Dogs, Cats to Lap Up Luxury at Pet Hotel (2003/03/14)
赌城新开宠物酒店 猫狗尽享无限奢华 (2003/03/14)

A Las Vegas entrepreneur pushing the definition of luxury is opening a dog and cat hotel where precious pets can rest on Oriental rugs, watch television, and socialize with their own set while their masters frolic on the Las Vegas Strip.

Featuring suites for dogs, three-floor "condominiums" for cats and a staff that is ready to clean up after guests do their business on the indoor lawn, the America Dog and Cat Hotel opens officially on Wednesday with everything it thinks a pet could want -- and more.

"We hear time and time again, 'Gee this is so nice, I'd like to stay here,'" hotelier Christopher Easley told Reuters in an interview, acknowledging that people tended to want for their pets what they wanted for themselves.

"The dogs don't know it is a Persian rug, but they know it is soft," he said.

Easley, who spent some 0,000 converting a gym into the resort, is ready to bet his concept of luxury pet chic will catch on outside of Sin City, dreaming of expanding the concept nationwide, and then taking the company public.

一位崇尚奢华的拉斯维加斯企业家开了一家别出心裁的猫狗酒店。当主人们漫步在拉斯维加斯大道上的时候,他们高贵的宠物则可以舒适地躺在产自东方的地毯上休憩,看电视,按照它们自己的方式进行交际。

这家美国猫狗大酒店于3月5日正式开业,里面拥有专为狗狗设计的家具,为猫咪设计的三层"公寓",以及可以让宠物们放心大胆地撒欢,有专人随伺打扫的室内草坪。总之,人们能够想到宠物们会需要的一切设施,酒店都有,甚至宠物们不需要的,酒店也配备了。

酒店经营者克里斯托弗·伊斯利在接受路透社采访时说:"我们不止一次地听到人们说,'这里真不错,我喜欢这儿。'"他还谈到,人们总是想让宠物也能享受到自己喜欢的一切。

他说:"狗狗并不懂什么波斯地毯,但他们知道躺在上面很柔软很舒服。"

伊斯利投资了20万美金把一座体育馆改建成了这个酒店,并雄心勃勃要把他独特的高雅奢华宠物理念推出拉斯维加斯,推向全世界,并使公司上市。
