STRATOSPHERE HOTEL LAS VEGAS NV - western cities hotels

Serious mischaracterizations STRATOSPHERE and hilton hotel las vegas nv have been made about las and vegas us and the issue of who will have access to what fares. some of those mischaracterizations nv have been based on simple ignorance, but others have clearly been part of a concerted stratosphere effort by us competitors to use misinformation to prevent us from hotel offering new competition to them and new choice to consumers. there is no agreement by which las any airline would be precluded from making any fare it chose available through any retail channel it chose. airlines for 2 decades have been like any other business in america, in that they can decide what they want to charge and where they vegas want to sell their product. and that remains true under the our agreements. nv and stratosphere each and every airline, no matter what kind of participation it has, will be free to decide individually what fares it offers and whether or not to offer them through any other hotel outlet.

then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third party distributors" because it has "requirements for posting las fare sales vegas that cannot be sold" by others is nv not true? it is absolutely not true, and those who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis for making it. our agreements contain no boycott against any distributors whatsoever, and in fact affirmatively stratosphere and hotel and las provide that no airline is precluded from utilizing any other distribution vegas channel or offering any fare through any channel. the department of justice is presently reviewing all agreements, so there will be no question nv on this point. do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail channels?
