Travels (#2) Destination: Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas.
The song that came out around this time fittingly:

I had no real desire to go to Vegas. I didn't gamble. 
But we decided, hey what the heck.
 What brought us all the way out here? 

His cousin's wedding.  
We.
Had.
A.
Ball.
As I type this, I am wondering when we can go back!
 We stayed at The Bellagio
Shopped at the forum shops at Caesar's Palace


 ~The Fontana Bar~
 Order a Bellini when you go!
 We rented a car & drove up through the mountains

 All dressed up to go to PURE

Overview:
  • We would totally stay at Bellagio again {and have!!}
  • Learn how to play Black Jack--it's so fun!
  • I was told to play the slots at your own hotel, you always seem to get lucky = TRUE
  • Eat at Mon Ami Gabi {their oysters are killer}
  • Eat at Emerills in MGM {order the dry aged steak & garlic mashed mm}
  • If you like hot/spicy food eat at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill {ceviche was amazing}
  • The ambiance of Yellow Tail sushi in Bellagio was great, but we spent $$$$ and left hungry
  • If you like sushi go to Caesar's and eat at Hyakumi-great sushi & value
  • Dress to impress, everyone looks fab all the time, or you look like tourist {which I hate looking like!}
  • We wouldn't rent a car again, just use the taxis
  • You can drink while you shop = trouble/fun!!
  • Studio 54 Nightclub was fun & so was PURE
  • Apparently Bellagio is re-doing Fontana Bar, so now it will be Hyde 
  • We shopped. We ate. We danced. We drank. We gambled. We relaxed by the pool. It really is an adult playground and loved it so much, returned the following year.
Can't get to Vegas right away?
At least make a Bellini! xox
   
Travel Date:  August 2008 {oh yeah, temps 100+}

Today I'm thankful for unconditional love, from those special people in our lives.
Tomorrow onto Mexico!

  2. Vegas is a blast! I used to live in California, and we'd go there about 4 times a year since it wasn't too long of a drive. LOVE IT!
