Christmas in Las Vegas is magical with an abundance of holiday cheer and dazzling Christmas lights and beautiful holiday decorations.

Many people want to escape the chilling cold weather and desire a warmer destination to enjoy their Christmas vacation. Las Vegas is a great choice but even though summer temps sizzle over 100 degrees, don’t expect that in December. Las Vegas can of course be warm, but don’t be surprised for much cooler weather. Even snow is possible, but rather rare.

If you check out the list of Most Popular Destinations for Christmas Travel 2015 from Priceline based on hotel reservations, you’ll see many popular cities.

Since 2013, the following 4 cities in the U.S. continue to dominate the list – Las Vegas, Orlando, New York City, and Orange County.

The top 25 list did have some shuffling that we wanted to point out. Atlanta made a big jump, up from #43 to #14. Tampa moved from #45 to #29. Washington ended in the #13 spot, up from #32 last year. Nashville came in at #50, up 22 spots from #28.

New, Luxury China Cruise Liner to Launch in 2020

When complete, the first, luxury cruise liner built in China will be greater than twice as large as the Titanic. Although it won’t be making its maiden voyage until 2020, the new China cruise liner will be massive.

The luxury China cruise liner will be built by the largest largest shipbuilder – China State Shipbuilding Corp or CSSC. In a joint venture with Carnival Corporation, the two companies signed a staggering £2.6 billion agreement. Carnival is the largest cruise ship operator in the world, so it’s a great fit to help build the biggest China cruise liner.

In addition to the two companies named above, China Investment Corp (CIC) is also involved in the joint venture. CIC is one of the biggest sovereign wealth management funds anywhere in the world.

The focus is to clearly create a new luxury cruise-line industry in China and capture a share of this booming, worldwide market. Chinese travelers have caught the cruise bug and are cruising in record numbers. Tourist industry analysts are projecting that mainland Chinese travelers will spend approximately US$11.5 million on cruises by 2018. That number was about US$6.8 billion in 2013, so the estimate is almost doubling

The new cruise ship is expected to carry about 5,000 passengers and weigh about 130,000 tons. The ship will also be about 300 meters long.

Alan Buckelew is the Global Chief Operations Officer at Carnival and was quoted, “This joint venture is a significant step forward for the cruise industry in China and a tremendous opportunity … to increase awareness, interest and demand for cruise vacations among domestic Chinese travelers.”

The role that Carnival Corp will fulfill in this joint venture is to do “ship design and shipbuilding expertise”. Carnival currently operates to other cruise line brands – Princess Cruises in China and Costa Cruises.

To give you a great example of how much mainland China travelers love to cruise, they accounted for about a 45% increase over 2013, totaling almost 740k passengers in 2014. We expect 2015 to also show a large year over year increase.

As China continues to grow as a leading travel country, we should see more news on new cruise ships and joint ventures to capitalize on the business opportunity.

Luxury Tax Penalties – Major League Baseball Paying the Price

We all know that there is a lot of money involved in professional sports. For sports teams that exceed the salary cap budget each other, must pay hefty, luxury tax penalties.

For example, MLB (Major League Baseball) teams are currently being audited to evaluate what their payrolls ended up after this past season. The 2015 MLB season ended witht he Kansas City Royals winning the fall classic, World Series. The Royals beat the New York Mets in five games. The win gave Kansas City the second World Series championship in their franchise history.

According to a recent Forbes article, it’s time for MLB teams to pay the dreaded, luxury tax penalties for 2015. It’s often hard to predict what the luxury tax penalties will be for each team. During the course of the baseball season, there many changes to a team’s 40 man roster. Players get traded and cut from a roster. They may retire or new players can join from minor league team affiliates.

We read all about the skyrocketing player salaries in professional sports like baseball, football, basketball and hockey. For this past baseball season, the average player salary is a whopping $12.9 million. That figure includes both benefits and extended benefits for the players. A lot of different things go into that staggering salary number including: payroll, workman’s compensation, unemployment and Social Security taxes; health and pension benefits; club medical costs; travel and moving expenses; spring training allowances; postseason pay; insurance in addition to player meals and tip money and more! Don’t forget about incentive bonuses that were earned and non-cash compensation. Now that’s quite the benefit package.

In Major League Baseball, the leagues Luxury Tax is called the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT). In 2015, that payroll value was $189 million. Foe each dollar a MLB team spend above the CBT, then they must pay luxury tax penalties. Since 2003 when the Competitive Balance Tax first went into place, more than $400 million in luxury taxes have been paid by MLB teams.

So who leads the list of big spenders. No surprise, but the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees lead the pack. In fact, those 2 teams have paid a luxury tax every year. The current estimates are as follows:

Los Angeles Dodgers – $298,320,297
New York Yankees – $241,150,787
Boston Red Sox – $199,732,694
San Francisco Giants – $196,631,618

The Dodgers team salary breaks an all-time high this year. The Red Sox exceed the cap for the first time since 2011 and the Giants have done it for the first time ever. Does loading p your team with big salaries guarantee a World Series win in October? Of course not. None of the above teams won or even made it to the World Series.

We realize it’s not as simple as stocking a team with high salary players. There are many factors that must be looked at as to why a team doesn’t win it all. Remember, only one team is the big winner each year. Injuries, bad luck, players not jelling with each other, poor performances, etc….

No one has a crystal ball so we’ll all wait and watch until that last out is made and only one team is standing at the end of a long season as World Series champion!  Will big spending buy a team’s way to the title?  Only time will tell.

A Fabulous Winter Stay in a Luxury Chalet

A luxury chalet is one of many traditional wooden lodges found in the scenic Alps of Europe.  Most people don’t immediately place a luxury tag to a log cabin, but don’t be misled. Many of these chalets are spectacular and luxurious, in every sense of the word.

While a luxury chalet may certainly look comfortable, it would be hard to say that a log cabin is in any way luxurious. Just like hotels, a winter luxury chalet comes in many sizes and categories.
