Ever since THEHotel opened in late 2003 the golden sister tower of Mandalay Bay has been THE only game in town if you wanted a boutique hotel experience in Vegas.

The thing about THEHotel is despite having a monopoly on boutique Vegas, guests always seemed to come away from THE feeling a little...exhausted. Not because of the all night Vegas benders, but instead exhausted from the über pretentious overuse of THE nomenclature.

For years Vegas visitors such as the original Gridskipper (Way back in the Krucoff/Denton days -- Gridskipper link no longer active) were asking, "when will THEHotel hit the wall?" Well, in our opinion, THEHotel hit the wall back in April '05, when Wynn Las Vegas opened.

However, despite the Wynn, three years later THEHotel was still able to keep a death grip on Vegas goers looking for something boutique. That is, until Palms Place opened in June and redefined the Vegas boutique hotel experience.

Stay tuned for our full review tomorrow. We promise it will be more exciting than the VMAs.
