Vegas 2012


First trip to Vegas/ Honeymoon


.
                                                             THE PARIS HOTEL





                                This is the view upon check in-Stunning! 






Loved the rooms- I found this on Photo Bucket because my picture didn't come out, but this was what our room looked like.

                                                      This bathroom was elegant.

                                             This was amazing to look up and see. Loved it.



We walked through here to get to the elevator for our room. I loved the whole feel of the decor here.
                                   



                                                                     Le Centeral


                                          Here is where we ate our breakfast and no I couldn't finish this! Again Player's Club comp for another meal.







                                              This is a face of a very hungover husband. Didn't know I took this picture which is even more funny!
 Yup and here is me with my hot chocolate....I do believe I was avoiding eye contact with the camera per usual of me.



                                       

 Though our trip was just a few days. We didn't get to see any shows or really much of anything. We were just enjoying each other's company and the warmth of the sunshine. We roamed around and did take in a few sights hear and there. I didn't really like being on the strip. It just felt gross. We'd have these people slamming these cards of naked women in our face, but couldn't speak English. We were hit up for time share tours with the promise of this or that. Was so annoying. We are in sales and nothing is worse than someone trying to sell us. Yup that is an oxymoron for sure. The one thing that was amazing was us being able to get into Gordon Ramsey's steak house thanks to the Concierge who got us in at 10:15 pm. Yes, so late to eat, but so worth it~









If every restaurant paid attention to serving in the way Gordan Ramsay has. There would never be an unhappy customer. We got seated and my chair was held out. We had a cart with all cuts of beef on it to explain what it was. We ordered and as soon as our glass was empty it was filled. Our plates removed. Our napkins folded when we got up to use the bathroom. Plates never empty. Water was in a bottle not a pitcher. The steak was not as good as LB Steak house in Biloxi. (yes, true story), but the baked mac n cheese had a hint of clam sauce for added flavor. The carrots were the best ever. (Well almost the best. We made some while camping on Grindestone, Ny over the open fire with Lord Calvert and butter. ) Though we spent  $250ish it was worth it.
