How Booking Names Palette and Collection O Led to OYO Las Vegas

On August 13, 2026, Vital Vegas reported that OYO Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas appeared on booking sites under the names Palette and Collection O. Both listings used OYO's physical address, although neither name represented a separate hotel operating in the city.

A traveler told 8 News Now that she passed on OYO, selected Palette, and arrived at the OYO building. Expedia suspended both listings while it investigated.

Three names connected to one Las Vegas property

A traveler searching for a room could encounter OYO Hotel and Casino, Palette, and Collection O as separate-looking options. Booking pages can show different names, photographs, prices, star ratings, cancellation rules, and room details. Someone comparing those details may assume each entry represents a different property.

The traveler who spoke with 8 News Now chose Palette after passing on OYO. Her reservation brought her to the same building and the same OYO front desk. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Palette and Collection O were not operating hotels in Las Vegas and that both listings used OYO's address.

The story first reached Vital Vegas through Jennifer Gay of Vegas Starfish. A New York Post report, citing Vital Vegas, said Palette was among the brands owned by Prism, OYO's parent company. It also reported that Collection O was offered through OYO's booking network.

Prism describes itself as a hospitality company operating across 35 countries. Its brands include OYO, CheckIn, Sunday, Palette, Townhouse, Belvilla, DanCenter, and Motel 6. Oravel Stays, OYO's parent company, changed its name to Prism in September 2025.

How booking platforms can change the appearance of a hotel

Online travel agencies present information supplied by hotels and their partners. That information may include the property name, room photographs, availability, cancellation conditions, prices, and extras. Booking.com describes a rate plan as a combination of a price, a cancellation policy, and additions such as breakfast.

Changing the label attached to a property can alter how it appears in search results. A traveler who filters or compares results by name may see what appears to be a new option. In the Las Vegas case, Palette and Collection O were attached to the OYO address, and both names ultimately brought guests to OYO.

The available reporting does not explain precisely how each listing was created or how long it appeared on each platform. It does establish that Expedia suspended both listings while it investigated. The legal status of the listings also remains unresolved.

The advertised room price was only part of the bill

OYO's Las Vegas FAQ lists a nightly resort fee of $44.95 plus tax. The stated benefits include $5 in free slot play and $10 in table-games match play. The property also requires guests to be at least 21 to check in and collects a refundable $100 deposit.

A dated result from an OYO booking page showed $7 payable immediately and $57 due at check-in, for a listed total of $64. That was a search snapshot. The final amount can change according to the date, room type, taxes, and booking channel, while the guest still needs a payment card and access to the deposit before receiving keys.

The city's hotels have used several methods to attract price-sensitive guests. In June 2025, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported offers involving free Strip parking, lower room rates, waived resort fees for locals, stay-and-play packages, loyalty benefits, and food discounts. Visit Las Vegas advertised packages from $89 with no resort fees and free parking, while Resorts World advertised selected packages with no resort fees and complimentary valet.

OYO's general FAQ continued to list its $44.95 nightly resort fee, subject to tax. A promotion or room price shown on a booking page does not necessarily include every charge that appears in the reservation terms.

Las Vegas hotel figures

The city recorded 38.5 million visitors in 2025, and average hotel occupancy for the year was 80.3 percent. The average daily room rate fell 5 percent to $183.52.

Travel Weekly reported that Las Vegas hotel occupancy fell to 66.7 percent in July 2025, with revenue per available room at $102.75, down 28.7 percent from the same period a year earlier. CoStar separately reported preliminary Strip occupancy through September down 7.8 percent. These numbers describe pressure in parts of the market, but they do not show why the alternate listings appeared or establish how OYO performed.

The building has changed names before

The property's history includes earlier physical rebrands. Local history reporting says the building operated as the San Remo from 1989 until 2006. It became Hooters Casino Hotel in 2006, then changed to OYO Hotel and Casino on September 16, 2019.

Contemporary reports from 2019 described the sale of Hooters and the planned OYO conversion, followed by a new exterior sign. Those changes involved the building itself. Palette and Collection O introduced a separate layer of naming through booking platforms, where the same address could appear under other identities.

What Nevada law covers

Nevada's deceptive-trade-practices statute covers knowingly false representations about the characteristics, uses, benefits, alterations, or quantities of goods and services. It also covers false or misleading factual statements about price. The Nevada Consumer Affairs Division investigates deceptive trade practices and deceptive or false advertising and provides a channel for complaints.

The reporting does not determine whether the Palette or Collection O listings violated Nevada law. That finding would come from investigators, regulators, or courts.

What travelers can check before booking

Travelers can compare a booking address with a map, inspect recent guest photographs, and read reviews that mention the property's physical name. A listing's presence on the hotel's own website can provide another point of comparison. Reviews referring to a different name may reveal that multiple booking entries lead to one front desk.

Travelers should check the reservation terms for resort fees, taxes, the age minimum, the deposit, parking, and cancellation rules. A promotion or room price shown on a booking page does not necessarily include every charge in the reservation terms.

The Palette report leaves the legal outcome unresolved, and the financial effect on OYO, Expedia, and Las Vegas tourism is unknown.

Rising Fuel Costs Empty the Las Vegas Strip – 2026 Crisis

Las Vegas built its entire economy on one assumption: cheap, easy, mass-market air travel. That assumption is cracking right now. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) issued a warning in early 2026 that jet fuel supplies are forecast to hit their lowest level since 1963. Not since the Cuban Missile Crisis has the aviation fuel pipeline been this tight. And Las Vegas – the only major American city with no diversified economic base – stands directly in the blast radius. Visitors stopped coming in 2025. Clark County hosted 38.3 million people from January through November – down 7% from 2024. January 2026 dropped another 2.2%. Those numbers are not a blip. They are the leading edge of a structural shift driven by oil markets, refinery closures, and a middle class drowning in credit card debt. The neon still glows. The Sphere still lights up the desert. But behind the spectacle, a quiet emptying is underway. This article follows the money from a barrel of crude in the M...

Retiring in Las Vegas Regrets: Why So Many Are Already Leaving

Las Vegas calls to retirees with promises of no state income tax, endless entertainment, and year-round sunshine. But behind the neon glow, a quiet exodus is underway. Thousands of older adults who packed up and moved to Sin City are now packing up again — this time to leave. The reasons range from skyrocketing utility bills to a healthcare system that struggles under summer surges. One retiree put it bluntly: "I traded one set of problems for a worse set." Here's the real story behind the mass departure from America's desert playground. Why Retirees Flocked to Las Vegas in the First Place For decades, Las Vegas sold itself as a retiree paradise. No state income tax meant Social Security checks and pension payouts stretched further. Housing prices sat well below California's coastal cities. The strip offered cheap buffets and shows that never got old. "I thought I had found heaven," recalled Janet, a 69-year-old former teacher from Oregon. "Sun...

Why Laughlin Is Winning Tourists Las Vegas Leaves Behind

Introduction: The Quiet Takeover of America’s Middle-Class Vacation Las Vegas shed 3.2 million visitors in a single year. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a recession. Those travelers moved 90 minutes south on Highway 95 to a town most people have never heard of: Laughlin, Nevada. Population 7,300. No Sphere, no celebrity residencies, no $700-a-night suites. What Laughlin offers is a $50 room, free parking, $5 beer, and a growing line of Las Vegas locals who drive down every Friday night because the Strip priced them out. This is not a story about a small town beating a giant. It is a story about a city that deliberately chose to get smaller, richer, and more exclusive — while a river town quietly kept the lights on for everyone else. Wall Street noticed. In November 2025, VICI Properties paid $1.16 billion to bet on Laughlin’s future. That bet changes the conversation from travel trends to capital allocation. Here are the seven shifts that explain exactly how this happen...
