Love To Walk at Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas

Of all the hotels I visited in Las Vegas, I always love to walk in Caesars Palace Hotel. I don't know why but I just love it here. Sometimes we go shopping, eat out or simply go around and see what's going on. Is it because it resembles Rome? the city that I always wanted to see and explore. This is taken somewhere inside the Caesars palace Hotel. I miss this place and my sister too..never forget to mention my lovely cousins there!

Beautiful Ceilings At The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas


Until now I can't imagine that I was in Las Vegas. It was a year ago that I visited this city which is one of the famous cities in the world. I was also fascinated by the architecture of different hotels here which reflects the different places around the globe.

I have here a very beautiful ceiling of the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas. If you will click the photo to make it larger, you see more how beautiful it is. This is where I also found toilets that are very nice and clean. It seems that it is already a bedroom where you can sleep. I guess all their door knobs in each room suite are also expensive. hmm..wish to visit Vegas again next time!

Michael Jackson, The King of Pop Passed Away Thursday

Autopsy set after Michael Jackson's sudden death

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson, defined in equal parts as the world's greatest entertainer and perhaps its most enigmatic figure, was about to attempt one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Then his life was cut shockingly — and so far, mysteriously — short.

The 50-year-old musical superstar died Thursday, just as he was preparing for what would be a series of 50 concerts starting July 13 at London's famed 02 arena. Jackson had been spending hours and hours toiling with a team of dancers for a performance he and his fans hoped would restore his tarnished legacy to its proper place in pop.

An autopsy was planned for Friday, though results were not likely to be final until toxicology tests could be completed, a process that could take several days and sometimes weeks. However, if a cause can be determined by the autopsy, they will announce the results, said Los Angeles County Coroner Investigator Jerry McKibben.

Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.

Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

"It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known," his brother Jermaine said.

Cardiac arrest is an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems.

ackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

His 1982 album "Thriller" — which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" — is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.

As word of his death spread, MTV switched its programming to play videos from Jackson's heyday. Radio stations began playing marathons of his hits. Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital. In New York's Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died, and people began relaying the news to friends by cell phone.

'Charlie's Angel' Farrah Fawcett dies at 62

LOS ANGELES – Farrah Fawcett, the "Charlie's Angels" star whose feathered blond hair and dazzling smile made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s, died Thursday after battling cancer. She was 62.

The pop icon, who in the 1980s set aside the fantasy girl image to tackle serious roles, died shortly before 9:30 a.m. in a Santa Monica hospital, spokesman Paul Bloch said.

Ryan O'Neal, the longtime companion who had reunited with Fawcett as she fought anal cancer, was at her side, along with close friend Alana Stewart, Bloch said.

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," O'Neal said. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

She burst on the scene in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in TV's "Charlie's Angels." A poster of her in a clingy swimsuit sold in the millions.

She left the show after one season but had a flop on the big screen with "Somebody Killed Her Husband." She turned to more serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an abused wife in "The Burning Bed."

She had been diagnosed with cancer in 2006. As she underwent treatment, she enlisted the help of O'Neal, who was the father of her now 24-year-old son, Redmond.

This month, O'Neal said he asked Fawcett to marry him and she agreed. They would wed "as soon as she can say yes," he said.

Her struggle with painful treatments and dispiriting setbacks was recorded in the television documentary "Farrah's Story." Fawcett sought cures in Germany as well as the United States, battling the disease with iron determination even as her body weakened.

I was there and I was so happy with that experience. I can smile till my ears due to happiness when I went walking at the Universal Walk where L.A. comes to play !

Los Angeles is the largest city in the state of California and the second largest in the United States. Often abbreviated as L.A. and nicknamed The City of Angels, Los Angeles has an estimated population of 3.8 million and spans over 498.3 square miles (1,290.6 km2) in Southern California. Additionally, the Los Angeles metropolitan area is home to nearly 12.9 million residents. Los Angeles is the seat of Los Angeles County, the most populated and one of the most diverse counties[4] in the United States. Its inhabitants are known as "Angelenos" .

Los Angeles was founded September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles del Río de Porciúncula (The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of the river of Porziuncola). It became a part of Mexico in 1821, following its independence from Spain. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican-American War, Los Angeles and California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States; Mexico retained the territory of Baja California. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood.

Los Angeles is one of the world's centers of business, international trade, entertainment, culture, media, fashion, science, technology, and education. It is home to renowned institutions covering a broad range of professional and cultural fields, and is one of the most substantial economic engines within the United States. As the home base of Hollywood, it is known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World", leading the world in the creation of motion pictures, television production and recorded music. The importance of the entertainment business to the city has led many celebrities to call Los Angeles and its surrounding suburbs home. source wikipedia

Amazing Flower Show in Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas

I can't deny that I always love flowers. I witnessed the flower show in Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas last year. What caught my attention was the fountain that was installed to the garden inside the hotel. It was awesome. They also have a train model that keeps running in the bridges of the garden. This is only a part of the flower show. I hope to share more photos in a couple of days when I feel better. I might also share about Outer Banks that you might be interested in. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. No escapade for me now until I feel better.

I Went Partying in Las Vegas

Time truly pass-by so quickly! Imagine it has been a year that I had a vacation in Las Vegas! I can't forget all the memorable and fantastic moments that I had there. I only did not met my sister and her family but also spent time with relatives having fun! My cousin there performs as a singer in one of the band in Vegas. They played before in Ballys Hotel. Everytime they play there, I also go with her partying. I can't forget as we go every night partying and go home in the morning. It very very tiresome but also very enjoyable. I thought of taking immune system boosters but I guess I am good without it. In fact I survived those moments having sleepless nights partying! such a great place to have fun! Only in Vegas!

Getting To KNow The 44th President of the United States of America

I was surprised tonight after I found out that the present and the 44th President of the world's most powerful nation, BarrackHussein Obama II has the same birth date as I am. The only difference is the year of birth. Of course, I am very much younger than he is..wink! Are people who are born on the 4th of August really unique and intelligent? wink! I am just kidding guys! I am just curious about the life of the 44th President of the United States that's why I research for him. I believed this is also a good way of discovering America and knowing their leaders too. I also found this topic very interesting that is why I am also sharing it to you. Below are some information about Barrack Obama. More infos about the US leaders next time.

Barack Hussein Obama II (pronounced /bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 2005 until November 2008, when he resigned after his election to the presidency.

Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.

Obama served three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, Obama ran for United States Senate in 2004. His victory from a crowded field in the March 2004 Democratic primary raised his visibility, and his prime-time televised keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004 made him a rising star nationally in the Democratic Party. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 by the largest margin in Illinois history.

He began his run for the presidency in February 2007. After a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination, becoming the first major party African American candidate for president. In the 2008 general election, he defeated Republican candidate John McCain and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009.... more here

Meeting A Friend in Las Vegas, Nevada

Sometimes when I travel, I only don't go for sightseeing but also for enjoyment, meeting old and new friends, taking pictures, shopping and a lot more. During my vacation in Las Vegas, Nevada, I also met new and old friends. I met one of my good friends named Mercy who live now in Las Vegas. I also met new friends during my stay there. This photo I have with Mercy is a memorable one for me. I guess I did not see her for almost 8 years and only in Vegas that we met again. If you are planning for your vacation in Las Vegas, you might want to visit Westgate for great offers! Happy trip!

Importance of Credit Report in the United States


Obtaining a credit or loan in the United States can sometimes be very difficult. This is very true especially if you don't have a good credit history or no credit history at all. During my vacation in Las Vegas last year, my sister told me that she is planning to buy a new house. She works as a nurse there. She said that she cannot avail for it because she need a credit report. My sister is still not one year living in Las Vegas as I spent my vacation there. Now she is still building her credit history because of her plan to buy a new house. I guess that is a good plan about her and I will be happy once her dreams are slowly coming true. Everybody wants a good and comfortable life. right guys?

I guess my sister's husband who is a Realtor in Vegas already know where to obtain a free credit report once she already qualifies to mortgage a house. If not, I might tell them to visit Credit Nexus to obtain a 3 in 1 credit report. My sister even mentioned to me that their social securities are insured to avoid if not to eliminate identity theft. I guess this so-called identity theft is a very difficult thing. Imagine another person is using your name and personal identification to obtain a credit for his own interest. This can be very scary. One way to also find out if your identity is stolen is to obtain a credit report. Just a reminder! Always maintain a good credit history, so that you can avail of whatever credit plan you may obtain in the future. I guess, you have an idea now about the importance of having a good credit report.

...also sharing a picture of The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas during my vacation last year. I miss my U.S. vacation!
