KM Explains it All!

Vacation's All I Ever Wanted...


I FINALLY have booked a vacation.  I'm the type of person who has to be planning a trip at all times or I will complain that I haven't been anywhere in a while.  Jen Bou, my friend Kristin, and myself will be going to Vegas in August!  And even better some of my other friends will be there at the same time!  Needless to say it will be crazy shenans!  In the upcoming months I'll share about how I'm preparing for the trip and what different things I do that help me feel more organized.


The first part to planning any trip is, of course, the location and where you're actually staying.  Since we're going in August there were a few things that we thought were without a doubt absolutely necessary:
1.  Pool (the dessert in August...need I say more?)
2.  Good location
3.  Not too expensive
4.  Casino (we preferred a place that had a casino already on site)
5.  Nightlife


Luckily for us Expedia.com had some pretty good deals and there were a lot of hotels that offered some sort of percentage off.  After calculating costs, looking at where they were on the strip, and checking out the amenities we decided on the Monte Carlo!

The Monte Carlo is located right in between New York New York and the Mandarin Oriental giving it a great location.

It also has a pool and a lazy river as well as a fabulous looking drink list.  The easy part of planning this trip is over.  Now on to the more difficult part...shopping for what to bring...


What do you look for in a hotel when you're planning a trip?  Let me know!!!

  1. Omg, I'm going to be in Vegas in August too :) As for hotel we have been look through expedia too. We did find one for only $94 a night and we are splitting between three people, but its right across from the a convention center. It's nothing compare to the Monte Carlo though. Looks great! Have fun ;)
