How to Stay at the Bellagio Las Vegas for Free (Almost…)
Last month, my boyfriend and I decided to redeem our myVEGAS loyalty points for a free two-night stay at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. If you are not familiar with the myVEGAS app/game, I’ve made a very detailed blog post about it here if you want to learn how to get free rooms yourself. It’s a great way to earn free hotel nights at MGM properties without having to spend any money. It just takes
Playing the myVEGAS App to get Free Las Vegas Hotel Rooms!
When the myVEGAS app first came out, I believe it was just a Facebook game, and then came the mobile slot machine version. They advertised that you could get comped Las Vegas hotel rooms just by playing this game. I literally thought there was no way this could be true, especially on a free app. The only way I've ever heard of getting free rooms in Vegas was by spending a lot of money on
MGM Grand : Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection
I recently did a quick trip to Las Vegas and booked a room at the MGM Grand using the Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection website portal. I have found that there are three Las Vegas hotels on the Chase LHRC's website that are consistently priced below $100 during the weekdays: Park MGM, Mandalay Bay, and MGM Grand. I've written reviews on the Park MGM and Mandalay Bay, so I'm excited to finish off the
Mandalay Bay : Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection
Today we're going to explore another Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection property: Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. So, let's begin by saying that this trip wasn't even supposed to happen. One day I was looking at my Southwest Airlines account and noticed that there was $111 of unused Southwest credit. I haven't been flying as I used to and I must have forgotten all about it. The credit was due to expire in
Free Wine Tasting (Part 5) : Willamette Valley, Oregon
Welcome back to Part 5 of my free wine tasting series! We are going to continue on with the famous Willamette Valley since it was too long to fit all in one blog post last time. If you are interested, you can find the first Willamette Valley post here. The day that we visited these wineries, it was, unfortunately, raining all day. It seems that I can't get away from bad weather. First, it was
The Nines Hotel : Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts
On our last Oregon trip, we decided to stay at The Nines Hotel in Portland using our Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts benefit. I know of The Nines Hotel because of a previous trip I took years ago when it was still part of SPG. Today, the Nines Hotel is under the Marriott brand and is part of the Luxury Collection Hotel sub-brand. I haven't been to this hotel in probably five years so I
Free Wine Tasting (Part 4) : Willamette Valley, Oregon
In Part 4 of our Alaska Airlines Free Wine Tasting series, we are now going to visit the famous Willamette Valley, Oregon! Yes, the prestigious land of pinot noirs. A lot of people don’t know about this region, but it’s just as reputable as Napa or Sonoma. If you didn’t know, it’s actually pronounced “Will-AM-it” as in “Will-AM-it, dammit!” In the beginning, I was pronouncing it the wrong way and was literally practicing for weeks
The Ultimate Guide to the Gucci Outlet
As we are getting closer and closer to the gift-giving season, I thought I'd share with you an in-depth guide to the Gucci Outlet! There are multiple Gucci outlets around the world, but I'll be concentrating on the one located at the Desert Premium Outlets in Cabazon, California. You might be familiar with this location already as I blogged about the Christian Louboutin outlet store that's there too. Let's first start off with the fact that
Park MGM : Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection
I know I've been posting a lot about Oregon lately so today I'm going to change it up and talk about our recent visit to the Park MGM Las Vegas using the Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection (LHRC). You might have seen one of my earlier blog posts where we stayed at the Encore Hotel Las Vegas using Amex's Fine Hotels and Resort Program. Well, the Chase LHRC is almost exactly like that. We
Free Wine Tasting (Part 3) : Hood River, Oregon
In Part 3 of our Alaska Airlines Free Wine Tasting series, we are going to visit Hood River, Oregon! As a quick reminder, the way to get the free wine tasting is that you must have flown on Alaska Airlines from one of the 30 participating airports and will visit one of the listed Oregon or Washington wineries within a certain amount of days. You must be a Mileage Plan member and be able to
