    Travel Tuesday: Paris Las Vegas Hotel Room Review

    So far this year, I’ve done far more traveling than I anticipated. Because of that, I nearly forgot about one of the entries for my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. This past January, before going to real Paris, my wife and I spent five nights at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Sin City. Thus, I’m…

    Travel Tuesday: Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace Hotel Review (Walt Disney World)

    A couple of weeks ago, I shared a look at my Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser adventure. But, before that unique (and pricey) experience, my wife and I spent three nights in more conventional accommodations, booking a stay at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace. Located in the Disney Springs Area of Walt Disney World, the…

    Well, it finally happened. Months after my friends and I booked our stay aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World, our adventure took place last week. Having returned to Earth, I have a lot of thoughts on this pricey and unique experience — but I thought I’d start by sharing a review…

    Travel Tuesday: Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel Hotel Review

    For years, my wife and I have been big fans of Marvel and specifically the Marvel Cinematic Universe. More recently, we’ve also come to love Disneyland Paris, with the resort ranking among our favorite Disney Parks in the world (we even have annual passes for this resort instead of the domestic ones). That’s why we’ve…

    Travel Tuesday: Mirage Resort King Room Hotel Review

    Earlier this month, I had the chance to check out the 2022 CES convention… so you know what that means: it’s time for another installment of my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Today’s entry is actually a tad different as the situation is rather unique. See, rather than checking out a hotel because they have something…

    Travel Tuesday: Luxor Tower Elite King and NoMad Classic King Hotel Room Reviews

    After a short break, I’m back with more of my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Technically, this is actually a new season of the Bonanza as it comes from my latest trip to Sin City in October 2021. And while I typically like to give in-depth looks at hotel properties and the room products I stay…

  • Travel Tuesday: Disney’s Bay Lake Tower Grand Villa Hotel Review

    Travel Tuesday: Disney’s Bay Lake Tower Grand Villa Hotel Review

    Fun fact: when you walk into certain Walt Disney World hotels, the Cast Members will greet you by saying, “Welcome home.” After nearly two years away, I felt that welcome when my wife and I had the chance to stay at WDW this past weekend. Making the event even more special, our friend managed to…

    Travel Tuesday: The Signature at MGM Grand Hotel Review

    Over the past few months, I’ve been recalling my experiences at various hotels as part of my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Today, that series comes to a close (for now) as I look at the last location we stayed at during our most recent trip: The Signature at MGM Grand. This is a property I’ve…

    Travel Tuesday: NoMad (Park MGM) Hotel Review

    Welcome back to yet another Travel Tuesday as I continue my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™ after a brief sneaker-centric detour. Today, we’ll be venturing over to NoMad — a boutique hotel inside of Park MGM (which was previously Monte Carlo). Specifically, NoMad’s rooms occupy the top four floors of the tower, but NoMad guests also…

    Welcome back to yet another Travel Tuesday and the continuation of my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™.

  • Travel Tuesday: Luxor Remodeled Pyramid Room (and Tower Room) Hotel Review

    Travel Tuesday: Luxor Remodeled Pyramid Room (and Tower Room) Hotel Review

    When my wife and I both reached fully vaccinated status, we knew exactly what we wanted to do next: head to Las Vegas. Sure enough, that’s what we did this past week (just ahead of everyone else doing the same thing, apparently), checking out several hotels in the process. Those reviews will be coming in…

    Travel Tuesday: V2 (Hotel Vandivort) Hotel Review

    It’s hard to believe, but it’s already been a couple of months since I enjoyed my first stay at Springfield, Missouri’s very own Hotel Vandivort. Since reviewing my experience last year, I’ve been waiting to make a return to this unique property and hopefully check out some of their other offerings. Well, the opportunity to…
