Las Vegas Day 1


View from our window
Hello everyone, the reason I haven't been on lately is because I had the opportunity to attend the MAGIC Trade Show in Vegas. So we left on Monday and we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. I was not happy. I had booked the hotel almost 2 months ahead of time to avoid situations like this. I received a 2 bedroom room when I only needed one bed. At the beginning I was looking at the bad side of the hotel and all their imperfections because I was upset about the price and room mix-up.


The Good and the Bad at Hard Rock Hotel:

Good 

  1. Great Music
  2. Great Atmosphere
  3. Great Decor (love the furniture, wallpaper, color scheme)
  4. Loved the bedding (I slept like a rock...lol)
  5. Walking distance from CVS
  6. Close to Convention Center
  7. Complimentary Wi-Fi
  8. Complimentary shuttles to strip
  9. Pools are great (best ones i've seen)
  10. Great View

Bad

  1. High Prices on rooms
  2. Mini Bar was not what expected (7.50 for a $1.50 SmartWater)
  3. It could be cleaner (dusty furniture, old shower curtains)
  4. Complimentary Soap, Shampoo and Conditioner were dry and sticky.
  5. Far from strip
  6. There is a limited amount of food options: Few Restaurants
  7. Long lines at registration 


So staying at the Hard Rock was not that bad at the end we got a $100 dollar refund only to pay $200 for 3 days 2 night stay. If they had said that sooner they would of avoided my complaining and headache.

So my advise to you is never use Booking.com it is the worst website I have ever used for traveling purposes. They ask for your credit card information and for what! The hotel said it does not secure your spot and there is no discount.

I know what you mean about hotels and traveling problems, this year, in Paris, was the first time I had a vacation were we had no problems with the room, water, we were really close to everything.
That view you had is amazing.

Guest Post: New Anti-Aging Treatments to Try in 2017 by Diana Smith

Removing the signs of aging has become a real trend in the past years, and patients didn’t even care if they had to go under the knife, as long as the result was a younger looking face. However, for those who’ve always wanted a rejuvenated skin, but were afraid of surgical procedures, 2017 brings the new trends that all of you’ll love. From injectable solutions to lasers and radio frequency, the new treatments are cheaper, easier and safer, so you’ll never have to go under the knife again.

Hello Kitty Forever 21 Review

Hello Everyone, so I mentioned the Hello Kitty Collection for Forever 21. I  took a little while to write this post because I have been super busy at school. This is what I got from the collection. I had also purchased the Chococat peplum top and a really cute beanie I had to return because it had some thread that was coming apart. I loved this collection I think they have really cute stuff and I would have purchased more items but I feel like I have to be at the store and try out the stuff (to avoid returns). There was a problem at all the Forever 21 stores I went to, they did not have a lot of items I was interested in. If you wish to purchase I believe they are still stocked online and a few at the stores but let me warn you it is a mess.
