Update on the OYO Las Vegas and the fake AI generated hotel they created “Palette” to trick guests into booking, only to refuse them a refund and force them to stay somewhere that’s dirty, smells bad and unsafe. OYO ranked among the worst in Vegas with broken elevators, air conditioners and dirty rooms with stained walls & bedding. Thanks to your help all of the reputable travel sites have removed the listing and for now at least, this predatory scam has been paused. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #travel #hotel
