and here I thought it was tied into something simple as the color "Red" being represented in 80% of restaurants/fast foods chains, just as "Beige" or off white is associated with nearly the same percentage at hotels/motels...

And the statement about the themes in Las Vegas...Well they are not going to be around much longer. ALL of the big casino/hotels are rethinking, replanning, rebranding, and leading to eventual remodeling, and losing All theme. ALL of the new resorts that have been built in the last 4 years are plain jane/brass & glass painted in white, with marble floors. There is no more "theming" in Vegas, on the Corporate level, unless that theme is representative of Wealthy or Rich. The same can be said of the newly built homes that all carry the McMediterranean "In" look. The world is homogenizing, as the loss of creativity and risk, flourishes.

Back to the beigeness of most hotels...Beige is an uninteresting color, and non-exciteable to the brain. People goto hotels to sleep. If some hotels have 'pop' or "vibrance" to them, I would think that some people would want to celebrate, possibly keeping other travelers awake, causing the Hotel to lose business in the long run. Thats just my opinion.
