Let’s see - where did I leave off?
Rewind to Friday evening, where Sydney and I got back to the hotel from our day at the photo shoot. We did some quick exploring of the Wynn…it is seriously such a beautiful place. Can you believe that this hot air balloon is entirely made of real flowers?!
…and we played around with the fun Vegas Snapchat filters, of course.
Then we got all dolled up for our first night out.
We started with dinner at Yellowtail at the Bellagio. I don’t say this lightly when I say that it was hands down the best sushi/Japanese meal I’ve ever had. I didn’t snap enough pictures to do it justice! But if you go there, just please (please) get the Baked Crab Hand Roll and High Steaks Roll.
Afterward we went to XS, which was SO much fun. Kaskade was playing that night, and I’m a huge fan, so I brought the old dancing shoes out of retirement for the night 😉
Even though we were out super late, I couldn’t bring myself to sleep in on Saturday. I didn’t want to miss the day! So I headed down bright and early to save seats at the pool and grab some coffee.
Then we just hung around the pool for most of the day. We ate, drank, laid out in the sun, and just soaked in every moment of being in the sunny, warm weather.
(For breakfast we split an Acai Bowl + Duck Hash, for lunch Sydney got a steak salad and I got a lobster bacon club + fresh orange carrot juice. It was all delicious!)
On Saturday night we met up with Rachel and Steven for yet another beyond incredible meal, this time at SW Steakhouse. Steven is friends with the chef, so he ordered us a spread fit for royalty. Lots of steak, lots of sides, and lots of dessert.
Our outfits de choix for the night:
We were on the fence about being out late because we had an early flight today, so we wandered around the casino for a few hours before deciding it would be a shame to “waste” our last night in Vegas. So back to XS it was 😛
After a quite indulgent weekend, a pre-flight green juice this morning was definitely on the agenda.
I was thankfully able to get some work (+ this post) done on the flight, so I’m not feeling entirely behind going into Monday, which is always nice.
Overall it was an amazing weekend from start to finish. I haven’t gotten out of New York much lately, so it was nice to escape for a few fun days.
But now…back to that daily grind 😉 Here’s to the new week!
**********
What’s the last (mini) vacation you took? Any getaways planned for this summer?
You are adorable! Love your outfits! My boyfriend and I want to go to Vegas after I graduate in December to celebrate, so hopefully we get to do that- looks way too fun!
Seeing you post about Vegas makes me want to go! I’m not a big partier/gambler, but I can surely bust out my dancing shoes!
Dreaming of so many getaways, but will have to make do with just staying close to home on the weekends. I only get a week/five days vacation time at my job (sad face) and used it up in February to fly down and see my mom #priorities. Wishing there was a little more to give since summer can be oh so wonderful, but you have to learn to accept where you are now and make the best of it. If I could…I’d love to get out to SoCal (never been!) to enjoy summer ‘right’.
girl you look smokin’ in that pink dress!!!!
your trip looked amazing and got me even more excited for my weekend getaway at the end of this month - i’m heading to Austin and it’s all i can think about!
looks like a fun escape for the weekend!!
this looks like suchhhh the fun quick trip! i was in Vegas in the end of April with my fam and stayed at the Bellagio but sadly didn’t eat at Yellowtail — looks amazing! your dresses are adorbs (as always). i haven’t been to the Wynn — i think i need to go back. 🙂
That pink dress is the most perfect Vegas dress I’ve ever seen!
Last getaway I took was to Macau last weekend… It’s basically Asian vegas!

That looks like you’re having such a good time!!
your weekend looks incredible! so much sun, food, and fun. and those sunglasses are fabulous!
I’ve never been to Vegas and I know I’d have to go on a major shopping spree to find appropriately hot dresses and shoes like you girls are rocking. I always worry that I’ve been back in Vermont for too long and I’ve turned in to an overly practical dresser. it’s so sad! a trip like this would definitely inspire me to stop dressing in warm layers and flats all of the time.
