2024 Louis Vuitton Pricing Guide (USA vs. Japan)
Since the Japanese Yen is weak against the US dollar right now, I decided to make for the first time, a Louis Vuitton Pricing Guide! I really wanted to see if if Louis Vuitton Japan is cheaper than in the U.S. or not especially, since in the past, it was infamous for being more expensive. I remember even as a kid, all the Japanese tourists would come to the States, especially Hawaii, to buy all
Seriously, How Much is the VAT Refund in Japan? At Louis Vuitton? Dior?
This is the official guide to calculating the VAT refund in Japan. There are a LOT of information out there about what percentage you actually get back and I thought I would finally write a blog post so you don't have to wonder where those extra dollars went.

myVEGAS Rewards: Hotel Comp Calendars (Jan 2024-June 2024)
The myVEGAS Rewards hotel comp calendars for January 2024 through June 2024 are here! Once again, we get a set of 6 months rather than the usual 4 months. This is great since we get to plan into the busy summer months, but unfortunately, there aren't a lot of great comps to be had. I didn't find one single Friday or Saturday date even for the lower end hotels like Luxor and Excalibur. These deals
2023-24 Chase Sapphire Reserve and Ikon Pass Discount
You can just imagine my joy when I recently found out that Chase Sapphire Reserve and Ikon Pass have an amazing partnership deal! Maybe this deal has been going on for awhile, but I literally just noticed it the other day through a Chase email blast. I was so bummed earlier this year because I missed Ikon Pass' renewal sale and the price jumped $200 from $1,059 to $1,259! Luckily, with this Chase Sapphire Reserve

myVEGAS Rewards: Hotel Comp Calendars (Jan 2023-June 2023)
The myVEGAS Rewards hotel comp calendars for January 2023 through June 2023 are here! There are some noticeable differences from the last set of comp calendars. First, we get six months of calendars instead of the usual four. Since I've been playing this game, they've usually only released four months at a time. For this round, they have given us dates until June! Second, they brought back some weekend dates, especially for the spring and
The Ultimate Guide to the Christian Dior Outlet
I have finally made it to the Christian Dior Outlet, everyone! While I was on a work trip out in New York last week, I decided to spend an extra day visiting Woodbury Commons which is a premium outlet mall much like the Desert Hills Premium Outlets that I always talk about.
