Down In The Bayou! New Orleans, Louisiana

My recent trip to New Orleans, LA was nothing short of a wonderful experience filled with rich culture, great food, and chill people!  In determining where to go for a quick weekend getaway, NOLA was the perfect place to visit within a short period of time without feeling overwhelmed or as if time was not on my side.  Take a look through my photo gallery to explore the beauty and charm of the bustling, yet quaint, city.  Pictures are worth a thousand words!

Las Vegas Calls Generational Families to the Strip!

So, you say the kids are keeping you from venturing off to Las Vegas.  Well, not anymore.  If Disney can expand its brand by offering entertainment to those beyond their adolescent years, then Vegas can do the same thing in the opposite direction.  And so far, they have been doing a pretty good job!  

To assist in planning your Las Vegas family vacation, I compiled accommodations and attractions for you and your loved ones in the big city! Check out my expert list and contact me to initiate your planning process right away!
    • Mandalay Bay – Shark Reef Aquarium.  They offer a Dive With Sharks Program.  The Mandalay Bay Theater is famous for its phenomenal shows, including Michael Jackson’s One.  The outdoor beach-themed pool offers a lazy river.
    • Luxor – The Luxor connects to the Mandalay Bay.  The Egyptian pyramid resort is the new home of the incredibly talented, Jabbawockeez.  These talented dancers crazed audiences internationally with their Michael Jackson’s One performance. It also houses the Score Interactive Sports Exhibit and Bodies: The Exhibition.
    • The Mirage Resort – They have a live lions and dolphins display as well as the famed, Siefried & Roy’s Secret Garden.
    • Excalibur – Jousting anyone?!? They offer an incredible jousting dinner show.
    • New York, New York – Your personal amusement park - roller coasters and arcades - outside your hotel room.  
    • Paris Las Vegas – An incredible Eiffel Tour view.
    • Golden Nugget – A three-story water slide running through a shark tank.  What!!!  
    • Treasure Island (Buccaneer Bay) – Tell the kids wouldn't enjoy dinner overlooking a pirate battle!
    • Circus, Circus – Adventure Dome (the largest indoor amusement park), the Sling Shot and Disk O thrill rides as well as the world’s largest permanent circus.
    • Stratosphere – The much talked about Big Shot ride.
    • The Venetian – Romantic, cultural gondola rides.
    • Excalibur – Tournament of Kings dinner
    • Flamingo Hotel – Nathan Burton Comedy Magic
    • Planet Hollywood – V: The Ultimate Variety Show
    • Dining: There are buffets galore! The majority of the resorts offer coupons/vouchers.
    • Shopping: Incredible outlet shopping.
    • Credible Tour Vendors: Pink Jeep Tours.  They half/full day tours of the Grand Canyon, the West Bank, and Hoover Dam.  Tours are available in helicopters and Jeeps. 
    • Transportation:Rental cars, the monorail, and taxis are all available.  
And you said you had to put Las Vegas on hold.  Las Vegas will always offer non-stop fun and entertainment for the mature crowd, but they are succeeding in revamping their brand to accommodate generational families who still like to have a good time.  Let the family good times roll!
