Bret Michaels Designs Hotel Suites Now

Something I love more than Glam metal is travel. My big hobby now is travel hacking, which is just another way of saying I collect points and loyalty rewards to bring down my out of pocket cost for travel. I read every major travel hacker blog several times each day. Every once in awhile, my passions for travel and Glam sort of cross paths. Yesterday, our friend Bret Michaels tweeted about the Rock Star Suite at the Hard Rock Hotel in Riviera Maya.

 


The Bret mention is part of a USA Today piece on six great beaches to visit in 2015. Considering Ohio just had another round of winter weather, I'll take about any beach anywhere warm at this point. We're officially two weeks out from spring. I need the warm weather to hurry up.

And shoot, since I mentioned I collect points, if you're looking for a travel rewards credit card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is great. The link is my referral and if you click through, apply and get approved, I would received 5,000 bonus points. Of course, never sign up for a credit card without thinking a lot about it first - and never carry a balance, especially on a rewards earning card because the APR on those is always sky high. This is a premium card. The annual fee is $95 and you need a pretty high credit score and solid income to get approved.  Here is a Credit Karma link to the review of the card.

The link referral is applicable here because the Sapphire Preferred earns Ultimate Rewards points which are transferable to lots of airlines and hotels. So basically I could move over some points to United, fly to Riviera Maya, check out Bret's suite and have a good laugh to myself.

But, does Bret's suite come complete with a complimentary styrofoam head, to stow the ol' "Wigdanna" ?

Of course it does, Ace. And they pipe in 17 different versions of "Every Rose" on a continuous loop over the sound system.

Ah, the Hard Rock brand: where Affliction and Ed Hardy never go outta' style!

The last room I want to stay in is a suite "designed by that schlockmeister. If you ever remember the MTV Cribs or whatever the hell it was that featured his house, you'll know why. We are talkin' "man cave meets boudoir meets Target" (pronounced "Tarzshay"). This will be a study in mediocrity, to say the least.

p.s. Hahaha!!! Those comments are priceless, ACE & HIM, particularly your Hard Rock observation, HIM!

Haha!!, Kenny O! Just as Ace asked, "What's Michaels' next move?" I'd like to take Ace's concept one step further (depending on how you look at it)... How about making those complimentary styrofoam heads also come as both "Silver and Gold Signed Limited Edition Official Brett Michaels Chrome Mannequin Heads with the exact die-cast visage of Bread Michsells' face, right down to the finest detail. The Silver Package includes the limited edition, 1 of 5,000, signed bust of Brett Michaels' head, crafted and engineered to the most exacting measurement and detail, AND if you act right now, in addition to the Official Brett Shmuckles Bust, you also get the Official Brett Schmichaels Chrome Wig -- a 100% accurate recreation of his very own personal wig. PLUS, if you call in the next 15 minutes, you will also receive the exact chrome replica of his very own bandana. Just imagine! You'll be able to personally position the wig right over a perfect rendition of Brett Michaels' own actual head, securing it in place with the bandana! Of course, The Gold Package is identical and available for only another $50!"

And HIM! How about a Brett Michael's 100% Sharkskin Glam Business Suit, taking Ryan Seacrest's new 'Distinction' line of suits one step further?!

Only, and I do mean only, if there is a Bret Michaels Pets Rock™ Warthog Dog Toy in each pocket. Nothing says "horns up, head down" like a plush chew toy.
