This annual pre-season match-up between the Los Angeles Kings and Colorado Avalanche has become a huge event on the hockey calendar even though the game does not even count in the standings. Who can blame the fans when you consider that you can combine a weekend of hockey and a weekend in Vegas!

I'm currently imagining what Dorothy and her ragtag entourage of Oz would think if they wandered into the Vegas version of Emerald City at the legendary MGM Grand Las Vegas. Surely, they would flip their shit at first, but then the Cowardly Lion would get some fab curls at Christophe Salon, Tin Man would shine front row at a Grand Garden Arena concert, Scarecrow would unravel upon seeing the Skylofts, and Dorothy's new and improved red, sparkly stilettos would find a matching couture pop from Sugar Factory, leaving them all sufficiently "wowed."

If you can’t make it, not to worry, there is an impressive lineup throughout April. Watch for announcements in following months for the DJ lineup and events.

If you have not yet experienced Hakkasan Las Vegas you might have a hard time containing your excitement long enough to have a few drinks and a snack before your night begins.

You could get excited about the MGM Grand Resort for so many reasons that it soon becomes apparent to you that it is hard to top this resort for the complete Las Vegas Vacation. At a quick glance you can point to the food choices, the entertainment and the nightlife.

I have a tendency to really go on about places that make me feel special. I just like that when I travel. I like the idea that somebody really appreciates my business enough to treat me with a little more kindness. To be a bit more attentive. To acknowledge that I am a valued customer. You get that The Signature at MGM. You pull up to the front door and someone greets you. The front desk is ready to handle your every request. They seem to care. What a novel idea for a hotel, right?
