| After many days of hotel hopping, critic Ima Payne arrives at a Las Vegas hotel that could possibly be described as out of this world. Ms. Payne strutted to the reception desk to find that she had to wait in the queue. As you can imagine, Ima Payne was less than impressed and boy did the receptionist hear all about it when she reached the desk! She said that she wished to dine at the hotel's restaurant and she wanted to feel on Top of the World. In which Vegas hotel is Ima Payne causing a scene? | Ima Payne and the Vegas Hotels
|
Stratosphere. Ima Payne writes in her column, "I have to admit that upon arrival I was very impressed with the splendour of the Stratosphere's exterior. This good impression was however short lived; even with the lavish interior decoration to distract me, the length of time one had to wait to see the receptionist is enough to make any perfectionist weep. I counted a full four minutes, do they think people have got nothing better to do than stand in the foyer all day? My displeasure was however somewhat abated upon dining at the Top of the World, a restaurant consistently ranked as one of the best in the USA. I would recommend the hotel to those who are looking for relaxation, but if you are in a rush I would give it a miss!"
| Ima Payne is always impatient with people who suggest that her job as a hotel critic is easy. As she was nearing the end of her ten days in Las Vegas she checked into a hotel simply because she wanted to put her feet up. Well that was what she wanted but it wasn't what she was going to get! The outside of this hotel may have looked like a luxurious fairy tale castle but when it came to opening her suite door, she found it to be as difficult as pulling the sword from the stone! In which hotel is Ima Payne struggling to open her door? | Ima Payne and the Vegas Hotels
|
Excalibur. Ms. Payne writes, "I arrived at Excalibur with the somewhat optimistic desire to be treated like a princess. However, it was less Princess Payne and more Payne the pauper! Apparently the best suite the hotel possessed was not given to members of the press, even to those in the elite such as myself. With my regal aspirations shattered I stared into my pocket mirror and hoped to be told I was the "fairest of them all" but that was just another disappointment. Perhaps I was taking this all too seriously and was told to unwind by attending Excalibur's 'Thunder From Down Under' show. Ahem, I went in with minimal expectations but left feeling, well, I shall leave it to your imagination..."
| As a journalist Ima Payne is interested in grammar and is a pedant regarding apostrophe usage. When she was being escorted, by limo, through Las Vegas, a particular hotel caught her attention and Ms. Payne asked her driver, Julius, to take her to this hotel. What is the name of the establishment which seems to be missing an apostrophe? | Ima Payne and the Vegas Hotels
|
Caesars Palace. Ima Payne smugly entered Caesars Palace and marched to reception to point out the missing apostrophe in the name of the hotel. Ms. Payne writes, "Upon unleashing a small part of my extensive knowledge I was given a quick rebuttal and was told that I wasn't the first pedant to point this out. The receptionist even had the audacity to tell me, a journalist, that it is not an error! I was spun a line that there is no apostrophe because there isn't just a single Caesar, but every visitor to the establishment is Caesar! Readers, if you'll believe that then you'll believe anything. Whilst at the hotel I attended the Cher concert 'Cher at the Colosseum' which, over the period 2008 to 2010, was consistently rated one of the top Vegas events."
| There is very little that pleases hotel critic Ima Payne, and the staff at a particular Las Vegas hotel was about to find that out for themselves when she walked through their doors. Immediately she complained that it was scorching and that she felt as though she was in a desert. In which Moroccan-themed hotel is Ima Payne? | Ima Payne and the Vegas Hotels
|
Sahara Hotel and Casino. Ima Payne writes in her column, "The north-African themed exterior of the Sahara Hotel and Casino was most exciting and it had me instantly enticed. I was developing the urge to play some blackjack but as I walked through the doors it was as though a heatwave had just hit me. I asked the receptionist if they had ever heard of air conditioning and they immediately sought to correct the problem. When I heard that an older version of 'Ocean's Eleven' was filmed at the Sahara Hotel and Casino I felt a lot cooler!"
| Hotel critic Ima Payne is very defensive when people call her job superficial, so in an attempt to improve her image she claimed to have an interest in Ancient Egypt. Her proof was that she had spent the night at a Vegas hotel that was shaped like a pyramid! In which hotel, famed for its striking upward beam of light, is Ima Payne? | Ima Payne and the Vegas Hotels
|
Luxor. Not only did Ima Payne stay at Luxor but she also downloaded 'Walk Like An Egyptian' by The Bangles! She wrote of her stay, "The model of the Great Sphinx was an incredible sight, so much so, I truly believed I was on the African continent. This mirage came to a halt however when the food my PA had ordered from the menu at the hotel's T&T restaurant arrived. If I had known that T&T stood for 'Tacos & Tequila' then I would have been more prepared for the chilli onslaught that ensued! I soon left to the relaxation of the spa."
| Ima Payne is a successful hotel critic and she decided to scrutinize the luxurious accommodation available in Las Vegas. She entered a particular Vegas hotel which had a Caribbean theme and was given her suite number by the receptionist. Ima Payne was most unhappy as she could not find her room. She proceeded to demand that management lead her to her suite and told Manager X. Marx Thurspot that she felt as though she was in a Robert Louis Stevenson novel! Where is Ima Payne? | Ima Payne and the Vegas Hotels
|
Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. Ima Payne commented, "When I arrived at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino I was amazed by the sleek appearance of the building. However, I came into difficulty when I tried to navigate my way through nearly 3000 rooms to get to my suite. It was as though I was given a map where 'X marks the spot' and the signs on the walls were cryptic clues. It was an absolute nightmare, only a talented pirate like Long John Silver could manage to complete the arduous journey. It was a pleasure to see the part of the hotel that was used in 'Miss Congeniality 2'!"
