Summer Travel Series Part 2: Las Vegas-Where To Stay

July 23, 2017 By Ruthie Ridley 30 Comments

Day 1: The M Resort Spa & Casino

Hey there friends!! Early June, Ben and I went to Vegas.  The original purpose was for me to lead worship at a local conference! Because it would be only one day Ben and I decided to stay a little longer and get a feel for Vegas! The focus of this post today is to share where Ben and I stayed to highlight what we loved and hopefully give you options if you ever visit Las Vegas!! Our first stop was the M Resort Spa and Casino!! I really enjoyed this spot!! Our room was beautiful and I loved the pool!! Just a heads up, they do check your bags prior to entering the pool area and you cannot bring in professional cameras.  Ok so let me highlight what you can expect at this hotel!

 

  • Over 92,000 square feet of gaming (Casino Life!! LOL)
  • A variety of dining options… Food, drinks, coffee, ice cream… you name it!!
  • 23,000 square foot world-class spa— STUNNING… I wish I had time to enjoy this… I would just stare as we walked by everytime!
  • Pavilion, convention and wedding center!
  • 100,000 square feet of pool and entertainment space. The main pool area features two, 5,460 square foot  heated, infinity edge pools and two large hot tubs surrounded by fire torches……BEAUTIFUL!!

Day 2: The Mandalay

  • The Size of a small city!!
  • Mandalay Bay has 3,309 hotel rooms
  • 24 elevators and a casino of 135,000 square feet
  • 12,000-seat Mandalay Bay Events Center
  • A mall inside of the hotel!
  • Over 30 restaurants
  • On site entertainment and exhibts
  • Casinos gallore
  • A 94,000 + Sq. foot Aquarium

You get the idea! This place is huge! In fact they have an on site tram that can take you from the small city into the city of Las Vegas! lol

The wave pool was crowded but we still got in and cooled off! There were multiple  pools on site but we decided it was time for lunch and a quick nap! We had lunch at the Burger Bar and then came back to our room for a quick nap! We ended up sleeping for two hours but woke up ready to take on the evening!! Ben is all about exploring so I have learned to shut my mouth and just follow his lead! He has a great sense of direction and always makes sure we hit all the important land marks when we are visiting a new city! We hit the strip and walked around “New York City.”

The location of the Mandalay is great because it is right by the strip and all other major hotels.  As I had mentioned early, we took the tram from the Mandalay to explore the city! It was busy and exciting to see what actually goes on in sin city! I am a people watcher so this was totally intriguing for me!

Bellagio— this is where I want to stay next time!! STUNNING

Summer Travel Series Part 2: All the details on the 2 hotels we stayed at during our trip Vegas last month!! Where you should stay and why!

The Fountains Of Bellagio- These start at 8 pm and then go off every 15 min! So fun!!

The Bellagio was exquisite.  I mean, I felt like I was in someone’s mansion, just walking through.  Every detail was so posh and perfectly put together!  I told Ben next time I want to stay there! What is interesting about all of these hotels is that they make all the pricing for the rooms extremely affordable.  As you can imagine a lot of their revenue comes from the casinos within the hotels! If I were to be honest I loved both hotels.  The M Resort had the best room service I have ever experienced in my life.  I felt like royalty.  They come in, set up a nicely set table for you, uncover all your food and make sure you’re ok! I also liked the spacing and set up of the room and bathroom at the M resort! Ben and I liked the Mandalay better because of the size and location.  You didn’t have to leave the property ever! Hair, nails, massage, shopping, food, you name it, it is all on site! I also felt like the staff at the Mandalay were extremely kind and accommodating.  I felt like they went out of their way and I always appreciate that! I honestly didn’t even capture the vast capacity of this place! Hopefully you were able to gather an idea from both!! Thank you as always for stopping by the blog!! Have an amazing week ahead!! Ps.  Did you catch part one of my travel series!? You can read it here!

    When I went to Vegas for the first time last year we stayed at the Luxor. If I have my way, I want to get into Aria or the Cosmopolitan. The Cosmopolitan has a love for all things shiny and it fits my personality well.

    It’s been too long since I had a trip to Vegas! I’ve stayed at Caesar’s Palace and the one hotel that’s like Mardis Gras themed, but I’d love to stay at more of them. So nice!

    This is a beautiful hotel. I stayed at the Hard Rock and the Venetian the two times I went. The first time was in July and I said never again lol it felt like my skin was melting off.

    Thanks for the guidelines you have discussed here. Another thing I would like to mention is that computer memory demands generally go up along with other developments in the engineering. For instance, as soon as new generations of processors are introduced to the market, there is usually a related increase in the size and style demands of both pc memory and also hard drive room. This is because the program operated by these processors will inevitably surge in power to leverage the new technology.

    An fascinating discussion will be worth comment. I do believe that you need to write read more about this topic, it will not certainly be a taboo subject but usually everyone is there are not enough to dicuss on such topics. To a higher. Cheers

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending some quality time with other incredible creators at a retreat with @parkermanagement 🤍 It really felt like a retreat for my soul ✨Napa is also reallly good at forcing you to slow down and take in the gorgeous views 😌

Spending time with these wonderful humans this week reminded me that I still belong here, even though I might not look like everyone else (or feel like I fit in) that’s the beauty of it all right?

I think after doing something for a very long time and in this space specifically, it’s easy to feel imposter syndrome, self doubt and the inability to “keep up”. Although an app or an industry has changed over time it’s so important to stay true to yourself.

 So grateful for this time away & I’m leaving with my cup overflowing! God is always on time with these types of things. Just when we need another boost or some encouragement, He sends all the right people your away! He is just good like that 🤩
