I'm not sure if you can see the "unique page views" counter on this blog or not but, as of Friday afternoon, people prefer to read about Slots A Fun than about the bizarre reasoning patterns of one Donald J. Trump, 208 to 148. If that were an election, Trump would be losing by a double-digit margin. It's Slots A Fun in a landslide!
It's worse still if you're CityCenter's Aria and Vdara hotels because you're getting crushed -- crushed! -- by the Cabana Suites at the El Cortez. By an over two-to-one margin (1,537 vs. 755) people would rather look at hotel-room photos of "the El."
It gets better. In his Los Angeles Times blog, Richard Abowitz pronounces the Cabana Suites, "the nicest rooms in downtown Vegas, even nicer than the ones I've seen at the Golden Nugget ... a new alternative that allows you to see the the dirty urban origins of Vegas without having to take a cut in the contemporary Vegas luxury experience."
Somebody better hide that copy from tempestuous Nugget owner Tilman Fertitta. He's not going to "friend" Abowitz after he reads it.
I worship the El Cortez, to the degree that my wife made sure I got my hair cut at the Barber Shop for the religious value (or to shut me up). But, I would be hard pressed to find the Cabana Suites much better than the Golden Nugget Gold Club room we stayed at last weekend. I do think it is amazing that we are having an "Infiniti or Lexus" argument regarding Downtown properties.
