Getting cuh-razy in Las Vegas

Stupid title. Forgive me. I have been job searching all day. I'm trying to find a job that will work with my busy student teaching schedule. Mostly because I want to buy a DSLR, go to Ireland and buy more Lululemon yoga pants.



We did some damage at Hash House a Go Go. None of us finished our plates but we still felt pretty full. The Palazzo has an amazing gym & spa called Canyon Ranch Spa so we decided to check it out. I took a yoga class and the boys went to the gym.(Andy walked at an incline with his huge bandage on. He is intense.)

Tiffany and I took part in the sauna, steam room, igloo room, jacuzzi, rainforest showers and relaxation rooms. We felt incredibly relaxed afterwards.

Which obviously meant we needed more alcohol.





This is the dress I wore. It's made by Free People and I am obsessed. Unfortunately it's a little short and I HATE my legs so after a few hours, I changed into jeans.

I try to be a lady, I really do.





We went to Taqueria Canonita for happy hour. Andy's parents have been and told us it was delicious. I started with a blackberry margarita.



Tiffany ordered a mango margarita? I think.



And Gary ordered a long island iced tea. Aren't they a cute couple? I love double dates.



Andy ordered a beer. Which is boring. Right?



For food, I ordered chicken flautas.



Andy ordered ceviche. (And I tried the ahi tuna!) The ceviche was delicious. It came with three different kinds and the seafood-phobe in me was scared. Then I tried it. Love. Getting over my fear was delicious, gotta love that. Taqueria Canonita is a fun place to grab a bite, get a few drinks in and people watch. Go to their happy hour, it's from 2-7. Order the guacamole and think of me.

And I stopped taking pictures at this point. Maybe it had to do with my second margarita. I'll never tell.

I'm also sad because we went to a fun champagne bar with another couple (triple date!) and I forgot to take pictures. Sometimes I seriously fail at being a blogger.

Do you ever forget to take pictures? Or am I alone here?

Back from Vegas!

Vegas was wonderful!



We scored a comped room at The Venetian which is my favorite Vegas hotel.





Is it sad that I think the hotel room is almost the same size as our apartment?



Here is a pathetic attempt at a photo of both of us!



First thing we did? Ate lunch at 'wichcraft in the MGM (no photos!) and then...

Bouchon Bakery!



I bought a cookie for later.



Then it was time to walk around. My favorite thing about Vegas is walking around the casinos and people-watching and gawking at the uber-expensive stores inside Wynn, Encore, Bellagio and The Venetian.



Dinner was at Border Grill. We have one in Santa Monica but I wanted to go in Vegas!



I rolled with a pomegranate margarita. Which was to die for. The rest of the crew had cadillac margaritas. They also raved.



guacamole!



Sweet corn tamales para mi.



Andy had ceviche. I actually tried it and went back for seconds and thirds. The creamy avocado helped. (In case you didn't know, I am seafood-phobic. I don't know why but I am!)



And for dessert? A carrot cake cookie with cream cheese filling. Andy and I devoured it.



Good first night in Vegas! I didn't take a ton of pictures because we were too busy gabbing and gambling!

Next up: Tapas!

I will be reading and commenting on blogs constantly over the next couple days. I missed you guys!
