  Last year I started keeping track of the prizes I won. You can read that post here  2024 Contest Prize Wins . It is a great post to have for memories so I’m going to start a new post for 2025. I received the first prize of 2025. It took a little to get it because my friend picked it up for me. This was a prize pack from Ottawabloggers and Tiffinit. I thought the prize was just going to be spices as that is all the contest indicated. I got a basket with spices, some cookies that are likely not vegan, 2 toques and some other knickknacks that will be given to my non vegan friend. The spices smell really good and they are vegan. I don’t know what the value of this basket is so I’m going to estimate $50. value of prize $50 Total value of prizes 2025 $50 Thank you for reading.

The linq hotel Vegas

My next few posts will be about my most recent Vegas trip which was a few weeks ago. I have been to Vegas many times and I now prefer staying off the strip at South Point. This time I went with a 21 year old so decided to stay on in the center of strip so she could have her full legal Vegas experience. As we were on a budget I was able to get us a rate of $28 per night through my total rewards account for the Linq hotel  plus $25 resort fee that most Vegas hotel have no. I was hesitant as even the regular price was at $60 per night so low for a mid strip hotel and the reviews were varied but it is a Ceasar's property and I am never in my room in Vegas so I only care about having a clean bed and shower. As soon I booked i got an e-mail with the confirmation and info about the hotel and follow up e-mails later about online check in. I had written to the hotel to ask about doing something special and the reason of the trip they obviously didn't read what I had sent them but they did respond with menu's of things I could have delivered to the room for my significant other. If they had read what I sent them they would know I wasn't going with a significant other. I was impressed though that I got an answer even if it was standard. We spent very little time in the hotel but it was great. the air quality was great usually Vegas hotels are smoky even the higher end ones this one had a really good filter and no smoke odour.  The location was great with the Linq  stores and restaurants right outside so nice to be in fresh air and caesars palace right across the street. We were able to walk to almost every location on the strip we wanted to go to as we were so central. The room was well designed it felt large felt a lot bigger than what it was. The beds were extremely comfortable. The shower has dispensors for shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Our room was clean but we were missing some things like soap in the dispenser etc. We left a note for housekeeping with the list of things it was long list we didn't expect them to provide everything we asked for but they did. The next day the free bottled water in the room and some other things weren't refilled so left a note to leave us things again and everything was left again. We didn't eat in the hotel but Guy Fieri's restaurant is there and the wake up call was him telling you to get up and go to the restaurant. There is also a cartoon character on the mirror in the room if you look closely its him not sure what kind of investment he has in this hotel. I would recommend this hotel great value for the price.  I suspect now that the construction is complete that the prices and the ratings of the The linq hotel are going to increase in the future.
