a weekend in vegas {part 1}.

Helloooo from Las Vegas!

I don’t think I made any mention that I was coming out here this weekend, did I? Well, here I am - on a little work/play weekend 🙂

Sydney and I arrived here at about 9pm last night. We went straight to dinner at Andreas (luggage and all) where we met up with Rachel and a bunch of the people we’re here working with. After some crispy rice sushi and Baked Alaska, we headed back to our room and passed right out.

Today (Friday) we woke up bright and early and took in how cozy our hotel room is. Those of you who told me I’d be spoiled by the Wynn were right…

(More pix of the hotel to come in my next post)

Then we grabbed a quick breakfast at Tableau. I got a parfait and their famous juice flight.

Then we spent the day at a house about 20 minutes from the strip, where we helped work a photo shoot for a certain food brand/catalog. It was so interesting seeing the amount of planning and detail that goes into food photography! Just a few out the outtakes (that don’t do any of the actual photos, justice, ha)…

The house and views were so beautiful and…peaceful! You never really think about the outskirts of Vegas, so it was really cool to spend the day out there.

The day also included lots of delicious food, including some dessert taste testing. Cookies, tartes, cupcakes…I didn’t hate it, to say the least 😉

This was a Red Velvet Cupcake topped with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Mousse.

Now we’re about to head back to the hotel to take a quick nap before the fun night ahead.

I’ll be posting the rest of my weekend soon! In the meantime, you can follow me on Snapchat, where I’m snapping up a storm 😉 “alagracie”
