In August, my cute little momma and I took a trip to Vegas for my 21st. It was my first time there, and her second, and we had the greatest time.
We flew Victoria to Seattle, then Seattle to Las Vegas. We landed late on a Monday night, got checked into our hotel, had a drink at the bar in the lobby, then walked over to a Circle K gas station for snacks and drinks to keep in our hotel room. It was late at night but the air was warm and we had the best time just hanging out outside of our hotel having a few drinks.
The next morning, after sleeping in for the first time in months, we made our way to the strip. We mostly just wandered the Venetian on our first day. We had a drink in the Rockhouse Bar, walked around, saw the canal, St. Mark's Square, and took a bunch of photos. Then we headed to CVS, got a couple of drinks, and sat outside in the shade, enjoying the warm breeze.
After sitting around for awhile, we made our way up the strip a bit. We stood and watched the Wynn fountains for probably half an hour. The fountains played to the beat of the music and it was just so entertaining to watch. I think it was one of both of our favourite things on the new strip.
A bit later that night, we had dinner in the diner at our hotel, where our waiters name was Spanky and the staff would break out in song every 15 minutes or so. It was another highlight of our trip, and some of the staff were actually amazing singers!
After dinner, we left our hotel and made our way to the Fremont Street Experience. We ended up staying until the early hours of the morning. I think it was around 3:30 when we headed back to the hotel. We just loved the live music and all the action. We gambled the tiniest bit, made a bunch of friends, and really just enjoyed ourselves.
The next day, we didn't wake up until past noon. We headed to the IHOP near our hotel for breakfast, then lounged around for most of the day with a bit of a hangover. Around 5 PM, we braved leaving our hotel room and headed up the Stratosphere tower. The views from the top were amazing!
Even later that night, after lounging in our room some more, we made our way back to the strip to check out a couple more of the bigger hotels.
The next morning, we would hop on a greyhound to California to reunite with my sister all together for the first time in over 5 years. But that'll be the next post!
Vegas, it was a grand first time. I hope to come back someday.
