<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/vegasvday.jpg" class="top"> Yes, we <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/22/224153/901/hotels/Our_Last_Post_About_Valentine_s_Day_Hotels_">swore off V-day packages</a> here on HotelChatter but we promise this story does not involve champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and massage oil. A friend of ours recently wanted to surprise his wife with a getaway to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/city/las%20vegas">Las Vegas</a> for Valentine's Day. We started to help him look for good deals but it turns out Vegas is actually pretty sold-out this Saturday. A cursory look at Expedia today does show some availability but at steep rates: Wynn is for $879; Venetian for $499 and the Stratosphere--which offers rooms for $25 during the week--is going for $279 a night. So how can you do Vegas for V-day on the cheap? The Answer? Stay on Sunday night.

That's the intent, 'cause that's the effect you will feel looking off your Palms Place balcony down towards the immaculate pool area from high in the Vegas sky. Thanks to a recession that turned condo hotels into more hotel than condo, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Palms+Place+Hotel+and+Spa/local/930">Palms Place</a> is THE boutique alternative to THEHotel in Las Vegas. The property opened its doors May 31, 2008 and is still sporting that new hotel smell. Furthermore, Palms Place is gorgeous to look at, comfortable to stay in, and makes you feel like you have separated yourself a bit from the Vegas riff raff. Not to worry, the riff raff is only

The thing about THEHotel is despite having a monopoly on boutique Vegas, guests always seemed to come away from THE feeling a little...exhausted. Not because of the all night Vegas benders, but instead exhausted from the über pretentious overuse of THE nomenclature.

Las Vegas: George Maloof on Vegas Tourism Fears:: "Everybody Needs to Take a Chill Pill"

juliana — 2008-08-06T10:00:05-05:00

George Maloof, owner/hotelier of The Palms brand in Las Vegas, did a Q&A interview with Women's Wear Daily (the fashion bible for anyone in fashion and design biz) about the panic in Las Vegas over tourism drops and the lighter wallets of Americans.

Things we learn about George Maloof:

· He's a junior!
· He played football at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
· He wants the Palms to be the ultimate party hotel where people come to get away and "maybe [take] their minds off the economy."
· He still doesn't have an outfit for the hotel's Midsummer Night's Dream Party in two weeks.
· Sorta considers him a leader of Las Vegas.
