My Day of Vegas Exploration


BBQ Sauce | Wynn | Boba | Blossoming Tea

Woke up nice and early and spent the morning hanging around the house with Chris. I found a bottle of Korean BBQ sauce in his fridge that I had bought last time I was at his house (about a year ago). Gross! I made him throw it away lol. We ran some errands and I got some Starbucks yum! It's right down the street from him! Lucky bastard! haha We spent some time at the mall across the street from the Wynn and had fun at Teavanna, the coolest tea place ever with tons of yummy teas. They had this one tea that blossomed into a flower while brewing. Very pretty. Then we went forth to the Wynn to pick up Mileena, one of his friends from Le Reve so we could all go get Boba tea! 

Chris and Mileena

Vegas is such an interesting place. They even have a little China town which is fun and different. That's where the bubble tea place was and it had all sorts of great tea. I got almond milk green bubble tea with fried tofu. I was still hungry so I got the tofu dinner which was different, but good. Mileena was super nice and it was great getting to talk to her. 

Le Reve | Gambling | Pirates! | The Mirage

After that they both had to go to work so I was left alone at the Wynn. Rain and Joe were going to be in Vegas today so I had plans to hang out with them. While I waited for them to meet me at the Wynn I took a little walk around the inside of the hotel. Like the majority of Vegas, it was very beautiful but so unnecessary haha. I looked for this chocolate shop I had once bought these amazing dark chocolate truffles for Chris and I but alas! No longer there! Boo... No $4 truffles for me.

Rain and Joe!

Rain and Joe arrived and it was sooo nice to see them! We tried to find a bar at the Wynn to get some drinks and sit down but they were all full except for the really expensive one where we went in, sat down, ate some chips, read the menu then got up and left ^_^ We went over to Treasure Island and got some drinks there and caught up. Unfortunately they had to meet Joe's uncle for dinner so they had to leave me =( And that's when my crazy adventure started!

Paris Hotel | Caesar's Palace | Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace

I then proceeded to spend the next 4 hours wandering the strip. I went to Treasure Island, Caesar's Palace, The Venetian, The Palazzo, The Bellagio, The Wynn and the Mirage. That's a lot of freaking walking lol. I saw the fountain show in front of the Bellagio, the stupid animatronic show at Caesar's Palace and The Sirens of TI. The Sirens of TI was the worst thing I'd ever seen. It was basically an excuse to hire whores to dance on a pirate boat. God awful. But I guess that's why it was free lol. I went to all the expensive looking stores where I couldn't buy anything and looked around. Got some tasty gelato too right outside of the Wynn. Coconut yum! 

Fountain Show at Bellagio

Then after all of that I still had like an hour and a half left! Oye! So I did the bum thing and fell asleep on a bench outside heh. It was right near a giant TV screen that kept playing the same iPod commercial over and over again. Ugh. It was about 30 minutes later that I went and saw the Sirens of TI show. And it took me about 30 minutes to get out of that line! It was so packed and I walked like a penguin for about 3 blocks. It was a total patience tester =P

Then I went to the cafe in the Wynn right out side of Le Reve's theater to wait for Chris. I bought a $3.50 bottle of water so I could stay there. Wow. He finally got out of the show and we went home to watch the season finale of Avatar! I caught him up on everything that had happened and it was fun to watch it again. A fun day for sure!
