18 Review of Vegas nightclub Tabu in the MGM Grand

28 August 2011

MGM Grand is well known for its night club scene and is always improving the way it presents customers with new ideas to make their nights in Vegas ones that they will never forget. With the opening of the Tabu night club back in 2003, MGM also came up with another way of describing just what it was that they were offering their customers. The word that was on everybody’s lips was ‘ultralounge’. Not to be found in any dictionaries the public were intrigued to find out what MGM meant by this new and intriguing terminology.

Over the years the meaning of the word has been more than understood, it has also been appreciated by all those people who have partied the night away in Tabu. This hotspot night club is very intimate, not at all like the massive clubs close by at all.

It just about takes 400 people to fill Tabu up without it feeling cramped and overcrowded. State of the art technology has been introduced into every aspect of the club, including inclined table tops (?) a mega sound system with interaction videos dotted here and there are the club strategically placed for subtle effects that can barely be noticed by the crowd which is a really nice subtle touch.

Luxury Villas for Rent - Villa Rosemarine, Dalmatian Riviera, Croatia

12 September 2010

The Villa Rosemarine is one of the premier private locations in the Croatian area. This one-of-a-kind villa is located on the Island of Brac, one of the foremost destinations of the renowned Dalmatian Riviera. The Villa Rosemarine is turning heads for a few reasons other than its prime location, too. This recently renovated villa is certainly a Croatian area highlight.

Overlooking the waters of the Adriatic, the Villa Rosemarine is in a prime location sheltered by the surrounding trees yet still open to the sunset. The south end of the villa offers panoramic views of the entire chain of Dalmatian Islands, making this waterfront villa a sightseer’s paradise.

Croatia doesn’t usually hold the same tourism appeal as some other locations around the globe, so the designers made sure no expense was spared when reconstructing Villa Rosemarine. The white-stone front of the villa is the exact same material used on the White House in the United States and also on the Catholic Cathedral in Liverpool, England.

Mandarin Oriental Hotels are among the world’s largest and most popular group of luxury five-star resorts. They have a few widely popular locations around the globe, and their hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand is certainly one of the nicest.

World's Most Luxurious Hotels - Oriental Hotel Bangkok

13 March 2010

Located on the Chao Phrya River in Bangkok, Thailand, the Oriental Hotel has been one of the country’s most impressive - and equally illusive - draws for many decades. While it stands alone as one of the most breathtaking and bold hotels in the country, it’s also one of the most exclusive, with high-end clientele making up the lion’s share of its guests.  

However, the Oriental Hotel is constantly renovating and adding and improving space. So this leaves some of the hotel’s rooms bordering on the affordable side, making it possible for average vacationers to stay in style and luxury. There are 358 rooms in total at the Oriental, with 35 ultra exclusive suites, including the famed Authors’ Suites.  

The spellbinding views of the River of Kings and the towering architecture of Bangkok is enough in itself to lure guests into the Oriental Hotel. However, the hotel’s reputation was built on more than surrounding scenery. It was built on elegance and decadence, and the many rooms, restaurants and spa suites keep it atop everyone’s list of the best hotels.

World's Most Luxurious Hotels - Palazzo Verace on the Gold Coast, Australia

06 March 2010

Australias Gold Coast is certainly one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. With an average of over 240 days of sunshine every year, the sub-tropical climate of the Gold Coast is appealing to almost every vacationer. So when Versace wanted to build a luxury resort, Australias sunny locale was the perfect spot for it.

The Palazzo Versace is easily the best fashion-brand resort in existence. Other popular names in fashion have tried the same branching out, but have failed with overtly cheesy efforts to brand their name on subpar properties. With the Palazzo, guests are treated to the epitome of luxury and elegance in a location that speaks for itself.

The outside view of the Palazzo Versace alone is enough to make any reputable list of top resorts. With towering palm trees, luxurious pools and separate buildings overlooking the spectacularly clear harbor, the property can be described as nothing less than breathtaking.

08 December 2009

Off the coast of Central Queensland in Australia, the Cumberland Islands are a chain of beautiful islands and islets that stretch miles through the Pacific. Cumberland is part of the large Whitsunday Island chain, and its crown jewel is undoubtedly Hayman Island, home to the Hayman resort.

First built in the 1950s by Reg Ansett, Hayman Resort is the quintessential tourist attraction of the chain and of the 400 hectares of Hayman Island, the resort’s buildings and activity areas covers nearly everything but the beautiful beaches.

Of course, the actual resort isn’t that large, but after factoring in the various tour zones, different retail stores, golf courses and other sporting zones, the entire Hayman Island seems to be one giant resort. The location of the island itself is near perfection. When Ansett set out to choose his location for building a resort, he had carte blanche to choose any island in the Whitsunday chain.

World's Most Exclusive Hotels - The enormous Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island

17 November 2009

Hotel restaurants are becoming more and more common. Even a tiny Super 8 on Route 66 is bound to have a small diner inside where guests can enjoy a hot meal and a cold drink to save them the trouble of going elsewhere. It also helps to build a hotel’s reputation and revenue, that’s why we see so many high-quality restaurants in hotels these days.

Of course, most-if not all-overshadow the small diners at run-of-the-mill hotels. For instance, the Grand Hotel, located on Mackinac Island, Michigan, boasts a few restaurants that are fit for a king� or a president, as it were.

The Grand Hotel is considered to be America’s "summer place." Aesthetically, it’s one of the most beautiful structures in the entire country, glistening white and expanding over the entire horizon with its gargantuan size.
