MARCH U.S. TRIP – DAY 5 – LAS VEGAS (Shopping and dining)

On Sunday we slept in since we came back to the hotel at about 5AM. At about noon we headed off to a nearby Factory Outlet, can’t remember which one it was. I was kind of bored since I’m not into brand stuff at all and that’s pretty much all there was :’D But I did buy a Michael Kors wallet that was on sale and literally screamed at me “I am just your style please buy me”.

We shopped until late in the afternoon and then went back to the hotel and got ready for our buffet dinner. The girls had researched all the famous buffets in Vegas and we chose to go to Bacchanal Buffet at Caesar’s Palace since it has been voted as the best one. Caesar’s Palace itself was absolutely beautiful! It was truly a pleasure to hang out at the pool area waiting for our table to be ready.

The buffet was pretty pricey at 55 dollars a head but the dish options were pretty much endless and all very high quality. I am very picky when it comes to food and a lot of the dishes they served didn’t really suit my taste or I didn’t even taste them but the girls loved everything. So I guess if you have regular eating habits this is a good place for pretty much everyone. Also the place had a lot of seafood and I don’t really eat seafood except salmon and prawns so my choices were a little more limited. The buffet was divided into different section and I got almost all of my food from the Chinese and Italian section but everything I ate from those was to die for! ;__; And the desserts, oh my, so much chocolate everywhere.

We stuffed our faces and then took our food babies out for a walk. The night air was nice and we we’re so full we decided to walk back to our hotel and just strolled around the strip, it was great! The Bellagio’s water fountain was pretty incredible to see, I could’ve spent hours just strolling around the strip, there was so much to see and the atmosphere is unlike anything else.

I really loved going to Vegas, I was hesitant about our plans at first but it turned out to be my favourite place out of all the places we went to! Would gladly go again.

Travels

The realization of my upcoming trips is slowly creeping up on me. I still find it hard to comprehend that I will be leaving for Japan in mere 12 days. There’s quite a lot to prepare as I will be staying three weeks. The only preparations I have managed to do are booking accommodation and flight tickets.

When I come back, I will have to start writing my thesis pretty much immediately as well as the planning for my trip to the States in March. There’s a lot more to prepare, even though I will only stay a week. I’ve never been to the West coast and we need to look at different hotels since we’ll be changing locations frequently, as well as rent a car etc, look at directions etc!

Anyway, I am slowly getting excited for both, although my mind is pretty ocupied with last minute Christmas preparations as well as long and tiring work shifts this week!
