John in some Tasmanian hotel tonight? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elton

'john' is the definition.
(musician Elton John)

'some tasmanian hotel tonight?' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ELTON' can be found hidden inside 'tasmanian hotel tonight'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for elton that I've seen before include "Let on he's John, the singer" , "First name of singer/songwriter born Reginald Dwight in 1947" , ". . . . . John (musician)" , "- John, British singer" , "..... Jonn (musician)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
