My Recommendations To Visit in Las Vegas (By Kendra Thornton)
To say that I love to travel would be an understatement. One of my top places to visit is Las Vegas. There is not enough time to explain in detail all the entertaining places and fantastic restaurants in the city. However, there is time for me to highlight four great experiences.
1. My Education with Dolphins
When I visited Las Vegas for the first time with my husband, he decided to take me to Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. He did this so that I could receive dolphin training. When I began my education, I worked with Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. I learned about projects that feature these amazing creatures. At the conclusion of my education, I felt like I was a marine biologist.
2. My Thing with Pink
Pink is one of my favorite colors. Therefore, my husband and I immediately signed up for Pink Jeep Tours. It is hard to describe the emotion I felt as a Pink Jeep drove up to our hotel. After we got in, the tour guide began to explain various sites in the city. The next time we are in Las Vegas, we will be taking a Pink Jeep all the way to the Grand Canyon.
3. Challenging Food Options
Eating is a way of life for many people. Las Vegas captures the challenge of food with various hotels having unique deals on meals. For example, the BRAND Steakhouse in the Monte Carlo features a steak that is 120 ounces. If an individual eats this steak that is named the “Ultimate Steak,” it will be free. Another food challenge at a different site highlights a humongous burger. These challenges make a trip in the city more exciting to me.
4. Musing Over Museums
I am a fan of culture, and I like to visit unique museums. One such museum in the city is the Neon Museum in downtown. It has unique artwork in the facility, and it features the neon legacy of Las Vegas. Another fun museum I hope to visit next time is the Discovery Children’s Museum. Although some people consider it as a place only for children, there are many things that adults would like.
Las Vegas is a city that truly is for everyone. Unique hotels along the strip and endless sites to see and things to do are what make Las Vegas great. Sites like Gogobot make it easy to plan your trip and read user reviews so you can be even more comfortable when you visit. Many activities and food options are at great prices. My previous experiences in the city inspire me to go back again and again.
5 Reasons Why You'll Love Malacca, Malaysia (By Globetrottertalks)
Malacca (Melaka in Malay language spelling) is one of two UNESCO World Heritage Cities at the Straits of Malacca which is also one of 13 states in Malaysia. It is well-known for its multicultural heritage. Back in the 15th to 18th century, it was famous for the trading activities between Europeans and Asians. The culture and landscaping of the town developed after the colonization of Portuguese, Dutch and the British.
Here are 5 reasons why you will not regret visiting to Malacca:
1. Philea Resort & Spa, the unique pine log resort in Malaysia
It is 123km to the South from KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport). Known as the largest pine log resort in the Malaysia Book of Records, everything is totally different the moment you step into the place! As if you are being in the forest in the middle of the busy city.
2. The Stadhuys & Portuguese Monument, A Famosa
The Stadhuys, which is also known as the Red Square is a historical structure built by the Dutch occupants back in the 17th century. The oldest remaining Dutch historical building is now the Museum of History and Ethnography. In the museum you can learn something on the history of the Dutch occupants during their settlement. Malaysia previously was being colonized by the British, Dutch and Portuguese which was a big struggle for our ancestors back then. Standing tall next to The Stadhuys is the A Famosa, a fortress built by the Portuguese in the 16th century. It is interesting to see different architecture of different culture (Dutch & Portuguese) in the same place! A Famosa means ‘The Famous’ in Portuguese language. If you are looking for souvenirs, worry not because you find plenty of stalls nearby selling little gifts to bring home!
3. Melaka Bird Park
Melaka Bird Park has the largest collection of Malaysia bird species that is nearly 700 species! Apart from Malaysia’s birds, it is also the home to birds South America, Asia, Australia and Africa. I was so excited to experience such beautiful creation coming from all over the world. Even more exciting is their canopy walk in the forest which was serene and relaxing. You would never want to miss experiencing nature beauty at its best in this charming environment and scenery!
4. River Cruise along Malacca River
Malacca River has a boat tour that takes about 45 minutes to an hour going around the city of Malacca for sight-seeing. It is active the whole day from morning till late night. There will be a tour guide highlighting the interesting places as you are passing by them. Nevertheless, it is good to inquire the tourist office first hand regarding the river cruise’s operation since they will be up only during high tide.
Trishaw is know as 'Beca'. A lot of decorative trishaws to bring you around the city of Malacca.
Casa del Rio, one of the finest hotel in Malacca. A member of Concorde Hotel.

5. Shopping Paradise, Jonker Street
Jonker Street is the heart of the town. It is the busiest street at nights especially during the weekends with hawker stalls that are selling scrumptious local delicacies! The most interesting experience was the live street performance in the middle of the street. Performances can be seen on Saturday nights.
