I cannot speak directly for China and Japan, but the reason 4 is considered an inauspicious number in Korea is because the Korean word for 4 - sa/사 (which derives from the [[hanja]])- is a homonym for 'death'.

The Las Vegas Hilton is one of the only hotels in the Western Hemisphere with a 13th floor.
Calling it an exception "in the western hemisphere" might be too much. I live in the western hemisphere and there is no fear of 13th floors here, and I doubt local hotels skip 13th floors - this breaks the supposed rule and makes Las Vegas Hilton pointless as an exception.
Perhaps it should say North America, or even US + Canada (I don't know if Mexico has this tradition too).
