Went to Las Vegas this past week to celebrate my 25th birthday. I was extremely excited, not only did I desperately need a mini vacation, but I was going to celebrate my birthday with a group of my favorite girls. Needless to say... this weekend was filled with tons of fun, lots to drink, dancing, and of course, lots of yummy food....
I have been to Las Vegas at least 15-20 times in the past 4 years, but every time I have been there, I have NEVER past by, or even thought of going by the famous Las Vegas sign. I went with a good friend of mine to run a quick errand, and she was determined to get a photo of the sign afterward.
Cherry Vodka --->
We all drove in right after work on friday, so we didn't get to Vegas till a little after 12:30am. As soon as we got there, we got ready for a long night of dancing and drinks...
The next day we were all a bit hungover, and a whole lotta hungry, so we went to the new buffet at the M Hotel, which was about 20 minutes off the strip. Overall I enjoyed my food, and it didn't hurt that the price (Seafood Buffet for $29.95) included endless beer on tap and wine.
<--- Caesar Salad with some cherry tomatoes
Shrimp Cocktail ----->
The standard shrimp cocktail with cocktail sauce, except the M Hotel's sauce had a bit more horseradish in it, which gave it a big bite towards the end
<---- King Crab Legs
so much work, but totally worth my time.. I mean half the fun is digging for the sweet meat, and cracking the shells open
Mac and Cheese ------>
After a long night of dancing, this is exactly what I needed the next day to refuel my body.. so luscious, creamy and cheesy, it was very good considering it came from a buffet. However, nothing and I mean nothing, can beat The Slide Bar in Fullerton, Mac and Cheese. The Best Mac and Cheese ever, but that's another blog entry.
<----Amber Rose Root Beer on tap
I had to wash all this delious food down with some amazing root beer. This root beer was on tap and exactly what I needed for my soda fix. It was smooth, full of flavor and totally refreshing, just like a wonderful beer.
Chocolate Mousse and Creme Brulee ----->
The chocolate mousse is for chocolate lovers.. I love chocolate, but this mousse was too sweet for me.
The creme brulee was amazing! It was creamy, loaded with tons of vanilla, and the crystallized/torched sugar on top was awesome.
<----- Carrot Cake with the M Hotel logo on Chocolate
cream cheese frosting and carrot cake... yummy...
I ran an errand with a girlfriend of mine while out in Vegas. She kept telling me of this chicken joint called Raising Cane that had super yummy sweet tea. She bought 3 jugs of sweet tea to take home, and it was pretty good. A little too sweet for me, so I ended up diluting my cup a little bit, then it was just right. Next time I am in Vegas, I will go back and actually sit down and try the chicken.
On the way back to the hotel (we stayed at the Palazzo, which I highly recommend everyone to stay at least once, it's perfect if your party is 8-10 people, you can all fit comfortably in one room/suite) I played around with my camera, and used the silhouette function for this photo.
Lastly, I leave a photo of just a small glimpse of what this past weekend looked like. I love to Dance!
