There's nothing like a little trip to Las Vegas on a whim...
On
Monday we went to Wicked Spoon in The Cosmo for Brunch! This buffet
was crazy; it's voted as one of the best buffet's in Las Vegas and it
had something for everyone. Everything is already portioned out so you
can take as many as you like from any of the stands, carts, cuisines,
etc. As you know, my sense of taste was completely gone, so I was
eating as much as I could and imagining what it would taste like. I
knew it all would have been incredible. This restaurant will also be at
the top of my list to visit the next time I'm in Las Vegas. The
options they offered, and the quality of food, was better than anything
I've ever seen. I even tried eating horseradish to get some sense of
taste back but that did not help. It was almost like the Jackass
episode where they feed the guy wasabi and he eventually gets sick. I
was getting to the point where I was so desperate to taste food, I was
eating anything pungent and trying to get something out of it but
nothing worked. Jamie seemed to really enjoy it and they offer a $15
Bottomless Bloody Mary, Mimosa, or Bellini for two hours which I'll
oblige in the next time we visit. Also, you can't skip dessert as there is a whole section designated to it including a Gelato Bar!

After Brunch we
walked from The Cosmo to the other end of the strip to The New York, New
York Casino to seek out another $5 Blackjack Table. We found one with
slightly different rules; they automatically bet for you when you could
Double Down or Split, so no matter what, you wouldn't lose, but the
Dealer also pushed on 22. It still ended up in our favor as Jamie won
back all the money she had lost the day before and while I had gone done
at the table, I came back up. Over the course of our gambling I only
ended up $20 in the hole. Not too bad for at least five or six hours of
gambling over two days! We walked back to The Cosmo to grab my car and decided to
stop at the Secret Pizza Place there and get a slice; one with lots of
garlic for me and I'm sure that would have been great as well.
By
six pm we were ready to head back to LA so we made one stop at the
Outlets at Primm for a little late night shopping. Jamie made out
really well there getting some fabulous deals while I just did a little
browsing. Then we chatted, listened to music, read quotes for the
rest of the long traffic-ridden drive back to Los Angeles arriving around 1 am and so ready for bed!
It was
seriously such a fun trip even though I was sick the entire time. It
was a Ladies Valentine's Day and I couldn't have asked for a better
date! We had great food, a blast gambling, a beautiful room, and of
course, each other to laugh with. It's a trip to Vegas that's still
chill but super fun that makes me really excited to go back sooner
rather than later :)
