it's been 5 years since my last visit. i know so much has changed since my last visit. i'm not sure why he chose vegas, he will be heading back out there in june for work, whatever! needless to say, i am pretty excited!
we are going to be going for 5 nights, personally that's a bit to long to be in vegas if you ask me! 2-3 nights is perfect! as much as i love vegas, i hate walking the strip being bombarded by "illegals" and children passing out passes to strip clubs! i hope the city of las vegas has cracked down on this practice! it's a real bothersome seeing children pass out that crap!
what are you favorite shopping destinations? fashion show mall, citycenter, caesars, venetian, bellagio, etc? the only place i haven't been to is the citycenter. i'll definitely be paying a visit to citycenter, might even pick up the gucci wallet i want if they have it in stock? one in navy to match my vintage hobo below:
the only downer about shopping in vegas is the sales tax 8.10% isn't much better than chicago! ha! ha! ha!the last four trips to vegas, i also made it a point to take the bus out to the outlets in primm, nv at the california border. why?!?!!? of course, the williams-sonoma outlet! although, i could wait and go to the one in leesburg, va in june? who knows??!! the outlets in primm also had a tod's outlet, not sure if that is still there or not? fun! fun! fun!
then of course, i can't wait to check out some of the fabulous restaurants in las vegas. luckily, living in chicago we have a lot of the same restaurants so it will be easy to weed out the chains like N9NE, smith & wollensky, the grand lux cafe, spago, etc.
if you have any good recommendations for sushi and seafood restaurants in vegas? please let me know, thanks!!!
we are staying at the palms and i can't wait to visit the little buddha. i also can't wait to check out the social house and my husband is a huge fan of the buffet over at the rio --- endless lobster, although i don't recall the lobster being very big and they were rather dry/over cooked if anything.
one of my favorite places to go for breakfast is the le creperie at paris, YUM!!! we are definitely going there one morning for crepes! plus, the buffet over at the bellagio is another one of my favorites.
okay, i feel like i just gained 5 pounds describing a few of my favorite places to eat, LOL!!
what are your favorite things to do in vegas?
i am looking forward to vegging out by the pool, going out to eat, walking the strip, checking out a few bar [not much of a "club" person anymore] and of course shopping! okay, maybe take in some gambling! i'm not much of a "show" person, i have a very short attention span....LOL!
also, can't wait to finally wear my jack rogers/bonanno's again! too bad they aren't fit for "las vegas" walking, LOL! 
that's okay, i'll pack my tennies and keen walking shoes!

aww haha you're not sure why he picked Vegas??? it's a playground for grown ups :)
DEFINITELY try and get tickets for Celine Dion's new show, she's a legend.
I haven't been to Las Vegas, but I've heard that the shopping and dining are amazing. Obviously you and I seem to have those two "loves" in common! Have fun! I hope my husband and I make it out there sometime in the near future.
I love the tin you have your sandals in!! So cute!
Since you'll be there for 5 nights... you can hit up ALL the shopping!
I <3 Vegas... shopping, dining, SLOTS!

i love vegas - i went eight times last year!
here are some of my favorite places to shop and eat and play! http://queenofla.blogspot.com/2010/02/viva-las-vegas-jordan-silverman-way.html
I've never been to Vegas, but I know when my friends start marrying off there will definitely be bachelorette parties planned for Vegas. Though I'm not a gambler, some of the restaurants sound fantastic. Unfortunately for all of the food blogs I read, I can't for the life of me remember what the best restaurants are. Oooh, and Leesburg outlet is great! I was there a couple months ago after a weekend of touring VA wine country.
