I love to explore and learn about other cultures, and I find great enjoyment in being immersed in a location that’s not my own. I am always on the go and seeking out new destinations. I visit Las Vegas at least three times per year, and generally visit two countries per year. I became a travel advisor to help others see and do more.

I live in Louisville, Kentucky, but I grew up in a beach town, so most of the locations I love to book are surrounded by water and nature. I especially love to book trips to Latin America and Caribbean countries. I am an explorer of the world, and have been to fourteen countries including: Barcelona, Canada, England, France, Netherlands, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas, and the US Virgin Islands or USVI. My experience has allowed me to become an expert in each destination. I have even been to the Bahamas over 10 times by cruise and air. I am passionate about these destinations because I am an avid foodie, and I love their culture and cuisine. I also love that most of these destinations generally have amazing weather year-round!

As a travel advisor, I aspire to help create adventures that provide memorable moments for my clients. I am not satisfied until we craft the destination and itinerary that you can’t wait to embark on. I love helping a wide range of travelers including solo travelers, first-time travelers, millennial travelers seeking active and adventurous experiences, budget-savvy travelers, and those looking for adult-only all-inclusive cruises and resorts.

To better serve my clients, I am continuously participating in destination and supplier educational courses and webinars to stay informed on the industry. I am proud to be a Certified Travel Advisor (CTA) with the Travel Institute and a Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) from the Cruise Line Industry Association or CLIA. 

As an avid traveler myself, I can recommend several places of interest since I have personally visited them. I also have established relationships in the area with suppliers and tour operators. One year for my birthday, I took 8 friends to St Thomas USVI. Many of them have never left the US mainland nor did they know they did not need a passport to visit the island. Some of them also did not know about flexible payment methods available when you work with an advisor. They appreciated knowing someone knowledgeable was planning the trip every step of the way. I was proud to be able to break down some barriers and myths they had about traveling!

I love helping my clients prepare for the unexpected. Once, I had a client purchase travel insurance and optional baggage protection through me for an international trip. Somehow, their luggage was lost along the way. Once informed, I reached out to my supplier, started the claim on behalf of the client and calmed them down, knowing that updates would be received periodically. They were assured that someone else was handling the issue, so it took pressure away from them, and allowed them to spend their time more freely. They appreciated me handling it, and I was happy that I was able to reunite them with their bags, and even took care of coordinating drop-off to the hotel with the airline.

When I’m not traveling or helping clients plan their dream vacations, I love to run and I participate in five 5Ks a year. I also love concerts, festivals, live events, amusement parks and volunteering for several nonprofit organizations in my community.

Las Vegas Travel Expert

<p>Whether you want an adventurous trip, a pampering at the spa, a foodie tour, or just to relax by the pool, Las Vegas has it all. I teach clients that Vegas is not just for the wealthy. You can visit on a budget, or choose to be a baller, the choice is yours. I know the Vegas Strip layout so well, that some say it’s my "second home." That name is fitting, because once I arrive, I feel a sense of familiarity. With my personal experience and wealth of knowledge of the city, I’m the perfect advisor to work with if you are considering taking a trip to Las Vegas.</p>
<p>The Vegas Strip is like an amusement park. Your flight was your entry, and now you get to choose which attractions, fare, and fun things you want to do and see. The city features world class entertainment, cuisine, shopping, gambling, and so much more. Even those who don’t want to gamble can appreciate the abundance of life that the city has to offer. The Vegas Strip is so unique, and it’s really a city within the city. Once you have arrived, there is no need to leave the strip. It’s a special place that’s built for those who want to be active in the day, night, or all day and all night. </p>
<p>I first visited Las Vegas on a work trip in 2008 and visited again on a trip with a friend for leisure in 2012. Both times, I was mesmerized by the lights, sights, and sounds. From then on, I made it a personal goal to visit Vegas as often as I can, sometimes as much as three times a year. Since 2017, I have visited 17 times. I love helping make a trip to Vegas as accessible for my clients, so that they can be return visitors as well. </p>
<p>With artist residencies, festivals, special DJ appearances, and tours, Vegas is a mecca for those who enjoy the music scene. I have seen over 15 shows and concerts in Vegas, and 5 of them were Cirque du Soleil productions. For sports fanatics, the Las Vegas Raiders football team, Vegas Golden Knights hockey team and the Las Vegas Lights FC soccer team keep fans cheering for their favorite team. Vegas has so much to offer that visiting once is not enough. Your return trip is guaranteed to be just as memorable as your first but filled with new adventures. Every time I am there, I learn something new. </p>
<p>When it comes to accommodations, I am loyal to MGM Resorts due to myVEGAS, a mobile app that allows for game play credits that can be redeemed for real life rewards and discounts on rooms, food, shows and more. To date, using myVEGAS alone, I have redeemed 16 comp nights, $240 in free food and 14 free drinks. </p>
<p>I’ve visited the Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, zip-lined on Fremont Street and at the Linq and have experienced all three rides at the top of the Stratosphere. There are so many ways that I can help clients make the most out of their Vegas adventure, from recommendations, to support before and during your trip. Due to my frequent visits, I have come to know some hidden gems in the city and have built a solid reputation with night club promoters.</p>
<p>If you’re ready to plan an amazing trip to Las Vegas that you’ll never forget, contact me today to get started! </p>

Working with Anthony was phenomenal, he was able to put together a trip that was what I needed. Despite the last minute Destination change from the cruise line, working with Anthony was great. He insured that I will still enjoy my time, which I did. I enjoyed the ship very much. I wasn’t too keen on the cold destinations but it was nice to visit.

I called Anthony and asked him to get me a room at a hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida for the first weekend in June. It was my 50th high school reunion. He sent me several options. I chose the Marriott.
