Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable.

New York: Kathy Griffin, What Are You Doing?

Las Vegas: Strip Views May Just Be A Mirage In These Swanky Vegas Suites

For once, you may not want to stay in the penthouse

We may have been unimpressed by our Strip view being obscured by Donny and Marie at the Flamingo Las Vegas, but we - and the Flamingo - aren't the only ones.

HotelChatter reader Stan contacted us to say that he felt for us, having experienced the same at the Mirage. Only problem is, he wasn't talking about a $45 room as we were. He was talking about a high falutin suite.
