Not the most expensive but in terms of overrated, basically the entire Gulf Coast vacation spots. Done them all too many times and they’re not nearly as nice as ocean beach views

Go to the Sarasota area and all the little keys right next to Sarasota (siesta,lido,longboat,Holmes beach, Anna Marie island)

Fort Myers Beach is ok, but nothing like Sarasota area. I didn't care for Clearwater either

London is a complete pigsty. Filthy and ridiculously expensive. Used to love London years ago.

Bishkek is lovely in the fall, truly a delight.

If you do make it there, say "hi" to Mostafios at the Hotel Imperial bar for me. I still have that saltwater aquarium he helped me nursemaid through the big power outage.

East St Louis, Illinois

It's expensive because there's tourist traps everywhere that'll rob you blind.

Love Alsace and glad I went to Colmar. But in return trips I'd do other Alsatian towns and just spend more time in Strasbourg (which was even better than I had hoped).

I will say the Starbucks in Monte Carlo might have the best view of any Starbucks in the world. Right next to "the turn" and the casinos.

Tulum. Don’t go there for the beaches. The jungle side, mainly the cenotes, are crazy cool
though.



I liked Tulum but can definitely understand its not for everyone. The cenotes are awesome. I was there when it seemed like a supermodel convention going on. Unreal gorgeous women on the beach. You have to do your homework for Tulum. There are some great restaurants and bars if you know where to go. Having said all that it is way too expensive for Mexico. From what I gathered Tulum must have been very cool around 10-15 years ago, now it has overgrown itself.

I stayed at the Fairmont right next to that Starbucks, my room balcony looked right down at it. And the casino was just right on the other side. Incredible location. Beautiful people everywhere.

You clearly have never been to Bergeron’s. Get a discount if you wear your sidearm where they can see it. Good food, and the safest place to eat, ever.

Vegas is certainly not for everyone. It's strange in that it seems like 20-30 years ago you could find really good deals all the time.


Our company goes out there for the SHOT Show (largest convention in Vegas...runs concurrent with the porn convention on the other side of the strip.) We go 7am-5pm and then once we get done publishing content, the rest of the evening is free. We stay an extra day so can unwind on the strip Friday night. There's no way I could spend a week there just for what's there 24/7/365. I was shocked by the price of the used stuff. Indian casinos charge $1 for used cards. Caesars was $5.
