48 HOURS IN VEGAS

Surprise blog post!  Today is December 25 and Merry Christmas to all or Happy Holidays to everyone.   I wanted to post this blog back in September, but had to move it.  I wanted to push other blog posts first.  ANYWAY, back in August, my best childhood friends and I met up in Vegas for 48 hours. We had so much fun and caught up with each other.  One lives in Asia and the other lives in Canada.   Those 48 hours are probably one of the best highlights of my year.   Click the link read more below for more!!!

I love this Vegas sign so much I took a selfie but my selfie didn't turn out well.

mon ami gabi dinner with my crew

Mon Ami Gabi is at the Paris Hotel in Vegas.  Its French inspired menu was fantastic. I ordered the salmon with beans and sauce.  We were also watching the Bellagio fountains from the patio.  Talk about two birds in one stone.  There were a plethora of people walking and it was crowded to the nth degree.

VEGAS IS THE PLACE FOR ENTERTAINMENT. YOU LIKE FOOD, CHECK.  CONCERTS, CHECK, CLUBS, CHECK. WHATEVER ENTERTAINMENT YOU WANT, YOU CAN GET. 

we had in and out first

Ok my friends and I stayed just off the strip--In this little apartment/hotel type of lodging.  It's kind of a walking distance to the strip.  So we walked for 20 minutes under the desert heat and I was surprised we arrived at in and out alive! Needless to say, we munched a lot and boy, we were parched!

SHOPPING IN VEGAS IS THE BEST. MY FAVORITE SHOPS TO VISIT ARE THE FORUM SHOPS, THE SOUTH PREMIUM OUTLETS, FASHION SHOW AND MORE.

New York New York is one of my favorite themed hotels in Vegas. The ground floor is fantastic

walking the strip was exhausting so I had to take a break by this statue.

This post has been ready to go since September so I'm so happy I was able to post this.  I've been to Vegas a few times in the past but this is the best experience because I went with my childhood best friends.  We still talk everyday and have our group chat blowing up everyday.  Until next time, Vegas.. hint hint F1?  :)
