Gerrard59: I'm sorry, your explanations aren't completely valid. The first makes sense. But basic economics stipulate that if demand is low and supply is high, as is the case with hotels in Nigeria, cost should be low. If the average rate is lowered, there will be a significant uptick in local demand. To be fair, the massive devaluation in the past few years shrunk the average $ rate of run-off-the-mill hotels in Nigeria. I recall, when the rate was N100-150/$, a decent room in a standard hotel cost about $100/night. Still, at current depressed rates, how many days can minimum wage get you in a budget hotel/guest house? And how does that compare to "bedsitter" rent? If the rate was lower, I can assure you that folks will stay in hotels more when they travel. Rather than put up with hosts, they'll prefer to spend a middling percentage of their wages for convenience, comfort, and privacy. The pool of customers will be far more diverse than h*rny folks. I put it to you that the size of their main clientele will increase as well. Take a look at the restaurant industry. There's a service tier for every price range in most locations, with the exception of the top 3 cities. And, more importantly, it stacks up quite fairly to doing the cooking yourself at the budget echelon. The heap of reasons in your second paragraph are not convincing. I agree that power is a major challenge. The others--taxes, provision of security, and serenity--are non-issues. Certainly not significant enough to warrant the high gulf in prices between what is obtainable in Nigeria and elsewhere. I've never stayed in a budget hotel room in Nigeria, but I know they're nothing to write home about and the going rate will take a chunk out of the minimum wage (which isn't enforced or applied nationally/liberally). I also know that hotel workers are poorly remunerated. The managers make out like bandits, but that's capitalism in a third-world country. I have no issue with the international chains and the luxe bracket. I mean, your dollar goes further in NA and Asia. However, I'm particularly irked by the budget to premium segments. -Lord |

Ess: I love the bar scene especially at the Chandelier bar (I think it has 4 levels and is completely draped in crystals) at the Cosmopolitan. I was there last in 2019, and had a drink called the “Verbena”. It comes with a flower that you chew first then it makes your tongue tingle as you sip your drink, INCREDIBLE! I visit that entire complex often during my visits and have stayed at the Aria, Bellagio and Vdara. These are all fabulous hotels, and as you know, Vegas has lots of great hotels! Have you found the secret door to the hidden pizza parlor at the Cosmopolitan? It’s a hidden entrance and they sell New York style pizza by the slice. So delish, reasonably priced and a great stop after a great night of partying and at the Marquee or one of their bars. I’ll be visiting Abuja this fall and can’t wait to document my entire trip! I’m so excited to vacation in Nigeria again! It’ll be my second time visiting (first visit was in Lagos), and I’m so looking forward to sharing with the world that Nigeria shouldn’t be overlooked as a travel destination! All of my social media platforms will be on fire with photos and videos, and as we like to affectionately say here in the states “prepare to be sick of me” because I’ll be posting heavily during this trip, lol! 4 Likes

Mstravelindiva: Cool! You've seen it all. Though you can never see it all in Vegas as they say... I never stayed in Cosmo but have heard soo much about it, will plan on staying ther next after my Wynn/Encore stay. I loved Aria's mattress...sooo comfy! Stayed at MGM, Strat and Bally's. Vegas is obviously my happy place, nothing beats it for me. I always find interesting places and things to do, eventhough I do not gamble. Do holla when you visit Abuja, stay safe! 1 Like |

Mstravelindiva: Are we related because the Wynn is a Vegas hotel that has never let me down. I tried discounted rooms at some of the fancier hotels and the was mostly pleased but no other hotel can beat the Wynn’s consistency. We know what to expect before even checking in. Mstravelindiva please continue posting your travels on YouTube because half of my office has started following you. 1 Like |

1stGenAmerican: Oh wow, that you so much friend! I appreciate the support. I’m working on a few videos for YouTube now, so stay tuned! Let me know if there is any special topic you’d like to see a video on. And I totally agree with you on the Wynn, it’s the only place I stay because they are so consistent with their quality and service. I’ve lodged at the 5* Palazzo, Aria, Bellagio, Vdara and even a few 4* such as MGM, Planet Hollywood and Treasure Island in the past (which we’re nice), but none compare to the Wynn/Encore. Wynn/Encore has been my only hotel for the past 8 years. Happy travels friend! 3 Likes |
