my kind of town

*post written 9/13*

just got back from my first trip ever to las vegas. had so much fun with my boyfriend and best friend while i was there. we went to celebrate my 25th birthday and did it in style. went during the week, which i highly recommend because it isn't as super crowded. not sure how we planned it so well but we went on the one week in september that wasn't super hot- weather was actually quite pleasant. we stayed at the mgm grand which is a very nice hotel but massive. so many places to get lost. we visited other hotels like: new york new york, excalibur, luxor, the stratosphere, ceasar's palace, and (my favorite) the bellagio. so many places to shop, things to see, and great restaurants. the best one by far was wolfgang puck's restaurant at the mgm grand. i think we ate there like 3 times during our trip. the best buffet was for sure at the bellagio where (tip) if you go at 10:30AM you can get both breakfast and lunch foods! the fountains at the bellagio were my favorite sight-seeing thing while i was there. and james and i even got to go to see a cirque du soleil show "o" while in vegas (thanks to my dad). it was mind-blowing and the best show i have ever seen for sure.

you know when i had planned to go to vegas i had people tell me all kinds of things. i was a bit worried before i went that i wasn't going to like it, it would be too touristy, and that it would be dirty and gross. but i was pleasantly surprised. such a wonderful vacation that i will never forget.
