Do you love your Wii? Are you Guitar Hero to be reckoned with? Make sure that you check out the video game systems and titles available to you next time you stay in a hotel. Marriott and Nintendo announced a partnership to put Wiis into select Marriott hotels. The modified Wii systems have a selection of games that can be selected via the Wii's menu. The system is being tested at 6 hotels: New York Marriott Marquis, Renaissance New York Times Square, Boston Marriott Cambridge, Bethesda MD. Marriott Suites, Annapolis Marriott Waterfront and the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort.

Did you hear about Luxor Las Vegas' Wii program? They began testing it maybe 2 weeks before Marriott's announcement. I'm very interested to see if this all works out for them.
