Pest control and Fun facts about bugs

Of Genting Highlands and Las Vegas

I imagine people in Singapore and those from the southern states who visit Singapore on a regular basis, are looking forward to the new Genting entertainment centre on Sentosa Island. I read the other day that there is a S$100 entrance fee for Singaporeans.

Genting Highlands is the only place with an on-land casino in Malaysia (and Singapore) and it is popular with Singaporeans who sometimes make day-trips to the City of Entertainment as Genting Highlands is known.

Travelling from Singapore to Gentings is not a short distance. It takes five to six hours of travel on land. Making a trip once in a while is not a problem but if one enjoys casino-gambling, it is quite a hassle having to go through such long travel hours.

That is the reason why many resort to casino-gambling online these days. There are many online casinos available and one of the better ones is Online Casinos Planet. Theirs is a quality website with useful casino information. They have a ton of games available, some are even free to play.

For serious players, they have information and tips to better your game. Check out their interesting videos of what you would experience if you were to visit Las Vegas.

By the way, let's just take an exciting virtual tour of Las Vegas casinos.

Targeting Las Vegas and the West Coast

With this flu going on, looks like any plan for overseas travel would have to be put on hold.

A group of my co-workers are planning to make a trip to the US this fall. Hope this flu scare would be over by then.

Las Vegas is one of the places on their agenda and they have been busy checking out sites with various packages on Vegas vacations. Of course, Los Angeles is also on the itinerary besides the Grand Canyon and possibly San Francisco. Keeping my fingers crossed for them.

Have You Been to Las Vegas?

Over lunch the other day, my co-workers and I got to talking about going places and what are our dream destinations.

A friend related that he lost his wallet (of cards and cash) the very first day in Rome. Oh dear!, I thought to myself and that's the place, plus the rest of Italy, that tops my list of places to visit. LOL!

Las Vegas is a popular choice. Those who have been there sang praises about the place and the abundance of accommodation. Hotels las vegas are aplenty, that's what they noticed.

A Holiday in Las Vegas

You hear a lot of mention, in the papers, over the news, personal laments, etc., about the economy downturn. Prices of goods and services are escalating like nobody's business making a big dent in incomes, hike in oil prices being the culprit. And yet people are still going on holidays, which is a good sign really.

Recently, some colleagues were talking about a trip to the west coast of the US and were discussing choice of las vegas hotels. This is certainly a case of too many choices and difficulty in picking out one as there is an abundance of accommodations in Las Vegas.

Hotels in Las Vegas

Even though there are many hotels in Kuala Lumpur, when it comes to certain times of the year, almost all rooms in 5-star hotels are being snapped up. A case in point is the end of March when Malaysia plays host to Formula One from Mar 21 through 23. Even the week following that is also packed and it can be rather trying for corporate clients.

Perhaps KL needs more hotels like the huge number of hotels in Las Vegas where you will be able to secure a room anytime of the year.

Las Vegas has the Most Expensive Hotel Room in the World

I have always enjoyed reading up on places to know more about them. Travel news provides me with much pleasure. Probably why I like watching Discovery and Travel Channels.

Ratestogo.com with the latest travel and hotel news around the world, would fit perfectly as a travel site I would visit and use as a travel guide. What's great about this site is that it even recommends suitable hotels available and best of all, you can make bookings directly.

I read with interest their article on the Ice Hotels. I didn't know there are so many of them and each with their own unique features. The site's suggestion of Six All Time Favorite Games For Travelling would give any parent some peace while the kids entertain themselves.

Did you know that the most expensive hotel room in the world is in the US? You thought it's in Dubai, didn't you? I learned it from Ratestogo that the most expensive hotel room in the world is the $40,000 a night Hugh Hefner’s sky villa at Palms Hotel in Las Vegas which tops the list as the most expensive luxury accommodation for 2007 though Hef himself has only stayed there once. I wonder which lucky Playmate got to play with him.


Talk about Las Vegas, how much do you know about Las Vegas?

According to Wikipedia, the area was previously settled by Mormon farmers in 1854 and later became the site of a U.S. Army fort in 1864, beginning a long relationship between southern Nevada and the U.S. military. Since the 1930s, Las Vegas has generally been identified as a gambling center as well as a resort destination primarily targeting adults. Relatively inexpensive real estate prompted a residential population boom in the Las Vegas Valley in the 1990s and continues to the present day.

The Las Vegas Strip (also known as The Strip) is a 4 mi (6.7 km) section of Las Vegas Boulevard South that has been designated an All-American Road. Only part of The Strip is located within the city limits of Las Vegas, Nevada: the section north of Sahara Avenue. The section south of Sahara Avenue is in Clark County's unincorporated Township of Paradise, Nevada. Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located here on The Strip.

In 2007, the Las Vegas brand was the second most-recognized brand behind Google. In 2005, the valley hosted 34.7 million visitors. Are you part of this statistics?
