Adventures In Las Vegas

October 20, 2016 By hautegreyfox

Adventures In Las Vegas – Haute Grey Fox

 

When Mr. HGF announced that he wanted to go to Las Vegas, let’s just say I was less than enthusiastic.  I had never visited Las Vegas before, but I envisioned “Sin City” as a place with smoke filled casinos packed with tourist trying to strike it rich and obnoxious people walking around in drunken stupors etc.

Well that was not the case at all.  “Sin City” was so amazing that I haven’t stopped talking about it.    We arrived in Vegas at 9:00 a.m. dropped off our luggage and spent the next 6 days discovering exactly what makes Las Vegas such a popular tourist destination!

The hospitality was first class! We stayed at the Desert Sands Resort.  This is where I met Julie, a member of the staff where we stayed.  Julie was simply amazing and absolutely beautiful! She shared so much about Vegas! Places to visit while we were in town, the best shopping locations, great food spots, you name it and she knew it.  (I know without a doubt that if we lived closer we would be BFF’s)

Visually Las Vegas was so exciting, flashing lights, people cheerfully walking around, the architecture was so amazing I saw the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, A pyramid, Gigantic life size statues and other structures that were beyond amazing.  The fountain display with  flashing lights music playing to a rhythmic melody was simply breathtaking.

Casinos

The casinos were so lively! The sound of bells, wheels turning, decks of cards, roulette, black jack, poker you name it!  You heard laughter, saw serious poker faces and even the screams from lucky winners.  What also surprised me was the Casinos were also very beautiful.  The entrances were so grand and complete with themes.  Many looked like villages complete with painted (sky) ceilings that reminded me of the perfect weather on a beautiful day.  Tucked within each casino were restaurants with so many delicious food choices that it was hard to decide.  And yes, my favorite drink of choice… I literally saw a Starbucks coffee shop almost on every corner….so I was a happy girl.  I am not a big drinker, but I love my Starbucks!

Many of the locations were a-m-a-z-i-n-g but two locations were so memorable that when I think about them it takes me back to the  wonderful scent of flowers  wafting through the air.  The first location is the Venetian where the interior looked like Venice complete with gondola rides.  When we walked through the door of Bellagio we noticed a glass etched floral display on the ceiling that was eye catching.

We meandered a little further and stumbled on this fall wonderland village complete with a talking tree, a scarecrow, bears, raccoons, horses and beautiful fall foliage, a giant cornucopia filled was with goodies, it was simply  magnificent.  We walked further and saw this giant chocolate display with white and dark chocolate falling from the ceiling on this contraption that reminded me of the Willy Wonka chocolate factory…. It was amazing!  I was childlike as I watched the chocolate fall down in large drifts.

Hotels

The following day we went to the Wynn Hotel.  It was just as enchanting, complete with a carousel made with flowers, the floor was covered with flowers, the horses were covered with flowers, huge balls suspended from the ceiling were covered with flowers they even had a replica hot air balloon that was covered with flowers.   As you can image the smell of fresh flowers was delightful.   This is without a doubt the most magnificent floral display that I have ever witnessed.

Halloween displays were very detailed and fun to look at.  And if you dare ride the gigantic Ferris wheel called the “high roller”  you could see the entire city.

Food

The restaurants were five star.  I am a huge foodie, so it was important to eat at good restaurants.  Each time we travel to various locations I looked at the menu to see if they have shrimp and grits…. we literally stumbled on this spot called Yardbird Southern Table and Bar.  I was so excited that they had shrimp and grits on their menu.   Though reluctant to try their shrimp and grits because I thought where would they would get fresh shrimp in the middle of the dessert.  I took a chance and those shrimp and grits were the best that I have eaten at any restaurant anywhere.  The only thing that was left on my plate were the shells from the shrimp… If they were edible I probably would have eaten those also.

Shopping

There was just so much to do, but what I love most about Vegas is the SHOPPING!  The shopping was simply incredible and everywhere you looked you could find, designer clothes, bags, and shoes.  There was Fashion Show, Crystals, Bellagio, The Forum, The Grand Canal Shoppes, Souvenir shops, Outlet malls, you name it and they had it.  I knew I found my Sin when I saw the Gucci store with the bag that I wanted.  Keisha help me pick out the perfect bag and belt.    I shopped so much I had to buy a separate suitcase to bring my new goodies home.  I also had some items shipped from one of the Bellagio shops.  So yes, I was slightly out of control, but there were no taxes and I just could not resist the incredible deals I got, especially at the outlet malls.

Shows

I think one of my favorite highlights from the trip was the Cirque du Solei Michael Jackson show! It was incredible! The Cirque Du Solei was my favorite show in Las Vegas, it was  simply outstanding.

So if I had to grade Las Vegas, I would give it five stars because it literally has something for everyone!

We were there for 6 days and simply ran out of time! So we did not  get to see all that we planned to see, but this just gives us an excuse to return to finish up where we left off.  So if you are on the fence like me, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip so I can share a little bit more about my experience with you!

Garden party, anyone? I couldn’t say “no” to Garden party, anyone? I couldn’t say “no” to such flower power. 🌸🌺

When I was in Charleston, I saw @thebstinger wearing one of these beautiful dresses. I just had to ask the name of the designer. I got my answer, and I purchased two @aguabyaguabendita dresses. The best part? They were on sale, y’all. 

Would you ask someone for details on their outfit? I love to compliment my sisters in style.

I always wanted a traditional garden, but military I always wanted a traditional garden, but military life meant that moving would be inevitable. 

Thankfully, I saw something beautiful growing up that would continue to call my name. Over the years, I have watched my mom and sister create some of the most beautiful container gardens — or plants in pots. 

I planted my first garden when I was in my early 20s, and this was the time I also moved to Italy. I became mesmerized by how a single container could create such a chic, dreamy look. Today, at almost 60, my love for all-things plants hasn’t changed. 

Enjoy a few gorgeous Charleston containers for a quick recap on how to make sure your container plant includes a thriller, spiller, and filler.

The face says it all this summer, even with these The face says it all this summer, even with these hot North Carolina days.

So, like the brand @trinnylondon  says, “Rethink your routine.”
 .
I used their Eye2Eye eye shadow in the shade called “faith” - you can smudge, smoke, or define it.
 .
I locked in moisture with Lip Glow in the shade of Valentina, it’s hydrating and glossy.

I blurred those sneaky fine lines with a Face Finish and what a flawless finish. Have you tried Trinny London?  It’s a keeper for me!

I love timeless pieces. I’ve been saying this fo I love timeless pieces. I’ve been saying this for a while now because I’m only shopping for pieces that will consistently deliver. I recently collaborated with @annefontaine and I brought some of her clothes with me to Miami. I was reminded of what excites me most about timeless pieces: effortless elegance.  The white CANNES Dress is a fitted poplin halter style dress with a large single ruffle. I love the way it looks, and I can think of so many places to take a stroll in this outfit. 
The FAHELA Blouse has Anne’s personality all over it. She loves rosettes, and they are a beautiful addition to this halter with a deep V-neckline.
You’ll see me pair the NAHI Jacket with the OKINA Pant. We love a class tuxedo jacket, right? Anne Fontaine’s version features an oversized form and comes in this gorgeous soft yellow. The pants sit high on the waist and include oversized wide legs.
I also love the LORIA pants. They’re made of the same lightweight crepe fabric as the OKINA pant.
Now, it’s your turn. What are your favorites? Let me know in the comments.  #ad
