Hotels are cashing in on


Tuesday, April 1, 2008

dogplayingwii41.jpgHotels are cashing in on video games and their aging fans, The Westin chain, for instance, plans on offering customized Wii's (the game so easy even dogs can play) in about 150 hotels and resorts. Manhattan's Le Parker Meridian has a customized Nintendo Wii console used in its gym, while Hotel Gansevoort brings consoles to guests on request. Seattle's Hotel Monaco hosts Friday night Guitar Hero playoffs, which have become extremely popular. The Conrad Chicago will offer competitive "Wii Meeting Breaks" for a fee starting this May.
