Weekend Outing: Las Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







This past weekend I had the BEST time in Vegas for my good friend DeeDee's Birthday!! I mean, I've been on lots of trips and I can tell you it's not too often that a group of females can hang out for days straight and have not 1 arguement, 1 money issue, or 1 cry baby out the bunch and just have complete FUN!!!! That's exactly what this trip was about.

I was the last to arrive on Thursday night so I missed all the first day fun! :(

The ladies took a limo ride over to the beautiful Palazzo Hotel and had diner at Lavo restaurant. It's an Italian restarant that was created by the people that brought us Tao (so you know it's on point!) . I heard about this darn meal for the rest of the trip!! It must of been really good. Lavo is definitely a must visit during my next Vegas trip.
I see yall Players!

Hey Birthday girl!!







When I finally landed in Sin City it was a matter of running to the room, changing and meeting the group over at club TRYST in the Wynn.


That spot is Huge!! and really pretty inside. Part of the club is outdoors and theres a gorgeous waterfall.... perfect for picture taking lol



On Friday we got up nice and early and visited the indoor pool at our hotel. (NO pool pics yet)Vegas was COLD so any outdoor pool action was NOT happening! After a nice swim we changed and headed to this cute little Burger spot downstairs from our hotel called Grind Burger!



YUMMY!!! No seriously!!, the BEST!


Better believe all the Lemonades on the table are SPIKED!! (hey, when in Vegas!....) lol





After lunch we went over to Caesar's Palace for some Gambling!! Miss Rashida over here was getting it at the 3 card Poker table! She even got a chain from one of the dealers! Now that's Major!




While at Caesars we got some reduced tickets to the Eiffel Tower ride over at Paris Hotel so we headed there next and had a ball the whole way there...


The "ride" itself is super WAK!! I'm so glad we didn't pay full price for it. And it's literally an Elevator ride lmao! But you know us, we can make anything fun! It was kicks and giggles the whole time with these girls!



...and here's the view from the TOP!




Next we headed to Tao at the Venetian for dinner! This is my favorite spot in Vegas!


They brought out a gigantic Fortune Cookie dessert for the Bday girl. This was delicious and really cute... there were fortune cookies for everyone at the table! I don't remember what mine said but I remember really liking it... IDK or maybe it was the drinks! LOL ;)








My favorite dish at Tao are their steamed shrimp dumplings!











Look at my homegirl Vanessa fronting like she knows how to use chopsticks! :D jk!


and here I am acting like I don't have any home training lmao!!



So.... do you remember those spiked lemonades we had earlier plus the casino drinks and the drinks at Tao! Yeah..... so lots of drinks all day long = NOT making it to the club that night!



LMAO! WHYYY does this happen to me every trip smdh!



Well... since we were all really well rested from collapsing at like 10pm Friday night, the ladies and I all woke up at about 6am Saturday morning and just had a good old fashioned girl talk session for hours on end. I must admit that this might have been the best part of the trip to me!



We shared thoughts and advice with each other and just lended an ear to some and words of support to others! There was so much love in the room it was beautiful!!



(No PICS!!! this was super EXCLUSIVE!! -- not to mention I'm not putting up morning face shots on here hahaha!)



So anyway, we decided to head out to the MGM for some more gambling and fun to start our day. After finding a teriffic shoe store (that we stayed in forever) we hit up the casino and I won't say any names but lets just say someone whose named after a princess hit a BIG number and won LOTS of money!!! :D WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!





I, myself never witnessed someone win that much that fast before. NOW I see why people can have false hopes and spend their savings away thinking that their next hand will be that lucky one. Must be NICE!!! ;)



After some gambling we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant in the MGM called Pearl.




the General Tao's Chicken was the TRUTH!!


Schrimp in Chilli SauceShrimp & Scallop




Good old Fried rice



Crispy Garlic Chicken... The garlic spread comes on the side so you get to moderate how intense the flavoring is... this was really good!




The Honey Barbecue Glazed Spare Rib didn't last on the table long enough to get a pic lol it was THAT good!!

Fire Roast Mongolian Beef



Crisp-Fried Spider Prawn Dumpling(s) (there were more I swear lol)





After we ate we took it back to the room and got ready to make up for our missed night of FUN and our last night in Vegas!!!












OK Ladies we're ALL looking lovely!! Let's hit it!
and we're OFF!!









This guy was shouting out to everyone that he just turned 21! He was soo happy!!!! :)

and I would have been doing the same!! lol Go head boy!
Last weekend also happened to be the big UFC match where fan favorite Kimbo Slice beat out Houston Alexander by a unanimous decision in the 3rd round! I definitely sat that's more reason to celebrate!!





and of course it wouldn't be an official trip to Sin City without..... *singing* SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! :D


Happy Bday honey!! I love you girl!
