Las Vegas is one of the most famous tourism destinations in the USA. The city is particularly popular with gamblers, who can enjoy themselves in hundreds of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. On the Glanzmeile, endless buffets and thousands of slot machines are offered.

But even in Las Vegas, not all hotels and casinos are created equal. While some resorts have focused on their casino offerings, others shine with their excellent cuisine and luxurious furnishings. For this reason, Las Vegas is also an ideal holiday destination for non-gamblers who just want to be pampered.

We would like to introduce you to some of the most popular casino hotels in Las Vegas and what advantages they offer their guests:

Caesars Palace – The specialist for sports betting

Caesars Palace is one of the most famous casinos in the world. In almost every Hollywood film that is also filmed in Las Vegas, the famous hotel is used as a background. In recent years, Caesars Palace has also developed into a paradise for sports lovers. An entire floor of over 15,000 m² offers sports betting fans a unique experience. On a 41-meter-long LED video wall and many oversized TV screens, almost all current sporting events are broadcast. Sports bets can be made at any time on the gaming floor. In addition, visitors can use their own app for the casino and have food delivered directly to their tables.

ARIA – The Paradise of Slot Machines

Actually, Las Vegas only became known through the many slot machines or one-armed bandits. Not only does ARIA offer guests the most slot machines on the Las Vegas trip, but the hotel also has one of the most exclusive high-limit slot rooms in Nevada. Games of up to $5,000 per move can be played in this room. In a very exclusive setting designed by star designer Peter Marino, visitors can be served by a team of butlers and use their own personal bathroom. Everything is done for the wealthy guests to make them feel comfortable.

In the entire resort, over 2,000 slot machines are available for visitors. The ARIA is also known for the annual slot tournament, which attracts many gaming enthusiasts from all over the world.

Bellagio – Play poker with class!

The Bellagio’s poker room is known worldwide among amateurs and professionals. In the hotel’s poker room, there are 40 tables where a wide range of poker variants can be played. A Limit Hold’Em tournament is offered daily at 14:00.

Players can have food and drink delivered to their tables and can order a back and neck massage at the table at any time. For players who want to make higher stakes, there is a special room in the Bellagio. It was named after Bobby Baldwin, who won the World Series of Poker Champion in 1978. If you are interested, you should take a look at the special poker room late at night and you can see professionals playing for millions of dollars.

MGM Grand – more than just gambling

Of course, there are few resorts in Las Vegas that don’t offer their customers gaming tables or one-armed bandits, and the MGM Grand is no exception. However, the huge hotel is known in Las Vegas for its charm and leisure activities. You can play pool in the level-up or enjoy the largest Pac-Man game in the world. At CBS Television City, you can sign up for the chain’s latest TV shows, which include MTV, CBS, and Nikelodeon, among others.

Golden Nugget – the largest table game offer

The golden nugget has become known for its wide range of table games. Almost every day new games are offered on the main playing area, so this was also the first time that Free Bet, a variant of blackjack, was played. The resort even offers table games outside by the pool and customers can store their money in a waterproof bag provided free of charge by the hotel.

Red Rock Casino Resort – Away from the stressful Strip

For decades, it was common to build new casinos or resorts only on the famous Las Vegas Strip. The address was indispensable if good visitor numbers were to be achieved. The Read Rock is one of the first casino resorts to break with this tradition. It was built in the far west of the Las Vegas Valley. The resort cost over 1 billion dollars and can therefore spoil visitors with world-class spas, many large pools, chic bars, bowling halls, a huge bingo hall, cinemas and a complete gambling floor. All facilities convey the same glamour as on the famous gambling mile, could only be designed much larger due to the distance from the Strip.

Another highlight of Read Rock is the many restaurants. Celebrity chef Scott Conant’s Italian restaurant and the famous Chophaus steakhouse are just the highlights of what visitors to Red Rock Casino Resort can expect. While the distance to the Las Vegas Strip might deter some visitors, this resort is well worth a visit for its many recreational activities.

Travelling to new regions on a ship cruise, marvelling at fascinating sights and exploring the world’s impressive metropolises is a holiday dream for many people. In addition to cruises across the great seas, this dream is also made a reality by the popular river cruises. Compared to the overseas cruises, the sections between the ports of call are much shorter on a river cruise. This allows travelers to enjoy a variety of different impressions even with a shorter travel time. The river cruise ships take travelers to the most beautiful natural landscapes and the most interesting sights on our planet. They glide calmly along the rivers. As a result, the risk of getting seasick is much lower with this variant of cruises than with overseas travel.

During their stay on board, holidaymakers do not have to do without anything. The ships have very comfortable furnishings. They are very comfortably equipped from the cabins to restaurants and bars to other common areas. There are standard outdoor decks where travelers can relax and view the most diverse landscapes. With the various offers for sports, wellness and entertainment, there is no boredom and there is still enough space for rest and relaxation.

The range of river cruises is as varied as people’s wishes and ideas of a perfect holiday. They are available for just a few days as an introduction to the river cruise adventure or for several weeks. In addition to the well-known cruises on the Moselle, Rhine, Elbe and Danube, the great rivers of the world, such as the Seine, the Duero, the Volga, the Nile, the Mekong or the Amazon, are also traveled.

Rhine River Cruise – dreamlike landscapes and sublime cities in the heart of Europe

On a Rhine cruise, travelers have several regions in a total of five countries to choose from. In the spring area, the Swiss city of Basel is a cultural and historical stronghold that awaits its guests. The charming old town with its many boutiques, shops, cafés and small restaurants invites you to stroll and the more than 30 museums are a delight for all culture lovers. Travelers are offered an impressive nature experience with the Rhine Falls, Europe’s largest waterfall. Other highlights of Rhine cruises are Lake Constance, the Alsatian capital Strasbourg with its breathtaking cathedral and the lovingly restored half-timbered houses. The journey through the German Middle Rhine Valley leads past the famous Loreley Rock, imposing castles and palaces as well as huge vineyards. The many interesting sights in the German cities of Mainz, Worms, Cologne, Rüdesheim, Bingen, Koblenz, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Duisburg are worthwhile destinations during shore excursions. In the far north, the Rhine runs through the Netherlands with its beautiful cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Danube River Cruise – in the footsteps of the Habsburg dynasty

A Danube cruise is one of the most famous and popular European river cruises. The journey starts in Germany via Austria, Hungary and Romania and is an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, city strollers and travellers interested in history. Along the beautiful river landscape of the Danube, the impressive and historic cities of Passau, Linz, Vienna, Budapest and Bucharest line up like on a chain. On sightseeing tours through these cities, there is a huge selection of different sights to marvel at. In Passau, the Veste Oberhaus castle complex and St. Stephen’s Cathedral with the largest organ in the world awaken unforgettable impressions in visitors. The medieval city centre of Linz with the castle, St. Martin’s Church and many other historic buildings stretches directly on the right bank of the Danube. It is hard to imagine a Danube cruise without a shore leave to the Austrian capital Vienna. The Prater, the fish market, the many cultural and historical sights from the time of the Habsburg dynasty and, last but not least, the way of life of the local population give this city a unique charm. In the two metropolises of Budapest and Bucharest, there are not only interesting sights to visit during a stroll through the city centres, but the small boutiques and shops invite you to go on a relaxed shopping tour.

River cruise Volga – on a course of discovery through “Father Russia”

At the latest at the end of a Volga cruise, it is clear to every traveller why the local population affectionately calls their very multifaceted and historic country “Father Russia”. The route runs through the European part of Russia, past gigantic forest areas, rugged landscapes and beautiful meadows and floodplains. During the cruise , passengers can marvel at a very diverse flora and fauna. In addition to the unique nature experience, it is also the Russian metropolises of Saint Petersburg and Moscow with their many beautiful monumental buildings that inspire visitors. The immeasurable wealth of the former Russian royal family can only be guessed at by visiting Catherine’s Palace, Peter and Paul Fortress, Issaks Cathedral and the art collection of the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg. Via the Moscow-Danube Canal, travelers reach the vibrant Russian capital Moscow. The legendary Red Square with the Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre and the huge GUM department store are just a few destinations for going ashore in Moscow.

Nile River Cruise – History Excursion through an Ancient High Culture

Egypt is one of the most visited countries in the world. Marveling at the testimonies of the pharaohs’ time with your own eyes is at the top of many people’s holiday wish lists. The large monumental buildings are located directly on the banks of the Nile. A Nile cruise is thus like a journey through history through the ancient high culture of the pharaohs. The huge pyramids as burial places of the pharaohs and the fascinating temple complexes for the homage of the priests and gods can be seen by travelers from afar and can also be admired by them from close up during shore excursions. The sightseeing programs include the pyramids of Giza, the temples of Luxor, Karnak and Edfu as well as the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Queens. In addition to these impressive sights, exploration tours through the vibrant metropolises of Cairo, Luxor and Aswan are unique holiday experiences. Watching the oriental hustle and bustle at a bazaar in these cities is sure to remain an unforgettable holiday highlight.

Amazon River Cruise – Mysterious Adventure Trip to an Exotic World

A cruise on the world’s most water-rich river is like a never-ending experience of nature. On the routes along the Brazilian rainforest, the “Jau National Park”, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, or the Anavilhanas Archipelago, the Amazon presents itself in all its biodiversity of exotic plants and animals as well as in an incomparable blaze of colour. In addition, the cities of Manaus, Santarém and the Amazon village of Alter do Chão invite you to interesting shore excursions.

Although winter is already beginning to show itself outside the window, you can also enjoy the exotic atmosphere of Africa in your own home. All you need are wall stickers. Animals from the savannah against the backdrop of picturesque landscapes change your room decoration by 180 degrees.

In the world of interior design, easy-to-install and eye-catching stickers are becoming increasingly popular. Forest animals and motifs from local nature have been very trendy in recent months, but you can not only be inspired by them. A great idea is exotic countries and their nature. In this way, you not only create a cozy, but also a holiday home design that puts you in a positive mood, especially in the winter months.

How can we conjure up such an arrangement in no time? With self-adhesive stickers and posters. That’s enough to bring the flair of a tropical safari into our home.

Picturesque Africa at your fingertips

It is worth bringing a picturesque African landscape into the decoration of your bedroom to create the perfect conditions for relaxation and recreation here. A large-format photo with a view of a sunset, against the background of which silhouettes of trees and animals running around can be seen, causes that not only a beautiful view appears in the room, but also a very cozy atmosphere prevails. In which arrangement does this decoration prove itself? An African landscape will suit a bedroom where there are wicker or dark wood furniture. A
sticker on the wall
behind the headboard of the bed completely changes the character of the interior.

Another suggestion that is ideal for the bedroom is a sticker in the form of a watercolor landscape. Thanks to a subtle color scheme and the picturesque character of the composition, this pattern is suitable even for a very small bedroom, as the decoration does not overwhelm the room. The depiction fits well with a minimalist, romantic and boho-spirit room design.

Exotic arrangement in retro style

Another idea, this time ideal for the living room, are
wall stickers
in the retro spirit. Animals walking among tropical trees transform an ordinary arrangement into a remote corner of the African continent, while the ancient aesthetic gives the whole a very elegant and timeless touch. The retro style is currently enjoying great popularity, and contrary to what you might think, accents in this aesthetic can be combined not only with an old room décor, but also with a modern home design.

A sticker depicting tropical vegetation and animals – lions, zebras, giraffes or elephants – as in old nature illustrations will become a delightful addition to the living room. Such a landscape does not have to be the only exotic decorative accent in the living room. A smaller sticker may appear on the adjacent or opposite wall showing a cheetah sitting or lying on a branch.

Safari, which visually enlarges the room

Wall stickers can not only decorate, but also perform a very practical function. This can be seen very well in the example of a small room area. By choosing a spatial design, we can visually enlarge a small space. What do such 3D stickers present? Animals that continue to walk against the background of steppes overgrown with dwarf trees. Such a landscape, which goes far beyond our field of vision, transforms a flat wall into a space limited by nothing. Even though it may seem that a safari is only about sunburnt areas, there are also green enclaves here.

And a landscape in shades of green is a great solution. A sticker with such a landscape will not only make your living room look bigger, but it will also make it your private oasis of peace where you can relax after a long day.

Invite wildlife into your own four walls

Images of wild animals can also be brought into the interiors thanks to posters. This is also the perfect recipe for lightning-fast metamorphosis and introducing an exotic flair into our homes. A diptych or triptych depicting wild cats or walking giraffes looks beautiful.

African motifs prove themselves not only in the living room and bedroom, but also in children’s arrangements. All toddlers love animals, and so images of elephants, giraffes, lions or zebras certainly appeal to every child. The already mentioned self-adhesive decorations can be applied not only to the walls. They work well on any smooth surface. For this reason, we now mention another excellent solution: window stickers. Animals placed on a glass pane are a good idea if you live on the ground floor and want to shield the children’s room from the outside world, or if in a small room the walls are almost completely covered by furniture and there is no room left for decoration.

An exotic atmosphere can accompany you every day if you only bring African decorative accents into your interior. Stickers with a picturesque sunset, wild animals or an artistic landscape reminiscent of a watercolor are a simple recipe for a truly spectacular metamorphosis of the interior.

Winter is a special time for travelers, especially those who don’t like cold air. Many beautiful places become inaccessible for a while – and not because of the snow cover, but mainly for safety reasons. The cold months are therefore a time when many of us dream of a little tropical warmth. What if, in addition to distant destinations, we also invited the wild jungle into our homes?

The interiors of globetrotters’ homes should be unique – just like the memories of exciting journeys. Souvenirs from all over the world need the right framing so that they are visible and put a smile on the face of everyone who has taken part in this special journey. But the arrangement can also refer to beloved places – e.g. Amazonia, which makes it not only green, but also warm!

Green frenzy

The green color has a beneficial effect on our well-being. Above all: green reassures. That’s why we feel more rested in spring and summer! So it’s worth bringing it into the interiors – not necessarily in the form of an extravagant wall colour, but e.g. through charming accessories – pictures. The jungle that can be seen on them gives the living room or bedroom a certain wildness, mixed with simple elegance.

It is best to complement them with flowers – those that are typical of Amazonia and that also grow successfully in our pots at home! Thanks to them, the living room presents itself like a real jungle!
Canvas prints
with the motif of such exotic vegetation and with animals that like to hide in the tops of the trees make a distant journey to the sea tangible.

Souvenirs from distant journeys look excellent on colonial furniture, but also on wicker furniture. Animals made of balsa wood, enchanting dream catchers and South American scarves that give the arrangement a holiday flair!

A bloodless safari!

An exotic holiday cannot be without attractions – this undoubtedly includes jungle animals! Pictures of these adorn every corner of the house. They can be inserted into boho and safari-style arrangements.

They can be complemented with all kinds of figures – made of metal, balsa wood or plaster, especially if they look modestly out from behind the fern flowers or a large monstera. The atmosphere of a real safari is at your fingertips – don’t hesitate to add unique memories of past trips!

Small and large Asian trips

But who says you have to go overseas and to Amazonia to feel tropical warmth? Only the jungle provides a heat that warms us on cold winter evenings? Pictures with animals can also serve as a souvenir and decoration for travel enthusiasts who love Asia!

Animals that appear in this Eastern culture perfectly complement the oriental room decoration, and the panda motif provides the desired balance! Exoticism, as we know it from India, but also from China or Japan, can be a great way to decorate the bedroom or living room, so that in these interiors we feel like we are in a hotel on the other side of the world!

Simple decorations reminiscent of beloved destinations are a great interior design motif – thanks to them, we can always feel as if we are on a real vacation. These embellishments provide a bit of a break before our next journey into the unknown…

Bermuda shorts are famous all over the world for the shorts of the same name, as a tax haven and, of course, for the infamous Bermuda Triangle. However, only very few tourists have been there so far. Bermuda is an exclusive destination, isolated in the North Atlantic. The islands can be reached by plane or cruise ship. The British Overseas Territory is rather unsuitable for backpackers, campers and individual tourists. Here you will find exclusive resorts, small guesthouses, hidden hideaways with private beaches for couples and honeymooners and plenty of golf courses. Bermuda is a world of its own, a mixture of British traditions, American lifestyle and a dash of the Caribbean. The world-famous Bermuda shorts are ubiquitous and are worn by business people in everyday life to appointments or in the office. English is mostly spoken, but Portuguese and its own dialect are also widely spoken. Payment is made either with US dollars or the equivalent Bermuda dollar, otherwise all cards are accepted everywhere. By the way, with the necessary change, you can spend the vacation of your life here in the middle of paradise.

Pink sandy beaches line the coasts

Bermuda’s beaches are in a class of their own. The sand is world-famous for its small, pink coral particles. You have access to the water almost everywhere, but the south coast in particular offers an endless selection of different beaches. The most prominent is Horseshoe Bay in the district of Southampton, not far from the Southampton Princess Hotel. The panorama is breathtaking. To the left and right are rock formations that offer beautiful motifs for photography. Holidaymakers and locals mingle on the beach, because Horsehoe Bay is the hotspot par excellence. Catering and beach rentals are available directly on site and there are plenty of parking spaces available. If you like it a little quieter, walk to the end, because behind the rocks it is less crowded and all the more beautiful. If the hustle and bustle is too much for you, head to Warwick Long Bay. The beach is wide, it is often windy and the water gets deeper quickly, making it ideal conditions for passionate swimmers and snorkelers. This is the longest beach in Bermuda and of a special beauty. One of the beach classics is Elbow Beach. There is a public and a private beach that belongs to the hotel. If you are coming from Hamilton, you have a relatively short distance by moped, taxi or bus. You won’t find shade, but a soothing breeze blows.

Very British: A game of golf in Bermuda

A game of golf is good form in Bermuda. Nowhere else in the world are there more golf courses in such a small area. Golf is omnipresent, because away from the busy main roads you can see golf carts crossing the streets or listen to the tees. Even the PGA Tour has discovered Bermuda for itself and so the Port Royal Golf Course is home to the Bermuda Championship, which is endowed with 3 million US dollars. If you fly to Bermuda to play golf, you should pay attention to appropriate clothing in the clubs. Tee times can be conveniently booked through the hotel and in the off-season the green fees are also a bit cheaper than in midsummer.

Diver’s paradise in the North Atlantic

The Bermuda Islands are a well-known hotspot for divers and water sports enthusiasts from all over the world. The archipelago is surrounded by enchanting coral reefs and about 300 sunken shipwrecks. This means that Bermuda is home to by far the most wrecks on the seabed in the world. This fact alone ensures ultimate diving fun. Access is also very easy, because often you can just start from the beach to swap or snorkel. Otherwise, you can also rent a boat or join a tour and go scuba diving to one of the well-known places. In addition to corals and wrecks, it is above all the biodiversity that populates the corals. Countless fish in dazzling colours find a home here and make every tour an experience. Bermuda is therefore on the bucket list for every passionate diver.

Cup Match Festival

In midsummer, everything revolves around cricket on the islands for two days, because that’s when the Cup Match Holidays take place. St. Georges in light blue and Somerset in red and dark blue always play against each other and the whole island is thrilled. Whether in front of the TV at home, in the stadium on site, at the raft-up in Mangrove Bay or even camping by the wayside with your own TV and barbecue. It’s the most exuberant party of the year and all generations join in the celebrations. It’s loud, it’s colorful, it smells wonderfully of local delicacies (beef pies, jerk chicken, fish sandwiches and much more) and music is playing everywhere. In the tents on the playground, Crown & Anchor is being played diligently. You have to experience it. But Cup Match is not only cricket, but actually Emancipation Day is celebrated, i.e. the abolition of slavery in Bermuda, which was carried out on August 1, 1834. The second holiday is Mary Prince Day. If you can, you shouldn’t miss this unique spectacle and become part of the Cup Match Festival.

Culinary highlights

If you appreciate good food, you will find it on the Bermuda Islands. Especially in the vibrant capital Hamilton, there are countless restaurants that bring the catch of the day fresh to the plates of their guests. You should definitely try the Bermuda Fish Chowder, a local fish soup that can be found almost everywhere, but also tuna and snapper can be tasted in many places. Otherwise, you can also eat Asian, Italian or American. This all has its price, but you also get a lot on offer. The traditional Sunday dish Codfish & Potatoes, consisting of cod, potatoes and bananas, is also highly recommended. The national drink is the Dark’n Stormy. The popular cocktail is served with Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and Ginger Beer and tastes nowhere as delicious as here. In trendy restaurants, you should definitely reserve a table in advance. In the evening, men should always wear long trousers, for fine gastronomy you should have a tie ready.
