We feel you. So for this installment of our NBA Finals Hotels series, we encourage you to just %$#@ it and go to Las Vegas. ]]> Jenna 2008-06-16T15:50:44-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/12/94020/3425 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/kobemanipedi.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>While the Lakers-Celtics finals continues with Game 4 in Los Angeles tonight, <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/exclusive-kobe-bryant-got-a-manipedi-before-game-2">Us Weekly</a> got some dirt on what <b>Kobe Bryant</b> was doing at his hotel in Boston last week.<p>A "nail technician" told all to the trashy tab saying she was summoned to Kobe's room at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+Boston/ian/115103"><b>Four Seasons Boston</b></a> to give him a mani-pedi.<blockquote><p>"He started doing his pedicure around 5 p.m. He was watching the movie 21 and he got on his couch," [Donna] Nieves tells Us [Magazine], adding that the reigning NBA MVP was "really concerned about the appearance of his hands and feet."
