This pretty much sums up our Thanksgiving. The weather was amazing and Las Vegas has won me over for a few reasons. Firstly, I knew there was shopping, but I did not know there was shopping. Until 11pm. Even on Thanksgiving. This is a town where two Chanel stores coexist within a mile of each other. I love that.
Also? I ate like a king. Or queen. Or, uh, pig. There is so much good food. There’s a teensy part of me that feels like you’re cheating, because isn’t the “original” Café Fancypantswhatever supposed to be in some other large city, not this city of excess built on casino cash?
I got over that. I never really got into the gambling thing, mainly because I seemed to lose every time I tried, but I found myself sitting down at slot machines while waiting for things, which was totally weird. All in all, I praise the insane over-the-topness of it all, the non-stopness, the sheer stupidity of a fountain show and a casino that’s built to look like Venice. Why the hell not?

[this is good] you didn’t like the gambling? I pretty much think blackjack is a sport…
Anywhere that has a whole mock up of the Venice canal system — on the first floor! is ok by me. Oh oh and the pirates don’t forget the pirates.
Gambling is a sport, I will not argue with this. But I totally suck at the sports. Sadly. That said, I did watch the end of a football game in the Sports Book with my boyfriend, which he declared “his new favorite place to watch a game.” I had to sort of agree, even though I kept getting confused by the numbers.
