HOLY HOT! It's 110º here during the day, but fortunately, it cools down in the evening, all the way to 103º... It's not bad though, it's dry, and most places are air conditioned, and you're really not outside that much unless you want to be. Our room at the Trump International Hotel and Tower is really nice. As I understand it, it was originally built as a condo tower, but b/c of the tanking economy, they deemed it more profitable to make it a hotel. There's a kitchenette (Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances), and really nice appointments. Not bad for $89/night. Our suite  Bathroom (that's a television in the mirror) I'll post pictures of the city and stuff a bit later. We had dinner at Alizé at the Palms Hotel. Really nice view, really nice food/service.  The restaurant is on the 56th floor of the Palms Tower
