Heard Around the Hotel World, Volume IV: Nicky O Rumbles Again

We have spies all over the hotel industry who like to send various miscellaneous tips our way. Some of these are post-worthy, others are not much more than one sentence tid-bits. So here's the latest batch of whispers through the hotel grapevine.
· Several tipsters have pointed us in the way of a Miami-area blog that reported Nicky O South Beach might be coming back from the dead. Honestly, we cannot go through this again.
· The first phase of renovations at the Desert Springs JW Marriott are done and include an atrium lobby, a 60-foot sushi bar and an area for wine and cigar tastings. The spa is set for a 2007 opening.
· In case you missed it, an inside source reports that when the cast of The Hills visited the W Westwood Los Angeles they actually ate a full-course meal, not just dessert so blame the MTV editing department.
· We said the The Las Vegas Hilton is crapping out but geeks still admire it for their Star Trek experience. Should they just turn it into the Star Trek Hotel & Casino or what?
If you got a hot tip, spill it.
