July 7th, 2008 Vegas, baby!

I guess I’m a chatty, catty with all the posts I’ve been putting up this week.

And in this one, I’m sharing just a few of the photos taken with my camera during my recent girlfriend getaway trip to Las Vegas. Hot, hot sun. Fun, fun times. And let me point out already that these are the photos that I can actually post. There are more that are *ahem* controversial.

We booked our flight via Virgin America. Have you ever been on this ride? So, so smooth.

Inside surrounded by their signature purple lighting was Virgin America’s media center unit which they call Red. Here I am chatting with my friend asking what our Vegas plans were.

We stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacations just off the strip thanks to some time share goodness. This elephant met us once we entered the room. And the chocolate coins, too.

Helery, Cat, Jeannie and I did some shopping inside the Caesars Palace Forum while we waited for Aileen to arrive. I always enjoy visiting Caesars Palace because of its decor.

Hit up Anthropologie and their collection of letters and numbers. Can you guess what this trip was all about?

After a night of *ahem* party fun, here are Jeannie and Aileen early the next morning being LOL silly.

I actually did a bit of work and held an engagement shoot (which I’ll share in a future post) early Sunday morning and these two came with me. We did a session at this landmark Vegas sign. It’s actually much smaller than how I thought it would be.

Walking around and checking out the sites. This is the water foundtain in front of the Paris hotel.

I was loving the columns inside the Miracle Mile shopping complex. Doesn’t this pose just scream passion?

Cat and I as seen in the largest rear view mirror in the world.

Do we look like Kanye or what?

This was the closest I got to a Chippendale.

Sunday night meant the seafood buffet in the Rio. I only had enough energy to take a photo of my dessert because I was already slipping into a food coma.

After a night of partying *ahem*, we headed to a much needed spa appointment the next morning. The most fantastic spa experience I’ve ever had; I highly recommend the Mandara.

And after the spa was more lounging by our pool. There’s nothing quite like lounging by a pool on a Monday morning.

I looked up and saw this.

I actually didn’t gamble at all during the weekend; I’m not much of a gambler. But I was highly amused by a lot of the slot machines, especially this eBay one. Don’t people gamble already when they make purchases from eBay? Funny.

Walked the strip our last night there. Stopped by the M&M shop and took a photo with this guy.

You tell ‘em, girl.

The girls re-enacting on this fake Brooklyn Bridge the Miranda and Steve scene from the SATC movie. Hilarious.

The strip. Lights galore.

And the obligatory photo of the water fountain show at the Bellagio a la Ocean’s Eleven. Just lovely.

Thanks for letting me share! Cheers!
