Las Vegas is in the midst of its
Centennial. Las Vegas, called Clark's Las Vegas
Townsite at the time, was born on May 15, 1905 when
110 acres of land were auctioned by the railroad.
The area's boundaries were Stewart Avenue to the
north, Garces Avenue to the south, Main Street to
the west and Fifth Street (Las Vegas Boulevard)
to the east.
A plethora of activities and events have been planned
to commemorate the Centennial. Here are some of
the activities you can expect to see throughout
2005.

This summer, American Airlines will
open Phase 1 of a new, state-of-the-art, world-class
terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport,
designed to make domestic and international travel
easier and more convenient for the millions of passengers
who pass through the airport each year.
The new facility, covering nearly 1.5 million square
feet, will further strengthen JFK's position as
one of the nation's foremost U.S. airports and international
gateways.
The new terminal will make it as easy and convenient
as possible for American's customers to travel,
with a strong focus on helping customers move quickly
through the arrival and security process. When fully
operational - the second and final phase is scheduled
to be completed by April 2007 -- the new terminal
will have 101 ticketing positions, 10 security lanes
capable of processing nearly 1,925 passengers per
hour, a new baggage system that makes checking and
claiming bags more efficient, and a new Customs
and Border Patrol facility. For travelers looking
to catch up on business or have a relaxing spot
to rest, there will be two new Admirals Clubs, in
Concourse B and Concourse C.

Customer satisfaction in the hotel
industry is up, according to the J.D. Power and
Associates 2005 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction
Index StudySM released.
Consumers appear to appreciate the value of new
product and service offerings being introduced by
many hotel chains, as increases in overall guest
satisfaction are being driven by improvements in
the measures of food and beverage, costs and fees
(value of services) and hotel services.
"As the travel industry continues to rebound from
the post-9/11 travel slump, hotel chains have benefited
from the ability to invest significant funds to
renovate guest rooms, enhance room amenities and
improve food and beverage offerings," said Linda
Hirneise, partner in the global travel and hospitality
practice at J.D. Power and Associates. "The key
is in adding the kinds of value-added services guests
really want."
While many brands push the envelope to introduce
new amenities and innovations such as satellite
radio or Internet check-in, the study finds that
brands that improve on offerings in the tried-and-true
comforts of home that make for a convenient in-room
experience tend to receive considerable boosts in
customer satisfaction scores. Amenities of particular
interest to consumers include a complimentary breakfast,
in-room refrigerators and coffee makers, pillow
top mattresses and high-speed Internet access.
