Charlie and I just got back from Vegas yesterday. It was another fabulous time in Sin city!! I went there for the WPPI conference, and it so happened that Charlie’s co-workers were going there this weekend as well, so we decided to go a day early and meet up with them on Saturday. We went to the club Haze at Aria…..and that night I realized how old I was and how out of place I was. It was fun to check the place out, but after awhile, I realized that clubbing was not my thing anymore. But the girls from Charlie’s office were a lot of fun, and it was fun to pretend I was in my 20’s again
On our drive up to Vegas, Charlie and I were talking about how everyone does Vegas their own way. And after going there for the past 9 years, together, we definitely have a routine now. Mainly it’s all about eating, we have to eat at all our favorite spots, so that we are satisfied with our trip. First stop is the Mad Greek in Baker, where they have very yummy gyros, and make sure you ask for the pickles too. Afterwards, we would stop by the outlets in Primm, to do some shopping. This weekend I scored some cute boots from Nine West and also a cute wristlet from Coach (cuz mine literally broke that day….and I didn’t do it on purpose either.) Another stop we must do, is have breakfast at the La Creperie in the Paris Hotel. We always get the St. Louis, which is ham and cheese with the bechamel sauce and the D’anjou crepe which has the pears and walnuts topped with whip cream….quite a treat!! Finally our favorite buffet to go to is at the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Casino. It’s way off the strip but it’s so worth it. We just recently discovered this place when we went with our friends a couple of years ago. We like it mainly because they stir fry your crab and shrimp for you in a spicy, garlic, basil, butter and whatever they put in there that make it a delish sauce. Everything else is good too, but that really is the best part. So those are all our favorite food spots, it just doesn’t feel the same when we don’t stop at all those places.
On Monday, Kim and I went to the WPPI tradeshow. It was fun to check out all the new stuff that was coming out. I’m excited to add some new products to my business and also purchase some new equipment…..better save my pennies
It was a fun getaway with the hub and friends rolled into a business trip…..Vegas is always a fun break from reality.
