myVEGAS Rewards: Hotel Comp Calendars (Sept 2022-Dec 2022)
The myVEGAS Rewards hotel comp calendars for September 2022 through December 2022 are finally out! There seem to be some relatively big changes to these calendars. First, there are NO weekend dates. I've found that usually around the holidays, myVEGAS will at least have some weekend dates available but after looking at these sets of calendars, I don't see any at all. Second, there are two-night awards for every hotel! I've never paid a cent
F1 Las Vegas 2023: How to Book a Hotel More Than a Year in Advance
I never thought I would need to book a hotel more than a year in advance until I heard that F1 was finally coming to Las Vegas in November 2023. Yes, if you must know, I jumped on Netflix's "Drive to Survive" TV series train and have been hooked on F1 ever since. I've been so hooked that my best friend and I planned a road trip from Los Angeles to the F1 USA Grand
Hyatt and MGM Hotels Double Points Promotion!
If you haven't heard, Hyatt and MGM Hotels are teaming up for a double points promotion! I couldn't be happier since my goal of achieving Globalist status next year will come from mostly staying at MGM properties. Especially, when some of the rooms are going for as little as $20/night on weekdays. Granted, the double points promotion isn't really going to benefit you if you are spending $20/night, but a typical weekend stay in Vegas
Where to Stay: Alila Ventana Big Sur Review
I first heard about the Alila Ventana Big Sur from another travel blogger who reviewed it almost a year and a half ago. After reading the review, I rushed over to the Hyatt website and booked the hotel for two nights on points. I wanted to stay here because I’ve never stayed at an Alila property before, but also mainly because this was an all-inclusive hotel in California! I’ve only seen all-inclusive hotels in Mexico
Where to Stay: Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas Review
Today, I'm going to give you my Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas review from my most recent vacation. Staying here was a very last minute decision I made for Memorial Day Weekend. I had a Hyatt Category 7 Free Night Certificate that I needed to use by the middle of June and had originally booked it at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands. I booked it there because we were already going to be up in Big
Where to Stay: Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Review
Using my points to stay at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells was probably the best hotel deal decision I have ever made. Around the same time last year, I got an email saying that Coachella would be coming back and presales were going to happen soon. So, in my mind, I rushed over to Hyatt's website to see if there were any hotels that I could book on points. I knew that the Hyatt Regency

myVEGAS Rewards: Exclusive Rates Calendars (May 2022-Aug 2022)
By popular demand, I am posting the myVEGAS exclusive rates reward calendars for May 2022 through Aug 2022. A lot of you have been asking recently so I thought I would do a blog post about it. I actually would have done it sooner but I didn't think anyone really cared about the exclusive rates, but now I'm glad to know that a lot of you are interested! If you are looking for the comp
Wynn Las Vegas: Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts
A few months back, I decided to stay at the Wynn Las Vegas for my birthday and I (of course) booked it through the American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts (FHR) portal. It's my favorite way to book hotel rooms to ensure that I get a nice view, late check-out, and some sort of food credit. Yes, the $695 annual fee is not something to joke about, but honestly, it is one of the few
Crockfords Las Vegas: Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts
I've been wanting to stay at the Crockfords Las Vegas since Resorts World opened back in the summer of last year. Resorts World is a mega hotel resort that is made up of three hotels: Hilton, Conrad, and Crockfords. I was lucky enough to stay at the Hilton during their opening night, but now I wanted to check out the other two hotels and see how they compare. For this trip, I only had time
