"In the heart of Little Italy, rooms contain a queen bed, TV, and refrigerator. A coinoperated laundry is on the premises, as well as free parking. Great Italian restaurants are just outside."

"Nobu? Check. Rooftop pool and skimpy waitress uniforms? Check. Vegas has arrived in the Gaslamp, replete with Intervention Sundays."
