The Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas announces unlimited drinks for stays in August (that includes at the pool too)! I wonder if they watched my YouTube video about their all-inclusive package back in June…because honestly, this sounds like a way better deal.

For other hotel savings, I constantly browse deals on Plannin (they usually have better deals on the same rooms you would find on Expedia or Booking): sign up for Plannin here (it’s free).

I get a lot of messages asking me if Plannin is legit 🤷‍♂️ Yes, it is! If you’ve ever booked a hotel on Booking, Expedia, Priceline, Kayak, etc - it’s the exact same.

(Stay tuned because I’ve got a really fun video in the works about it)

My thoughts on San Francisco…

I just got back from my first ever visit, and there’s something magical about visiting a place for the first time.

We’ve all heard and seen the headlines about SF over the last several years. Rampant crime, the whole city is a homeless camp & a testament to failed social programs.

However, in my experience, nothing could be further from the truth! SF has its own incredible energy - the scenery & landscapes, the unique architecture everywhere you turn, the food (omg the FOOD)...the city is a tourist's, foodie's and photographer's dream.

Chris and I truly left our hearts in San Francisco (that should be a song 😉).

I can't wait to show you ALL about it in some upcoming videos. In the meantime, check out my Instagram if you want to see some highlights.
