For those of you who do NOT think the photo above is a highly realistic representation of the 9th circle of Hell, you might want to check out a new mobile app and website, created just for “day-drinking and pool-partying fiends” to find the hottest pool parties in Vegas. PartyPetition helps …
They filmed “Couples Retreat” with Vince Vaughn at the St. Regis, Bora, Bora (released in 2009). And yes, in case you are wondering, they do show the film on a continuous loop in all the rooms and bungalows, 24/7, 365. So, even if you haven’t seen it before you arrive, you will certainly …

And we wish this Avalon Hotel, Gothenburg, Sweden would get more props for it’s “death defying” clear-bottom, edge of the building pool. If we see the Joule in Texas …
