You are so right! I have never been to LA I have only been to San Francisco on a school trip back in 2008. For some reason, I never got to LA. It is really a shame as I know at points in time, LA and Hollywood were very nice cities. With the exceptions of going to her hotel, her appointment, and briefly, the Century City Mall, my Mother was basically afraid to be outside even in Beverly Hills as she felt the homelessness may have been even worse than NYC.

I did read your TR of Vegas a little bit and hopefully, I will get to read it more, but I especially loved your NYC TR, which hit home from me since I used to be from the New York area. I definitely understand about not being able to make it all the way up to the North Strip, as although it is only a few miles long for the main drag, it still is lengthy thanks to how massive the resorts are! The South Strip is very nice but except for the MGM Grand to see David Copperfield, I mainly hung out on the North and Center Strip. Perhaps I will have to check it out more on another visit. Cannot wait to check out more of your TRs wakesetter93

You're very welcome JAXPax ! Very nice I think you could not go wrong with the Conrad. I know the feeling of ladies being a bit picky of hotels but hopefully, my review of the room, coming up shortly, will help you in your decision . Cannot wait for you, Laura, and Rachael to go to Vegas!
