2015 Girl's Vegas Trip

Last month I went on a girl's trip to Last Vegas with 2 of my good friends, Stephanie and Courtney.  Our last girl's trip was 4 years ago, so we were all due for one.  The last time we went we had 2 kids between the 3 of us and now we have 7!  So lot's has changed.

Court and I started off with Mimosa's at the airport.  And don't mind the chips, apparently you can't purchase alcohol before noon on Sunday if you don't purchase food as well.
Court and I flew out Sunday morning and we met Steph in Vegas around noon.  It was nice having a good chunk of the day left once we got there.  Since we couldn't check into our hotel (Paris) yet, we had them store our luggage and then headed off to the Wynn to pick up our show tickets for that night.  We stopped and grabbed some lunch too before heading back to Paris to check in and change for dinner.


We ate at a tapas restaurant called Firefly.  It was really yummy.  It was off the strip, but not far at all and it was much cheaper than most restaurants on the strip.  After dinner we caught a cab back to the Wynn to see Le Reve.  It was a neat show.  It reminded me of a Cirque show. . it was an acrobatic show mostly done in water.






After the show we finally found some time to hit the casino.  We spent some time at the craps and blackjack tables before calling it a night.

The view from our room.


Monday morning we were up early and went to breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi.  This is one of my favorites and one that we repeated from our last girl's trip.  We had no plans this day except dinner reservations at 7:00.  We were a little worried with how we would fill up our day, but after finding some $5 blackjack and craps tables and stopping for lunch, it was dinner time before we knew it.



Court and Steph rode the mechanical bull at the restaurant we ate lunch in.



That night we had dinner reservations at Giada's.  It's Giada De Laurentiis' restaurant.  It was really yummy and we had an awesome view.  The only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was how much Giada is promoted.  We went because of who she was, but we didn't need to see her name and face all over the place.




After hitting the tables again that night and all losing some money, we called it a night.  We got a little bit more gambling in on Tuesday morning before heading back home.  All in all, no one won big, but I don't think any of us lost big either.  So I'd call that a win.  It was a quick trip, but just what we all needed.  I can't wait until our next girl's trip!
