Here's where I go when I am traveling

Nashville, TN 37214

2.0 star rating
  8/13/2011

Welcome to South East Las Vegas Island.

The Opryland has the enormity and expanse of a Las Vegas hotel without the glamour and choice afforded in Nevada.   The property is a $25.00 one-way cab ride away from downtown. Unless you take 5 of your closest…More »

It's challenging to review hotels I stay in for work because I tend to let some things slide when it's not on my dime.

The room was fairly large and had a fairly spacious balcony that, had I not been working, would have sat on reading a book with a…More »

I'd love to promote myself as an organized traveler who scouts delectable goodness with intention, but, as with most of my life, I tend to stumble into the lucky.

My first trip to Denver was mostly wandering slackjawed at the eccentricities of the…More »

(Review for the $35.00 2.5 hour City/Katrina tour)

If you plan to take this tour, I highly recommend taking it your first day in town.  The city portion is part history lesson, part restaurant commercial, and part amateur comedy hour.  

Plus, he showed…More »

I walked into this bar because I heard a song I loved from the street.  It happened to be Spring Break, so the clientele was a mix of convention guys looking to have affairs and college girls trying to fund their nights by bending over to the front…More »

Black lights be damned, nothing says "home" to me like a hotel.  When I click the heels of my ruby red slippers; I hope I get to open my eyes to a king size bed, 9,000 pillows on a fluffy white duvet, giant windows, black out curtains, room…More »

We do not have H & M in Austin, so I was beyond excited to find one just a few blocks away from our hotel. Unfortunately, it didn't open until 11:00am, so we decided it was a good time to have some breakfast.  

Sadly, my only previous experience with…More »

Sometimes my Yelpers are spot on.  Other times? Not so much.  My experience Hua Sang was somehere in between the two.

I was on a work trip with an adventurous colleague who, like me, prefers to rely on the kind words of Yelpers than some conciergy…More »
