Top 10 French Translations at Paris Vegas
Last updated: December 21, 2009 at 5:35 pm. Posted by Las Vegas Blog Staff in Las Vegas Casinos, Paris Las Vegas. Comments Off on Top 10 French Translations at Paris Vegas.
When they say "Everything's Sexier at Paris," they're not kidding.
The other day, we were checking our hair in one of the immaculate Paris Las Vegas restrooms, when we heard what sounded like one of those classic "learn to speak French" instructional tapes playing over the P.A. system. What a great idea. But it got better…
The very serious announcer said, "Listen carefully for phrases you'll find useful here at Paris Las Vegas." Too good. Custom translations!
If you've never heard them, you're missing out. These faux (we think that's a French term, come to think of it) French translations are sassy and funny, doubly so because they're so well done and catch you by surprise.
Here, then, are our 10 favorite phrases translated into French on the P.A. system at Paris Las Vegas.
1. "How do I get this glitter off my clothes?"
2. "I shaved my legs for this?"
3. "You know what? Your clothes would look great on my bedroom floor."
4. "Wow, are those real?"
5. "Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money?"
6. "I'm never drinking again."
7. "I lost my number, can I have yours?"
8. "If my husband calls, I'm not here. If the pool boy calls, I'm here."
9. "Has anyone seen my panties?"
10. "Oh, BLEEP, where is my wedding ring?"
Note: "Bleep" sounds exactly the same in English and French. Who knew?
By the way, you can actually purchase that great cake topper at Paris. But only if you have a sense of humor. Because the folks at Paris clearly do!

Proof66 Notes
Booker's bourbon is part of Jim Beam's "small batch collection," which is intended to compete directly with the most premium of ultra-premium bourbons and whiskeys sweeping the market. Booker's Bourbon is Jim Beam's invention of the "single barrel bourbon." It is the bourbon taken straight from the barrel in all its unfiltered, high proof glory. It's aged between six and eight years in American oak. Jim Beam suggests mixing with spring water to "taste," which is almost a necessity given its high proof.
We had our own thoughts about this whiskey after a tasting run by Master Distiller Fred Noe.
Jim Beam—today the largest bourbon producer in the United States (and since bourbon can only be legally made in the United States, the world)—was founded by Jacob Beam in the 1790s. He's credited for selling his first barrel of whiskey in 1795 "and the legend was born." It was briefly sold off in 1920 during prohibition but was rebuilt in a mere 120 days following its repeal in 1933. The Beam family has been in continuous position as master distillers for the entire history of the facility; additionally, this prolific family has served as master distillers for most of the bourbon producing distilleries in Kentucky at one time or another--the website contains a "distillers tree" that chronicles the myriad relationships among the bourbon producers of Kentucky. In 2005, they produced their 10 millionth barrel of bourbon.
In October of 2011, Fortune Brands divested themselves of their spirits division Beam Global for a $500 million cash dividend. The new "pure spirits-play company" began trading publicly as Beam, Inc. In April, 2014, Japan-based
Rabble Reviews
One of my favorite bourbons by a country mile. Both my nose and palate pick up perfect sweetness, rich oak, deep spice, raisins and dark plums. I do tamp down the ABV a bit with spring water (I aim for 100 proof). I will buy again. Batch note: Annis Answer, 2016-2
Most folks do not know that Bookers releases about 3 to 4 vintages per year- they are all somewhat different, thanks for noting your release.
Not related to this review, but where did you ever find KC 1.75 at that price? thats what you would pay for 1 bottle ! Now I am the one looking for your review of it ! Cheers.
I was really lucky finding this 1.75, my local was having a flash sale on the large Knob Creeks. Maybe the shop was making room for the new, just announced, No Age Statement Knob Creeks on the way.
That would be the first I ever heard of KC with no age statement. 2-3 years ago there was a shortage, but that was because KC was short on 9year old and rather than go NAS they had a press release stating they would not produce KC as a NAS. It's a pretty big selling point with them.
Are you sure you are not confusing Elijah Craig with Knob Creek ?
Yeah, I am disappointed in the announcement. I read it at the bourbon blog by Chuck Cowdery.
The Knob Creek press site has a picture of the new NAS statement bottle at https://www.beamsuntory.com/brands/knob-creek
You are sure right-and I thought I stayed up to date. Thats just todays news! Well I hope they keep their word moving forward in maintaining the quality.
This is and Stagg Jr. are my go-tos when I'm in a high octane kind a' mood. Can't decide which I like better. Bookers has an intriguing earthy note, like the dirt on the floor of the rackhouse (in a good way), combined with pure corn. More taste testing is required to figure out which I prefer. I know, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it... A very, very easy five stars. I would give it ten if I could.
Awesome Bourbon ! check out my notes on the nose: Raisin-leather-Maple-Sweet Oak-Fig-Dark Honey-Sweet Cigar Box-Graham crackers with spun honey-Black current and Fruitcake batter ! Now for the best part. ALL of the nose carries through to the taste. I personally refer to these rich 5 stars as "Christmas Bourbon" or "Fireplace Bourbon". A bourbon to be savored. Every sip unleashes a concert of creamy Bourbon goodness. It's the kind of bourbon that can take you back to past memories. There are other Bourbons of this same quality and I don't think you have to go past that $60 mark to enjoy them. This bourbon is 63.95% alcohol, so plan on some dilution to enjoy. Also keep in mind this is vintage Bourbon. The Bookers I reviewed here is the C2014-05. Aged for 7 years 5 months. Other vintages may have different expressions.
A very tasty cask proof bourbon. It has all the right bourbon notes in a pleasing proportion. This one benefits from an ice ball. Oaky, leathery notes provide a memorable finish.
Booker's was my second cask strength bourbon (Wild Turkey Rare Breed was my first). I ordered this with my birthday dinner last year (the restaurant gave me at LEAST a double), and I was both excited and a bit nervous. Excited because this stuff has a pretty incredible reputation. Nervous because its 120 proof and Beam already held the record for harshest 80 proof spirit I've ever tried (White Label) and harshest 100 proof spirit I've ever tried (Knob Creek). My experience turned out not to be overwhelming in either sense though. Although this is at least 10% stronger than Knob Creek and anywhere from 1-3 years younger, the burn is not terrible. I ordered this neat, but hedged my bets by getting glass of ice water for a chaser. Oddly enough, this did not burn at all neat, but all I could smell or taste was alcohol. It was like thick brown vodka, only moreso, it had even more alcohol character than any vodka I've ever tried. I fished a 2 small ice cubes out of my ice water and that opened it up, and (oddly) brought out some burn (though it still wasn't terrible). Before I finished, I also added 1/2 an ounce of water to my 3-4 oz of whiskey. I got a bunch of different nuances of caramel and vanilla, a little bit of oak and a lot of alcohol. The body of the whiskey felt thick and viscous on my tongue- almost oily. Somehow this almost felt like a layered drink , one sip would taste mostly of alcohol, the next would be a rich slightly vanilla-y caramel. I found I had to sip this slowly because it was so rich. Although I had only 1 other drink that night (a double of Angel's Envy), I could not quite finish my double/four ounces of Bookers. All in all, I enjoyed this, and will taste it again. Cask strength bourbon is a different experience and its possible, even likely, that my own pallet isn't mature enough to appreciate this particular one fully yet Bookers was good, though I didn't feel like it was quite worth the price to me personally. That's what lands this at 4.5 stars for me (I won't round up to 5). It was good, but not to the point where I'm willing to pay the $50-$60 it would cost me for a whole bottle. If you like bourbon, you should try Booker's at some point, but as at least 1 other reviewer pointed out, do NOT jump straight from an 80 proof spirit like Jack Daniels straight into this. Apparently its still a long jump from a 100 proof spirit to this. All in all, my hat is off to Beam though, this is still a fairly unique product and one I never would have guessed they could do well.
One of my all time top 5 favs. Great taste and very smooth.
I think this bruiser might be my new favorite bourbon. Peanut butter, cayenne pepper, and bacon on the nose. Toffee, pecan pie, and very dark fruits on the palate and a nice long, warming finish. For being such a high ABV it's incredibly smooth and only requires a splash of water. I wish it was a little cheaper but even at $55, it's a phenomenal bourbon! A must try!
Like others mentioned, this beast must be tamed with varying measures of dilution to your taste, as straight up it's gonna simply hurt your nose (along with some mild headache) and possibly miss out on the intense vanilla, caramel, oaky and fruity character of this bourbon. For me, just splash of water helps me bring out those characters and is very smooth considering the high proof. Generally i prefer spirits straight up, but this is one of those products where adding water would truly turn your booker's experience from bad to greatness.
Sweet on the nose, hot and smooth on the tongue. Poured neat this blasts your nose with all the usual suspects in a traditional bourbon: vanilla, light oak, with some brown sugar bringing up the rear. Sipped, it opens hot before relaxing into strong, creamy, vanilla tones with some underlying pepper announcing the presence of rye and alcohol. With a few drops of water the high-octane nature of this bourbon eases up. The aromas become more subdued across the board with some new smells sneaking through. My first thoughts were of caramel. Your sip evens out, with a smooth vanilla taste from front to back. All in all, an excellent bourbon that demands to be contemplated in stages. A must-have for lovers of cask-strength whiskies.
I love high proof bourbon and rye, so I admit this review is biased. That said, this is one of my favorite things to drink, and I've found over the years that high-proof whiskeys tend to paradoxically taste smoother than normal 80-proofers, especially with a dab of water. It doesn't have a lot of flavor complexity, but the couple of flavors it does have are very up-front and defined: caramel, oak, stonefruit. I actually go for this in a Manhattan, it does mix well. It is really the opposite of Jim Beam and is the best thing by FAR that distillery makes. A bourbon heavyweight that plays well with others, this is part of my holy trinity of high proofs, the other two being Bone Snapper Rye and Stagg Jr.
A tasty bourbon, quite different than most bourbons. Its a strong in your face Bourbon.A very high proof bourbon better to cool it down with some ice.
Other than the 12 year Brandy finish Jim Beam, this is my favorite of the Beam line. It is best neat, but must be approached with some care and respect. It is incredibly smooth for 127 proof, but it will still hurt you if you are careless. Booker's puts the "sip" in sipping whiskey.
Though I normally have my drinks neat, this one requires either a cube or a shot of water. It's like having every instrument in the orchestra blowing at max volume otherwise. It really is a delicious pour, but you might have to use a little trial and error to find your own sweet spot for the amount of dilution.
The absolute best bourbon that I've ever tasted. Very warm, smooth, and definitely smoky. Before today my favorite was Maker's Mark, so think that but better. You will want to take this one slowly!
Tried it at first and immediately went for the ice cubes. A little hot but a little cool water melted in does wonders! Opens up to have a mild smoke with a nice touch of sweet vanilla from the oak with a hint of fruit in the middle. Smooths out well to a bit of a drier finish but now where near bitter. An excellent choice.
As others have said, this is not a beginners whiskey. Not because it is too strong, it would just be a shame to not fully appreaciate all the flavor. Fruit, vanilla, caramel, and a little smokey too. To be such a high proof it is remarkabley smooth. I prefer it over a few cubes of ice as it slowly adds some water and opens up the the whiskey. It also cuts a bit of bite out of it. Definitely a sipping whiskey, and by far my favorite.
It's the bomb, but it's something you work your way to. It's strong, so I'd recommend making this the pinnacle of your evening. I like to walk guests through buffalo trace, 1972, Blanton's, four roses 101, before landing at this beautiful bourbon. If you love bourbon, & you drink it neat, I can almost guarantee that this sexy cask strength bottle will win a permanent spot on your bar!
This isn't a bottle you go after quickly or you'll be drooling on the floor with the dog. Mix with a couple ice cubes and a very small splash of water to bring out the full flavor of this wonderful whiskey.
Not for the neophyte, this is a add water or a couple cubes of ice and sip kind of spirit. I have had many bottles of this over the years and can attest to the fact that there is some variance between barrels. Can be found easily sub $50 and in bc liquor stores (notoriously higher price in Canada) for around $55. Must have in bar in my opinion.
Bought this for my bourbon drinking brother. Cracked it open with him and some freinds. The bottle did not last the night. Everone loved it. A few drank it neat others with ice. Smooth, powerful, tasty. Have to save up for another bottle.
Has a good oak flavor. Also a fair amount of heat. Liked it better cut with a few ice cubes added.
This is a tremendous whiskey, with bold, sweet, syrupy flavor. The high alcohol content is not as intense as one might imagine. For those accustomed to bourbon, it drinks smoothly.
I am a bit biased, because this is my absolute favorite sipping whisk(e)y, regardless of style or country of origin. Big, oaky, smoky and sweet, with vanilla, caramel and fruit. Big flavors, but not as intense as one would expect from a bourbon that ranks 120-130 proof. I've had a few lower proof whiskies that felt stronger. That said, I still would not recommend this to whiskey novices. I've seen several friends try to jump from Jack or Jameson to this and they swear they will never try it again, simply because it's much stronger and more complex than the average 80 proof whiskey.
This is big boy bourbon. Not for beginners. It is also one of the best. Bold as hell.
Mix with a bit of water to open up the flavors. Unbelievably smooth for such a high proof.
It's good, spend a little more to get a bottle from the antique collection.
Got this one for Christmas from my whiskey-lovin' brother. Even he couldn't do more than one glass of the stuff. It IS smooth for a 127 proof whiskey, but still has an overpowering taste. Best mixed with a little water or ice.

Diablo 3 Cheats
[Edited by Jamf, 5/31/2012 4:16:22 PM]
I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed with the trainer. The only feature that works is the quick quit and the improved speed (which ends up lagging you so its not worth it).
Am I doing something wrong because I can not get the map hack or the enemy blips to show up properly...
I was hoping the speed hack worked like this:
But unfortunately, it does not...
[Edited by ripacrombie, 5/31/2012 11:44:44 AM]
If you're using the last trainer dated May 29, forget it, it does not work anymore and when it was working, it worked great for me, as advertised. Blizzard uploaded a new patch today version 1.02.9858 and that is why none of the features work anymore.
here is a question.
when u enhance speed, attack speed were being faster as well?
or the characters just moved faster?
if they attacked faster, it would be fantastic
[Edited by fnfnfn, 5/31/2012 5:41:15 PM]

[Edited by fnfnfn, 5/31/2012 5:41:15 PM]
Attack speed is a stat on your character and falls under the untouchable server side stuff.
lol, these last few posts just made my day. BTW, Blizzard just implemented a scanning device called Warden? Heard a bunch of people *****ing about it on another forum
Warden has been around for years now. It does a hash check on the files in memory while you're connected to Battle.Net periodically. If you fail this check, your account gets flagged and probably get booted from Battle.Net. If they find that you were using an "unauthorized 3rd party tool" then they usually ban the account.
help! plz

origionally from "Romeo Must Die" a phrase used to identify someone stupid and irritating. Someone who is worth less than you. Said between a mate and you, usually in hoarse voices pretending to be whispering but loud enough for the stupid person to hear. This creates maximum damage to the shiftless negro's feelings...but hey, they're a shiftless negro...they deserve it

Overview | Treatment Program | Before and After Pictures | Sun Spot Removal Costs & Prices
Age Spot Removal Prices
Laser age spot removal prices vary based upon the type and number of treatments as well as the experience of the practice. It's very common in our industry for age spots (sun spots, liver spots) to be treated with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or q-switched lasers. Both are options for treatment, but they often do not have the same total cost.
IPL treatments will vary depending on who is doing the treatment (Nurse, physician assistant, MD) and also how much time they spend on the visit. IPL can be a very quick treatment and we usually see it priced between $200 – $400 per visit. Although the number of visits will vary from patient to patient, it is usually recommended by practices that use IPL that 4-5 treatments are required to achieve desired results.
Q-switched lasers are a different technology than IPL. Because q-switched lasers are designed to remove tattoos and brown birthmarks, they typically have fewer treatments associated with removing age spots permanently. In our practice 1-3 visits are typically required and prices vary between $200 – $750 per treatment depending on how many areas we are doing.
When you choose a practitioner for sun spot removal ask about which technology is being used, the total cost of the program and how many treatments are expected to permanently remove the sun damage.

About This Slideshow:
Children at Camp Aiken used items from the Goodwill store in Aiken to create art projects at The Family Y of Aiken County on Thursday, July 11, 2013. Sergio Gallardo, art director, said he wanted the children to learn the importance of recycling, creativity and sharing. "A lot of people will see this as just trash," Gallardo said. "But I want them to see you can take something that people perceive as trash and create something useful." JON-MICHAEL SULLIVAN/STAFF

"That could turn out to be a pretty good pick," said the GM, pointing to the fact Montreal dealt a pick it had originally acquired from Toronto in June. The rebuilding Maple Leafs aren't expected to challenge for a playoff spot.
"And everyone knew the Hawks had to make a move to get under the cap."
While it's believed the Hawks tried for quite a while to move goalie Nikolai Khabibulin to get under the cap, GM Dale Tallon instead dealt Lang (who has one year and $4 million left on his deal). It not only resolved Tallon's cap problems, but also created a roster spot for either Dave Bolland or Petri Kontiola, young centers who the Hawks believe are ready to make the step.
"We want to continue to build from within and give our young guys an opportunity," Tallon told ESPN.com today. "And we also want to look into the future, too, and continue to build through the draft."
The Habs, meanwhile, get the short-term fix they were looking for to bolster their depth down the middle. Lang has scored at least 50 points in eight straight seasons. Montreal just needs to squeeze one more year like that out of him. The window is now for the Canadiens, who finished first in the Eastern Conference last season, and GM Bob Gainey had a decent summer in adding Lang, star sniper Alex Tanguay and premier tough guy Georges Laraque.
Gainey didn't get veteran star Mats Sundin, his No. 1 target, but didn't want to wait until December to sign him, either. So, with the Lang deal, Montreal is out of the Sundin Sweepstakes. I think Gainey made a wise choice. Now his team is set from the start of training camp, with his players not looking at the dressing room door wondering if Sundin is going to walk in and save the day.
"We just made the decision that we had a chance to start the season with a team that we would be happy with," Gainey told ESPN.com today. "We'd had quite a bit of time in contact with Mats Sundin from sometime in June, and there really had not been any indication that we were anywhere in his sights. So the opportunity to make the change with Chicago was there and that was our choice."
What's on the agenda for Tuesday's BOG meeting
The NHL's board of governors convenes tomorrow here in Toronto. I'll have the privilege of standing outside the meeting and trying to run after owners or team executives for a comment afterward. Most of them will try to avoid us media members. It's always a mad scramble.
We were able to get our hands on some details from tomorrow's agenda:
1. There will obviously be an update on the ownership situation in Nashville, the league still reeling from the bank fraud charges laid on part-owner William "Boots" Del Biaggio III. There will also apparently be talk of "preliminary qualification procedures for ownership transfers." I can only translate this as meaning the league wants to somehow set more rigid guidelines for future owners or future franchise sales.
2. Owners will also discuss "new potential franchise markets" from groups who have expressed interest. This is standard at these meetings; it doesn't mean the NHL is planning to expand any time soon. But there will be the usual update from groups interested in Las Vegas and Winnipeg, among others.
3. A discussion of the collective bargaining agreement and the players' union. The NHLPA can opt out of the CBA after this season, although I would be shocked if the players did.
4. An update on the lack of an international player transfer agreement, the league's talks with the IIHF and the goings-on in Russia.
There are other items, as well. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Other moves on the horizon?
Now that Lang has been dealt, it'll be interesting to see if it spurs on more moves.
The Anaheim Ducks have been trying to deal away veteran blueliner Mathieu Schneider all summer long, but still no takers. The 39-year-old is in the last year of a deal that pays him $5.75 million this season. The Ducks need to find cap room if and when Teemu Selanne decides to come back.
Another veteran defenseman believed to be available is 34-year-old Frantisek Kaberle of the Carolina Hurricanes. He's got two more seasons at $2.2 million a year -- not a bad cap number for a decent, two-way defenseman.

How can you go about meeting and managing your customers' expectations?
It seems that everywhere I look this month I'm reminded of a major and growing trend that's increasingly impacting the way that every business needs to think.
It's this: customer expectations are rising faster than a bunch of helium balloons on a calm day. Especially when it comes to digital.
What does this mean and how can you go about meeting and managing your customers' expectations?
10 interesting Econsultancy posts from August
Some of you might have been lucky enough to have escaped work in August. And, while I'm sure you enjoyed lounging at Club Med, there is some interesting Econsultancy content you have missed!
Here is our top 10 posts of the month, from great comment threads to 'sleepers' that are too good to be missed.
Helping fund a non-profit: the digital donation funnel
When it comes to generating donations we all know that there is more to digital fundraising than simply broadcasting to your supporters.
It's important to understand who the audience is, whether they likely to convert into volunteers and/or financial supporters and what the best method is of communicating with each stakeholder group to get the best return on resources.
Save yourself tears with the Econsultancy Online Resource Manager
Do you outsource your website and related services? If so you must ensure you retain access and ownership of your online resources to prevent any potential negative impact to your businesses.

This is the second in a short series of posts which aims to primarily benefit small website owners, but consequently helps the web designers producing sites for those types of businesses.
Report: Loyalty programs don't always breed loyalty in Australia
Australian consumers buy more from retailers with loyalty programs, and are more likely to choose a brand with a loyalty program, but this doesn't mean they will be more loyal, according to a new report.
The For love or money? 2013 consumer study into Australian loyalty programs report, commissioned by strategic marketing company Directivity and digital agency Citrus, surveyed over 1,000 consumers in February 2013 to see how Australians feel towards loyalty programs.
And, the findings highlighted that while loyalty programs definitely influence buyer behaviour, they don't always equal customer loyalty.
Magazines move Australian readers online
Magazine readership in Australia may be falling, but magazines still have a powerful presence online if the #MagsMoveMe initiative is anything to go by.
On the 1st May, Bauer Media Australia, Pacific Magazines and News Life Media launched a social media campaign to encourage readers to share how magazines had moved and inspired them over the years.
Australian Twitter users have a genuine interest in brands
A new report has revealed that Australian Twitter users follow brands in order to keep up to date with new products, rather than score freebies or discounts.
ExactTarget's 2013 Executive Summary collates the results from surveying 8,276 consumers across Australia, Brazil, France, Germany and the UK, and looks at the motivations behind why and how users interact with brands online.
Australian consumers ignore targeted marketing
It seems Australian consumers are losing patience with targeted, yet unwanted, marketing and advertising, both online and off.
A new government report has found that 1 in 2 consumers received an uninvited telemarketing call in the past six months, and a further 9 in 10 consumers said these telemarketing calls were a problem.
Australia: Traditional retailers are heading online... and e-tailers are heading off
Some of Australia's biggest retailers have recently spoken out at a conference in Melbourne saying that while selling online has the benefit of lower overheads, it is not yet as profitable as traditional bricks-and-mortar retailing.
Report: Nearly half of top 100 Australian companies have no social media presence
Only 50% of Australia's biggest companies use social media to talk to their customers and it seems many would prefer their customers didn't talk back, according to findings from a new report.
Econsultancy has often written about how complex social media is in Australia, with many organisations appearing to struggle with the various platforms and strategies found within the landscape.
Report: Australians online want to transact, but do they also want to interact?
In the next three to five years almost 75% of Australian organisations expect to have mobile apps available, up from 40% today, in an attempt to better engage and interact with their consumers, according to new research.
Optus' Future of Business report surveyed more than 2,000 consumers over the age of 18, as well as 550 marketing and IT executives from mid-large sized organisations, to look at which customer interaction channels are most important to businesses and their consumers.
Big data can mean big trouble if used with the wrong intent
We're quite literally swimming in a sea of data. We have the ability to collect it from every consumer touch point we choose, whether it's website activity, cookies, socialgraph information, direct marketing database, in-store or using other third party tools.
There is no shortage of data, but what does your business do with it all? Is your brand using big data to enrich people's lives? Or is it just used for more "accurate" ad targeting?
It probably depends on how your business is structured and where you sit, or how you employ your agencies. Do you consider the entire consumer journey, and understand how your product and services enhance the lives of existing customers?
Or are you only concerned and targeted on achieving high advertising click-through rates and low cost per clicks?
There is a balance to be struck, and one of the biggest challenges facing brands and agencies today is to ensure they really do have the right intentions at heart. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of using all the insights derived from the various data sources to construct "relevant" marketing messages to interrupt people with the aim of persuading them to buy stuff.
This interruption, even if deemed relevant by the business, maybe unwelcome to the consumer and could tarnish your brand.
Read on, if you feel you, as a marketer, may be falling into such a trap.

TravelPod Member ReviewsPeninsula Excelsior Hotel Singapore
Wow I enjoyed this hotel a lot. Very central to all I needed to do. Bus station just around the corner, taxi rank out the front. (and taxi's are a cheep way to commute around Singapore). Staff were pleasant and really helpful, We hardly heard much outside noise from our room. Room was well presented for the two of us, and the bathroom was good also. Have to say that the buffet breakfast was excellent, and nightly meals from their restaurant were perfectly cooked to my liking. When I return to Singapore next time, I am sure to stay here again.

Rom good, very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Service excellent. Only negative was that we wanted to visit the Sky Tower Lounge and because our cards were for Excelsior they would not work the lift in Peninsula. We could have got to other floors but not this one. Were rescued by a very helpful member of staff but left feeling we were somehow second class guests!

It is a nice place to stay. The room was nice but the elevator seems old or vintage??
The location is great, near to bus stop or MRT station. But it's Singapore, and it is so easy to find MRT or bus stop.

Historical Traveler Reviews Peninsula Excelsior Hotel Singapore
Outdated hotel
We had a 4days seminar in Singapore and was booked to Peninsula Excelsior. The lobby was impressive but the room was not. The location is far from Orchard Road where the action is specially shopping.
Going Downhill - quickly
Having stayed in this hotel before, it came as a shock to see what is happening to it now. A magnificent lobby is a facade to rooms that are generally run down and service that is questionable. Intermittent hot water that takes about 5 minutes to find its way into the shower, hit and miss room service - toiletries not replenished, cups not cleaned - musty smell in rooms and elevators that only work sometimes, led to a five day stay that was not memorable for the right reasons. We will not stay at this hotel again and suggest that the owners spend a little money on the rooms and not the pool and whilst on the subject of the pool it would be nice if the management could provide some leniancy and courtesy when the pool deck is well populated at night instead of calling "Time Out" and shutting the lighting down at a regimentaed time each night - and some bar service / snacks at the pool would be welcomed also.
Had a great experience for 3 months
Being a traveler on business, hotels have become a second home for me. This being my first trip to Singapore, the Excelsior hotel was first rate. Initially my room overlooked the fire station and on several occasions the noise was unbearable. I was switched to a larger room overlooking the top of the Funan IT mall and my office in the Ministry of Finance building.
During my stay this hotel went out of there way to make my stay an enjoyable one, I was on first name basis with most of the staff and they were getting used to seeing this American roam the lobby on many occasions.
The pool was incredible, actually the only negative I had during my stay. On a particular Saturday afternoon I ventured to the pool and was met abruptly by a considerable number of drunk American sailors. I longed for the quiet of Europeans, Aussies, and Asians I had on previous pool visits and I was glad they were only there for a single weekend.
I'll make sure to book with this hotel again on my next trip to Singapore.
Great Location needs a little tlc
We have just returned from this Hotel - staying as stopovers on way to and from UK to Nz
Hotel is in an excellent location - especially with 2 small children
staff very friendly - possibly due to us having 2 blonde children!
Breakfast was great - good variety and plenty of it - even at 10am close down time!
No noise problems, huge room for us - we only booked a triple but had loads of room for the 4 of us
swimming pool great - and they have lovely showers and fresh towels, soap, hairdryer if you have a late flight - check out 12noon too which is good - and very efficient luggage storage system.
We were on an SIA stopover package and had loads of free things to do too - kids loved china town
I would stay here again for a couple of nights - great location - and as someone else said - do you need to spend much time in your room in a city like Singapore!
Very disappointing service at the Peninsular on a Singapore Stopover Holiday
I stopped over in Singapore in October as part of a Singapore Stopover Holiday (SSH) for a night and was accommodated at the Excelsior Peninsular Hotel in central Singapore. These stopover holidays are a great way to see Singapore apparently and they include accommodation, hotel transfers and discount vouchers for many attractions. Our flight from South Africa to Singapore arrived at 6am Singapore time and after transfers to the hotel we arrived by about 8am. This is where the probelms started - upon checking in I was told that my room would not be ready until 2pm - this was the normal check-in time... I questioned why someone on a stopover holiday who was arriving so early in the morning would not have a room immediately available and was told that this was not the hotels fault.
Needless to say, I was extremely unhappy at having to sit in the hotel lobby with only my hand luggage for 4 hours until 12pm waiting for a room... It was possibly the worst experience to go through after a long flight when all you want is a shower and a change of clothes!! By 12pm, delirious from lack of sleep and extremely aggravated to say the least, I threw my toys out the cot a bit and demanded a room and was immediately given one!!! 3 hours sleep later I ventured out into the streets of Singapore and took it all in for a couple of hours - instead of the 8 hours I had thought would be available had I checked in at a reasonable time! SO make sure you check before booking at the Peninsular - check your arrivak time and make sure your room will be available when you get there - no matter what time!!!
Tacky ? Not a problem
Just back from finishing a couple of weeks in Thailand with 3 days at this hotel in Singapore.
What I can't understand are the people who will travel to Singapore and then spend time in their hotel room !
Sure, this place is a bit Miami Vice once you get past the lobby. But I saw the lobby twice - checking in and checking out. I didn't try the pool or the restaurants. And why ? Because this place is right in the centre of town, a 2 minute walk to the river, and less than that to a massive gadget-freak mall - plus its' very close to the City Hall underground interchange.
It's tall enough and well lit enough to spot in the distance as you wander around most of Singapore.
With one full day on Orchard Road, one on Sentosa and one in Chinatown, we spent our sleeping time in the hotel and that's it. We had a nice view and quite enjoyed the kitsch 80's glamour of the decor.
Everything worked and the staff were very helpful, but as we tend to use hotels in cities as crashpads rather than homes-from-home we don't tend to mind an odd bit of peeling paint or tatty carpet.
When I go back, I'll consider the hotel again, it's in a great spot and is very reasonably priced
Tired bedrooms, lovely reception, agree with what has been said before
I am in agreement with much of what has been said before, great lobby/public area, super location opposite the lovely old cathedral in its grassy area,and great views over the harbour from our high floor (14th/17th?). But as always, lots of building work going on nearby - will any of it affect the views in due course?
But the bedrooms are a disappointment, our bathroom needed repair/refurbishment and there was little space for two cases in the room.
The only evening meal we had in was a dinner for 35 people in a separate room, so can't comment on regular dining. House wines here about �20 a bottle, but you find those prices throughout the Far East. Our Chinese Banquet meal was OK, passable, but not a patch on the one we had at the Chinese Restaurant at the SunTec Convention Centre the previous night, or those we had in Thailand later on in the trip.
I thought breakfast was acceptable with a wide range of items for all tastes - you can't expect European/US cooking in the Far East at this price!
Wholehearted agreement
The lobby, complete with grand piano and the glass sided pool look like a taste of luxury to come; jet-lagged travellers, do not be deceived, the rooms are a huge let down. Ours was spacious, we had a triple (me, husband and small son) but the bathroom showed signs of a hard life and there was an odd damp patch on the carpet just in front of the bathroom door; I was afraid to investigate that further.
The room-safe was not working and was not fixed despite our constant requests. The room had seen better days, but at least it was clean. There was also building work going outside somewhere whilst we were there and no-one likes a jack-hammer at 7.00am... I jest not.
Breakfast was a buffet style arrangement, but so unappetising and lukewarm that we decamped to McDonalds out of desperation. In its favour the hotel has a great location, but location and a great lobby do not a great hotel make.
Tired - a bit of a understatement
As per the review below - I stayed at this hotel in 2003 and can agree with this. Lobby - wonderful - fresh and modern. Pool area small but acceptable (there are 2 pools). The rooms however- thought I had stepped through a time warp to the 80's - tarnished brass/gold everywhere. Rooms small, beds lumpy and the whole room had a musty damp smell and decor to match. Lighting appear to come from 40 watt bulbs and the bathroom was slightly larger than a closet - on a closet doesnt have peeling paint and signs of mold. This is a pity because I once stayed here in the 90's and the hotel was fine then - it appears all the money has gone into the lobbys and restaurant and cannot be found for the actual rooms.
A bit tired!
Since 1989 I have been travelling to Singapore (on holday) nearly every year. In that time I have stayed in this Hotel, and its previous guise as seperate Hotels, about five times.
It is a very centrally located hotel. Close to transport (MRT, Buses) next door to Chinatown, Boat and Clark Quay and their associated shops and eating places. I have always found it to be an excellent place to stay and have enjoyed the times I had there. In recent times it has been renovated and the two seperate Hotels are now linked and share a common lobby area, where once they were seperate. That renovation has been used in their recent publicity, but from what I experienced, during my last visit in June 2004, it appears that the only renovation has been that Lobby area.
The rooms, at least in the "old" Excelsior Hotel, have not been given the same attention. The paint in our bathroom was peeling and dirty. The toilet was broken and there was definite signs of wear around the bath and sink..
The bedroom itself had that tired look. The carpet was stained, the sheets threadbare and the fittings in the room were old fashioned, demonstrated by the ineffectual lighting of the room as a whole. Definitely a 1980's look in the 21st Century.
This is very unusual for hotels in Singapore. If there is one thing that has been demonstrated by the City and its inhabitants, over the years I have been visiting, it is that they keep up to date with service provision.
I will probably still stay at the Peninsula Excelsior again, I like its location.
I just hope they get rid of the tiredness.

Headphone + amp + DAC for around $1000 - Page 3
Indeed it does but if this is your first set up, go for teh AGD they have a wide variety of SS designs I'd go with a Neutral one for now. The Lyr sounds good with a lot of totl because it can roll tubes. Tubes are expensive so to get the Lyr to match a LOT of totl gear youi need to buy the tubes that you like with your gear! The AGD is the simplest solution for any begining set up! The Lyr is something you'll want later down the line. Because the Lyr with STOCK tubes doesn't sound bad but no one is using STock Tubes on their Lyr for any TOTL head[phones. They are purcahsing and experinmenting with different tubes to find the ones they like best!
what does Totl mean? I could not find the answer in search option
Top of the Line
I'm kind of leaning towards HE500 and AGD 11.32 right now. is the pre amp enough to power the orthos or would I need an amp on top, cause THAT I cant afford lol
I would think so, at at the very LEAST 1.5w should be enough for a very enjoyable HE 500 experince. And the Sabre Dac is a nice prouct! I like mine very much, lot's of detail. The HE 500 is a warmer headphone and it should pair nice with the detail of the 11.32
u can always stack things uppppp later....:P

I'd spend more of the budget on the source, ie the DAC and amp
Second hand M-Dac? and a decent pair of headphones now, and upgrade
Yeaper :D although I do not recommend stacking your Tube on top of your NFB is than an ES2 I see :3, you'd block those vents :O
Well both lines of thought are valid. Some get a Nice Entry lvl TOTL like the HE 500 and get just enough to power it, or others get a Entry TOTL Dac and Amp and then something like the Sony MA 900. Nothing wrong with either approach. I will say though, the Audio GD Combo units are a GREAT BANG for your dollar! very entry level Friendly!
I have been considering to buy Aune T1 or modi/magni stack for upgrade from E17. I am leaning towards Audio GD 11.32, after the suggestion of senior members like you. It seems like 11.32 can drive whole variety of cans! Thanks
i have a big fan blowing on those..not much real estate to manoevre :P
xD me too
I'd say same as above... But perhaps pick the emotiva mini-x over the asgard 2, I think it'll give you better sound for your money.
I'll think about other options, but I think above is a good and balanced way to spend a grand on a setup regarding the amount of money going into the individual components. Great bang for the buck components as well.
So I'm leaning towards the HE-500 with the emotiva mini-x plsu the modi. Would you recommend I simply buy an adapter that goes 1/4 inch to banana plugs, or getting an entirely new wire setup with balanced plugs..? and will going with either one have an acoustic impact?

I've been using the Audio-GD 15.32 for almost three weeks, no regrets.
and the 11.32 is suppose to have a better DAC.
My 15.32 easily drives my 600-Ohm headphones.

Ransomware is taking organizations of all sizes by storm with a keen eye on the health care sector, as made evident by recent outbreaks in the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, and more recently the Methodist Hospital in Henderson, Kentucky. Although the ransom can be costly, the reality is that the downtime inflicted by ransomware can be even more damaging to businesses.
A recent report commissioned by Intermedia found that 72 percent of employees were unable to access their files for at least two days, and 32 percent were locked out for five days or more. Richard Walters, SVP of Security Products at Intermedia, believes that companies need to take this emerging threat more seriously, and can start to do so by taking the necessary steps to minimize the damages.
