Over at HotelChatter, we're already obsessing over hotels that have begun offering rewards and incentives for guests via the newest little darling of the social media world, Foursquare. (For a little tutorial on Foursquare, go here.

But we've already noticed a huge presence in Las Vegas. Case in point? The Miracle Mile shops have started advertising their Foursquare promotions on their mega video screens. From this Flickr photo from the Foursquare co-founder, it says that Miracle Mile will give any "mayors" on Foursquare, will have their photo and their text shown live on the screen.]]> juliana 2010-03-11T23:42:04-05:00 http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2010/3/9/181816/7773 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.vegaschatter.com/files/1425/privevegasflyer.jpg" class="top"><p> <i>Harrah's is probably saying, "If you didn't pay your rent, then get the F*%K out!</i><p>Now that <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/harrah's">Harrah's</a> has acquired <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/planet hollywood"><b>Planet Hollywood</b></a>, things aren't looking so good for the troublesome nightclub, <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/prive">Privé</a>.<p>The club ran into trouble over the summer, even losing its liquor license for a bit because of <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2009/7/24/05514/2514/vegas-travel/Prive_and_The_Living_Room_at_Planet_Hollywood_To_Close_Next_Week">shady activity</a> going on inside the club.

We have good news and bad news. The good: after its hiatus, Peepshow is back today with the lovely little Holly Madison at its helm. The even better news: Aubrey O'Day is gone. The bad news: there’s no celeb replacing her.

We, of course, were hoping that our beloved Mel B might surprise us all and get her cans out as the Peep Diva one more time, but it’s not to be. The part is going to be played by Cheaza (us neither), who was previously one of the “sexy Peepshow singers.” Cheaza, we’re sure you’re wonderful, but we were really hoping for a famous rack to gawp at. Damn that recession. ]]> juliab 2010-03-01T15:12:51-05:00 36.1089510 -115.17270 http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2010/2/18/02633/2059 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.vegaschatter.com/files/1425/viewfromkoi.jpg" class="top"><p> This was our view from the <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/koi"><b>Koi</b></a> sushi restaurant inside <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/planet hollywood">Planet Hollywood</a>, one of our favorite sushi restaurants on the Strip. The best part about this view? We had prime viewing of the Bellagio fountains. <p>Even better, we didn't need to grease anybody with tightly rolled twenties to get this view, on a Saturday night, either. We called Koi at 7pm, asking and receiving a reservation for two people at 8pm. When we arrived, we were politely told that we couldn't carry in any outside drink (we were swigging a mini-bottle of Chardonnay). So we chugged our vino and then the hostess promptly sat us in the intimate back room seating area, which you juliana 2010-02-18T00:27:02-05:00 http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2010/2/10/114840/246 <![CDATA[<p><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1321361467" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=65768814001&playerId=1321361467&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://console.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=false&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="486" height="412" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed><p><i><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/2/8/11957/82185/hotels/Guess_The_Hotel_s_Obsession_With_Dead_Hollywood_Stars">Guess The Hotel</a> revealed!!!</i><p>We braved the Super Bowl madness over the weekend and checked into the new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/PH+TOWERS+BY+WESTGATE/local/1658"><b>PH Towers By Westgate</b></a>, adjacent to the <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/planet hollywood">Planet Hollywood</a> in Las Vegas.<p> Overall, we were happy with what we got for our money, especially since we read some <a href="http://www.travelpost.com/hotels/PH_Towers_A_Westgate_Resort/hid309340">awful reviews on TravelPost</a> before we got there.
