Las Vegas hotels come in all shapes and sizes, and they seem to change those shapes and sizes yearly. One of the few constants on the strip is a Vegas hotel located at the north end of the Strip. This hotel is celebrating it’s 55th year of existence which is equivalent to the life span of about 5 hotels in Las Vegas. It is The Sahara.
The Sahara has seen so many highs and lows that it would take 50 posts to cover them all. Some of the notables though are: Being the setting for the original “Ocean’s eleven” film, hosting the Beatles and of course Dean Martin.

On Friday Jan 26th 2008 a fire swept through the top two floors of the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas. Amazingly the majority of the fire was on the exterior of the building. I will repeat that.. the majority of the fire was on the EXTERIOR of the building.
Am I the only person on the planet that finds this a little odd? I mean the majority of flammables and fire starters. The exterior of the Monte Carlo is apparently sprayed with a textured “foam like building material” that is extremely flammable.
Fire Chief Steve Smithsaid it was too early to assess damage or say what caused the fire, which began just before 11 a.m. There was no immediate indication of criminal activity or arson, but "nothing is ruled out at this time," he said.
Let’s hope they get this sorted out, and this is just a thought .. but maybe you guys should not spray flammable foam on the outside of your billion dollar resorts.

The newest resort in Las Vegas is set to have it’s grand opening this week. The $1.9 billion Palazzo is a first in a new generation of Las Vegas resorts.
Instead of being a theme based hotel such as a pyramid or an ancient roman palace, Palazzo is the first in what is soon to be a succession of hotels that are going for a newer more sleek architecture.

The rebranded Planet Hollywood casino-hotel opened in Las Vegas over the weekend with a slew of celebrities on hand.
Singer Barbra Streisand, Sylverster Stallone, James Brolin, Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Spacey and Demi Moore were among those who attended the grand opening.
Will be interesting to see as they did some re-modeling to the already impressive Aladdin. As you can see the outside looks nothing like the desert themed Aladdin

Las Vegas is in a desert, yet, it displays some of the largest and most exciting water shows in the world. How much water do these extravagant contraptions waste in one day? And where do they get the water anyways?
