PLACES TO GO WHEN OUT

I visited this MARVELOUS Resort in during the Summer of 2014 and It is without a doubt a MUST SEE. The perfectly manicured grounds welcomes its guests and visitors and will provide more than an eyeful of beauty and luxury for your stay. This is a huge property and be sure to leave yourself enough time to explore it all and take it all in. The lobby is grand and decadent and features an expansive area to sit and relax and enjoy a drink. You can walk down a level and board an awesome small boat that will ferry you around the resort where  you can truly experience how wonderful this place is. Relax in one of their many pools or in a cabanas, enjoy one of their five-star restaurants, or play thru a round of golf on their immaculate golf course. I loved this place immensely and I  highly recommend a visit or a stay.

Over the years, Las Vegas has continued to evolve as a mecca for world-class entertainment. If you're planning an upcoming visit to "Sin City", then a walk thru of the " CITY CENTER "- comprised of the COSMOPOLITAN , ARIA, and VDARA resorts are an absolute must see! It honestly felt like a designer's paradise.....The architects and collaborators of this amazing-ness ( I know it's not a word....but it should be!), did quite a job of pulling off numerous ways to keep everyone who sees this place enticed with great visuals and a memorable experience. The shopping plaza "CRYSTALS" that bridges the resorts is a fantastic display of designers pushing the limits of functional creativity. Always known for it's lavish casinos and endless restaurants, City Center does not disappoint when it comes to that either. I got to experience both the buffet and Cafe Vettro located inside the ARIA Resort during my visit- and to put it simply- It was a wor...

This place is world famous and is popular both with locals and with tourists and literally oozes with rich history dating back to prehistoric times! This is still a very active tar pit believe it or not and you can always see the tar bubbling through the water as it collects along the banks. There are a number of Musems in the immediate area including the Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art or LACMA , , the George Page Museum of Natural History , and lots more to see.

My first wine tasting experience couldn't have been any better! The Coppola Winery Located in Northern,CA (Geyersville to be exact) off of the 509 freeway is a great place to visit. It has different areas to relax including various bars, a spacious walking area, even a pool for use and cabana rentals. The interior doubles as a museum for all of the Great Director-Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic achievements over the decades.(Think multiple gold Oscar Statues) The most amazing part about the whole experience is that if you're a fan of "The Godfather" movie series directed by Coppola in 1972, then you will love that the famous "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" dead horse scene was filmed here-in fact the entire mansion from that scene is the winery now. Visit the Coppola Winery Website to get more info on this historic place while enjoying some great wines too. Get more great ideas on where to go at  ITS ALL ARTS Also check out my ...
