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.

Beginner's Green Recipe

A couple of months ago I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and I was motivated to change my lifestyle and eating habits. When I was younger, around 12-13 I believe I ended up in the hospital for a very bad ache on my stomach. I couldn't move and I fainted. I ended up staying in the hospital for about 3 days with IV's on my hands. I was very skinny less than 90 pounds. All I had eaten was a bag of Hot Cheetos and a Pepsi. I was dehydrated. I pretty much learned my lesson, I couldn't eat any meat for years, I stopped drinking soda and it took me 6 years for my stomach to be able to handle things suck as steak, or even a hamburger. Ok, I have to admit I did not eat healthy all throughout my college years because of time and money. Now that I am done with school I am trying to go back on track and change my eating habits. After watching the documentary I decide to try these juices they are talking so much about. I had never like...

Hask Hair Chia Seed Oil Volumizing Collection Review

I am very excited to share yet gain a Hask product I am absolutely in love with. This is the Hask Chia Seed Oil Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner duo that have hydra boost. I have always had straight hair and liveless for that matter so a volumizing shampoo is exactly what I need.

Hask has a variety of products for your special hair needs, including  Hask give results they added volume to my usually straight hair.

They are $6 a piece and in my opinion a great investment for your beauty routine. They save you time and money and I reco...
