Las Vegas is healing on the outside. But, there’s plenty of hurt you can’t see when you’re walking through a casino or down the Strip. The memorial at the Welcome To Las Vegas sign is crowded with people, flowers, candle, music and mourning.

Quick Update On The Hyatt Category Changes
Don’t forget to enter my Sterling Silver Starbucks card giveaway. Now that I’m not on a train anymore, I took a few minutes to go over the Hyatt Gold Passport award category changes we learned about earlier this evening.

It’s a bit scary to me that it’s moving up to a category 3, requiring 12,000 points a night. Grand Hyatt Sao Paolo is probably under-priced, […]

Just In Case Anyone Thinks Business Travel Is Super Awesome….
I spend a lot of time talking about points and miles, reviewing hotels and commenting on this and that in the world of travel. I’m always happy to share my experiences with you in the hopes that it makes your future travel experience more enjoyable. I don’t spend a ton of time detailing my business travel because it’s usually not very exciting. Last week wasn’t an especially exciting week on the road. In fact, it may have been the textbook definition of the daily grind, at least as far as […]

There have been a few exceptions over the years. Notably, Starwood used to have a relationship with Planet Hollywood right on the Strip. And, you can still stay at a Westin near the Strip, though […]
