An Unlikely Vegas-lover

I'm not a gambler, and I don't much go for flashy things, but I have to admit, I LOVE Vegas!

I booked at this resort for a weekend getaway with my sisters (no kids, no husbands, all Vegas, baby.) It was my first choice because we went in August and I had heard that their pool and beach were the best on the Strip. It was a bit of a…More »

AIN'T LIFE GRAND? Yes, but this hotel isn't. It's okay, nothing special. In return for listening to a sales pitch, we got 2 nights here for $100. A fair deal in my estimation.

We stayed in a studio, which was small, but had a fridge and a coffee…More »

Ooo la la! Bouchon is da bomb! First of all, I was there with my 2 sisters on a girls getaway and Bouchon serves Island Creek Oysters which are harvested in our hometown-- a cool and delicious coincidence. I had the soup du jour as an appetizer. Not…More »

SSSSSsssssshhhhhhhhhhh........ ...... DON'T TELL ANYONE. I like Hooters.

So, here's the story: We booked a great bargain at the Hilton, but it was only two nights. We needed a place to stay for our last night in Vegas, and we wanted something cost…More »

LAST MEAL ON EARTH. If I had to select my last meal on Earth, I would probably opt to relive my dinner at Picasso. The food, the service, the view, the wine, the ambience--the entire experience was perfectly magical.

My husband and I both had the pre…More »

Recently updated lists from Elizabeth R.

Online Discount Deals (22) Groupon, Gilt City, Travelzoo, Couptessa, Living Social, Open Table, Dealtificate, Google Offers, etc... I've tried 'em all. I'm a sucker for a bargain, and you don't have to ask me twice to try something new-- really, I'm just looking for an excuse to check out that new restaurant, that show, that destination. Some deals have been fabulous introductions to amazing new places, and others... well, we'll just chalk those up to experience.	Little Gold Stars (9) I'm a sucker for a bit of positive reinforcement! Here are my ROTDs.
High Noon at the Carrot Corral (5) These are the best places to have a vegetarian lunch in Downtown; and if you don't agree with me, let's take it outside, pardner. Draw on the count of three.	~~Pampered Princess~~ (10) Sometimes being glamorous is SO exhausting, we need to take a day off and go to the spa. Here's a list of the places fit for a princess with a couple of frogs thrown in... Oh, who'm I kidding! I drive a Prius and I work in a place where there's no door on the women's restroom; but every once in a while, you've gotta take off your bifocals, take the pencils out of your bun and live a little!
It's not as great as you think it will be--IT'S BETTER! (13) If I had to give up my Elite badge... or ...say, my spleen? Good-bye spleen. This is a list of Elite events I've attended in reverse chronological order.	I like tofu. Do you like tofu, too? (10) As a vegetarian, I appreciate a high-pro dose of soy curd now and then. I'm not sure why, but tofu prepared at home never seems to taste as good as the tofu at these places. If you're into tofu, give them a try.
North Dade by Boat (8) What's better than a great night out? A great night out by boat!	Such a Deal! (5) Where to go when you're watching the dimes.
Uniquely SoFlo (9) With all the sameness of chain restaurants and retail stores, sometimes it's hard to know whether you're in Paris, France or Paris, Texas; Miami, Florida or Miami, Ohio. These are some places with a uniquely South Florida flavor. Whether they're high glam hang-outs for the beautiful people, or hole-in-the-wall dives for the natives, you'll know you're in South Florida from the moment you walk in the door.	A Party in San Pedro (6) San Pedro doesn't exactly have a posh reputation, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. We were there for a family gathering and spent about 3 days carousing, drinking, and being tourists. Here are some high and low-lights.
