We should probably stop writing about Hooters Casino Hotel in Las Vegas, but we just can't keep away.

Vegas 4 Visitor's Rick Garmen goes inside the Orange hooter-ific lair and finds he neither hates nor loves the place, which is probably how most people feel about Hooters in general.

I have to say there is a certain amount of "painting the pig" going on. You can still see the remnants of the old hotel lurking here and there, like in the elevators, which have gotten a nice interior makeover -- but designers left the scarred and pitted doors and control panels....[And] don't expect to have your room service delivered by a hot chick in tight shorts....Now here's where we get to the biggest issue regarding Hooters -- the price. Random checks of room rates over the next couple of months mostly returned $125 to $175 a night during the week and well over $200 a night on the weekends. That is just way too much money to pay for this hotel, unless you are a total devotee to the brand.

Also Garman reports that the pool area will become a bona fide tourist spot when it opens this Spring. We think it will be somewhat of a cross between the Palms and your community pool.
