Here’s a video from our recent Las Vegas getaway. I thought The Venetian, where we stayed, was a little overrated. Without a doubt, it was a  gorgeous hotel and there were some incredible restaurants, etc… However, there was this essential oil-like aroma once we walked in that gave me a headache after about an hour. The scent was noticeable in the rooms as well. The casino section was also a little smokey. I would expect that in a lower-end hotel but not a 4-5 star resort.

Last August, I traveled to Costa Rica and stayed at Paradisus Playa Conchal which is still my best experience of all the resorts I’ve stayed. They are an all-inclusive facility and I highly recommend checking them out if you get a chance to make it down. Costa Rica is atop my list of places to relocate at the moment. I still would like to see a bit more of South America before I make the jump, though.

Getting back to Vegas. The third evening, we went to see Cirque du Soleil O at the Bellagio. I had heard this was the best performances to see and it totally lived up to the expectation, spectacular! Didn’t get any video camera footage of the show, unfortunately. There are clips available on YouTube, though.

Enjoy the video 🙂
