George Maloof, owner/hotelier of The Palms brand in Las Vegas, did a Q&A interview with Women's Wear Daily (the fashion bible for anyone in fashion and design biz) about the panic in Las Vegas over tourism drops and the lighter wallets of Americans.

Things we learn about George Maloof:

· He's a junior!
· He played football at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
· He wants the Palms to be the ultimate party hotel where people come to get away and "maybe [take] their minds off the economy."
· He still doesn't have an outfit for the hotel's Midsummer Night's Dream Party in two weeks.
· Sorta considers him a leader of Las Vegas.

When Maloof launched his six 10,000 square foot Sky Villas atop the new 40-story fantasy tower at Palms Hotel last spring, some wondered who in the world would book these places for upwards of $40,000 a night.

Not us.

Britney Spears's latest X, Isaac Cohen, is telling anyone that will listen what exactly two kids in love do to pass the time in a two-story suite, equipped with a rotating bed, mirrored ceilings, and an infinity Jacuzzi spa bath on the rooftop.

Britney is not shy about her body so she slowly stripped off her clothes and beckoned me to join her under the stars in the pool. It was an amazing view over the Las Vegas strip. But we didn't stay long as we wanted to try out the bed.

So we clambered on and I grabbed the remote and started it turning round and round. All the time as we made love we watched ourselves in the mirrored ceiling.

It was amazing but we did it so many times it made us start to feel sick. We had to turn it off.

Late last year the Yahoo Publisher Network rented out the very same villa for a party. Something tells us the guys in the photo after the jump didn't have the same experience as Isaac Cohen.

Then again, what do we know.

Point is, Maloof is the master of attracting tech geeks and celebrities--no matter the nightly rate.
