Hotel San Remo to be Rebranded Hooters Casino Hotel

Hotel San Remo Las Vegas

Oh suuuuuuuuure, do it after I visit. :P When I was at the Hotel San Remo in May ‘04, the pool sucked (so bad I didn’t even go down there). They didn’t even have an electronic roulette scorer. That’s too old school. Though I suppose if all the dealers and the waitresses are Hooter girls, I think the casino will get a lot more action. I only stayed there because my, oh, first 8 options were booked solid for some convention. They have a good location though, just a block or two from MGM, Tropicana, Excalibur, etc…

LAS VEGAS - The Hotel San Remo has signed a management deal with the Hooters restaurant chain to rebrand the Las Vegas hotel-casino into a Hooters Casino Hotel.

The pool area will be about three times its current size, with a Hooters Beach Club and tropical theme. The hotel rooms will be remodeled with a “Florida casual? look and the casino also will be updated. The outside of the property will feature the Hooters owl logo and at night will be lit with the chain’s trademark orange tint.

Wired News: Just ‘internet’ Now

Dunno, seems weird to me. I think I’ll leave it as Internet. Ya know why? Cuz the ‘Net is more important than those other mediums, like radio or television, heck, TV is still capitalized, ain’t it? No reason for that to be capitalized at all… The capital I gives Internet more of a presence in any sentence, it attracts your eyes to it and makes it more of a force. And darn it, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. We’re just too used to it by now, and that’s as good reason as any to leave it capitalized!

Effective with this sentence, Wired News will no longer capitalize the “I” in internet. At the same time, Web becomes web and Net becomes net.

Why? The simple answer is because there is no earthly reason to capitalize any of these words. Actually, there never was.
