Titus Villa - Caesars Palace

The Caesars Anthology Collection makes it possible to sample the life of luxury typically reserved for the rich and famous. These suites are among the finest in the city and start at $25,000 per night. They include VIP check in, airport transportation and butler service. We were fortunate to spend one night in the 11,200 square foot Titus Villa. An English garden theme is carried throughout much of the villa, although it also has many Asian influences. There are three luxurious bedrooms, four bathrooms equipped with steam showers and bidets, dining room with mural (butler's quarters), billiard room, media room with silk adorned walls and a 103" 3-D TV. As if that's not enough, you can also relax in the private outdoor garden complete with spa and firepit.

This was too good to be true. We couldn't keep it to ourselves; we had to share the experience with our family and friends. We invited everyone to come during the football game. This was one of the greatest photo opportunities of my life, and would you believe, I forgot my camera? I absolutely did. Thankfully, Amy brought it to me when she came with the kids. By then, Frank and I had taken advantage of room service and had sandwiches in the media room, so excuse the mess. By the way, the massage chairs are heavenly. The tubs were larger than any I've seen before, which should have been great, but they were tricky to get in and out of... #mansionproblems. The shower in the master, though, was divine. It seriously had me considering converting one of the extra rooms in our house to recreate it. This staycation was simply incredible. Exploring every nook and cranny of the villa was the most fun.

Everything is Awesome

You probably already know that I have a deep love for Dirty Heads. I've seen them live more than any other band. This summer, they're touring with Slightly Stoopid. Last Friday, they performed in Vegas at the Cosmopolitan. I like the venue, but it gets really hot on the pool deck. I practically passed out at Slightly Stoopid two years ago from the heat and humidity. Oh, and the bathroom situation is the pits and drinks are pretty pricey. So, I had a different plan this year. I booked a room at the Cosmo in advance and requested a terrace suite overlooking the Boulevard Pool. I was able to secure a decent rate with a local's discount. They couldn't guarantee the room so it was a bit of a gamble.

The day of the show, I sent Frank to check in early. I figured the rooms were assigned first come, first served and I wanted to secure the view. Upon check-in they still couldn't confirm the room. Instead, they offered an upgrade to the Corner One Bedroom Suite for $200 more plus tax. He took it. It was, by far, the better option. The room typically rents for more than double what we paid.





























The room was fantastic. Two large balconies offer stellar views from the 23rd floor. The accommodations are modern and comfortable. There is a guest bathroom with shower and the en suite bath is impressive with a deep soaking tub and extra large shower. Smoking is allowed on the terrace, Frank was happy to enjoy cigars out there.

I stocked up with beverages at Lee's. I brought ziploc gallon storage bags to store ice. It worked out beautifully. The room has a fridge and freezer drawers. There was no trouble keeping drinks cool.

We invited friend's to join us, ten of us total. I brought Cards Against Humanity to occupy our time before the show began. Once the sun set, you could hear Dirty Heads' sound check. We watched the crowds fill the venue and then it was show time... it was perfect. I'm totally spoiled by the suite experience.













Frank and I spent the night in the suite and had room service for breakfast. We ordered an omelet and pancakes. Tasty eats and good portion size. Overpriced, of course, but that's room service for you.

Other than Britney staring at me all night - at least, it wasn't Gordon Ramsay - it was an excellent stay.
