If you've noticed less blogorrhea from yours truly of late, it's because I'm currently combing through old "Question of the Day" entries, working on a new cross-referencing system. But that doesn't mean I haven't found some interesting stats. For instance, look what's happened at the Las Vegas Tropicana since current owner Columbia Sussex took over, on Jan. 3, 2007:
• On Jan. 5, the free slot-pull promotion was terminated.
• Wi-fi access has increased in price from $11.99 to $14.95.
• Prices for Titanic: The Exhibition have been hiked. LasVegasAdvisor.com lists the new admission fee as $22, but an online purchase will cost you $24.50. (Ironic Touch Dept.: Even though the Titanic exhibit will soon be moving to Luxor, the Trop's Web site obliviously shouts, "Returning Due to Popular Demand!"
• As of the summer of 2005, the ratio of maids to rooms at Wynn Las Vegas was 1 maid for every 3.5 rooms. A conservative estimate of the same ratio at the Trop is 1 maid for every 12 rooms (on some floors, it's a 1-to-22 ratio).
Yup, when it comes to squeezing a penny 'til it drips blood, you can't beat Columbia Sussex. Too bad that the "collateral damage" is that the erstwhile "Tiffany of the Strip" has been reduced to a tarnished garnet.
