99 Photos From the Las Vegas Strip

by John P.

New York, NY Statue of Liberty - Las VegasI’ve been in Las Vegas for the Parallel’s convention over the last few days. Since I’ve been lugging my huge camera around taking pictures quite a few folks asked me to share them so they could take them home as well! So here you all go!

These photos were captured on a Canon 5D Mark II using either a Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens, a Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens, or a Lensbaby loaned to me by Cali Lewis.

Review: Courtyard Marriott Springfield, VA

May 29, 2007

After staying at a number of hotels in Springfield, Virginia I can safely state that the Springfield Courtyard Marriott is the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at in the city. As a result, it is the one I’ve chosen to spend at least the next 8 weeks in as my home away from home. It is [...]

Travel Planning to Kona, Hawaii- A Tutorial

May 26, 2007

My wife and I were planning on accompanying my brother and soon to be sister-in-law to the Big Island of Hawaii in June, and as a result I did quite a bit of planning for the trip. Being cost efficient is important to all of us, but making sure we end up with decent accommodations [...]

Review: Marriott Residence Inn Tyson’s Corner, VA

May 22, 2007

I quite enjoyed the stay at the Marriott Residence Inn in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia on May 14, 2007 even though I was only there for one night, mainly because it was very much like having a home away from home. This hotel is actually more of an apartment. In fact, if they ever wanted to [...]

Review: Days Inn & Suites Laurel Maryland

May 22, 2007

I only have one thing to say about Laurel Maryland’s hotel situation. You don’t want to stay here if you have any other options. Go up the road to Columbia or over towards Baltimore, but avoid Laurel. Why is that? Because the Days Inn & Suites is among the “nicest” places to stay in this [...]

Review: Hampton Inn Springfield, VA

May 21, 2007

I stayed at the Springfield, Virginia Hampton Inn on May 7, 2007 and the two best things about the hotel are: It is relatively inexpensive. It is located right beside the mall and restaurants. All in all, I will stay here again, though there were a few details that could use improvement.

This is the first in a series of several Washington D.C. area hotel reviews. I’m doing a few weeks worth of consulting in the area at the request of a friend, and finding a place to stay has been a challenge, so I’ve had to stay at a different hotel almost every night so far. [...]

Review: Four Points by Sheraton Denver Southeast

August 2, 2006

I stayed at the Four Points Sheraton for one night (redeeming my Starwood points) and overall, I would stay here again. The hotel was in a good location for branching out into different parts of the Denver area and it was reasonably priced (without points redemption), clean and quite.

Review: Sheraton Colorado Springs Hotel

August 1, 2006

This will be the first in a series of ongoing hotel reviews to accompany the places I Blog about when I travel. The reviews are, same as everything on OneMansBlog.com, purely subjective and as such are not open to contestation. I am the king, dictator, and master of this domain. However, if you have something [...]
