The owner has <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gkPYIWqNS_9RGWv_xiToaVZ_D2YgD92Q0E503">struck an agreement</a> with Hyatt to serve alcohol in the hotel's restaurant on the 40th floor. This restaurant will actually be a Hyatt enterprise so the sheik doesn't have to be involved in the sale juliana 2008-08-26T16:20:26-05:00 Loyalty Program News :: Earn a Free Night at Hyatt Fast http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/8/24/95053/4256 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/amerisuites_1000.jpg">If by some chance, you didn't earn a free night at a Hyatt <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/7/18/82436/6379/hotels/Loyalty_Program_News_Free_Summer_Night_for_Hyatt_Gold_Passport_Members">this summer</a>, there's another chance for you to do so this fall.<p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Hyatt%20Gold%20Passport"><b>Hyatt Gold Passport</b></a> members should be giddy at the easy free nights they can pick up during the leaf-peeping season.<p>Beginning September 1, Hyatt guests enrolled in the Gold Passport program will earn one free night after every two paid nights.

In our latest edition of Viva Vegas Hotel Construction Updates we have two pretty big developments, both which - not surprisingly - are caused by the credit slowdown that's affecting everyone nowadays.

First, Elad Properties has announced that they are delaying the construction start of The Plaza until "sometime in 2009" (we won't hold our breath) but are still fully committed to finishing the project.
