The Right Amount of Sass,Class and Ass...: Vegas Recap- Day 2 (Wednesday!)

Hello again, bunnies!

Time for more Vegas-Trip-2001 Recap action!

You already saw a few pictures from early-morning on Wednesday, day 2. The rest of the day was dedicated to the finer things in life- gorging and sunbathing, shopping, chocolate and boobs!

We’d heard our hotel had recently received the wonderful accolade of having the very best buffet on the strip. Nick and Eddie wanted to try it out… I should mention, I am not a big fan of buffets. I know, I’m a terrible fat girl. Going to a buffet is one of the very few fat-girl-insecurities I still maintain. Also, having a gluten allergy, most of the food I can’t eat, so it’s a huge let down.

However….the Wicked Spoon? Delicious. Unbelievable. The largest spread of food I’ve ever seen, with individual dishes. I could go on and on. Even having to eat gluten-free, I was still satisfied, but very very frustrated I couldn’t eat the mountains of delicious food I WANTED to.

After stuffing our bellies, we decided it was high time we explored one of the pools.
Our first pool experience was the Boulevard Pool, which overlooks the strip. A beautiful set up, with lounge chairs, palm trees and a game section. Bikini- clad waitresses wandering about bringing you over priced beverages. Heaven.

We digested and sun bathed, then swam about and it was just marvelous!

On our way back to our room, we took in some of the art that is around The Cosmo. Everywhere you look, there is interactive art. My favorite? GIANT SHOES! Don’t mind my messy look, we just came back from a swim, remember!

Some more quick photos from around the hotel, mostly of part of the GIANT chandelier, with a 3 floor bar inside of it

The hotel had these SUPER NEAT vending machines all over the place. They are old cigrarette vendine machines, turned into art vending machines! They spit out little mini canvases for $5.

After a quick change , we decided to hit the pavement and do some sight seeing and shopping!

First we went to Paris! I really wanted to go last year, but didn’t have time. To be honest, we weren’t all that impressed. The ride up to the top cost us $20, and we had a better view from our hotel. Meh. Here is a view of our hotel, anyway.

Then..it was time to SHOP! But first?

YARD LONG MARGARITAS AT NOON! We were wandering around Ceasar’s Palace Forum Shops, and decided to get gigantic beverages. Vegas isn’t Vegas without drinking a giant beverage mid-day. We took a short breather to watch the fishies.

One of the things I looked forward to the most about returning to Vegas was the shopping and the chocolate. We hit up Vosges, an Haute-Coutoure Chocolate Shop… Let me just say….the prices ARE WORTH IT!!!! We spent $100 on chocolate, some to bring home, some to enjoy in our room. We also hit up the Bettie Page store, where I spent WAY too much money. We don’t have anything like that back home! Sure, everyone at the festival would be wearing those dresses- but no one back home will be!
Our gigantic margaritas were finished, and we were tipsy. I decided we should stop shopping or I’d max my credit card. Nick was drunk, and photo bombing EVERYONE he possibly could. Including me.

Back to our room, with the spoils of Drunken Shopping

A quick bath with more yummy Lush products, and it was time to get dolled up for a show.

We had tickets to see The Crazy Horse Paris show at the MGM. I’d seen the show last year, with Dita Von Teese, and was BLOWN away. We had front row vip seating, I could smell her…it was sublime. This year, Claire SinClaire was guest staring…. I wont lie , she was pretty lack-luster, but the regular Crazy girls were fantastic. Nick really enjoyed the show.

I wore one of my new Bettie Page dresses, that I fell in love with, and shhh wore again on Friday ;)
