Rumor Hotel Opens In Las Vegas

The last thing Las Vegas needs is another hotel room but that doesn't stop people from opening them. At least the latest hotel isn't another huge resort. Rumor is located in the site of the former St. Tropez Hotel across from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and is a two-story boutique hotel with a more intimate feel.

The Siegel Group collaborated with Las Vegas based interior design firm Tandem to create the 150-suite hotel that has a Las Vegas-meets-Palm Springs feel. If you like purple this is your place, the Rumor is full of dark wood and gray tones with deep purple and lavender accents. Rumor includes the restaurant Addiction which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and room service. The main restaurant spills out into the courtyard with indoor and outdoor seating. The courtyards leads out to the pool area and wet deck.

Half the suites overlook the courtyard area. Suites are modern with gray walls, purple accents and elevated, in-room, spa-style soaking tubs. Rumor is pet-friendly with an outdoor dog run, customized in-suite bowls and plush dog beds. Rumor is currently offering a web only deal, if you book one night you get a second night free. Rates vary but I've seen prices from $80-$200 a night on their website.

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal (subscription) mentioned in passing that Donald Trump is thinking about going into the furniture business. Word has it that he is in talks, and "near to a deal," with a major department store that will carry his name on a line of furnishings that includes everything from tables and chairs to office furniture. Trump's spokesperson would not name the store yet. Will it be Barneys, Saks or Sears?
