Out with the Old and Wynn With The New Resort Deluxe Rooms

A newly renovated Resort Deluxe king room at the Wynn

After five years, Wynn Las Vegas was due for a renovation in their guest rooms and that's just what they've announced today. And not only have the room looks been upgraded, there's a name change too from Resort to Resort Deluxe:

The new Resort Deluxe room offers a modern update to our classic resort room.  Featuring a crisp, neutral and creamy decor, the Resort Deluxe is draped in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and accented by an array of contemporary furnishings and fabrics. Additional, advance technologies including remotely controlled lighting, drapery and room service messaging are the pinnacle of guest convenience and privacy.

But you can rest assured that the vivid floral artwork will remain!

The Revamped Alexis Park Has New Rooms and Low Prices

The Rumor may have been garnering all the attention lately, but it looks like that’s not the only thing that’s been going under the knife down on Harmon – the Alexis Park is talking about its own extreme makeover on its Twitter account. And, dare we say it, it looks rather nice.

We always had the AP down as a bit grotters, but now we’re rethinking our stance. First up, it has a blog. Second, it trumpets the fact that it’s LGBT friendly, and that we love.

And third, these new rooms – or suites, rather – look pretty decent. They’re not as sexy as the Rumor, of course, and they’re unlikely to win any prizes for design (also the bedroom parts of the suites look pretty small), but they look bright and breezy and, most importantly, clean – see the gallery here.

Facebook 'Dislikes' The Trop's Plans For a New Ceiling

Good morning! And what a lovely one it is. Were sitting here at our computer, sipping on a cup of tea and stalking our crushes on Facebook – just a normal day at VegasChatter Towers.

As we were doing this the other day, we couldn’t help noticing that one of our crushes was teasing us with some sexy new photos. That’s right – the Tropicana, that feisty little madam, was posting a surgeon’s mockup of how she’s going to look after her surgery.

How will she look? Not too much different to how she’s looking right now, to be honest – apart from we can’t help noticing that that pit floor ceiling looks rather different from the beauteous beast that’s up there now:

The Tropicana Gets Sexier Every Time We Visit

A plea to the Trop: PLEASE don’t get rid of this stained glass ceiling. PLEASE DON’T DO IT.

Yesterday’s eyecandy: Mr Tom Lowe. Today’s: The Trop, as it gets ever sexier. It’s been a while since we drooled over its rooms, but when we popped by this weekend, we couldn’t help noticing that the casino is shaping up as nicely as the Paradise Tower.

It’s still a work in progress but now you can definitely see the shape things are going to take. And we like. We like a lot.

The Tropicana's New Pool Is Nice, Except For The Douchebag Chairs

In light of the Nikki Beach coming to the Trop confirmation yesterday, we thought we’d string out the anticipation of our review of our stay there with some shots of what the pool sitch is right now. Last time we were round at the hotel (just last month), the pool was a building site, so we weren’t expecting much.

But doesn’t it look pretty? Haven’t they done well with the pink flowers and everyfing? Very un-Vegas. We likey. Also, there’s more pool than you can see in these pics – it stretches under the walkway we were standing on for the top picture, and pops out the other side.

The Writing May Not Be On The Wall For Long At The Trop

Last chance to get photos like this?

We’ve been admiring the progress of the new Tropicana signs over the past week (even if they do use it to virtually pleasure Ryan Seacrest). We thought they were pretty nice, what with their moving pictures nice new ads and snazzy new logo.

But then we wondered, what does that mean for the writing (as in lettering) on the wall? Because it’d be a shame to lose that.

So when we stayed there at the weekend, we asked a doorman. And we were told that yes, it will be changed. First he said it’d be the same scripty lettering as on the new marquees. Then when we looked sad, he said they might keep the old letters, and just light them up scarlet.

Tropicana's New Paradise Tower Rooms are Hot Hot Hot

UPDATE 4/8: We just added a video. Enjoy!

After our visit to the Tropicana casino last week, we couldn’t wait to see the new rooms in the Paradise Tower (the one directly opposite Excalibur). And yesterday, we finally got a peek.

We’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but for what we think of a cheap Vegas hotel, we found it pretty revelatory. This is a standard (they call it deluxe) room but it has a chaise longue, shutters instead of fugly curtains, and nice decor. It has rattan drawers* instead of boring wood, a carpet we approve of and a cute candy striped bathroom.

The Trop's New Carpet: Leafy Or Luscious?

Over on our sister website, HotelChatter, we have an entirely reasonable obsession with hotel carpets. Which is why, when we finally made it for a poke round the Tropicana and its renovations yesterday, we were mainly obsessed by the new carpet they’ve chosen.

Cross Your Fingers - The New Tropicana Is Looking Good

We have to admit, we haven’t been inside the Tropicana for a while, but we’re looking forward to le grand relaunch when it opens its new Paradise Tower on April 1.

And now we’re thinking we should probably pop by the casino a little earlier, since @VegasGalB, who works there, posted these pics of the renovations (which are halfway there) yesterday.

Leona Lewis, Mel B and Possibly Sharon Osbourne Are Turning Up For Matt Goss Tomorrow

So as you’ll know if you follow us on Twitter (hint: follow us on Twitter), we went down to Cleo’s Barge this lunchtime to earwig on the Goss rehearsals, along with a load of passers by, before being asked to leave on the orders of Robin Antin (was it something we said?) Apparently, they're "not ready for the public” so we shouldn't be watching (who knew that’s what the word “rehearsal” meant?)

Cleo's Barge Finally Gets Her Matt Goss Makeover

Finally. Finally! After all our griping about Cleopatra’s Barge being a) a bit gross and b) not refurbished for Matt Goss’ arrival, we swung by yesterday, when we bought our ticket for the opening night of Goss, to find the curtains up again, the smell of glue and paint in the air, and lots of workmen going in and out with wheelbarrows, carpets and studious looks on their faces. Hallelujah, Caesars. Hallelujah.

By peeking through the curtains and enlisting the services of our Caesars spy, we discovered the following:
