Thanks for the catch on my saying that Lisa Marie was Elvis wife. Unfortunately, I can't edit the video to fix that but the honeymoon hideaway is where Priscilla and Elvis Presley stayed as many have pointed out.

I wouldn’t recommend wandering around the desert. I went into a cave and got caught in a time loop. I had to relive the same day over and over for hundreds of years.

Just a tip, every Thursday night between 7pm-11pm there is a street fair on the downtown Palm Springs Strip. Super fun, loaded with people and amazing products. My first date was there.

You got to do a complete review on the living desert in palm desert. It’s definitely one of the most underrated places in Southern California.

Surprised Indian canyons didn't make the list! Andreas canyon in Indian Canyons is truly magical.

My wife and I are in Palm Springs for a two-week holiday. Based on your video we went to Bill’s Pizza. It was the BEST pizza I have ever eaten! Thank you for the recommendation.

Sunnylands Ranch in the spring when the flowers are blooming. This is where a lot of presidents would go to vacation. The grounds are amazing. My favorite is the barrel cactus garden.

Bill from "Bill's Pizza" catered my wedding! He was such a sweet man to work with from beginning to end. We wanted to have fun food for our guests and tried so many places, Bill's was our top choice and he personally talked to us day in and day out. My wedding was his first and last wedding to cater as he sadly passed away from a roofing accident months later. We had tech issues at my venue from start to finish, but Bill pulled on through and made it as great as possible, my guests loved his pizza. I will truly miss Bill, he was such a warm hearted man with so much love in his heart. Thank you for everything Bill, I'll miss you.

We hiked in the Tahquitz Canyon and it was beautiful.

Awesome! Thank you my husband grew up there and today we are celebrating 16 years of friendship and 9 years of marriage and we are heading to Palm Springs today.

I've lived here since 2005 and still have never been on the tram. Have to actually do that one of these days, haha. Thanks for the nice look at our lovely city. 😊
