When I watched this ad, I thought it was selling a fashion brand or maybe a luxury perfume. A new hotel in Vegas was not on my radar. Delano Las Vegas opened on Sept. 2, and its 60-second video, "Defiantly Inspired," left me uninspired and looking for a book on abstract art for dummies. There's a chic couple dressed in white. There's an eyeball, fire, a gold beating heart, and random snippets of furniture. The couple shed some clothing, look passionately into one another's eyes -- and then there's more furniture, a desert, fire, and people running in shadow.  What happened to the days when a hotel ad mentioned things like what restaurants and clubs are in-house, or what shows visitors can see?
