One of my mom's good friends announced that she was getting married, hotels amsterdam and that the wedding was to be held in Vegas. My mom decided to make the trip to Vegas, a mini family hotels amsterdam vacation! Unfortunately my dad wasn't able to go because he had a high school hotels amsterdam reunion to go to :P Go class of '78!
We left Friday morning (7am) and on the way there, we stopped by the Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas. We only stopped there because I saw the Michael Kors sign ('cause Nicki Minaj couldn't get Michael Kors even if she was Michael Kors), so we decided hotels amsterdam to check it out. I initially walked in the store intending to buy a new gold watch I could BLING BLING around Vegas, but I walked out with this instead! CLOSE ENOUGH
It's a small sized white leather shoulder bag with gold detailing. It works a lot like the Chanel flap bags; it has one infinity/circle strap, and if you want make it shorter, you'll just have two straps instead. There are four separate compartments inside, including a back pocket usually present in most purses. I'm so used to having hotels amsterdam dark colored bags (most of mine are browns blacks) so I'll have to treat this bag with some dove extra love. It was around $215 (tax included). hotels amsterdam MAKIN' IT RAIN UP IN THIS MICHAEL KORS OUTLET
This is my first time experiencing Vegas as an actual adult. I've been to Vegas in the past, but I was only like 13 years old! I was so limited in the things that I could do...I couldn't even go to a damn magic show. It sucks being a fetus in Las Vegas *sigh*.
One thing that you should know about Las Vegas in the summertime, is that it is just hotter than Satan himself. You could literally just be standing and feel like your skin has caught on fire. JUST BY STANDING! There's a roller coaster by the southern part of the strip, but I just couldn't imagine hotels amsterdam myself hotels amsterdam actually enjoying the ride because I'd be too occupied with my face taking a trip to an Ethopian desert sand storm.
But what I loved about the infamous Sin City upon our arrival was that everything really was larger than life. Everything was so beautiful and flamboyant! I mean, I've seen pictures of Vegas before, but actually experiencing it...man...
I was totally overwhelmed by the architecture (inspired by Northeastern Italy) and the delicately detailed paintings on the walls and ceilings. They offer free valet parking, complimentary bellhop services (which are definitely offers that you want to take advantage hotels amsterdam of), and like most Vegas hotels, a taxi/cab line. We arrived about an hour a half before the check-in time, but we checked-in anyways to see if there was anything available. There was; however hotels amsterdam it was in the "Venezia" tower--another building the connects to the main building. The only difference between the two towers is the distance from all of the shops, but we didn't mind the walk!
We stayed in the "Bella Suite" of the Venezia tower. I was honestly really disappointed because it was not how the suite looked like in the photos at all. Instead of a lush L-shaped couch as shown in the online photos, there was an old dirty couch and two arm chairs hotels amsterdam instead. The bathroom had no LCD TV (which I didn't really care for, but it was in the photos as well). There weren't even any bath robes! We had to call room service to get them! The door that leads to the toilet constantly got jammed. I'm also assuming that suites hotels amsterdam with nice views cost more money, because we had a view of a parking structure -_- The refrigerators had those sensors where if you pick something up, it will automatically charge to your room. However, there was no menu/price list for the items. hotels amsterdam We called room service again to ask if there was a price list, and they said that it should posted on the outside of the fridge. It wasn't. Of course these minor flaws wouldn't have been a problem had we stayed at the Motel 6, but these flaws just shouldn't exist for a five-star hotel. The bathroom was definitely the best part of the suite. It had a standing shower, a jacuzzi-esque bathtub, double doors, a vanity table...everytime I opened those double doors, I felt like a Corleone in The Godfather . But without all that shooting stuff.
The Venetian is connected to its sister hotel, The Palazzo; meaning that they share the shopping district as well as the many restaurants included. When I first entered the shops, I saw the sky and thought "Oh great, we're going outside. Time to visit Satan." But I walked around and said "WAIT, WOAH." The shopping center was created indoors to look like you were on an Italian hotels amsterdam street! But most importantly, it was air conditioned. HELL YEAH (no pun intended). The center includes many retail shops such as BCBG, Sephora, Marc Jacobs, and many more.
There's a cute little bakery shop on the casino floor where we went to get breakfast pastries and coffee, called "Bouchon Bakery". Pictured is a large vanilla latte, cream cheese lemon danish, and a raspberry macaron. hotels amsterdam It was my first time trying macarons, and my taste buds exploded with rainbows and unicorns.
Nightlife in Vegas is definitely very fun, I'm sure. I had fun with my brother mom at age 18. I can't imagine how much fun I'd have if I was with my friends at age 21. Definitely coming back here for my 21st birthday!
