My fiance Simon and my bff Steph joined us for the trip. We arrived in Las Vegas one night earlier than Amber, and visited the Grand Canyon on our first day (Amber didn’t want to join us for this). The tour we went on also had a quick stop at the Hoover Dam. I’d like to go on a more in-depth tour of the Hoover Dam one day. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it, but it was actually super interesting! The Grand Canyon was beautiful, and I really loved the serenity of the desert. I could definitely get used to the lack of humidity! π
Amber took the time to plan out an awesome itinerary for us for the rest of the trip. We visited many of the fabulous hotels on the strip, as well as the Fashion Show mall. We’re both big fans of the reality show Vanderpump Rules, so drinks at the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesar’s Palace were a must. It was one of my favorite stops of the trip! The ambience was great and the cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The casinos were fun to experience as well. It came as a bit of a shock to see people smoking inside, since it’s been illegal in Ontario since I was a kid. We went to the Cirque du Soleil’s O show at the Bellagio on Saturday night. I honestly didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either. I guess it’s just not my thing.
During our trip we stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacations hotel on the strip. We stayed in a fabulous penthouse suite on the 37th floor. The view was spectacular and the service was excellent. There isn’t a casino at the Hilton, so we had more tranquility and felt safer. The pool at the Hilton was one of the nicest pools I’ve ever swam in!
