Vegas Baby!

This trip was a gift to myself and my stepdaughter from my SO.

I like buffets, I like bright lights, I like the Backstreet Boys...and that is why I went to Vegas!

Sounds simplistic?

So wanted to treat us to a trip....Vero and I both love the BSB...they have a residency in Vegas...

You do the math!

we walked over 125,000 steps, visited 24 casinos/hotels/malls.....some awesome, some ew...just ew

we ate at celebrity chefs restaurants....and some rock bottom dives.

Tip no 1:

Pick your hotel as close to the strip as you can. You can find really cheap rooms...but you need to commute. The farther from the strip...the sketchier

We stayed at the Cosmopolitain. I don't remember how we picked this hotel....but it was perfect for us.

We had a terrific view of the Bellagio fountains...and that is one of the best show in Vegas!

 Check in the internet for showtimes.
the fountains are synchronized with music!


 I had never slept in a bed so plush...it was firm and mushy at the same time!

 Double sinks! What is not to love?

 I would not have this in my house but it was pretty 
WOW in an hotel bathroom!

Tip no 2: Bring comfortable shoes!

we not only saw a lot of women teetering on high heels...but we also saw LOADED women
trying not to fall off those crazy heels while under the influence....

Yes you can drink everywhere in Vegas...the drugstores are opened 24/7 selling booze...
and people drink on the street.
I am not being a prude but this is not something I normally see.
In my neighborhood what you see is people smoking doobies....

Until next time and more Vegas tidbits....

My oldest daughter took me to Vegas a few years ago and it was quite the experience. We stayed at the Mirage and then changed to the Paris hotel for Mother's Day weekend. It was fabulous. I think the Bellagio fountains were one of my favorite things in Vegas for sure.

Ah Vegas, I haven't been back in about 10 years but it is fun!
