A few years ago, a friend of mine got married in Las Vegas. She didn’t tell us she was getting married we all thought she was just going on holiday. When she returned to work, she told us the happy news. I have to take my hat off to her as it must have been hard to arrange everything without letting anyone in on the secret. The wedding dress was shipped to her hotel all ready for the big day. You know what!!!!! I think it was a totally awesome idea. She looked absolutely beautiful, the setting was lovely and…

Review: Golden Nugget Casino & Hotel Fremont St Las Vegas
Thursday, September 10th, 2009 at
11:37 am
We hadn’t booked anywhere to stay for the last 4 days so once we decided to stay in Vegas it was just a matter of hopping online and making a booking through Expedia. I opted for the Golden Nugget in Fremont St, simply because I love this hotel. The rooms are reasonably sized, the rates are really reasonable plus the service and housekeeping is excellent. The last time I stayed at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino I was in a room with two double beds as I was traveling with Paula, my friend and business partner. This time I am traveling…
Out and About in Las Vegas – The Fremont St Experience

One of my favorite places in Las Vegas is Fremont St. This is a happening place where every night there is exciting live entertainment and the fantastic Fremont St Experience – which is an awesome light and sound show. Although it is now easy to get to Fremont St from the Strip, now that the Deuce buses run to downtown, I still like to stay in the downtown area and usually stay at the Golden Nugget. This summer Fremont St is running the ‘Sounds of ’69 Vegas or Bust’ with live bands playing the music of the era. Which suits…
Out and About in Las Vegas – Cruising the Strip – Las Vegas Boulevard South

Okay in most of the previous posts I have managed to get really long winded. So in this one I am just going to quickly add photos of some of the stuff you will see cruising the Strip. Here is the Harley Davidson Cafe, haven’t eaten there so can’t comment on the food but I do like the sight of the Harley bursting through the wall. I checked online and the place has mixed reviews for both the food and the service so I guess it is a matter of going in and checking the place out for yourself. Next…
Out and About in Las Vegas – Cruising The Strip – The Las Vegas Plaza Complex

Las Vegas Plaza in Progress So after spending lots of time in Bellagio, we headed off down the strip to check out what else is on offer. Next to Bellagio there is an extremely large construction under way. This had only just started when Paula and I were here last year. This is to be the new Las Vegas Plaza complex. I was chatting to some locals who told me that Legal action was taken by the Plaza Hotel and Casino, Downtown for the right to keep the name. Bit of Trivia follows: The Plaza has been in Downtown Las Vegas…
Loving Las Vegas – What’s not to Love – Belissimo Bellagio

Before my first trip to Las Vegas last year with Paula, I had it in my mind that I probably wouldn’t like Las Vegas, that it would be crass and over the top. The only reason I came then was to attend the Shareasale Affiliate Marketing convention at the Rio. Well I came and was instantly captivated. I fell in love with Vegas, so when the opportunity arose for me to return this year with my husband, I jumped at the chance. I couldn’t wait to see his reaction to this larger than life, fun city. We navigated around quite…
Review: Paris Hotel and Casino Las Vegas

Having stayed in Paris, France and visited the Eiffel tower previously, I thought it would be nice to stay in the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas as it is based on the French theme. Our Check in was smooth and hassle free, with the staff being very efficient and helpful. We are offered an upgrade which I decline saying I am sure all your rooms are great. We are given an upgrade anyway. Always remember this whether you are hiring a car or checking into a hotel, never take the offer of a paid upgrade. Hold out and…
Out and About in Las Vegas – The Deuce Bus – RTC – Max – Hop On Hop Off bus Las Vegas

We have been making a lot of use of the daily Deuce bus pass so that we can spend more time in the various casino’s, don’t get sore feet, and don’t get worn out by the end of the day. There are regular stops all down the Strip through to the Downtown area and we found the Deuce pass to be very economical. The costs are : Single trip – $3.00 24 hour pass – $7.00 3 day pass – $15 We didn’t find out about the three day pass until it was too late to be of any use…

The world famous Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino in Las Vegas, USA. It’s on the west side of Las Vegas Strip, between the Bellagio and the Mirage, in Paradise, a township in Nevada.

People flock there to gamble and see spectacular shows and world famous entertainers. How did it all start?…
