Spend the Day at the Zoo, Spend The Night at the...Zoo?

There's tons of hotel news flying around this week and we don't have time to give each and every story the love and attention it may deserve, so you will have to settle for some news briefs.

· The Columbus Zoo Hotel?: The Columbus Zoo in Ohio might be getting a hotel on-site which will surely please 5-year-old children who want to take the animals "home" with them. PETA? Not so much. [USA Today]
· Bid On Your Hotel Stay at The Graves 601: This Minneapolis hotel is letting customers decide how much their room rate should be. It's kind of like Priceline's Name Your Price feature, except you know what hotel you're getting. And that's the Graves 601. [Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal]
· Gamblin' Lady at The Borgata Sets Craps Record: It might be just what the recession-weary casinos in Atlantic City wanted to hear: a woman set the record for longest time playing craps at The Borgata with her time of 4 hours, 18 minutes. But no one knows how much she won or lost. [USA Today]
· Golden Tulip Hotels Are Bankrupt: Dutch hotel group Golden Tulip says 13 of its hotels, which it directly owns and operates, must file for bankruptcy. [Reuters]
