What Happens in Vegas.....

With summer right around the corner, the topic of conversation with my friends inevitably turns to planning a vacation. Once I plan to a trip, I make sure to travel light as I want no hassles at the airport. But, where to go? Where can I get the most for my buck? Where can I see pop music stars like Cher, Barry Manilow, and even KC & the Sunshine Band. Where can I get my game on and challenge my luck in order to win cash and prizes? The answer, my friends, is Las Vegas, of course! My close compadres will be mesmerized by the bright city lights and the allure of the expansive Las Vegas Strip. Perhaps, a trip to Sin City and a stay at Bluegreen's deluxe resort Club 36 is in order! We will definitely relish the chance to see and be seen at all of the renowned Las Vegas hotspots.

Lady Gaga / Beyonce Telephone Movie

Ok, so Lady Gaga and Beyonce did not make a movie. But, you have to check out their new "Telephone" video. My friends and I took a gander last night, and we all agreed that it's pretty amazing. The nine minute masterpiece plays like a action-packed movie, complete with the over-the-top theatrics that we've come to expect from the pop powerhouse, Lady Gaga.

Chock full of product placement, the video serves as a walking advertisement for Lady Gag's own Heartbeats headphones, HP Envy Laptop, Miracle Whip, Diet Coke and Virgin Mobile, just to name a few. Seriously check out the video. It's crazy good.

My friends and I were talking about going to see Lady Gaga in concert. I missed her concert here in January. She's currently on tour overseas, but there's buzz that she'll be coming back to perform in the States soon. We may just do a weekend getaway and book a stay at one of Bluegreen's awesome resorts. I definitely want to check out some that I haven't been to, like Bluegreen Club 36 in Vegas and
Club La Pension in New Orleans.

10 Billion Strong and Growing!

The world of downloadable music has reached a milestone. Apple's iTunes has sold 10 Billion Tracks. Link to that site for a list of the all-time downloaded songs. Black Eyed Peas currently own the top spot with "I Gotta Feeling." I admit, I have that song, and boy, that was big last year. I remember adding it to every Music mix I would make for parties during the spring. I got sick of it, and lately I've been having a change of heart, adding it back to my workout "Power mix."

My music collection of 660 songs on my iPod is paltry compared to the rest of my generation. I remember my first year in college when I downloaded 100 songs from Napster, back when it was free. Gosh, so much time has passed and so many technological advances have surfaced. Obviously, Apple was light years ahead and fostered a keen ability to develop the next big thing.

Speaking of being in tune with what people want, Bluegreen always seems to be ahead of the curve. Whether it's building great resorts from the ground up in Orlando and Las Vegas, or annexing existing resorts in prime locations like New Orleans and Phoenix, Bluegreen remains at the forefront of the vacation industry.

And, this is just the beginning, which is the coolest part....
