Woody stars as a fuck-up heir to an old-school casino, The Rabbit's Foot, and due to his excessive drug use and poor management style, the casino is in peril.<p> A mega-Vegas hotelier/developer named Steve Lavisch (hah, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/stevewynn">get it?</a>), played by Michael McKeen, wants to demolish it and build <b>One Lavisch Plaza.</b> One Lavish Plaza is actually a skyscraper hotel that consists of just one room, available for for $10 million a night. juliana 2008-06-27T15:10:06-05:00 36.169746 -115.14547 Las Vegas: The True Adventures of Marital Bliss Inside the Golden Nugget Spa Suite http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/5/21/122947/446 <![CDATA[<p><i>We now present you with our <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/VIP%20Hotel%20Reviewer%20Series"><b>VIP Hotel Reviewer Series</b></a> in which we hand-pick experts in the travel and media worlds and beyond to tell us what are their favorite hotels and why.

But if you look at some of the other reality shows about hotels and how they work or who's running them you will see a not-so-startling pattern: reality shows featuring hoteliers and hotels suck.

That may be a harsh statement but let us now present the evidence: Casino, Party @ the Palms With Jenny McCarthy, Inn Love, Welcome to the Parker and Real Housewives of New York City.

I have never had a problem. This year stayed in the North Tower, which is much closer to the casino, elevator opens right next to the casino floor and sundries shop. The North Tower is $25 per night more than the South Tower but worth the cost for the proximity, juliana 2007-05-09T15:21:33-05:00 36.169746 -115.14547 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
