I wasn’t sure how to put everything in one post. There is too much to cover! I still have post from weeks back I need to write up. I’m going to take it day by day and post as much as I can. I apologize for the order or post, but that is what happens when you get behind! And when you are still in a Vegas coma, words are much harder to get out!
I woke up at 3 am Detroit time on Thursday to get ready for our flight to Vegas. I was so excited. I could hardly sleep. I couldn’t even sleep on the plane! I bought a couple magazines to keep me entertained. If you haven’t read the new Food Network Magazine for October…you’re missing out! The new Fitness Magazine is alright, but way 75% advertisements….
We stopped in Denver Colorado for a couple hours before getting on the flight to Vegas. I had a cup of coffee and trail mix from Caribou to give me a little energy boost.
We arrived in Las Vegas 11 am Vegas time. I was so ready to run up to the room and start the day! I think Vegas pumps oxygen into the air. I slept a total of 9 hours the entire trip and never felt extremely tired.
Jeremy and I stopped and ate lunch at the hotel’s buffet. Our group wasn’t going to be here for a couple more hours so we had time to kill. We were also hungry because of the time differences!
(I had fruit, shrimp and cucumber salad, salmon, and roasted vegetables)
After lunch we walked around Fremont Street. Jeremy and I usually stay on the main strip, so staying on Fremont Street was new and exciting. We lucked out, too! When we booked our room, there were only Rush Tower Suites left. Since everyone was staying at the Golden Nugget, we had to suck it up and reserve the suite. We had access to all the V.I.P lounges, the spa, and had complimentary service. They even left chocolates on our pillows at night. I’m glad we didn’t stay on the strip because of all the I Heart Radio madness! Fun fact about me; I don’t like concerts unless it’s country.
Our room had a gorgeous bathroom, a couch, and a kick ass view! I could live here!
Our room also came with a Keurig! Woo hoo!
I loved the style of the hotel. I’d definitely model my home after it.
Usually hotels charge you an arm and leg for the Fiji water…not in our room! It was complimentary. You better believe I guzzled them down!
Around five we went down to the lobby to meet the group and go out for the night! I wore my really old dress from express and dressed it up with gold accents. You can kind of tell my eyes wanted to sleep but my mind wanted to go hard! I tell you; it’s the oxygen in the air!
We had dinner at the D diner and sat around for a several hours cracking up and driving everyone else in the restaurant crazy, but, hey! It’s Vegas.
(I ordered the shrimp Caesar salad!)
After dinner we hung out around Fremont street going in and out of casinos, playing blackjack, and dancing! The night was low key, but incredibly fun!
Our Suite had an AWESOME snack bar! When I got back to the room I snacked on some nuts, chocolate covered raisins, and peanut m&m’s. I was ready for bed because the next day had an early start!
