With today's stock market on a downer, odds are getting out of Los Angeles and forgetting about it, might sound pretty good about now.  Especially since all you have to do is head over to LAX or Bob Hope Airport  and hop a quick flight to Vegas--we're talking less than an hour away. Or you could always drive, but it could take more than 5 hours depending on traffic and Southwest Airlines (http://www.southwestair.com) always has some special LA to Vegas fares going.

If you need a reason to go to Vegas this month, Siegel Group’s boutique hotels has four good ones.  A group of modern, super stylish places to say with what they call, "the culturally creative in mind"-- not really sure what that means-- the chain operates hip hotels like Rumor; Artisan; Gold Spike Hotel & Casino; and The Resort on Mount Charleston.
