I was recently in Las Vegas and was reminded that it’s truly a brand name lover’s paradise. Up and down the Strip, there are brand “celebrities” everywhere, from globally-recognized fashion giants and iconic, high emotion brands like Hermes, Harry Winston, and Carnegie Deli to the hippest new hotels, restaurants, and boutiques.
Ahh, Las Vegas (which means The Meadows, btw) an endless buffet of names for the name lover! The Wynn (which I read was originally called La Reve--the dream in French), Palazzo, Aureole, Mesa Grill, Mon Ami Gabi (which is just fun to say)...So many I'll have to save for another post.
This trip, when I told the cab driver to take me to the Mirage, he quipped: The one that you can’t see, right? As I wondered how many times he’s said that one, but it got me thinking about naming hotels and resorts.
As a result, I came across this article (from a few years back) in USA Today about Element Hotels--enjoy!: Could you name a new hotel chain? http://www.usatoday.com/travel/hotels/2006-09-21-hotel-chain-names_x.htm
