Free Stuff For Guests Who Check-In Wearing a Bikini at The Clarendon Hotel

We don't know about you, but the only time you'll catch us in a bathing suit is when there is a large body of water around. Otherwise, it's cover-up city. Matthew McConaughey we are not.
Evilly, the Clarendon Hotel and Suites Phoenix seems to be playing on this weakness with another of our weaknesses: free stuff. Through the end of the summer, the hotel is offering Bikini Check-In, where guests who check in wearing a bikini, swim trunks or a Speedo receive a $20 credit for poolside service, room service or use at the hotel's Mexican restaurant.
One look at The Oasis, the Clarendon's swimming pool with underwater speakers, massaging water jets, 50-person Jacuzzi, sun beds and free poolside Wi-Fi and suddenly we don't feel so shy. Excuse us while we slip into something a little more revealing, head to the pool and finish the workday with our laptop and a mai tai by our side.

Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map Contest: It's the Perfect Christmas Gift

Go Straight to the Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map
Way back when we first introduced the Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map, we promised to unroll the second and third installments in a timely manner. See, we started off with the High Rollers like the Wynn, Caesars and The Venetian. Next we were going to bring forth the Breaking Even places like the Hard Rock and Paris. Then we would point you to the hotels that seem to be Crapping Out. Excalibur anyone?
We also wanted you to send us your wild Vegas stories and we would pick the lucky winner with the wildest story to win Rough Guides Las Vegas guide book pack.
Then life got in the way. Britney Spears showing off her lady friend, Thanksgiving, Honduras, Pam and Kid Rock divorcing, Amsterdam, Mexico hotel reviews, Art Basel, etc.
We extended the contest by a few weeks but in reality, that wasn't fair, especially since we still have like 20 hotels to add to our map.
So we're striking a deal. We promise to unveil our complete Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map featuring all three tiers--High Rollers, Breaking Even and Crapping Out--in the next couple of weeks and in exchange we give you until Jan. 12, 2007 to send us your Vegas hotel stories. Remember, these stories have to at least involve one of the Vegas hotels but doesn't have to be restricted to the ones that are on our map. Who knows? Maybe your story at Terrible's Casino is so damn good that we had to add that crappy hotel to our map...on the Crapping Out tier of course.
A couple examples of the good and bad Vegas hotel stories we have received thus far post jump.
