You wouldn’t know it by looking at me, but I absolutely love Las Vegas. It’s like Disneyland, but for adults. Exquisite hotels, luxurious spas, buzzing casinos, and delicious restaurants are among the reasons why Las Vegas is the ultimate getaway. Whether you’re looking to embrace your inner 20-something at one of the amazing clubs or pamper yourself silly with massages and spa treatments, Vegas has you covered.

You don’t need to be a gambler, either, to enjoy the wonders of Vegas! I’m what you’d call a cheap gambler. Nothing more than quarter video poker and $1 BlackJack for me. People-watching is also fun, especially at the more hip casinos like the Palms.

And then there’s the food. I’ve had some of the best meals in Vegas. In particular, the Palm’s seafood buffet is absolutely amazing. See, I love King crab legs. But I’m not fond of shelling them myself…too much work! That’s why I like the Bellagio, since they crack the crab legs for you. Sure, they have other delicious stuff there, too, but it’s just to fool you into eating less protein. Then, once your food coma sinks in, get hypnotized by the dancing water fountain while watching passersby.

I’m severely overdue for a Vegas Vacation, and this deal is almost too good to pass up! I haven’t been there since 2008, and that’s WAY too long for me. At first, I couldn’t believe it, since the Palms is one of the most famous hotels in Vegas. And for $55 a night, that’s beyond incredible. Plus, unlike some $55 hotels, the Palms is a 4-star hotel… even top-notch Hollywood celebs come to chillax at the Palms. In fact, I’m pretty sure it was featured on one of those MTV shows. As a lifelong cheapskate, typically $55 gets me into a Motel 6, so I’m beyond thrilled I can vacation like a king at the Palms. Take it from me, fellow readers, this is a deal worth splurging on!

The days are getting shorter, the leaves are piling up outside and the San Francisco 49ers still have a good record… Halloween must be quickly approaching! October officially marks the end of summer, even if it is still 85 degrees without a cloud in sight!

Despite my best attempts to pretend it is still summer, retail stores are showcasing their fall and Halloween displays like crazy. The orange-and-black colors is are a little irritating now; they serve as a subtle reminder that the 2010 World Series Champions didn’t make the post season this year.

Now Let’s Talk Cruises

Planning your own vacation is a tedious and tiring endeavor that takes weeks – or months – of planning. Booking hotel rooms, making travel accommodations, finding eateries, and planning your daily itinerary is a lot of work. And don’t forget your budget. Planning a vacation on a budget is part science, part common sense. Pretty much everything you want to do will cost mullah one way or another. If it’s sounding less like a vacation and more like a lengthy equation, you’re not alone. Fortunately, cruises are a great way to stick to a budget, have some fun, and leave most of the planning up to someone else. Continue Reading »
