🌟 Las Vegas: Evolution from Everyman Appeal to High-End Haven 🌟 Las Vegas is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting its focus from broad-based appeal to high-end luxury, as detailed in a recent article from The Times. The Mirage, a pioneering property on the Strip, set the stage for this evolution. Josh Swissman, MBA, Founding Partner & Managing Director of GMA Consulting, perfectly encapsulates this transition: “It’s the end of an era but the beginning of a new one. The Mirage was a transformative property, the first truly integrated resort on the Las Vegas Strip that laid the foundation for all of the development that came after it.” As visitor preferences and requirements evolve, so too must the offerings on the Strip. This dynamic shift ensures Las Vegas remains a premier destination, continually relevant and enticing to travelers worldwide. However, the high costs of building new hotels necessitate a focus on the higher end of the market, further driving this luxurious transformation.

Imagine you are the manager of a luxury hotel. You receive an attractive offer to install automatic doors at the front entrance. So, why keep the doorman? You can save some money by firing him. Seems rational, right? Things don't go well for the hotel after firing the doorman. Demand falls, and good reviews are down. What went wrong? Months later, someone tells you that doormen not only open doors. They greet guests upon arrival, help them with luggage, close their taxi's door, and point them to places. A good doorman gives the human touch and is the first impression of the hotel for a client: "Welcome back to the Carlton Ritz, Mister Diaz! It's great to see you again." Why do we often implement seemingly reasonable strategies without thinking much about their intangible costs and unintended consequences?  Check out the Doorman Fallacy. #behavioraleconomics #biases #behavioralscience #comportamiento #criticalthinking #pensamientocritico #decisions #decisiones

Think of your dream beach escape. Sun-kissed sand, a cocktail with a tiny umbrella, etc. Can you feel it? Now, imagine trying to describe that paradise to someone who's never seen the ocean. Words fall short. Yet, when you say, "It's like stepping into a giant bathtub," suddenly, they get it. That's the power of analogy. #hoteliers We mostly use cliches like “unforgettable moments” and “luxurious accommodations.” But the guests want relatable, vivid images in their minds, not corporate lingo. This is where analogies come to life. Analogies paint vivid pictures, triggering feelings and desires your target audience already understands, i.e Your family suite? “Picture your family suite as a novel where each room is a chapter that tells a story”. Rooftop Bar? “Just like the World Cup Finals, our Rooftop Bar is the pinnacle of entertainment, with a breathtaking view serving as the stadium.” When you make your hotel relatable, people are more likely to remember and share your messages. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and surprise your readers. The wilder the analogy, the more memorable it might be.

Did you know that the world's smallest hotel is located in Amberg, Germany? 🏨 Known as the Eh'häusl Hotel, this tiny property measures just 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) wide and 6.2 meters (20.3 feet) deep. Despite its diminutive size, the hotel boasts a rich history dating back to the 19th century when it was built as a result of a local law stipulating that citizens who wanted to get married must own property. To circumvent this requirement, couples would quickly construct small buildings known as "Eh'häusl," or "wedding homes," where they could reside temporarily to fulfill the legal obligation of property ownership. Today, the Eh'häusl Hotel stands as a unique testament to love, ingenuity, and the creative solutions that arise from unusual real estate regulations. #TinyHotel #Amberg #CreativeSolutions 🏠 #mrei #mayfairrealestateinstitute
