Delano Las Vegas another feather in the cap for MGM Resorts

October 2, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

As MGM Resorts continue to expand and modernize their portfolio of properties in Las Vegas, the momentum picks up with the recently launched Delano Las Vegas. Bullz-Eye visited the new resort recently and found out exactly what the hype was all about with the Delano opening her doors in Vegas. With its all-suite boutique offering, Delano Las Vegas (which is the same building as the former The Hotel) brings the effortless style and unparalleled service of the original Delano South Beach to the energy and buzz of the Las Vegas Strip.

When you first enter the Delano Las Vegas, you know there is something different about this hotel, from the private and separate entrance from the attached Mandalay Bay resort and Casino, to the natural desert fixtures welcoming you to the true desert resort. This all-suite oasis features rooms with a clean color palette of whites and neutrals, like the 725 square-foot king suite, which incorporates Delano’s iconic window sheers, crisp white linens and oversized tufted headboards, updated with playful gold accents for a bold and modern touch. Each suite features a private bedroom with a king-sized bed, a spacious spa-style bath and separate living room with its own powder room. Clean and neat is measured to the max and we appreciated the understated luxury that was very cool without trying too hard.

We started most days at the 3940 coffee and tea joint on the lobby floor. Inspired by the shaded area of a sun-drenched desert, 3940 is a comfortable retreat featuring mid-century modern furniture, plush sofas and communal seating. The ceiling’s unique lighting features cast a patterned glow to the comfortable surroundings, where we lounged and unwound by the marble fireplace or in the alluring living room. The menu is perfect for a quick bite or refreshing beverage and one can enjoy one of their many artisanal teas, freshly squeezed juices and signature coffees, or perhaps sample one of the signature menu items such as our Breakfast Burrito and Ham & Brie Paninis. The granola with yogurt was superb and was a smart healthy option.

Car Review: 2014 Kia Cadenza Limited

October 1, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

Kia continues to roll out new models, and since the debut of the all-new 2014 Kia Cadenza sedan, this offering from Kia has garnered praise for its premium feel and long list of amenities. We drove the new Cadenza for a week and had the opportunity to find out if Kia is still churning out winners!

EXTERIOR

With the Cadenza, you first notice the broad shoulders, contoured hood, large wheels and wide stance that give it a strong, grounded appearance. The striking design has a distinctive sport-sedan form that you normally find on much more expensive models. The signature grille and front fascia make Cadenza instantly recognizable as a Kia. Flanking the grille are quad headlights that nestle deeply behind crystalline lenses. The lower fascia is wide, lending to the Cadenza’s imposing stance, and chrome trim accents around the fog lights and grille add to the vehicle’s premium presence. LED positioning lights and projection beam headlights provide additional European sophistication. The vertical nose is imposing and the long hood is sensuously sculpted to meet the swept-back windshield. The greenhouse curves gracefully to the C-pillar and is surrounded by a tasteful chrome bezel that flares upward at the rear door, effectively creating a beautiful glass droplet. Beginning just aft of the front-door cutline is a chiseled indentation that sweeps upward, seamlessly transitioning into the tail lights. Classic chrome accents adorn the lower portions of the doors and the treatment continues into the rear fascia. The 19-inch alloy wheels offered in the Technology Package resemble a jet turbine and add to the Cadenza’s athletic stature.

Moving to the rear, the standard LED taillights sit high on the deck and are designed to cut across a large portion of the vehicle, lending to the Cadenza’s broad stance. The twin oval tail pipes accentuate the Cadenza’s sporty and elegant design. What universally garnered plenty of attention were the sleek 19-inch chrome alloy wheels that give this new Kia some street cred.

INTERIOR

The interior of the Cadenza envelops its occupants in a premium environment complete with soft leather upholstery and tasteful accents of wood and chrome. Ambient lighting and a horizontally positioned switch gear communicate an uncluttered and sophisticated aesthetic. An elegant analog clock positioned between the automatic climate controls lends a classic feel. The center console is angled slightly toward the driver for optimized control, and an available large 7-inch high-resolution TFT LCD screen in the gauge cluster showcases a wide range of vehicle information, including turn-by-turn navigation and infotainment. Elegant chrome bezels surround the HVAC and audio controls, air vents and the standard push-button start. Standard Bluetooth, wood-trim door inserts, one-touch automatic up/down power front windows and power-folding heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators all enhance the Cadenza’s premium image.

Tips for online dating

October 1, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

There are tons of options out there for online dating, with many websites serving a particular niche. Whether you’re looking for a hookup or a serious relationship, you can find a number of sites that will meet your needs. Sites like BestDatingWebsites.net can help you sort through the various options. It’s usually a good idea to use multiple sites, and with many free sites out there you don’t have to break the bank.

Regardless of the sites you choose, you should keep a couple of things in mind to make the best use of your time.

First, keep in mind that attractive women get flooded with messages. Don’t get upset or take it personally if you don’t get a response. It’s a buyer’s market for women on these sites and many of them just sit back and field messages. With that in mind, you really need to be on your game in order to have her even read your message, let alone visit your profile and then respond.

One tactic that will save you a ton of time is to focus on women who are currently online. If you don’t do that, you’ll end up seeing tons of profiles that you like for women who haven’t been active on the site for a while. Even if she comes back to the site, she’ll have a boatload of messages to sort through, so all the time you spend reading her profile and then crafting a personal message will probably be wasted. On the other hand, if she’s online, the chances are exponentially better that she’ll see and read your message. At least you’ll be in the game.

Also, many sites now will let you see if your message has been read. If not, you can always follow up with women who haven’t responded while knowing if she even saw your first message. If not, you can confidently try again. If so, you can address that in your next message and mention that you’re trying again.

The key here is to avoid wasting too much time on these sites. Maximize your effectiveness and get more quality responses by using these simple tactics.

The Millennial Challenge: Homeownership

September 30, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

It has been said that “the ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”

Where in the name of Jay Electronica does that leave the Millennials among us? You know; the overly analyzed champions of legalized marijuana, delayed marriage, and social liberalism. 18-34 year olds make up a scrum of perpetual renters and childhood home dwellers that probably couldn’t qualify for a traditional home loan if it fell out of Ariana Grande’s auto tune machine and landed directly in their collective laps. It’s hard to blame Generation Y; after all, we grew up during the dotcom 90’s and then graduated into the worst recession the country had experienced since the 1930s. A childhood defined by economic prosperity leading to a bourgeoning adulthood where a net worth of $10,400 makes you wealthier than half of your fresh faced 18-34 year old peers; that’s irony only a Generation Xer could appreciate.
