    Earlier this year, we heard that Trump's New York Hotel & Tower would be showing its guests with all sorts of IPTV goodies; now, we've learned that The Donald's Las Vegas counterpart will be fetching services from Cox Communications. The two have worked together in order to deploy a triple-play solution, giving the hotel voice, video and data services from the same provider. To the patron, this means that a host of HD channels / VOD material will be available on the 42-inch / 32-inch LG LCD HDTVs (located in the bedroom and living room) and the 19-inch LG flat-panel in the bathroom. In case you're hoping to get connected, each room will also have Ethernet jacks as well as 802.11a/b/g WiFi access. As for paying your tab for the week? Let's just say we hope the slots treat you right.

    It's certainly not like The Donald to get left in the dust by competitors, and with all these high-class hotels making the move to IPTV, it follows logic that Mr. Trump would follow suit. Announced today, Trump International Hotel and Condominium is expanding its agreement with Microwave Satellite Technologies, which will enable the latter to install an IP-based video-on-demand solution into Trump's New York-based hotel and tower. The infrastructure will also support blazing fast internet connections, and the programming will reportedly be doled out to all 176 guest rooms "free of charge," but VOD purchased and interactive services will be charged on a per-use basis. 'Tis a shame the photo above is as close as we'll come to checking this out.
