We had so much fun in Vegas despite not being able to indulge in all the adult things that one can do in Vegas. I mean three days was not enough! From the hotel-hopping itself and trying all the restaurants and all the touristy places one must check-off. I must warn you this is a very long post full of pictures.

I don't even know where to start. I am such a reality-TV freak that the moment we landed in Vegas I wanted to eat at this restaurant so bad. Buddy V's (The Cake Boss) Italian restaurant did not disappoint. The food was soo good and I didn't even have the time to snap pictures of everything we ordered. We just ate everything with no leftovers. We even had dessert after! Yummy! Makes my mouth water just seeing this picture and planning another trip to Vegas is in order just to eat there.

On our way to Hoover dam is a nice view of Lake Mead. It is said to be the largest reservoir in the US by volume. The hoover dam is incredibly beautiful as it sits on the border between Arizona and Nevada with a one-hour time difference. I am in awe of how much resources it took and the number of people to build this magnificent architectural structure.
Although MGM grand is at the far end (south) of Las Vegas, it is quite accessible due to the monorail. If you do not want to deal with car rental and the grueling traffic on the strip this is a good choice. We booked our stay through bookit.com and we were very pleased as we got a 200$ restaurant coupon which we used to eat at a local Italian restaurant called Sergio's that we surprisingly loved. Read about it on Yelp and we figured it rated really good and decided to eat there for dinner the night we arrived. All in all it was a great deal for roughly a little over 200$ for a three-night stay.
We ended the trip with a nice brunch at Serendipity 3 restaurant in Las Vegas.
We tried to squeeze in as much sight seeing as possible of the three days we were there and it was not enough.
We will definitely be going back and try the high roller, watch Ka and maybe eat at all the restaurants I've missed on this trip.
How about you? What do you love about Vegas?
