With the recent discussion about identifying advantage players & how it's
only going to get worse, it's probably time to think about alternatives to LV.
So many of the people I meet in LV are pretty one-dimensional thinking that
the best of everything is there. Well this might be the time to boycott the
casinos & see the rest of the world so you can do an up-close-and-personal
comparison.
I'll get it started in a couple of categories & maybe people can chip in with
lists you think are helpful:
TOP 100 HOTELS IN THE WORLD (Travel & Leisure magazine)

#1 is the Peninsula in Bangkok.
#4 is the top US hotel, the Halekulani in Honolulu.
#22 is the Inn at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach, CA.
#30 is the Four Seasons, LV.
Bellagio doesn't appear until #59 & Venetian is #96. I guess size does not
matter. BTW, 14 Four Seasons hotels around the world made up the top 30 so you
can infer who has the best chain.
TOP 10 GOLF COURSES IN THE US (Golf Magazine)

#1 is Pebble Beach, Pebble Beach, CA
#6 is Spyglass, Pebble Beach, CA
#7 is Shadow Creek in Las Vegas
If you know where to find a listing of the best restaurants and spas, please
post so that our friends in LV will know that what they have are copies of the
best which exist elsewhere.
