Vegas! Part Deux.

Since Emily and I had a late night on Monday with our dance party at Marquee thanks to Donnie and friends we went down to the Hooter's Restaurant to grab some Chicken Wings for a late Breakfast.  Then we got into our swimsuits and attempted to lay by the pool but the clouds were certainly trying to discourage us, hiding the sun for the most part, and an hour later, completely bundled up in towels we gave up and headed back to the room.  I thought we were in Vegas and it's supposed to be 90 degrees in May!

Date Night!

That night we had Dinner Reservations at Mon Ami Gabi which is at The Paris and our table was outside on the Patio right across from The Bellagio so we had views of the Fountain Show which was awesome!  I ordered the Famous French Onion Soup which was good but on the sweeter side.  My Mom still makes the best!  I got the Scallops while Emily ordered a Steak and we capped it off with an awesome glass of Pinot Noir that had notes of Violet in it.  I couldn't complete our incredible feast without a glass of Sambuca and after Dinner we walked around The Paris, gambled a little, did some people watching, a little window shopping, and even grabbed dessert at one of the pastry shops.  After that we decided to walk down The Strip back towards the New York, New York so we could hit up Coyote Ugly but it was late, we were tired, we had walked nearly a mile in our 5 inch heels so we ended up calling it an early night.  Emily went to bed but I wasn't quite ready to stop my Vegas Vacation even though my feet were begging me to, so I gambled for a little bit and won $40 playing The Wizard of Oz slot machine...hooray!

On Wednesday morning it was back to LA.  Emily and I had an awesome mini-vacay to Las Vegas for a couple of days and it only makes me want to go back again soon!  It's only a tank of gas and 4 hours away, and when you go during the week, the hotels offer awesome deals.  On top of it being an exciting spontaneous trip it was a very affordable so who's coming with me next time?!

Impromptu Vegas Trip!

On Monday morning, Emily and I were in our usual spots on our couches discussing our weekend and chatting about the upcoming week.  As we were talking about our work schedules we both found out that we had Monday and Tuesday off, and neither of us worked until Wednesday evening.  What did that mean?  Vegas!  

The adventurous side of me said yes, but the practical side said there had to be something going on that we couldn't just up and leave.  Spontaneity won and we packed our bags, stopped at the grocery store to pick up some cocktail supplies, snacks, and then we were on the road to Vegas.  We were going to stay at The Flamingo but by the time we called the rate had nearly tripled so we decided to stay at the Hooter's Casino since it was just off The Strip, super affordable, and we were barely going to be spending any time in the room anyway.

Roommates in Vegas!

Once we got to Vegas we poured ourselves some drinks at our makeshift bar in the Hotel Room and got ready for a night out at The Cosmopolitan.  Our first stop was The Chandelier Bar where Emily and I had some delicious specialty cocktails.  Next up was Marquee, thanks to my friend, Donnie, who had a table right by the dance floor.  We had plenty of space to hang out and dance, and what felt like an endless supply of Vodka.

Great music at Marquee!

Emily and I were dancing our Chicken Wings off and I was surprised that I liked the music because I'm not a huge electronic/techno/house music person but the DJ mixed some Top 40's with some Rock & Roll and on top of the confetti dropping from the ceiling and go go dancers, it sure was a party.  We ended up dancing all night and had a blast!

Night One in Vegas = Success :)
