The other day, I wrote about how you can turn the hotel TV into your own entertainment display. One of the main ways I am able to do that while on the road is by using my Google Chromecast to “cast” my media from my computer/phone/tablet to the small device that just plugs into the back of the TV. Thanks to the USB cable that plugs into the USB port on the back of most TVs, you don’t even need to worry about finding another outlet (which can be next to impossible in a hotel near the TV anyway.
To help out my fellow travelers, I wanted to have another giveaway, this time for the Google Chromecast. This does not have to be only used at hotels, of course. This is the perfect little device to use at home or anywhere – it slips right into any type of case you might be carrying. I know I really like mine and I am sure that one of my readers would be able to put it to good use.
As a plus, you will also receive 90 days of unlimited music from Google Play. That normally costs $9.99 per month, so that is like getting another $30 deal for free with this giveaway!
Here are the rules:
- The giveaway will end at 11:59PM EST Sunday (August 17)
- You may enter once per person per day
- Your comment can be anything you like – but it must be family friendly!
- You must live in the US
- The winner will be randomly drawn, courtesy of Random.org
- I will post on Monday who the winner was
Good luck and thanks for reading!
Note: If you do not see your comment posted right away, please just give it a few hours. I am seven hours ahead of EST and may not be up to approve your comment immediately. 🙂
I’ve wanted one of these for a while. Does anybody recommend?
I am a new reader of the blog, and I love it for the info it provides to me. The blog covers things other travel blogs don’t. Thanks!
One of these would be great for my travels
I am a newbie in collecting points and miles and really love your blog and became a subscriber and bookmarked it for my daily reading, hope to learn more from you!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Everyone agrees I should win this.
I look forward to when hotels have smart TVs with hulu, netflix, hbo go, etc built in, and allow you to login if you have those services.
Thank you – nice to have for an upcoming trip.
Why does snoop dog need an umbrella? ‘fo drizzle! 🙂
Yep, gave one away for Christmas last year – but don’t have one myself. Had to watch them playing with the rest of the day. Would be nice to get one of my own …
Now this is information that can help me. Thanks for all of the great posts!
This would be great to have.
Love the blog!
This would be great for my upcoming trip.
Love to try this product. Thanks.
I think I need a compatible phone too? Not all android phones can mirror to tv, right?
It requires Android 2.3 or higher.
I can try these on my upcoming trip to italy, prague, japan, korea, and maldives
Great idea for a giveaway!
It will be a great addition to our two night bike trips in New England and staying in small hotels or b&bs
I’ve been wanting to check this out for a while. I hope I win!
It would be great to try out this intriguing gadget.
Cool giveaway. Thanks!
Would be great to try chromecast on my next trip!
I would love to try it.
Thanks!
I would like to nominate myself to win.
I would love one for travel!
Would love to try with my netflix account!
Great suggestion for being able to watch movies/saved shows while on the road. Would love to win.
Awesome giveaway, thanks!
Whenever I’m at a hotel overseas, I would use my computer to VPN back into my network in the States to watch WatchESPN. With the ChromeCast, I can project that onto a TV! That would be a sweet & nifty thing to do. Oh, the possibilities. 😀
This would come in very handy after reading your post on hotel TV’s.
The Chromecast should be useful while traveling.
Thanks for the chance.
Thanks
Wow – very timely. I just went shopping today and saw Chromecast. I did not buy yet because my blu-ray player comes with apps, but it can’t project whatever I have on my laptop my screen onto the TV (which is the desired functionality). So I was debating whether to get it. Since my blu-ray already does more than half of it already, I was thinking it would be a wasteful purchase, but I was also thinking it is a much cheaper option than buying an Apple TV! Yeah, I know, first world tech problems…
I’ve heard of Chromecast but I didn’t know what it was. Thanks for sharing!
This device would be super for our trip to DC.
I’ve been wanting one of these for a while.
Would love one!
Sounds like a cool device from a cool blog.

Wow, this beats me having to cart around a Roku on vacation. Okay, I’m just kidding. I don’t do that…anymore.
I would love to try this, thanks!
Sounds like a neat gadget! Love to try it out.
Chromecast + hotel TV sounds perfect!
