Tulalip Casino baller suite - Tulalip Suite Sept 2023

 

So, in all fairness I had to run a hospitality suite, but as a perk of doing so and staying up late every night, I got to stay in the Tulalip Casino's suite.  It was the largest hotel room I've ever stayed in, with a grand piano, two living room areas, a giant walk-in shower that could likely hold about ten people, a jacuzzi tub, a kitchen area (no stove), a bar area and a dining room table setup.  It was awesome. - Sept 2023.  I'm finally getting around to updating the blog!

Bedroom was nice/normal with a fake fireplace between the bedroom and living room.

COSMOPOLITAN WRAP AROUND SUITE, GHOST DONKEY, PARK MGM

NOVEMBER 2022

 I was at a conference and decided to use my 1 comp night.  Was sad as I'm no longer Platinum at Cosmo but am Marriott Platinum so I was sure to use my Marriott number to add to the room.  I got to check in at the Platinum Lounge area as such. I was upgraded to the wrap around suite!  Too bad I didn't get to use it much as I was pretty busy, but my roomie got to hang out in it a bunch.

 

Here are some pics from the balcony, Ghost Donkey (speakeasy in back of Cosmo food court), then our view from Park MGM later on in the trip and Best Friend in Park MGM.

Beverly Hills, Jan 2023 Beverly HIlton and Waldorf Astoria

 ahh the Beverly Hilton!

January 2023

I was there for a conference and luckily I was still Platinum, although there was no breakfast lounge here.  If I recall, I got a daily food credit instead.

I also visited the Waldorf Astoria rooftop bar next door which was really cool.  Great fun, good drinks.  I got to see a friend who I had just met in Alabama at a judicial conference as well!  

Byredo amenities in my favorite scent.  I was hooked.  This was overall a lovely place (they hold the Golden Globes here) and if I had to stay in the area, I would consider staying here again.  The Waldorf was much more luxurious, but at a hefty price.

The Whitney Houston room.  If you know, you know.
