The Carriage House Hotel In Las Vegas Is A Good Place For People With Kids
Carriage House HotelNeighborhood: The StripLas Vegas, NV89109United States of America
If you find yourself traveling to Las Vegas with your kids, it can be a challenge to find a nice, wholesome hotel at a reasonable price. The Carriage House hotel offers rooms with full kitchens at an affordable price, smoke-free rooms (and actually, smoke-free floors) and a convenient location.
Full Kitchens Allow People with Kids to Prepare Their Own Food
Eating out with the kids for every meal can turn pretty expensive. If you have a kitchen, you can cook some of your meals and store quick foods for breakfast and snacks.
In May 2011, my family stayed in the Carriage House hotel, and I was very pleased with the kitchen facilities. The kitchen had a four-burner stove, a sink with two compartments, a full-size refrigerator (complete with freezer, ) a microwave, toaster, and a dishwasher. They all functioned just fine (a condition I learned not to take for granted when a Chicago hotel's refrigerator was about as warm as the room.)
In addition, the kitchen was furnished with silverware, a sharp knife, a spatula, hot pad, pots and pans, baking dishes, dishwashing soap and other things you would need for cooking and cleaning up.
The hotel did not provide a can opener or plastic containers for storing cooked food, and I was glad that I had brought my own.
Our family would eat cereal with milk or toaster waffles in the morning . Then we would go out and explore the town and take along peanut butter sandwiches, chips and fruit - kid-friendly foods - to eat wherever we happened to be at lunchtime. If we were back at the hotel by dinnertime, we would cook there. We were also able to keep things like ice cream sandwiches for snacks.
Getting Groceries To Feed the Kids
My family rented a car, and we were able to go to a nice Vons supermarket that had all the food I needed. The hotel desk staff told me that it's also possible to take a bus a couple of miles to the Whole Foods Market. They also had a "groceries to-go" service whereby guests can order groceries delivered to their rooms.
Smoke-Free Rooms For the Kids
If you have kids, it's likely that you will want to reduce their exposure to smoke, and there is plenty of smoke everywhere in Las Vegas. After years and years of smoke-filled gambling sessions, the casinos seep it from every pore. And when you're staying in a hotel with a casino, it's really hard to get the kids anywhere without wending your way through the rows and rows of gambling machines and smoke-filled passageways. That's why it was so nice to stay at the Carriage House and its smoke-free spaces. The room we rented was smoke-free, and the whole floor was smoke-free, so our kid didn't have to pass by any smoky rooms on the way to the elevator.
Additionally, your kids will not have to pass by any one arm bandits or poker machines on your way out the door. The Carriage House has somehow resisted the urge to place a few slot machines in the lobby.
Reasonable Price For a Family with Kids
Our family visited in May 2011, and we were happy with the rates. They give an AARP discount, and we were able to get our rooms for under $90 a night for two adults and a kid. We had a room with a king size bed, a living room area with a foldaway bed for the kids, a bathroom and a kitchen. Our family has three members, but you could easily sleep four if you put the parents in the king bed, and two kids on the foldaway. Since we went right before Memorial Day, I imagine the room rates were cheaper than they would have been during the tourist high season.
Location
The Carriage House hotel is located one block off the strip between the MGM Grand and Planet Hollywood. That one block is very long; it's almost half a mile to the strip, but we found that we could enter the side door of Planet Hollywood and walks through their air-conditioned "Miracle Mile" of shops and emerge out the front door right on the strip, and close to the bus stop as well.
We thought that we were on the nicest part of the strip, close to the Bellagio. The Bellagio's fountains perform a free show, a sort of water ballet choreographed to music, which is one of the kids'favorite attractions. It's well worth going into the main entrance to see the "Fiori di Como, " a chandelier consisting of 2000 hand-blown colorful glass blossoms by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly.
We also discovered that we could enter the back door of the MGM Grand and walks to the air-conditioning out through the front door to access the southern part of the strip. While walking through, be sure to have the kids take a look at the lion habitat, which has trainers who play with the lions to keep them active.
The Carriage House is also within walking distance of the kids' haven M&M's World, a four-story shop dedicated to all things M&M. You can find just about everything that can be stamped with an M&M logo, including beach towels, T-shirts, pillows, NASCAR hats, etc. In every corner, giant plastic M&M's pose for photo ops with the kids. You can attend a short little kid-friendly 3-D film for free (red and yellow's search for their missing M) and visit a station where you can write your own personalized message on a batch of M&M's.
You can take a longer hike, or take the bus, to the roller coaster at New York New York. It's a bit pricey at $14 a ride, but the kids will love climbing in the yellow taxicab coaster and taking a thrill ride, complete with loops and drops high above the skyscrapers of "New York." If the kids are game for another ride, it only costs seven dollars for any additional rides.
All in all, the Carriage House hotel provides great amenities for families traveling with kids.DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL CONNECTION:The Contributor has no connection to nor was paid by the brand or product described in this content.By Ellen Mackey - Twenty years as a librarian.

Muhammad Ali versus Mike Tyson LIVE !! ! !! !
(Warning) very long, Note that i used ring commentators to describe what would happen if they ever fought.
Read it like you're watching it.
------------------------------------------
Good evening everybody, I'm Jim Lamphly and im here with Larry Merchant and Emmanuel Stewart and we are here live in the MGM grand hotel and casino in Las Vegas Nevada, where tonight, we will see history in the making between two well known, gifted, and talented boxers to settle for the undisputed heavy title championship of the world.
Well Jim, tonight is packed, more than 50,000 people and hardly any room for more, i know this will be a memorable one. What dyou think Emannuel.
Oh yes, great night for boxing, great event to be in, especially after what we saw tonight with the fight between Winky Wright and Floyd Mayweather jr.
Just earlier ago, Floyd Mayweather jr. and Winky Wright had fought an outstanding performance but ending with a controversal draw when judges scored the bout half and half all the same in favor of Winky and Floyd. Now we await for the two real fighters, real punchers, real boxers of the main event, that is, Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali.
Keep in mind everybody, i just want to point out something Jim, that the significance of this fight will determine not only the undisputed heavy title of the world, but also the greatest heavy weight fighter of the world.
That's right. This is the first time in history that we held the heavyweight title vacant and neutral so that both fighters may be considered both underdogs and heres Mike Tysons entry song.
Wow, what a song, such a deep monotone sound.
yup, kinda gives me that memory of the fight between Ali and Foreman when Ali was comin down with that electrofying feel to it just gives you goosebumps behind your neck.
Not to mention the fight between Tyson and Michael Spinks when Tyson walked through the ring
Its almost the same song
yeah
There he is. As we look at Tyson walking trough the ring we can see the crowd tonight with just and eerie feeling, everybody just murmuring, hardly anybody cheering. Tyson's coach Cus D'amato by his side along with Kevin Rooney arriving with a serious glance on there faces as they walk towards the corner of the ring.
And we can see here Mike Tyson, no robe one, no socks, just ready and waiting for the Muhammad Ali.
Yes, he has prepared phsically and mentally for this fight.
I donno Larry, you think Tyson must be wearing some kind of special shoes or something cuz without socks he can have serious wounds on his soles I mean this fight is very important to him.
Well, maybe he's just wearing very short socks or something.
Mike on the center of the ring walking back and forth and for the benefit of our viewers, heres the tale of the tape. Mike Tyson, 22 years old in prime condition. He weighed in this evening at 221 pounds. Reach from armpit to the end of the fist is 71 inches. His height of course is 5 foot 11 inches.
He is undefeated with 36 straight wins after that fight with frank bruno. He won Michael Spinks by knock out in round one. Unified his title three times by beating trevor berbick, James bonecrusher Smith, and Tony Tucker. All three belts have been declared vacant for the courtesy of this fight, And Here Comes ALI!
Wow, is that Joe Frazier and George Foreman behind him?
Yes, it is.
I can't believe it, who thought that it could begin like this.
No one, thats for sure.
Again, Muhammad Ali, considered by many boxing fans as the greatest fighter, walks somewhat extravagantly, poised with determination and courage.
He looks very determined today Jim.
Doesn't he always?
Yeah, Hahha i guess you can say that. He so much heart.
There's Angelo Dundee wearing the button shirt, and Drew Brown with the long sleeves, both by Muhammads side.
Foreman and Frazier, looking very dressed up this evening, having a little discusion with Ali, not sure what they're saying.
Look at Mike Tyson, just starring at Ali from across the ring. What a glazed serious look he has. That ring is packed with security across the middle.
Ali stepping on the stairs now and on to the canvas, begins to box dancing on the corner of the ring and heres the tale of the tape. 33 year old Muhammad Ali is 215 pounds and 6 foot 3 inches tall, and has a very worthy reach of 83 inches.
Muhammad Ali with 46 victories. Heres some of the highlights, winning Joe Frazier twice after losing to him back in 1971. Knocked out George Foreman to regain his title. TKO'd Archie Moore and defeated Floyd Patterson twice by KO. Beat Sonny Liston twice, second one was by one round knockout. After winning Frazier the second time, his title became vacant due to the courtesy of this fight.
Rules of the bout today givin by Harold Letterman.
Alright Jim, there are no 3 knock down rule. Only the referee can stop the fight. And if a fighter has been knocked down, he cannot be saved by the bell, including the 12th and final round, Jim...
Thank you for that Harold and now lets wait for the introductions hosted by Michael Buffer to announce the start of the bout.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to, the MGM grand hotel and casino in Las Vegas Nevada where tonight, a scheduled 12 round bout will determine the Greatest Heavyweight Champion of the World. Brought to you by associations of Don King productions, WBC and IBF sponsors, Budweiser, UNLV ticket complementation, World Boxing Association, and HBO pay per view sports. Judges for the bout today are Frank Cappuccino, Mills Lane, and Carlos Padilla. And the person in charge of the fight this evening, ladies and gentlemen please give a warm welcome to referee Rocky Marciano!"
(cheering)
Pretty loud in here now huh Emannuel.
I can tell Rocky had made a lot more fans than both of them here tonight.
"Let us all rise for the national anthem presented by former American Idol, Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Kelly Clarkson"
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight'
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!!!
And now....
For the thousands in the Arena...
And the Billions watching...
Ladies and Gentlemen...
LETS GET READY TO RRRRRRRUUUMBBBLE !!!!!!!!!!
"Introducing first to my right, wearing the solid black trunks, official record, 36 undefeated victories including 32 knock outs, no draws no defeats. He is the three time Heavyweight Champion of the world, IRON MIKE, TYYYYYYYYYYSOOOOONNN !"
"And in the blue corner, wearing the white trunks with black trim, official record, 46 victories including 33 knock outs and only 2 defeats. He is the 2 time Heavy Weight Champion of the world, the Greatest, Muhammaaaaaaaaaaaaaad ALIIIIIII !"
Here they come both at the center of the ring with referee Marciano.
"Alright guys, I want a good, I repeat, a good clean fight"
"you know you not the greatest"
"I ask to protect yourselves at all times"
"you cant out box me, I can take you on all night long"
"yeah, yeah, will see if you can back your words up"
"I tell you, I'm the champ around here"
"They'll be no head butting, no thumbing.."
"you know you not that champ yet until..."
"Muhammad, please be quiet, im trying to give you the rules here"
"until you fight me ya big sissy"
"oh im so scared"
"you better be"
"I'll eat your children"
"Say that again"
"Okay, the both of you! Listen up or I'll disqualify the next person that speaks up. Okay, in the event of a knock down, i want the fighter standing up to go to the farthiest corner of the ring."
"Come on Mike, Say that again"
"or what? huh, whatcha gonna do"
"Alright, now touch gloves and come out boxing."
wow
yup, you can say that again, Jim.
hahaa that was quite amusing and entertaning
yup i donno when the last time i seen fighters talk among each other.
probally from the Ali, Frazier Fight.
Yeah
Here we are ready and waiting for the sound of the bell for round 1.
hmmm
crowd cheering
Ali turns around and puts his hands down
DING !
Here we go! Round 1
Ali throws the first punch with a combination.
Mike Tyson weary, not really wanting to go explode yet.
Oh, what a shot by Tyson and Ali gets a shot at Mikes chest.
This is very rare, you seldom see Ali aim for the body.
More then seldom, you never see Ali aim for the body oh a solid uppercut slightly landed by Tyson.
Ali not quite having his rhythm just yet.
Hes doing good job jabing though, well not as good as when he dances, obviously hes not dancing just yet.
A litte jab by Ali flinches Tysons head back.
"Alright, break it up! Let go, let go, stop. I said break. Okay now box"
referee Marciano having a bit of struggle there breaking the two champions
Look at Tyson just going after the body, giving those fast little hooks.
You know Larry, Tyson does have fast hands, when comes to the body.
Right, Tyson's short hands have an advantage of speed depending on...
OH what a shot by Tyson with a left uppercut. That gotta hurt Ali.
"Break!"
Not really, Ali didn't get all the angles on that left
heres Ali with a payback of solid jabs left and right Tyson cant seem to get that right uppercut with a left hook follow, crowd cheering now as Ali throws
Ali speed to me is more faster than Tyson at this point.
OH MY GOSH! what a devasting left hookAND HE's DOWN. Down goes ALI!
CROWD yelling and screaming I CANT really HEar MARCIANOS COUNT!
"three, four, five, six...."
Is gonna make it?
"eight.."
He's up, He's UP!
What a shot, oh o, here comes TYSON again, gonna finish the job!
Ali still jabbing at him, it looks as though...
OH MAN! OH GEEZ! Another oh man ALI is Down AGAIN!
"one, two, three! Four ! FIVE!"
Thats was an uppercut this time
"seven, eight, are you okay ?"
Here's Tyson comin over and
DING!
"HO! !OOKAY STOP"
Here we go as we take the camera to Ali's corner
What dyou think of the first round Emannuel
Well like i said, Ali didn't seem to be stunned there
what do you mean, he was floored two times already
yeah but
Well it is only the first round i mean
Jim, Jim, come on, look Ali didnt get stunned when he went down
well, see he got floored but when he came back up he was filled with energy
yeah but
see but most Tyson opponents seem to have givin up at that point but not Ali
No, NO, Not Ali, look he's still has the heart and determination, even more so after that round
prescisly
"Okay, champ. Now what happened, there? You got knocked down. SO what? That doesn't mean squat, you can go get him up with a couple hard striaight rights on the head, okay, ON the HEAD. where's the towel, give him some water"
so you mean to say he just lost balance on the knocked downs
yeah, well it seems
what about the second one, how can you judge that, i mean that was a clean right uppercut
that doesn't really tell a fighter has lost mentally, you only see it outside but inside, i know ALi has the heart to out box Tyson
"Alright, you get out there and this time aim for his face, don't let him get you like he did that time, okay? Go get em champ go."
DING !
Well, we've just saw Muhammad ALi go down twice the first round now we're in the 7th.
Ali seems to be not as physical on this fight
no not at all, in fact he seems to be blockin and countering more with that one two punch and here comes Tyson again devastating with that left hook slightly blocked in the head
Again, Ali has been down before this fight, by Joe Frazier, but he only lost to a descion
right, i guess because it was during the end of the fight at the 12th but here you see ALi, Unbelievably surviving the travails of the 1st round oh what shot by Ali giving Tyson a piece of his own medicine
man if he keeps this up it will be the comeback of a lifetime
yep
DING !
I had to give that round to ALI
Yes, for the first time i think the judges will score that round for ALI
Well, Harold, by the looks of this, after losing all 6 rounds, how did you score it
Okay, Jim, 6 rounds to 1, 69, 61, Mike Tyson, Jim I gotta tell you something, from the first 6 rounds Tyson was dominating Ali and what seemed like Ali's worst torcher since the broken jaw of the Ken Norton fight and Frazier knock down, Ali finally came back with a vengance at that 7th. Oh man, who would ever thought a fighter would come back after that brutal first round. Still has a long way to go jim. 69, 61, Mike Tyson.
DING !
Okay heres round 8, you saw Harold Letterman's scorecards and it seems that Muhammad Ali needs 8 more rounds to tie the score and its obvious that Ali needs a knock down to win this fight because the fight is up to 12 rounds not 16.
Jim, I gotta point out something. Everytime ALi does that rope-a-dope thing like he did at the first few rounds, he loses the score cards, now we are in the 8th round and its obvious that he no longer needs the judges to decide who wins the fight because he is still doing the rope-a-dope a little bit here in this round.
I'm glad you mentioned that Larry, he is losing the rounds because he is giving Tyson opportunity to score heavly on the face and body. what dyou think Emannuel?
Well, Tyson is doing more jabs this round than every other round i seen so far, it may be due to the fact that Tyson is alittle bit tired of throwing those hard heavy punches
Nice right hook by Ali as he begins to dance for the first time in this round.
DING !
"Alright champ, 4 more rounds to go, 9, 10, 11, 12. Do we have to go to tweleve? no. we stop him at his tracks. Go for the double left jab on him and.."
Here we go to Tyson's corner where it seems that Tyson has a little puffyness on his right eye.
"Okay Mike, I wanna see those body shots in an angle okay? Your doing well on the jabs but keep inside, I don't want you fighting him outside, go closer okay? Listen, Ali's tired he aint do shiet to you alright. deep breath"
DING!
Here's round 9, and Ali is dancing right now. You heard trainer Kevin Rooney say that Ali is tired. Is that why his dancing? what dyou think Larry?
No, I think Ali has just begun
hahahaha you right Larry he looks as though he has taken conrol of the fight so far
yes he has, and it seems, that if he keeps his cool, he may be able to OHHH WOW right HAND by Tyson, ALI staggering!
He's alright
It looks as though there is a cut on Ali's left eye, there is
And its bleeding bad, real bad
Now Tyson, looking more encourage now backs up Ali and try to get that eye
"ALRIGHT TIME!"
referree Marciano calls time due to Ali's severe bleeding
crowd boooing at this point, doctor comin to check the wound
"yeah, yeah, just on the left. Okay he's fine"
"Alright, time in!"
oh man, this is bad, that cut on Ali is bothering him
yep what a cut, looks as though Ali is getting a bit tired again
I guess Kevin Rooney was right
naw, with the look at Ali's face i think he still can go on throughout this whole fight
DING!
Angelo Dundee coming to look at the cut, using vaseline trying to coagulate the bleeding.
"your okay, that's nothing, that's nothing. Give em some water, okay champ, look now, I want you to go around his left, dont lean back anymore, I want you go forward, this is the 10th round, I want you to back this guy up, this the championship rounds okay son. alright more vaseline."
DING!
Here's the bell for 10th and that cut is so bad but it seems to have stop bleeding.
Like I said Jim, don't judge a book by its cover, you cant tell how the story is gonna end by looking at the front part of the book.
your right, look at Ali giving those one two combinations on the head
Tyson looking awfly hesistant as hes gives Ali two hooks across his head
He's bleeding again, that cut some open at one point, OH MAN! OH WHAT A SHOT BY ALI, and Tyson is momentarly stunned there, dyou see that Emannuel?
Yup, I told you, dont judge a book, look this, ALi just givin it to em.
he's still dancing, but now hes dancing closer
yea hahaha that doesn't sound right
haha look at Ali with that nice uppercut, its one of the few uppercuts we seen in this fight
DING!
And Tyson looks tired.
Yup, i think Ali won that also
definetly
Even though doesnt really matter, hes far from close on the score cards
Don't worry I dont think the Judges would have to judge this fight at the end
predicts ay Larry?
yup, I think Ali's readdy
DING !
11th! we are at 11th round
wow, ALi with 1, 2 ,3, 4 hit combination, all landing, all solid, its just popping Tyson's head back.
oh man, i can't believe after the 2 knock downs at the first and 6 brutal rounds, Ali starts doing this to Tyson
yup, what a fight
very good fight indeed
Tyson misses with that vicicous right uppercut that he used to knock out Ali the last time
Ali hammering away left right, left right, he can't miss
That left and right eye of Tyson is really begginning to puff up
exactly, now we can hardly tell if hes look left or right anymore
DING!
AND the crowd goes wild after the 11th
Oh my heart is pumping you guys
mine too, this crazy, this turining out to be a very good fight
now we go to Tyson's corner where coach Kevin Rooney trys to heel that puffy eye
"Okay Mike, MIKE, Listen to me, Mike, Okay son, Last round, okay, LAST ROUND, I want you to beat him down with the left hook from hell that Frazier did to him okay. MIke look at me, he's going down okay, just breath, take a deep breath. Relax okay relax, deep breath"
He looks exhausted there. what a fight. How often do you see a guy that has been knocked down twice, losing mostly every round give Mike Tyson such a hard time at this point.
Never
yup, And Tyson is undefeated, and has never, I repeat, Never been floored or even close to a point to get knocked down.
CROWD RISES
Michael buffer
"LAdies and GentlemEN, we are at, the 12th and FINAL ROUND!"
Crown cheering loudly than ever before this fight
DING!!!
and heres ROUND 12
Wow, what a shot by Ali that backs Tyson up all the way to the ropes.
Ali is still bleeding hard on that eye, he is half blind at this point
Tyson again with that left hook he's been looking for and missing
OH MY GOODNESS!!!
What a flurry of COMbinations!
And TYSON IS STAGGERRING AGAIN!
Tyson landing a hard right uppercut on the side and Ali just keeps Hammering

TYson just can't hit him anymore, he KEEPS missing! AND wow Ali keeps popping him back and forth, left and right, over and over.
Tyson moving around more
You know Jim I don't think Tyson got really hurt at that knock down either, well to my view

"IM KING OF THE WORLD!!! I AM THE GREATEST!"
"YOU GUYS THOUGHT I LOST, ever since the 1st round you think im gonna go and feel sorry for myself. NOWAY! I am the Greatest, those punches he throws has so much power and yet lacks the spirit that I have when I throw my punches. I just proved you all today, that even if you lost twice, even if you slightly underdog, even if Mr. Mike Tyson destroyed many of his oppponents in round 1, that I can still get up from that round 1, and knock him down in round 12, now tell yourselves, i wont go down that easily, cuz i smoke like butterfly and sting like a queeeen bee!"
"WOw, you have a lot to say Muhammad"
"I AM THE GREATEST!"
"Muhammad, Muhammad, dyou think there'll be a rematch"
"Anytime, Anywhere, ANYBODY, IM KING OF THE WORLD< I AM THE GREASTEST !!"
"THANK YOU FOR THAT MUHAMMAD"
"okay, Mike, Tells us how you feel"
"Oh, he got me with some good shots at the end, namsayin', ebe time i comes he goes, waling back and forth, i would have got at the 1st if it hadn't been for Rocky slow count, Id be on my limo cruisin by now, ya know im sayin, thats just ludacris, you can't possilbe believe that its fair to come back like this naw, man, he just lucky, lucky shots, lucky everything, he aint no champ. hez a chump to me, I would have im on round 12 too."
"Do you think, if ever there is a rematch, would you beat him?"
"of course, Not only I will beat him, I would, destroy him from ever boxing again"
"THANK YOU"
"and thank you all the people that witnessed this show. There comes a time, when champions and other champions, know that no matter how tough a situation is, you gotta see it to believe it, and we saw it, all in the MGM grand and in your living room or TV. This has been the most Historic matches of the 21st century. This is going to be both fight of the year, and upset of the year in ring magazine. Again, Im Jim Lamphly, wih Larry Merchant and Emannuel Stewart, sayin so long, and have a great evening..."
(just my opinion of how that fight would be, hope its not too long, lol)
THIS HAS BEEN A PRESTATION OF HBO SPORTS
