New York Hilton Midtown Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity...Or, At Least, Hotels
We recently mentioned an Atlantic City casino hotel that was celebrating its 10th birthday with cash giveaways and a big ol' concert. Well, that's one way to do it.
Over in Manhattan, New York Hilton Midtown is celebrating the big 5-0 by launching a new website that fills people in on the hotel's colorful history (did you know this was the first hotel to replace keys with keycards? Yeah, neither did we!).
But there's more happening here than just reminiscing over old black-and-white photos (see above).
Another component of the birthday celebrations are what the hotel is calling 50 Random Acts of Hospitality, which calls for New York Hilton Midtown employees to "engage in random acts of hospitality". In case you're wondering just what that means, the acts will include: offering complimentary room upgrades, handing out umbrellas on rainy days and helping guests score tickets to local attractions and events.
In other words, everything a hotel is supposed to do anyway.

The summer offer also gives guests a signature summer cocktail and 15 percent off from the Swissotel online shop, www.swissotelathome.com. The deal is good for stays from May 31 to September 30. But you can start booking your travel on May 16. Go here to get the discount.
· Stay Cool at The Four Seasons Dallas: Here's one way to beat the Texan heat and save a little bit of money on your hotel stay too. The Four Seasons Dallas Big Chill package gives guests a special "mercury rate" on the second night of their stay which will be that day's recorded Fahrenheit high temperature. The deal is good for weekend stays from May 31 to August 25 and just FYI, the high temps in Dallas in July and August are about 96 degrees. June is slightly "cooler" at 92 degrees. But the hotel says last year during a similar promotion, rates were as cool as 76 degrees some days. First-night rates start around $305 a night. Go here to book but be sure to check the weather for your intended stay too. The deal is also good for the Austin and Houston properties as well.

· NEW YORK: Rates in the city are, sadly, hovering around $300 a night for Memorial Day Weekend (May 24-27th.) So if you're going to pay that much don't stay at a boring chain hotel. Try the Nomad Hotel at Broadway and 28th where every room has a "vintage-furniture" feel. Need further convincing? Read the HotelChatter review complete with photos and video. Once you've made up your mind, go here to book. Rates start at $295 a night.
· THE HAMPTONS: Capri Southampton actually has rooms open for Memorial Day Weekend but you better snap them up quick. Rooms are going for $359 a night or a total of $1,277.58 including taxes and surcharges for a Friday-Monday fling. Go here to book.
· LOS ANGELES: The Sunset Tower Hotel, beloved by Jennifer Aniston and Vanity Fair, has rooms for just $199 a night over Memorial Day Weekend. Those rates are good for stays from May 25-27 and will get you a superior room with a queen bed. Need more sleeping space? Opt for a king at $249 a night. Go here to book.
· CHICAGO: We love theWit in Chicago because it has a killer rooftop (called ROOF) and with rates at just $165 a night over Memorial Day Weekend (advance purchase required), we love it even more. ROOF has also just unveiled a new permanent 20' x 12' 3D installation called "theWall" which is similar to the kinds of crazy sexy cool productions found at EDMs. Need another reason to stay at theWit for Memorial Day? Lil Jon will be hosting the first ROOF Sundays event on May 26. Go here to book your room.
· D.C.: We found the Hotel George, a Kimpton Hotel going for $161 a night on TripAdvisor's new booking site, Tingo.com. If you are't familiar with Tingo, then read our recent story here. Basically, this booking site will refund your money if the room rate drops before your stay. And according to a little pop-up note on the Hotel George listing, the price has dropped a whopping 121 times in seven days. So your odds look good. And if the rate doesn't drop, at least you can make good use of Kimpton's free wine hour.

Go Borgata, It's Your Birthday! They're Doling Out Deals Like It's Your Birthday
As we all know, Atlantic City has never had trouble finding a reason to throw a party (last year, it was the opening of Revel, which was celebrated over multiple weekends).
Now, it's The Borgata's turn to crank up the volume, as the casino hotel's big 10th anniversary is fast approaching, and you can bet (heh) they're going out of their way to let you know about it.

Tingo Is Its Name-O But Do You Play Their Game-O?
Hotel booking site, Tingo.com arrived on the scene about a year ago, promising to give money back to hotel guests if the rates dropped after they made their reservation but before they arrived for their stay. The site also helps guests who book with them get free room upgrades too. Clearly, it's not your average point, click and enter in your credit card booking site.
When we first checked it out, we compared it to a game show and a year later, not much has changed. The booking process is straightforward but we imagine after you book your room, you will be keeping your fingers crossed and hopping up and down hoping to get some money back. But you may not need to do that as chances are pretty good you will "win" if you book with Tingo.
For its first birthday Tingo, which is part of TripAdvisor, has put out a new infographic claiming to have refunded over $371,000 to travelers. (Actually, the number is now over $400,000.) The average refund per guest has also risen from $47.69 to $54.30. A recent article on Tingo even tells how one lucky guest was refunded $1,878.73 for her trip in the Dominican Republic. Um...yes, please?
But perhaps the most compelling stat is that 44 percent of customers who booked with Tingo got a better deal, either with a Money Back refund or a room upgrade.

What's on Deck for Tomorrow at HotelTonight
We mean "tomorrow" as in the future.
"Back where it all began." HotelTonight founder and CEO Sam Shank reflects for a moment, and takes a bite of a kettle-cooked potato chip.
We're chilling at the bar in the far back of the bustling lobby of The Ace, where, in late 2010, Shank launched HotelTonight and which now inspires the interior design of the HT headquarters on the other side of the country.
Has it already been more than two years?! HT still seems like the hot new thing, though they've grown to a staff of over 80 and now support 5 languages and 6 currencies for properties on sale in 12 countries. Their most recent "big news" came only last week, as they welcomed hotels in Rome, Florence, Madrid and Barcelona to the app and showed off their snazzy SF digs in a episode of TechCrunch's TC Cribs. Heck, you know we're already fans; last week we booked three nights in two countries using HotelTonight.
