Early Tuesday morning, a couple of friends and I hopped on a plane and headed out west for a conference in San Francisco. Since one of the three of us had never been, we made a quick stop in Las Vegas...25 hours to be exact!
Okay, so that was the l-o-o-o-n-g-e-s-t day ever!
We arrived absolutely STARVING at about 1:00pm local time (4:00pm our time). We checked in, dropped off our bags, and headed to the closest place that looked fast. We ended up at Margaritaville for what had to have been the best chips, salsa, guacamole and margaritas we have ever had...seriously, it had been since (an extremely early) breakfast that we had eaten!
We explored a bit, taking in the fountains at the Bellagio, before heading back to our room to get ready for dinner at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill.
I ordered the Cornbread Crusted Chile Relleno and it was delish!
After dinner, we explored some more, watching the fountains again at night. In front of the fountains, I racked up some serious "Cool Mommy" points posing with the local Stormtrooper...
Doesn't every city have one of those roaming the streets???
We decided to go back to our hotel for a drink and some late night (our time) snacks. It was only about 8:30pm local time and we were exhausted! BUT, we were determined to make the most of our 25 hours... We ended up at Rao's, which just happens to be a famous little (and I do mean, little) place in New York City.
Once we got our second wind, we headed to PURE, where we ended the night with a little bit of dancing before calling it a night.
Unfortunately, even though it is a fairly famous venue, we had no celebrity sightings. Ha!
The next morning, we got up and headed over to The Conservatory at The Bellagio. This was truly a treat as I had not seen it on my last trip to Las Vegas. We then took a taxi over to The Venetian, which I love, and brunched at Grand Lux Cafe, before heading back over to the airport!
Just a fun girls getaway, on the way to a conference!
