Guide to Las Vegas – where to go and what to do

Day 1 

Plane ride there was quick and easy. It was the first time I had ever checked a bag and 10/10 would recommend. Made me feel a lot less stressed out. Upon arriving in Las Vegas, my friend Jade picked me up in her car and we cruised around. My first impression of the city was how massive all the hotels were.

We arrived at our hotel, The LINQ Las Vegas Strip Hotel & Casino, which has multiple restaurants, bars and a casino inside. This hotel is dog-friendly which was a huge plus to us. The room included 2 queen beds and a bathroom with a large walk-in shower. This space was perfect for us.

The first thing we did was glam up for the evening. My dress is from Nine West and my shoes from a store called Wix.

For dinner, we made a reservation at the Strip House which is located at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, in Las Vegas. This was probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life.

I had the filet mignon with a loaded baked potato. Jade had the rack of lamb also with a baked potato. We split the lobster mac + cheese and the signature 24 layer chocolate cake.

I also introduced J to Moscato D’asti that paired fabulously with our meal. The service in this restaurant was amazing and I would recommend to anyone looking for a more lux meal in Vegas.

Next, we walked around the Planet Hollywood Hotel. This photo was taken near one of the entrances of the hotel.

Caesars Palace is where we ended up next. The great thing about all the big hotels in downtown Las Vegas is that they are close to each other and you can walk most places. But if you are wearing high heels like us, and prefer to use uber, use my code (hollyg244) for $ off your 1st ride.

After ubering back to our hotel (and changing shoes) we wandered in the promenade around the Linq. We ended up at the Off The Strip and enjoyed waffle fries & wine. #classyladies

This area actually lowkey has everything you need: Starbucks, lots of restaurants and bars and even an in & out.

Day 2

Wakeup.  Light glam. Headed to the Soleil Las Vegas pool @ the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.

The Paris Las Vegas hotel was probably my fave hotel in Las Vegas that we went to. It just hit the head of my aesthetic chart and I fell in love. If I ever go missing, you’ll find me here. Welcome to Paris, but in Las Vegas.

Mimosas at the Soleil pool were our breakfast, vegas style.

 

Next, we headed to the Bellagio Hotel and Casino to have a late lunch at their buffet. I’m not usually a fan of buffets but this one was delicious. I tried so many different dishes and everything was tasty. I was told this buffet is very popular because they have crab legs on the menu.

We headed back to the hotel for some r & r before a long night out.

Confession: I am obsessed with In-N-Out Burger. We had it for dinner and it was amazing. 10/10.

We headed to Venetian Hotel and Casino and walked around, lost some $ and then headed to the shopping part of the building. Almost hidden in a second-floor corner is Carlos Bakery. Everything here is delicious.

Back at the Bellagio. Took lots of pictures inside the Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. This area is GORGEOUS.

After a quick outfit change, we arrived at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Inside the Cosmopolitan is The Chandelier, which is just fabulous. There is no other way to describe it. We enjoyed our cocktails and the atmosphere very much.

Day 3

Time to head home! Jade had a long drive home so we didn’t do much the last day. Unfortunately, my flight was a little delayed so I left Vegas a little late.

We had such a fun time in Vegas. I plan on coming back very soon. I would love to hear your favorite things in Vegas!
