This year for our anniversary we drove down to Vegas for the weekend! Mark had never really been other than driving through and even though I wanted to go to Paris we decided Paris in Vegas would have to do for now. We had such a fun time! I took so many pictures!! It felt like we were there forever. We both agreed Vegas is best done in short intervals...one day is about as much of the smoke, alcohol, gambling, half naked girls, and homeless people we can handle! Haha, no but really we are definitely out of our element in Vegas! We just went for the shows and food!
First we checked out the Bellagio, one of my favorite hotels! Inside is like a museum with all the cool things to see!
 |
| His eyes looked all over the room! |
 |
| Oh look, little Harvest creatures :) |
 |
| Beautiful glass blown ceiling! |
I feel like we should hire a paparazzi to come and follow us around and take candid pictures. Those are the best! Where's my mom when you need her? So we tried to take some selfies...
 |
| Look! The Eiffel Tower! |
Next stop...Paris for a delicious buffet!!! My parents highly recommended it and they were right! Best food ever!! And it's as close to Paris as I'm going to get anytime soon!
 |
| Outside the buffet! |
 |
| Random little dumpling place! In Paris?! |
 |
| The line was about 45 minutes long but so worth the wait! |
 |
| Inside the buffet! Looks like Paris at twilight :) |
 |
| First stop? Crepes made to order! |
 |
| Le Jambon & Fromage (Imported Ham, Swiss Cheese, Fresh Basil w/ Bechamel sauce!) DIVINE! |
 |
| Let's see...roast chicken, pork tenderloin, quiche, sweet potatoes, veggies, macaroni w/ truffle sauce, mashed potatoes & a roll! |
We came for brunch so we started with breakfast and then got lunch! HA! And then dessert...my oh my we were stuffed for days!!!
Believe it or not, that's Mark's plate! Mine was the one with everything on it!! I asked him why he didn't get more and he said he needed to cleanse his palate with the salad first. Hahaha
 |
| Creme brulee, raspberry cheesecake, apple pie, macaroons, cream puff and a pastry! Hey I got enough for both of us! |
Then I made Mark get me another crepe! A dessert one this time...
 |
| Le Baies - Raspberries, Blueberries & Strawberries, Powdered Sugar & Whipped cream drizzled w/ Raspberry Coulis! |
 |
| I couldn't even take a bite of that macaroon! Haha! |
 |
| A man and his cream puff... |
After we ate for about three hours we explored more hotels! The Venetian was our favorite!
 |
| Chandeliers for days! |
 |
| All the gondola rowers sang super loud Italian music! So awesome! |
 |
| About to explode from our brunch! |
 |
| Sissy would have died! |
Then we headed back to the hotel to rest up before the show...so much walking! And we had just done Disney with the Hamzawi's two days before. I didn't want to get up until tomorrow morning once we laid on the hotel bed but the show was amazing!!! We saw The Beatles' Love at the Mirage and I had seen it before a long time ago but it was so much better than I remember!
 |
| Waiting for the show to start! |
 |
| Best buds |
After the show we were going to get gelato at the Venetian but didn't feel like facing the crowds at night. So we totally went to Sonic drive-thru! Haha! I love Sonic though...one thing we don't have in LA!
 |
| Hello New York! |
 |
| Vegas at night kind of blows my mind! |
All in all we had a pretty great trip! I wonder where we'll go next year?!
