LV snapshots

yes i know, it's about time i post about Vegas... but to be honest, ever since i've been back, i've been enjoying being pretty lazy. i've been sleeping a little better, been more relaxed at work, just been chilling, taking things day-by-day. i guess leaving the city and taking a break from real life really does help!

here's my Vegas recap...

here i am with my travel buddy, Jeff
this was our home for the week



here's the view from our window
and another view
enjoyed SEMA where we saw sexy cars
like this one...
this one...
and this one...
even found one with my name all over it!

did the touristy thing...
gallivanted all over
and did some sightseeing
pretended to shop at high-end stores
like this one
but really shopped in here
and shopped at this outlet mall

enjoyed the night life
partied it up with some of my boys
 
(yes, the scandalous top made an appearance)
met up with some non-tdotters
checked out the Food & Wine Event with Joe
enjoyed the BEST food and drank as much as i can
observed drunk Joe try to change a flat tire on his rental
even checked out the crazy Pacman display in the Nike store
before retruning back to Toronto
 
 
 

Vegas was fun and exactly what i needed. the highlight of my trip would be the Food and Wine All-Star Weekend hosted by Gail Simmons and featured top Chefs. here is why...
  • on the way to the reception Joe and i found dollar bills on the ground. 
  • the food was fantastic, amazing and phenomenal! the 1st bite alone was worth every penny. 
  • we discovered the best drink EVER, a vodka-lime-cucumber-dill concoction. 
  • we both won $300 EACH with the $100 comp gaming chip that came with our ticket.
  • the ticket was only $125. therefore our tickets were free and we were paid to attend this fantastic event!
the 2nd highlight of my trip was discovering tokyo teas! too bad this cocktail is not available in Canada. actually, it's probably for the better... tokyo teas are dangerous!

CHEERS TO VEGAS!
