Travel: Las Vegas - Grand Lux Cafe

I think it's mainly because we're too lazy to leave the casino the majority of the time, but we end up eating at the Grand Lux Cafe if we're staying at the Venetian or at Palazzo at least once a trip. This here is their gnocchi with asparagus and breaded chicken. It was actually rather bland. :/

Ok, for reals, this will be my last post this week. :( See you all next week!

Travel: Las Vegas - Palazzo (Maybe For the Last Time?)

This weekend, B and I stayed at the Palazzo again. I still love their suites and we had a great view this time. Not only did we see the pool but we got to see the fireworks from Treasure Island's nightly show.

Above is the new display near the waterfall. Their fall theme included a lot of giant orange leaves and barrels filled with grapes. I wonder what's in store for winter.

We met up with G, E, and B. Although we did take in a show, it was fun seeing "local Vegas" (aka not so touristy places). Our only mistake was going to Fremont when there was some D-list celebrity making an appearance that caused foot traffic to halt to a standstill and a fight to break out right in front of me. :(

E and B offered to put us up at their place for future visits, but I think I'll be moving down the strip for my next trip though. There are plenty of 5-star resorts down on the other end. ;)

Travel: Las Vegas (Palazzo)

If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll probably not be surprised to hear that we did a 24-hour trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Palazzo this time. I think I've finished doing a world tour of 5-star hotels/resorts on the mid- to northern end of Las Vegas Blvd. Nothing really to report; the rooms are identical to those at the Venetian and there's even a Grand Lux Cafe on the casino level as well. It's SO EASY to get lost in the hotel corridors though, as the signs aren't strategically placed or conspicuous. I even had to be escorted out by the staff a couple times just to get out of the maze! The shopping area is high-end, so, if that doesn't work for you, step on over to the Venetian's side, since they're connected to each other.

Other itinerary notes: I brunched at the Wynn again. Love them eclairs.
