Driving from Las Vegas to The Grand Canyon »

On Friday 29 Feb 2008, we have breakfast in the Monterey room at the Gold Coast Hotel, which is great value for money, then check out and load up the car for our trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon.
It takes a while to set up the GPS system because the gadget has difficulty […]

Hotel Review: Gold Coast Hotel & Casino - Las Vegas »

After picking up the car from the Alamo car rental company near the airport we drove back to the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino which we had just checked into that morning.  We drove into the Self Parking area of the hotel which is free. Anyone bringing their car will find it easy to park. […]

More Decisions and Picking up the Rental Car from Alamo »

Yesterday we discussed what we were going to do as at this stage we still had nothing booked for the next two days. We eventually decided to remain in Las Vegas and found a great deal online through Expedia.com at the Gold Coast Hotel which is right across the road from the Rio Hotel. This meant […]

Affiliate Summit Las Vegas 2008 »

One of the major reasons for our trip to the US was to attend the Affiliate Summit convention in Las Vegas. For those who would like to know what the Affiliate Summit is all about can click here for more info.
The Summit is held twice a year and we attended the last one in Miami in […]

Rio Hotel Las Vegas - Hotel Review »

The main reason for our trip to Las Vegas was to attend The Affiliate Summit which was held at the Rio Hotel so it made good sense for us to stay there during this time.  As we found out when we came over to the States for the Affiliate Summit in Maimi in 2007,  it […]

Day 2 in Lovely Las Vegas »

After visiting the Affiliate Marketing expo this morning, where we caught up with James and Arlene Martell, who introduced us to Greg Sheppard who runs an Affiliate Network that we will be utilising for our websites in the near future, we decided to go and do the laundry.
We piled all our clothes into a suitcase […]

Gambling at Las Vegas Airport and Arriving at the Rio Hotel »

After disembarking from the plane at Las Vegas we find it rather amusing that the first thing we come across in the arrivals lounge is an area with slot machines (poker machines).  They want that tourist dollar from the moment you land.
After taking photos of the entertainment we set off to find our bags.  There is […]

Flying with Southwest Airlines - Review »

Up once again at 6am to go to Las Vegas. It is quite cool and raining, in fact it has been cool and raining since we got to LA.
The hotel have arranged a car for us because the shuttle buses don’t start running until 9am and we have an early start. The ride in the car […]

Dinner at Johnny Rockets Restaurant Hollywood »

We had dinner at the Johnny Rocket restaurant in Hollywood and Highlands. What a great place to eat. The decor is reminiscent of the 1940’s and 1950’s with it’s red leather seating and chrome accents on the tables.  Each booth has a tabletop jukebox that plays tunes for a nickel (5cents). There are also full […]

The Hollywood Celebrity Hotel - Los Angeles - Hotel Review »

After a rather long day having set out from our Hawaii hotel at 5am,  and finally arriving at The Celebrity Hotel at around 6pm we were just looking forward to having a shower and having a cup of tea.
Paula had already advised me not to expect too much from the hotel as it was only […]
