Its always fun to read someone elses first take of a place that youve covered, well, quite intimately.

If Steve Wynns last two Sin City resorts Wynn Las Vegas in 2005 and the Bellagio in 1998 were about bringing a whiff of Park Avenue to the Strip, the Encore is about the hoteliers loosening his pearls and swinging a little, writes the Times Brooks Barnes.

We landed the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/MGM+Grand+Hotel+And+Casino/local/69">MGM Grand</a> for our second night in Sin City, which we were very excited about. And although we got zilch in the way of upgrades and vouchers at check-in, we rather liked our room it was a little old-looking, but it had a pretty super view of mountains and McCarran airport. We could have watched the planes coming in all day. Unluckily for us, as it turned out, we didnt. We went out instead.

If we told you that there was a Barbie Suite in Las Vegas you would be kind of interested. Because you know it would be over-the-top. And pink. And sorta crazy in a cute bachelorette party-ish way. Or perhaps someone would have enough sense to use it as the set for the nobody-can-believe-this-is-a-real-show reality mess The Cougar.
