The Luxurious MGM Grand, Las Vegas

October 22, 2013 by Virginia TseLeave a Comment

As a guest of the MGM PR team I was in Las Vegas to cover the iHeartRadio Festival and a number of related activities. I stayed at the MGM Grand for 3 nights. MGM Grand exceeded my expectations. A waiting limousine whisked me from the airport to my room. The driver was friendly and we soon struck up a conversation; he grew up only less than 5 minutes away from my hometown. Besides the driver being personable, it was a pleasure to enjoy the … [Read more...]

Greek Isles and Turkey

July 20, 2013 by Phyllis Steinberg1 Comment

The Greek Isles and Turkey is a voyage that is best experienced on a sailing ship. I had visited the Greek Islands and Turkey before, but never on a yacht with sails. This was also my first experience on Wind Star, a 148 passenger, four deck vessel with six self-furling, bridge-operated sails. It seemed as if the sea and the ports were custom made for this smaller ship allowing passengers to fully experience the areas just as they were centuries … [Read more...]

Without An Address, You Can’t Go Home

June 15, 2013 by Tom Bentley21 Comments

When I lived in Las Vegas, my title at United Parcel Service was "Bad Address Clerk." Because Vegas is a town of drifters, grifters and shifters of identity, packages would continually go astray, paralleled by the wanderings of their addressees, who in a month's time in Vegas might have changed their residence—and their jobs, spouses and perhaps even their sex—two or three times. And then disappeared. So my shelves were filled with boxes large … [Read more...]

Visiting Monaco

June 7, 2013 by Dave2 Comments

Monaco is the world's second smallest independent nation, the most expensive country based on per capita income, containing the most expensive real estate in the world across the country and the world's most densely populated country! We weren't sure what to expect prior to visiting this remarkably wealthy country. You know you are in Monaco when you hear the throaty growl of some super car in the distance racing through the steep hills of … [Read more...]
