyBar, the gap between Morgans and Hard Rock just got a little smaller. This is the third SkyBar to open (the other two are at the Shore Club and the Mondrian LA) and it
