One of my friends was in Vegas for the annual CES convention, so I decided to be spontaneous and book a flight out to spend a night with her at the Cosmo. After all, who can turn down free accommodations in Vegas? We squeezed in a lot in the 24 hours that I was there! I got in around 2PM and immediately met up with her at the Venetian hotel. We made our way over to our hotel and squeezed in a quick workout. Well, I actually didn't work out but I did guide my friend through one of my HIIT workouts!
It was a beautiful clear night and the view from our room was breathtaking. I really love a skyline view.
Afterwards, we went to dinner at Scarpetta. We ordered the braised short rib on risotto for an appetizer and shared the lobster pasta, brussels sprouts, and cod. The food was pretty disappointing to be quite honest, but the bomboli dessert was pretty good. Afterward, we headed to the Palms resort up to the penthouse for a private party. I think my friends and I were the only females there. Keeping an open mind, it was actually a really great time meeting her coworkers. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.
Afterwards, I was craving fries so I stopped by Wahlburgers and ordered the Walburger, tator tots and fries. Darn, it wasn't as amazing as I hoped it would be and I paid for eating all that grease the entire next day!
The next day, we ate at Wicked Spoon and oh my gosh, it was the absolute worst! I barely ate my $30 worth. The buffet was just horrible - wasn't it supposed to be one of the best a few years back? No wonder there was no line even at 11AM on a Saturday. I guess you can see the trend by now...we didn't have much luck with food.
Finally, I hit the tables before leaving and lost $80. Boohoo. But, my trip was still worth it because I got to spend quality time with my sweet friends!
