My quick trip to Vegas + welcome sponsors

12.01.10
First off, I want to say welcome to all my new sponsors. All of their blogs and shops are extra lovely, and I hope you will all take the time to check out each and everyone of their pages. Lets share the blog love!
In other news, this past holiday weekend I went on a one-day trip to Las Vegas, Nevada with my parents (who were going for a business convention). I thought I would share with you a few photos from my trip, starting from the evening that we arrived there (this past Saturday).
We stayed at the Paris hotel and had a lovely view of the strip.

(yes, my eyes were super red from being so tired, but maybe not quite that red.)

(the pool that was directly below my room)

Isn’t the Eiffel tower just lovely? About five years ago I went to the very top and looked over the whole city. I remember it being very pretty up there, and also freezing.
This chandelier was in the lobby of my hotel and I thought it was just lovely.
Sunday morning I woke up bright and early (it’s an hour earlier in Vegas than it is in Phoenix). I once again took in the view from our window.

Later that morning I had breakfast in a room on the 31st floor of the hotel. I had yogurt + granola, a chocolate croissant, fruit, and coffee.

After breakfast we headed downstairs to meet up with some of my parents friends. Being downstairs I felt like I was on the streets of Paris, roaming around in search of a coffee and a baguette.

Later on in the afternoon I went roaming around Fashion Show mall. I unfortunately didn’t come home with anything, but really enjoyed look at all of their Christmas decorations.

After looking around the mall for a bit my mom and myself started to walk back toward the Paris.

Before we got to the hotel we made a stop in the famous Serendipity 3 for lunch and their frozzzen hot chocolate.
Inside they had these beautiful lamps that resembled a Tiffany lamp pattern.

I really wanted to go to this restaurant, as I had heard so much about it, but ended up finding the food mediocre, and the service a little poor. However, I did LOVE the frozzzen hot chocolate.

Very rarely do I ever eat hamburgers, but this day I made an exception and ate one with some sweet potato fries (and scoops of frozzzen hot chocolate of course).

The rest of the afternoon and evening I hung out with my mom, and go ready to head back to Phoenix on a 8 ‘oclock flight.

(goodbye Vegas!)
Overall, my trip was short but phone. I am hoping to go back in January, this time with Scott by my side, and I have big plans to finally meet Vanessa.
Did you do anything fun over the holiday weekend? Have you ever been to Vegas before?
