Boulder Station

2009-02-07T02:47:00.000-08:00

Boulder Station Casino is not in the heart of Vegas, no matter what the public relations department has to say. One of the many far-flung Station casinos (also including the more popular Sunset Station and the better located Santa Fe Station) in town, Boulder Station has become well known as the foremost stomping grounds for locals. Much in the same working class vein of Sam’s Town, Boulder Station is also known for its no-frills attitude and décor, its cheap buffets and undervalued rooms. Of course, when you venture this far from the strip or downtown, the low prices are the biggest selling point. Though Boulder Station is comfortable enough, likable enough – it’s a bit bland, even by Vegas standards.Of the many off strip Las Vegas casinos, Boulder Station has historically had one of the hardest times enticing guests, which is why it has made its name as the foremost local hangout. You won’t find the same people you would at the Monte Carlo or Caesar’s Palace or even the Gold Coast. Retirees and working class joes congregate here nightly, along with a small cadre of out-of-towners looking for an inexpensive place to lay their heads.The rooms are clean, medium sized and not without their charm – but anyone looking for a glitzy whirlwind of a Vegas vacation will be sorely disappointed at the Boulder Station Casino. In fact, there is very little within the hotel that even signifies that you are in the gambling capital of the world – if not for the constant jangling of slot machines and hustling waitresses, you could be at pretty much any casino in the country.But being rough around the edges is a trademark of many off strip Las Vegas casinos – and it’s not like you’re that far removed from the action. Only four blocks east of the Stratosphere on the north end of the strip, you can use your feet and be near the action within minutes. Just because it is mainly a casino for locals doesn’t mean that the Boulder Station Casino should be overlooked as a decent value for exploring the sights of Las Vegas. Even if its interior has nothing more than the utilitarian to offer, if you consider the majority of the off strip Las Vegas casinos, the allure of the Boulder Station grows, as it is one of the closest to the main section of the city. Plus, it doesn’t put on the airs that many of its neighbors do – it doesn’t try to be the flashiest, or the most exciting, or the most family-friendly, or whatever niche markets other hotels try to target. The Boulder Station Casino is the Vegas equivalent of “what you see is what you get,” and for many it’s a refreshing change. And if you ever get restless and want to return to the city you see in the movies or on the postcards, the Las Vegas strip is just seconds away.

Hotel Danieli — Venice, VE, Italy

2009-02-07T02:44:00.000-08:00

Overlooking Riva degli Shiavoni, just steps from Piazza San Marco, St. Mark's Basilica, and legendary sites such as the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs, the masterfully restored Hotel Danieli is synonymous with the splendor and romance of Venice. The hotel is made up of three interconnecting palaces, each unique in style, whose glorious interiors blend together to create an evocative ambiance which offers guests the best in modern comfort and refined luxury. The main building, the Dandolo Palace, is a Venetian gothic landmark lavishly appointed with pink marble, stained glass, gold leaf decorated ceilings, Murano glass chandeliers, and antiques. This magnificent palace was commissioned in the 14th century by the noble Venetian family Dandolo, four of whose members represented the city as Doge. Of these four, the most famous and glorious was Enrico, who conquered Constantinople. Enrico Dandolo's portrait and many memories of his heroic life still adorn the Dandolo Palace. The adjacent "Casa Nuova" building is a 19th century palace whose decor reflects a rich, Venetian Baroque style. The impressive building to the right of the central Dandolo Palace is the "Danielino". Dating back to 1948 the Danielino's decor conveys an aura of old world charme; pastel shades of pale pink, soft blue and yellow, Empire style furnishings, and framed stuccoes embrace guests during their Venetian sojourn. Named to Conde Nast Traveler's 2005 Gold List Reserve and 2001 Readers' Choice Awards List, for generations the Hotel Danieli has been the luxury hotel preferred by discerning visitors to Venice.Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Hotel DanieliJim Bagley, Trophy Club, TX, USA. July, 2008"The location was wonderful. The lobby and the hotel facilities were grand in appearance. My room and the decor was slightly worn and tired looking. It didn't look like to the rest of the hotel and didn't live up to the standards of the lobby. The view was nice. The service, concierge, and front desk were helpful, attentive and courteous."

2009-02-07T02:41:00.001-08:00

The honor, or should we say honour, of the most expensive hotel room in London technically belongs to the three-bedroom Royal Suite of the Lanesborough Hotel, which is 4,500 pounds, or $6,407, a night. However, the suite is being renovated and will not be open until April 2002. So the winner by default is the penthouse suite of Claridge's (there are actually two), and both come with a personal butler.The Davies Penthouse is a two-bedroom suite decorated in a traditional style, complete with fireplaces, marble fixtures and hardwood floors. The sitting room has a barrel-vaulted ceiling and is decorated in shades of yellow. The Davies Penthouse also has a terrace, and both bedrooms feature four-poster beds and separate dressing rooms.The Brook Penthouse is designed in an Art Deco style, with shades of mauve, pale oak floors and original 1930s fixtures. The sitting room has floor-to-ceiling French doors that open to a roof terrace, and the suite also has a dining room with its own cocktail bar and cloakroom. Both penthouses are £3,850 (approximately $5,482).Claridge´sBrook StreetLondon, England

The Çirağan Palace Hotel Kempinski in Istanbul, located along the Bosporus, was originally the home of the last Ottoman sultans, and different incarnations of the property have been built (and torn down) since the 16th century. The building was bought by the Kempinski hotel group in 1986 and underwent a renovation in 1991. Today, the hotel comprises two structures (the actual palace and the new hotel), and the Sultan's Suite is the most expensive room there.The entire hotel is decorated in an opulent Arabic style, with marble, gold and mother-of- pearl accents, together with silk and velvet drapes, gilt chairs and crystal chandeliers. The Sultan's Palace Suite, located in the palace building, is 5,000 square feet. The two-bedroom suite comes with its own butler, and the floor-to-ceiling windows have a direct view of the Bosphorus. The master bedroom is decorated in deep red and gold, with silk-covered walls, a large sitting area and a crystal chandelier. The living room is done in shades of yellow and cream, with mosaic tile accents.Çirağan Palace Hotel KempinskiÇirağan CaddesiIstanbul, Turkey
