Irving: NYLO Las Colinas' First Baby Steps Appear to Be Steady

NYLO Las Colinas opened its doors in July with a lovely ribbon-cutting ceremony, after lots of anticipation and a whole lotta slowdown with the chain's expansion. Better late than never on this one, we suppose — the NYLO chain has been a fave of HC's since the first property opened in Dallas in winter of 2007, and its middle child was born in Warwick, Rhode Island and now Irving, Texas (Las Colinas) boasts the third property in the still-young chain.

So, how does property number three appear to be faring? So far, so good — at least according to the lone review of the place on TripAdvisor.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/xsniteclub.jpg" class="top"> Okay, kiddies. Can't we all agree that suing each other over the gimmicky use of two consonants is a little...excessive? Or should we say "XS-ive"? According to local Las Vegas news station <a href="http://www.kvbc.com/Global/story.asp?S=10729619">KVBC</a>, Wynn Resorts filed a lawsuit on Monday in U.S. District Court against <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/nylo hotels">NYLO Hotels</a>. The dispute? Who has the rights to "XS." Yes, really. Reportedly, NYLO had "asserted rights" to the trademark "XS" perhaps a marketing tie-in for their yet-to-happen XP brand? and had "offered to let Wynn pay a licensing fee to use the name for the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/3/3/15923/38761/hotels/A_Night_of_XS_At_Encore_Las_Vegas">club at Encore.</a>" How generous of them! The suit Wynn is filing against NYLO says its use of "XS" doesn't

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/2009BER.jpg" class="top"> It's no secret that the economy has had a massive impact on the hotel industry. Hotel openings have been delayed; construction has been halted on properties in development; jobs have been lost; room rates have been slashed but the last several years also saw a boom in the introduction of new brands and a handful of entirely new, supposedly game-changing segments (the "budget chic" pack, for example). Naturally, with the introduction of each new brand came a wave of hype and some big, big expansion plans and then came the recession. Needless to say, those big plans changed. Here's a look at the current state of some of those newer brands a progress report,

They've also been green during the building process: they used construction techniques which "reduced the need for excessive materials" (we hope they still used enough, though) and they've installed hi-tech electrical and plumbing systems which are
