From Bourbon Street To Freemont Street

My latest travel adventure took me from the wild streets of New Orleans to the bright lights of Las Vegas, and it was a whirlwind of work, play, and everything in between. This journey was not just about visiting two iconic cities; But a note to self that you should play as hard as you work. I kicked off my trip in New Orleans, where I had the privilege of working as a personal assistant to one of my six-figure CEO clients. In my masterclass, I teach how to attract six-figure clients, and this trip was a perfect example of how you can still enjoy yourself while meeting the demands of high-powered business owner while having fun. After the work was done, I made my way to the famous Bourbon Street. Bourbon Street was lined with people dancing, having fun, and sipping on frozen daiquiris. The street was alive with music, laughter, and the kind of vibrant atmosphere that New Orleans is known for.

When it comes to packing for two trips in one, Southwest Airlines is my go-to travel partner. Their open seating plan offers flexibility, but the real game-changer is their generous baggage policy. With Southwest, you get two checked bags, a carry-on item, and a personal item—perfect for when you need to pack for multiple destinations. Using two large suitcases to organize and separate my clothes and essentials by trip allowed me to separate my outfits, accessories, and essentials into different suitcases, making it easy to transition from the busy streets of New Orleans to the bright lights of Las Vegas.

One of the best ways to stay fresh and ready during back-to-back trips is by booking a hotel with laundry facilities. I always pack travel-sized laundry detergent and fabric softener, so I can wash my clothes between trips. Doing laundry at the end of each trip means I come home with clean clothes, ready to be packed away for the next adventure. This is a game-changer for frequent travelers like me who want to keep their travel items organized and ready to go.

After my weekend in New Orleans, I flew straight to Las Vegas without stopping home. Las Vegas was the second wing to my trip, and it didn’t disappoint. Las Vegas was full of highlights, but the Bellagio stood out as an experience I’ll never forget. The Bellagio’s Botanical Garden and Conservatory was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes.

I was completely swept away by the "Higher Love" exhibit. Picture colorful hot-air balloons floating through the air, surrounded by vibrant florals—it was like stepping into a romantic dream. The whole display, inspired by European nostalgia and timeless love, really hit home for me. As a hopeless romantic who's always daydreaming about my wedding and the idea of love, this exhibit had me in tears. I could feel every bit of love and beauty they were trying to capture. If you’re anything like me, you’ll absolutely love it. I highly recommend checking it out before it ends on September 7th. I’ve been to Vegas countless times, and I’ve literally never been to the Bellagio. The beauty of the Bellagio alone made me want to book my next stay in Vegas as a guest in the Bellagio suites.

The real fun and real winnings in Vegas are in Old Vegas. Once you leave the strip and travel out to old Vegas it’s a completely different vibe. Freemont streets sits under a dome like structure covered with images projected and people ziplining above you. There are still hotels and bars on the streets and of course the casinos. A little-known secret is that everyone knows those slots pay out more in old Vegas.  Ans I was able to witness people hitting jackpots on their slot machines.
 
During this particular trip to Vegas, we rented a car, and we drove out to Bulgogi’s Gourmet hotdogs per the recommendation of Tik Tok food Vlogger Keith Lee.  We were greeted very warmly by the cashier who took out order and sat our party of 10 in this local restaurant. I went into this knowing the glowing reviews they had received but nothing could have prepared us for the delicious goodness that was Buldogi’s. my Group tried several of the breakfast sandwiches from their egg drop menu. I personally tried their Korean fried chicken sandwich the chicken was juicy fresh perfectly breaded and sauced. Their home made Korean slaw made the sandwich so refreshing and delicious.
 
The food was so great we came back the next day for round two where I tried a bulgogi hot dog…. The all-beef hot dog topped with tender juicy marinated beef bulgogi hit the spot. I kept telling my waiter “I can’t believe y’all made this” so if you’re ever in Vegas and you want to get away from all the Hussle and bustle and try a local favorite I highly recommend Buldogi’s. the service was exceptional. The team was very attentive and interactive and the food was 10/10 my family kept saying they had never tasted anything like this it wasn’t mass produced, it was made with love and made to order.
 
While in Vegas I was able to visit my local Keller Willams Office. I find myself truly blessed to use my travel benefits to travel all over the world selling Real Estate connecting with my referral partners and helping my Real Estate clients relocate all across the globe. I always wondered how I could tie in being a travel agent and realtor, but it all works together.
 
I found myself just sitting back and taking it all in. I don’t take for granted how I get to travel and sell Real Estate as my lifestyle. This truly makes me happy. This is truly what I want to do.
