Weekend in Vegas

This weekend I went to Vegas!!! It was a blast. A big group of friends were planning on going, but I didn't think Ben and I would be able to make the trip. Ben had paid for the trip for us, and I got to surprise my sister by coming out and spending some time with her. It was so much fun!
The first day there, the 2 of us went our separate way from the group and got some shopping in! We found an amazing crepe place at the Bellagio.


They had this amazing running chocolate fountain!

I think the look on my face tells you how excited I was!

That night we hit up SeaBlue in the MGM Hotel. We watched some basketball and enjoyed lobster corn-dogs. They were pretty good!

The next day I hit up a restaurant in Palace Station with my sister's friends from Cali, Tina and Eric. We enjoyed a seafood pan roast....it's kind of like a seafood stew served with rice. It was delicious!!

After lunch, Tina took us to get an Asian tea. The bottom of the tea has tapioca pearls in it. You suck them up as you drink the tea! It's a weird sensation!! The pearls are kind of like tasteless gummy bears.

That night a bunch of us went and had dinner at Margaritaville.

The next morning we went to breakfast at Hash House A Go Go. It was absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend it to anyone! It's been featured on several tv shows. I love breakfast so I was pumped to go check it out.



The portions were huge!!! But so, so good! I had blueberry pecan pancakes with lots and lots of syrup. Delicious!

To round out our trip, we spent the afternoon by the pool. We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant, similar to Bennihana where the chef prepares your meal in front of you. We ended the evening by watching several water shows at the Bellagio.
It was such a great trip!!

Jeff and I had that tea with the tapioca a long time ago in Portland. We've never been able to find it again. You'll have to let us know how to find that shop the next time we go to Vegas.
