The Week in Pictures: 9.26.08 Vegas Edition!!!

My week was pretty monumental. It’s hard to believe, but spending four days in Vegas changed my life for the better (and didn’t require the cliché vices of gambling, hookers or excessive drinking to be off the charts!)


Gala Darling just made this video of our time in Vegas and it’s pretty awesome! It sums up our stay perfectly!

Last Friday, Gala and I flew from New York to Vegas for the Blogworld Expo. We gained some serious insight and inspiration and met some of our blogging idols in the process, but that deserves another post entirely (coming very soon, promise)!

Some of the highlights during our downtime included:

1. Wandering through the Mirage at 2 a.m., trying on white tiger masks. RAWWWR! (Sigfried and Roy were not spotted).

2. Frequenting all-you-can-eat buffets and mixing a minimum of four nationalities of food.

3. Receiving V.I.P. access to private parties at clubs with crazy chandeliers.

4. Running into a guy wearing a bear suit in the middle of a casino at 3 a.m.


5. Soaking up the sun by our hotel pool (and sneaking back in later to take photos)!

6. Lights & Glitz! Everywhere!

7. Posing next to Kiss (okay, their costumes!) at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Honorable mentions: We consulted a free magazine with Criss Angel on the cover many times and christened it our Criss Angel Bible; limousines; pole dances by drunk monorail passengers; California Pizza Kitchen; massive red slushy drinks at the pool; a cop guarding the all-you-can-eat buffet (!), the NASCAR café, walking miles in ridiculous heels; disco naps; seriously contemplating $1,600.00 handbags; enthusiastic hotel staff and relaxing by the pool after a long weekend of blogging seminars!

    Wow! You’re stay in Vegas looks so amazingly fairy tale like! I usually have such negative thoughts of Vegas as a boring place of casinos and show girls, but maybe I was wrong! I hope to go someday.

    Your photos and videos make me actually consider going to vegas in the future. I am not one to be wowed by gambling and strippers so never considered it a place to actually vacation in. If I had the right friend with me…it could be fun it looks like.

    Gala: You’re my beloved international playgirl! And, such a dreamy travel partner. I adore you!

    Ashley: I think it depends on the company you take with you. Gala and I travel well together and are into the same things, so that’s partly why it was so much fun. Everyone needs to see Vegas at least once!

    Brie: Totally. Give it a try! Vegas is pretty ridiculously over-the-top and that’s part of the fun.

  4. That video is awesome. Edited together well and the music is perfect!
    Looks like you had an interesting time.

    Also agree that first pic is stunning. Pity about the chick in the background :P
