Thank you so much for this!!

As far as hotels, my boyfriend and I have some pretty high standards. I'm a germaphobe and when he goes on vacation, he wants a vacation. We want to improve our credit and get rewards, so we applied for American Express. It's been working great!! We put literally everything on the AmEx's and pay it back. So basically we're spending money we already have. Rack up the points, get tons of perks, helps credit scores, and since we don't splurge or treat it as "we dont have the money for this so we'll pay it back later" it works perfectly. Basically, we don't use it as a credit card, more like a bank card.

The points we get...since we got it last year and we only pay with it and pay it to a $0 balance every month, we earned enough points (so far) for one first class round trip ticket for Japan. So....quite a bit. I recently got a $200 sweater...for $18 with points, and earned points because you get a certain amount for spending it at this or that place. Got about 1000 points, and a $200 for $18. HA!!

Anyway, I say all that because we've earned enough already for either 1 first class to Japan, or something like a week in a 5 star hotel. Idk but we'll be going for pretty cheap.

I like:
a) a quirky B&B, ideally one on the coast, with hot tubs and organic food (Lost Whale Inn, Trinidad CA for example)
or
b) a NICE hotel, with amenities

Can't always afford either!

If you have plenty of money for a hotel, there are some VERY high end spots in Las Vegas, like the Venetian or Bellagio.

Cheap rooms but LOTS to do (inside) - Circus Circus.

Definitely! It's 110% worth it!! Just get two, same account, and pay for literally everything with it just like you would with a bank card.

And thank you, but I can't take credit for it (no pun intended). It was the boyfriend's idea

My favorite hotels were Bellagio and Caesar's Palace. Just walking through them there is a lot to see.
