Las Vegas Girly Trip

My dear friend, Ilena, and I try to take a girly trip every 2 years or so.  This time we went back to Las Vegas.  We've been there twice already together and liked it... so we went again.  Here are some of the highlights.

This is an extremely large (as in bigger than my head) Rueben Sandwich from The Carnegie Deli in the Mirage.  We had to pace ourselves because we shared a piece of their cheesecake the night before and wanted to come back for a sandwich.  We shared this one, but really it could feed a family of four.  The pastrami was excellent! Check Ilena's blog for a picture of me with the Reuben for scale.

Then, of course, we had to see the conservatory at the Bellagio.

Scale model of the Bellagio complete with miniature working fountains...

This low mossy flower bed had water shooting in arcs that was timed to music.  I took about 30 pictures before I was able to really catch what the water was doing.

Gratuitous flower shot....

This is the biggest chocolate fountain that I have ever seen! It has milk, white, and dark chocolate flowing down in three separate waterfalls.

The glass was really thick... so no chance of sampling.

Acres of pastries....

We had a wonderful time and spent a half a day at the spa at Paris getting scrubbed, massaged, and our toes and fingers painted... then it was off to the pool for some R&R, reading, and general laying about.

We went to The Beatles Love. Which was amazing! The stage and the costumes and the music... it was all just beautiful. We were on the edge of our seats! We wanted to see Criss Angel's Believe but they pushed out the preview date... so it will have to wait.... but the costumes are amazing...






Definitely a must see next time I'm down there.
