ceiling at the bellagio lobby. I love walking through their lobby and The Wynn!
I hope you all had a great {superbowl} weekend!
We were in Las Vegas through Monday,
so now I am preparing to detox for the next few days!
big time.
It was such a fun trip – probably my most fun Vegas trip to date!!
We flew out at 8:30 Friday morning and WOW did everyone on our flight get after it.
Kip and myself not included.
It amazes me how much alcohol people can throw back before 9 AM!
Our flight ran out of vodka less than 2 hours in!
In all honesty it was truly impressive and made me feel bad about myself that theres no way I could ever do that for 4.5 hours and then get off the airplane at 10 AM local time ALIVE.
The flight attendants made all of these pretzel crowns and sashes and were handing them out with bottles of champagne to people who had 21st and 30th birthdays.
Gotta love Southwest.
Kip had to go straight to the office from the airport,
so I went and got us checked in at The Cosmpolitan.
I had never stayed at The Cosmo and I absolutely LOVED it.
Our room was super nice and very ….sexy is really the only way to say it?
I mean….. floor to ceiling mirrors in front of the beds and then a huge window to look into the shower (and so you can look out at the view from the shower….)
I was very proud of myself for delaying an immediate cocktail and instead squeezed in a workout at the hotel while I waited for Anne and Alan’s flight to get in.
It was pretty much the last of my healthy choices, but at least I did it.
Then we met up and headed for some lunch!
We headed down to Holstein’s Burger Restaurant on the second floor.
It was insanely delicious.
They do these big boozy milkshakes that looked crazy good, but we just did burgers and some vino.
Then Alan headed to work,
so Annie and I wandered around a little bit and went across the street to Planet Hollywood and in search of some shoes.
Right when we walked into the Casino, what do I see but this:
THE EARL OF SANDWICH!
Kip and I love Javier’s so we walked next door The Aria and sat at the bar for some steak fajitas and queso fundido, and some yummy Jalapeno margaritas.

After dinner we met up with Anne and Alan after their work event.
Their room was this huge corner suite with a wrap around balcony on two sides.
It was INCREDIBLE.
I have never seen Vegas from a view like that!
We went out and painted the town and then hung out at the Chandelier Bar.
The next morning we recovered with breakfast from Eggslut on the balcony.
let me tell you….. Eggslut is NO. JOKE.
this breakfast sandwich was heaven.
We had some juice to help kick the hangover as well and then headed out to walk around the strip and do some shopping.
My uber driver to the hotel had told me about a secret pizza place on the 3rd floor of The Cosmo.
It wasnt’ quite as secretive as I had thought – you can find the hallway fairly easily – but the pizza was incredible and a great quick + inexpensive meal or snack (or late night indulgence!)
Saturday night we headed over to Absinthe at Caesar’s Palace.
Absinthe is truly the greatest show I have ever seen.
It is insanely inappropriate humor – if you are easily offended, stay far FAR away.
We all laughed so hard that we cried.
On top of all of that, the acrobatics and the stunts/acts that they do are mind blowing. They are all so talented and their bodies were insane. I don’t know how they did the things that they were doing.
I can’t recommend the show enough!!

We went to The Foundation Room after for the night
AND GUESS WHO OUR BOTTLE SERVICE GIRL WAS.
So much for being a Doula???
She is much shorter in person than I would have thought and my sister is the one that actually recognized her right off the bat.
She looked a lot prettier in person too.
So it was a perfect “celeb” sighting for my Coffee-Talk-crazy-self.
The views from The Foundation Room are amazing!!
Sunday was game day!
I recommend China Poblano at The Cosmo for good casual bite too!
it’s a combination of Mexican and Chinese food and it makes no sense but we liked it.
I wore red + black for the game.
// FEATHER HEM TANK // WHITE JEANS //
We parked up at The Henry bar in The Cosmo while Anne and Alan had a work party at STK.
The game obviously did not turn out as we had hoped, but we had a good time.
We went to Milos for dinner later that night and hung out at The Chandelier Bar before crashing early.
By the 3rd night we all were kind of exhausted!!
Surprisngly I think I packed perfectly for the weekend.
Thank GOD I packed the Tory Burch Sandals last minute because my feet were so swollen and blistered that they were the only things I could wear during the day.
We did over 17,000 steps Friday and Saturday. Lord.
I added another 2-3 tops than this, but keeping it all in the same color scheme made it very easy. It was actually the lightest my suitcase has ever been.
Off to detox…. barely made it through my spin class this AM : /
This week is going to be rough, but worth it!
I am loving that you had a run in with someone from the Bachelor – too perfect for you!! Such a fun weekend away – I haven't been to vegas in a few years, but I dont know if I can hang! xo, Biana
Haha it was the perfect sighting for me 🙂 What I love about Vegas is there's something for everyone – I am much more tame now than I used to be and have just as much or more fun! You can always do amazing shows and fancy dinners and shopping 🙂
xo
your trip sounds amazing!! Love that chandelier bar and omg absinthe was the greatest! I want to go again! I need to know where / how I can get your sunnies??
Thanks Christine! Wasnt absinthe so great!? I saw it 3 or 4 years ago and it was even 10x better this time with totally different acts!
