For the three nights in Vegas, I spent the first two at The Aladdin and the last at The Venetian. The 5-star experience I got from the latter was unforgettable, and it was even cheaper than the boring Aladdin because I booked it via Priceline. We got the cheapest suite (last minute Priceline deal), but the room was 700 sq ft (as advertised) and equipped with two TVs and a sofa bed (panorama).

I went to Vegas with Mom last month for 3 nights, and I was quite happy with how the trip went. I wanted to blog about this earlier, but I only get 20gb of bandwidth a month from my ISP and I could not upload my few hundred megabytes of photos until today. The trip was decided last-minute, budget was tight, but expectations were high. I managed to get my flight tickets and accommodations online for half the price quoted by the travel agents.

The Eiffel Tower Experience @ Paris

The Eiffel Tower @ Paris

We marched to Paris and went straight up the fake Eiffel Tower after we checked in. At first we weren’t so sure if we should spend 9 bucks a person to go up, but when compare to the Tokyo Tower or the Roppongi Hill Observatory, it seemed like a great deal. It was so worth it for the unbeatable view of the Strip and the Bellagio fountain show.
