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
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
When we originally visited Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park earlier this year, I had every intention of trying out sandboarding for the first time. Since I love snowboarding so much, I thought maybe sandboarding would be just as fun. Unfortunately, we got to the park later than expected due to some last-minute changes so we ended up just taking pictures around the sand dunes. If you are planning on visiting, the main thing that you
Valley of Fire State Park : Hiking to The Fire Wave
We only had an afternoon to visit Valley of Fire State Park so we decided to use our time wisely and just go straight to the Fire Wave. Valley of Fire State Park is located about an hour north of Las Vegas, Nevada by car. The Fire Wave is famous because of the way the sandstone is made up of different layers of red, pink, and white sediment that resembles an ocean wave. Most people
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
10 Best Instagram Spots Around Honolulu
For today's blog post, I thought it would be fun to list what I thought were the ten best Instagram spots around Honolulu. As much as I have a love-hate relationship with Instagram, I always find myself trying to find Instagram-worthy locations to take pictures of. Even though I am way more comfortable taking pictures behind the camera, I know one day I'll appreciate the pictures that I'm in. Granted, Instagram has taken photography to
[Updated] The Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii
I'm excited to share with you my 2021 Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii! I wrote a blog post like this back in 2018 on my former website and thought I would write an updated version on my new site here. For my readers that don't know, Hawaii has special discounts on luxury brands that aren't available anywhere else in the world. A sales associate once tried to explain to me that it's because
Hiking the Lanikai Pillbox Trail
This was my first time hiking the Lanikai Pillbox Trail and I can't believe I've never done it before. I've been to Lanikai Beach probably four times now and didn't even think about doing this hike until this past Hawaii trip. We did this hike the day after we landed so we wanted something that wasn't too strenuous but still felt like a workout. The views were amazing for pictures and the hike wasn't too
Top 15 Honolulu Restaurants That I Would Actually Eat at Again
There are many lists that will tell you what the best restaurants are out there right now, but I thought it would be useful to make my own list based on the top Honolulu restaurants that I would actually eat at again. I think it says a lot about a restaurant if you’ve already been there and are willing to spend your money back there again. I've been to Oahu many times over the years
Prince Waikiki Hotel Review
During our Hawaii trip this past February, we decided to fly to Oahu and spend nine glorious days at the Prince Waikiki Hotel. If you've read my previous blog post about traveling to Hawaii during COVID, then you probably already know that a small group of us decided to "work from home" for a week in Hawaii. Since we were planning on staying nine days, we wanted to stay somewhere that was comfortable for all
Chanel Hawaii Shopping Guide (Special Hawaii Pricing)
For the sixth installment of my luxury shopping guide, we're going to visit the Chanel Hawaii Waikiki store located on Luxury Row. This store is a little bit farther from Waikiki Beach than most of the other luxury stores, but at least that means there are fewer tourists and people to deal with. If I'm not lucky enough to make it over to France, buying Chanel in Hawaii is my next favorite place. In my
