When at Caesars, Ride a Chariot!
Posted on March 1, 2011 by Kristin Toft in Featured, Humor, Las Vegas, Travel Tips, United States
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When at Caesars Palace (the one in Las Vegas that is) ride a chariot!If you’ve visited Caesars Palace in Vegas, you can appreciate that in the time it takes to walk from the Forum Shops to the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis, you could easily traverse the entire city of Rome, from the Roman Forum to the Vatican. It’s a sprawling property with winding corridors that entice you to get lost among the myriad of slot machines, gaming tables, restaurants and bars. As such, it should come as no surprise that the thoughtful staff at Caesar’s rent scooters for your convenience. Or as we prefer to say in Rome, your chariot awaits!

What Happens in Vegas with “The Mentalist”
Posted on February 28, 2011 by Kristin Toft in Featured, Las Vegas, United States
People always say “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” but what they haven’t told you is that “What happened in your past might be revealed in Vegas.”No one had forewarned me about this…and while I don’t have too many skeletons in my closet, I still found myself getting a little nervous as I sat in the V Theater watching The Mentalist, Gerry McCambridge, reveal the secrets of randomly selected audience members while apparently reading their minds.

Las Vegas Limo’s and Transportation

Las Vegas April 28 2010 180″ width=”225″ height=”300″ class=”alignleft size-medium wp-image-187″ />Las Vegas transportation suggestions: taxi? yes! limo? hell yes! avis car rental- dear god no!First things first, 3 weeks ago, I was in Las Vegas and was shocked when Avis ran a credit check to rent a car to me. A hard credit inquiry; the kind that dings your credit, and they don’t even ask first! Since I’ve gotten in the habit of buying houses these days, I’ve been guarding my credit like a hound, wanting to get those fab interest rates. Who wants to potentially lose 10′s of thousands of dollars paid to interest to rent from Avis car rental? Not I! Plenty of car rental companies in Las Vegas that don’t resort to this shady stuff.

The Venetian, Las Vegas
Posted on May 7, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Featured, Las Vegas
The Grand Venetian and Palazzo Hotel- possibly the most impressive hotel I’ve seen in Las Vegas. That’s saying a lot, when you consider the impressive structures lining the Las Vegas Strip.
My overall impression and recommendations: Shop here, enjoy the charming gondola rides, marvel at the talented opera singers amidst the Canal Shop Square… then stay elsewhere. I checked out of the hotel nearly a week ago and I’m still spending a few hours a day trying to get out of $5400+ in duplicate charges for my $1600 hotel bill. No, I’m not joking. My billing was not only screwed up multiple times, but Rudy in their billing department has little concern for the matter. Honestly, I’m not bitter. It’s been so ridiculous, I’ve resorted to actually laughing about it! In the meantime, I’m thankful for Chase Bank, and their amazing ability to match the numbers on hotel statements with bank charges, which the Venetian can’t seem to do.

It's all about giving…
Posted on May 6, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Featured, San Francisco
Happiest Buddha Ever!
A man came to my door this morning, riding a bicycle with a bucket hanging off the handlebar. He very kindly, asked if he could wash my Grand Jeep Cherokee. When I hesitated to assess how dirty it was, he quickly added, “Please, I need to eat.” It brought tears to my eyes. I agreed, immediately, giving him everything I had in my wallet when he was finished.

Las Vegas Trip

Las Vegas Trip” width=”225″ height=”300″ />Las Vegas Trip: Under the WeatherJust 3 weeks ago, I was in Las Vegas and I’m already back. No, I’m not lost. I’d picked up Jerry Seinfeld tickets while waiting to see Cher at Caesar’s Palace, knowing it would be the perfect excuse to pick up where I’d left off exploring Las Vegas.

Spoiled in Las Vegas!
Posted on April 17, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Las VegasVegas was fab- in fact, it was more than fab. I booked a first class ticket that stopped through Denver, and aside from a loooong wait for luggage recheck after customs, the flight was smooth and carefree. Surprisingly, it wasn’t much more to book a 1st class ticket, than it would have been to book coach and pay luggage fees. What’s up with that? I heard from a fellow passenger that congress is considering passing laws minimizing this… hurry up Cap Hill! Spirit Airlines has already implemented a $45 carry on fee!
Anyway, back to Vegas…
