Hump Day Hotels: Caesars Palace

Quick Facts:
     
     Age of the Hotel:          Old, but doesn't seem like it by any means
     Quality of the Hotel:     Good
     Room Price:                 One of the mid-range priced hotels
     Hotel Theme:               Roman Empire
     Shows to See:              Absinthe
                                        Elton John - The Million Dollar Piano

The Long Version:

     Caesar's Palace is probably one of the more famous hotels on the strip thanks to movies like The Hangover.  Thanks to these kind of things, Caesar's Palace has been able to remain relevant and popular despite its age being over 50 years old. And as we've seen from hotels like Bally's, being old can sometimes make it really hard for you to keep up. Regardless, Caesar's has aged well and continues to be a hot spot for people staying in Vegas. Their show Absinthe has gotten a lot of good reviews, and I believe is the top rated show on the strip right now. Don't quote me on that though. I personally have never seen it but I hear about it a lot on the radio. The inside of the hotel is nice, whenever I'm on the strip I like to take a trip inside just to look at the architecture. 

     The price of the hotel isn't too bad. It has a low price of about $155 but of course it can get a lot higher than that. This places Caesar's Palace at around the middle of the pack in terms of how expensive the hotel is, so it isn't one of the places you want to go if you're trying to save money, however if you want to stay in a popular hotel without having to pay a minimum of $400 then you would go here. All in all it's a good hotel with a good show going for it and you can tell all your friends you stayed in the same hotel that The Hangover was in. 

The Short Version:

     Popular hotel with good quality for a middle of the road price.

Monday Funday [8/11] - Super Summer Theatre

So last week for the first time I saw the musical adaptation of Shrek. And while it was a little bit different than the movie, it does make for a good event for people of any age. The atmosphere is very friendly and you'll see kids playing in the field around the stage before the show starts, people with their picnic blankets, and everyone just generally having a good time. The musical itself is entertaining, and the crowd is very responsive and supportive to give the whole experience a nice atmosphere. The tickets are rather inexpensive, $8 beforehand and $10 at the door, the only thing you may be spending a lot of money on is the gas driving out to its location at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park.

That's what the stage looks like, you can see it's a very chill environment, people just sit on their blankets and watch the show. It's a great place to go for a cheap fun date or just to get the kids out of the house. You can find more information about it here.

Hump Day Hotels: Monte Carlo

Quick Facts:
     
     Age of the Hotel:          Not old, but not new (1996)
     Quality of the Hotel:     Pretty good
     Room Price:                 Surprisingly inexpensive
     Hotel Theme:               Neoclassical?
     Shows to See:              The Blue Man Group

The Long Version:

     Before I write these little information blogs, I make notes about my personal experiences at the hotels and then do some extra studying to get the information on like room pricing and age and reviews, all that jazz. When I was looking at the room pricing for the Monte Carlo, I was actually pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive their rooms are. Of course, you nee to be aware that you have a mandatory $22 resort fee to pay upon check-in so the prices are slightly misleading, but there were some rooms available throughout the week for as little as $49. The Monte Carlo is also home to my favorite show on the strip, the Blue Man Group. It's not a show for everyone so I won't fanboy too much about it, but I suggest everyone see it at least once. The Monte Carlo has been advertising their experience as "Unpretentiously Luxurious," making a bit of a jab at the more pretentious hotels here trying to make themselves seem more open to guests.

The Short Version:

     Good price hotel with a fancy theme without the pretentiousness.

Monday Funday [8/4] - Purple Penguin

So this isn't so much of a place you go to spend an hour or two, this is just a little snowcone place that has arguably the best snowcones ever. Whenever I tell my friends in California about this place, they always have doubt because when you say "snowcone," people usually think about those not-so-good paper cones full of crunchy ice you got for $1 at the high school fundraiser carnival with what little flavor there is sunk down to the bottom of the cone leaving you a flavorless pile of frost. No. The people at Purple Penguin have somehow figured out a way to not only make the ice in to something that actually resembles "snow," but also a way to make sure that there is flavor at every level. I probably sound ridiculous but if you've ever had one of their snowcones you know that I'm not exaggerating. 

Look at that snowcone. You know what, I just convinced myself. I'm going after work.
