My trip to Nevada was unfortunately only a stop in Las Vegas.  I hope to visit other fun and amazing places throughout Nevada in the future but I had some fun and amazing friends who were visiting Vegas so of course I had to join them.  I’d love to say I’m not sharing a lot of info about the trip because “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”… but mostly I am just behind on posts and realizing I have to write 44 blogs in less than 6 months.  So voila . . .  a list of Takeaways and some pictures! Family, I promise I was the smartest and safest girl on the strip 0:-D

• Choose Brookyln Bowl for a concert. You can reserve a bowling lane and watch/listen while you bowl!  We saw The Offspring, I beat everyone at bowling and some of my friends got pretty intense in the mosh pit.
• Visit High Roller at night. However, do not splurge for the open bar ticket. Just look out the windows and enjoy yourself.  The ride isn’t especially long and we only ended up with one drink each anyway.  Learn from our mistake.  Plus, if you spend your time at the tiny bar (that closes once you’re below the buildings – the last quarter of the ride) you’ll miss the best views.
• Bottomless Brunches! Especially on the day we were there, when weather was stormy.  You can spend hours eating and enjoying cocktails with friends.   It makes for the best days ever.  Also, it’s basically a work out walking to and from the buffet and you get an intense ab workout from laughing so it’s ALMOST like it’s good for you.  The key is going with hilarious friends. 🙂  It’s also a great way to ward off a hangover. (Which I know nothing about because once again, I am an angel).
• Just wander the strip.  Grab a giant icy drink and enjoy your time amidst the insanity.  See the most cliche tourist attractions you can, that’s what they’re there for.  However, don’t take pictures with performers unless you plan on paying them for their photo.
• Sometimes it is actually better to grab a limo than a cab when you have a larger group.  Yes, you can walk but the strip is longer than you think.  I learned this the hard way at 21. 😦

See you next time, Nevada!
