Viva Las Vegas!

We spent the last few days in Las Vegas with my best friend from high school & her husband celebrating our 30th birthdays. It was my first time in Vegas & definitely lived up to the hype!!

When we got in, we were so tired from the time change & early flight, that the first thing we did, was nap! 😉 I’m not even embarrassed to admit it. That evening we went to dinner at Olives, recommended by another friend, and had an amazing view of the Bellagio fountains. The experience was so fun & entertaining, and the food was amazing too!  Friday, we spent the morning checking out the area, grabbed an early lunch & then went to the pool. The pools in Vegas are amazing, and we probably would have spent our entire trip there if it hadn’t rained so much. But we did get one day of sunshine & poolside margaritas!! My swimsuit is this ruffle bandeau in stripes from Victoria’s Secret, I loved it so much!! In the late afternoon we went to the Stratosphere to get the best view of the strip & go on the rides, which I definitely wouldn’t have probably agreed to before those margaritas! 😉 Then went out on the strip for dinner & drinks, to round out what felt like a 36 hour long day.

What happens in Vegas… is hangovers.

Saturday we had brunch at the Hash House, and had their famous chicken & waffles, then headed to Fremont Street. I loved this area, it has a totally different vibe than the strip, and has so many charming restaurants & pubs. It rained most of the morning but then cleared up & was the perfect overcast afternoon for walking around. We went to Container Park, which is another super fun spot, did some beer tasting & had lunch in one of the little rooftop cafes. Saturday night, we went to see Eric Church at the Hard Rock, which was INCREDIBLE. I have wanted to see him in concert forever, he is our favorite & we were sooo excited to find out that he was going to be there while we were in town. He puts on such an amazing show, we definitely didn’t want it to end!!

We also had the pleasure of visiting the Rent the Runway store at the Cosmopolitan, and spent the morning trying on dresses which was so much fun!! I will share more about our trip there & some of my favorite dresses, but ultimately I chose this Cynthia Rowley romper, I loved the long sleeves & the way it fit. If you’re thinking of renting this for an event or a night out, you can get $20 off your first rental, which brings this to only $30! And bonus, it has pockets!! I loved it & would totally rent this again!
Vegas was an amazing time, definitely enough fun to make me realize I can’t hang like I used to! 😉 At the end of the day, we couldn’t be happier to be back home though. A kid free vacation was much needed, but made us feel extra grateful to have our babies to come home to. 
Now just working on my recovery. Wishing you all a happy week ahead! XO

    Oh my gosh, this is too fun. As a Vegas local, I always get a kick out of seeing where people go when they come here to vacation. Freemont is a total blast and Container Park is definitely a place locals enjoy, too. There's more culture there than The Strip. 😉 Symphony Park is also fabulous and has a great children's museum if Vegas + kids ever happened in the future for ya'll. Lake Las Vegas is also a great place to check out and stay at if you want a vaca free from The Strip's nightlife. <3

    VEGAS!!!! My very favorite place in the world! Hub and I used to go every single year before we had babies and I miss it so much! I think we're going to try to go next year for our anniversary! I'm sure a lot has changed in five years since we've been there.

    I've been all over the West coast, but never to Vegas. I'm now determined to get there and see Britney before she's done. Go ahead, make fun… unless you want in? 😉

    I've been to Vegas about 1/2 dozen times. At 37, I can't hang ….. I'm a "I'd rather be in the hotel & in bed by 10".
