Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal regarding the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and how they are marketing some of their hotel rooms as "healthy". Here is the link:

So, basically, the hotel will have a set of rooms that are set up in order to promote health. They will be more expensive...to the tune of around $30...but they will do things such as have lights that are toward the red side of the spectrum, which promotes better sleep; antimicrobrial coatings on surfaces, as well as UV wands during the cleaning process; better filtration (air & water) systems; EMI shielding; and healthy room service and room snack options.
To me, it seems funny that it wouldn't be hotel wide; but instead, marketing it for just a small segment of rooms. It seems like all of these practices would be beneficial for everyone who visited. I'd be curious to know the reasonings. It always comes down to the almighty dollar....but if there were other reasons, that would be interesting to know!
