On Monday several different packages for Las Vegas hotels such as MGM Skylofts, Mirage, Luxor, and more will go on sale via the Daily Getaway Deals.

Even though there are very limited quantities of these packages available, I have received several questions regarding my experience with… Read the Rest.

Last fall my parents put on their backpacks, packed lightly, took a shot of whiskey (or Coke), and bravely went were no Mommy Points family member had gone before…on a Spirit Airlines flight. Since there is a (understandable) shortage of reviews of Spirit within the miles and points community, I had them share their experiences here. The short story is, it wasn’t great, but it was very cheap, and wasn’t… Read the Rest.

Even though Vegas isn’t the “family friendly” city it was advertized to be in the 1990′s, I’m still a huge fan. I like adults-only trips to Vegas, plus there are still a good number of things for kids to do there. In case you also like Vegas, I wanted to share info about a new partnership between the MGM Resorts loyalty program, M Life, and Southwest Rapid Rewards. Members of… Read the Rest.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post that mandatory resort fees were coming to the Caesar’s family of hotels in Vegas as of 3/1/13. This includes hotels like Harrah’s, Planet Hollywood, Paris, and Caesar’s that previously proudly proclaimed themselves to be “Resort Fee Free”.

Vegas is a bit famous for their inexpensive hotel rooms (so you can spend more money on the slots and shrimp cocktails of course)…however in recent years more and more of the hotels in Vegas have implemented infamous mandatory resort fee charges. I know I was bummed when the MGM-Mirage family of hotels added them a few years ago since it can add up over a three or four night… Read the Rest.

Helping my friends use my Spirit miles to book a trip to Vegas prompted me to want to refresh my memory on some of the best ways to find hotel deals in Las Vegas. I used to be pretty good at it since we went a couple times a year. Heck, we loved it so much we even got married there! ….but then we had a kid, and the frequency… Read the Rest.

As you may already know, my bag took a different vacation than me and didn’t show up in Las Vegas yesterday. That meant I had to quickly acquire a new swimsuit at the hotel. I knew there were swimsuits at the store “Khardashian Khaos” as I had walked by it on previous trips. I had never previously actually walked into the store. However, I ran in there as soon as… Read the Rest.
