Hi Parents,
Ok - my family loves to travel so I plan to start blogging about some of our favorite vacation spots. I would love to hear about your favorite family get-aways too, so I can add them to our list! :-)
Over the Christmas holiday break we drove up to one of our favorite vacation spots - our annual snow-filled holiday get-away to Circus Circus in Reno/Lake Tahoe! Every young kid's dream and not a bad deal for the parents too! :-) My 2 boys are now 7 & 9 and they beg to go to Circus Circus every year and after reading our top 10 list of reasons why we love it so much, I am guessing you will be clicking the link above and making your own reservations today! :-)
1) How many hotels do you know of that have a monorail that takes you from the lobby to your room?
2) How many hotels do you know of that have free circus acts going on around the clock?
3) How many hotels do you know of that have the mega of all ChuckECheese like game area on the main floor where you can fairly easily win stuffed animals larger than your child? - I will share my stuffed animal recycle story with you another time! :-)
4) How many hotels do you know of that have a never-ending buffet restaurant with an endless array of seafood, salads, kid-friendly food, desserts and oh so much more!
5) How many hotels do you know of that have a Krispy Kreme donut store right as the elevator doors open on the first floor and it opens at 6am - (if your kids are early risers like mine - this is the best) - they also carry Starbucks coffee, so we head down in our PJs - ok don't tell anyone - grab a dozen along with that Tall Starbucks and head back up to the room to comfortably enjoy our vacation breakfast before really starting our day!
6) How many hotels do you know of that have a free shuttle bus that will take you to 4 different Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts every day and then bring you back at the end of the day so you don't have to worry about driving on the snow covered roads or if you have a cocktail after a hard day of skiing - no worries - you will be safely chauffeured home!
7) How many hotels do you know of that have endless entertainment within walking distance or a short drive from your hotel? The list at Circus Circus is endless, but some of the highlights are the great shows, concerts, shopping, variety of restuarants, swimming pool coming this year, gambling if that is your preference - all under the same roof. If you don't mind driving a few miles you can check out the University of Nevada Planetarium that is just down the street and it has kid's celestial shows going on all throughout the day. Sometimes we will hang out there and sit through 3 different shows just because they are so amazing and the kids love it! There are also several museums (cool auto museum), laser tag and more very close by.
8) How many hotels do you know of that hand you a 20-page coupon book as soon as you arrive that is good for restaurants and local attractions?
9) How many hotels do you know of that offer suites with whirlpools in them - ok - well at how about at these low prices? How low you ask - read on to reason #10....
10) My favorite reason of all - the Circus Circus room rates can be as low as $39/night - where else can you find a deal like this? Simply awesome for a fun and memorable vacation for the entire family! ok - now I put the link in here again because NOW I am sure you will want to check it out and book your Reno family vacation today! :-)
I look forward to hearing your comments about your favorite family get-aways!
Until next time...

It is really nice to know about your fun family travel plan. One thing that I would like to add here is that the things to look at while figuring out how much to tip is was the driver on time, were they courteous, properly trained and did them know the area well. All of these factors are important to an enjoyable evening for the customer and a good tip for the driver.
