Living in San Diego: Viva Las Vegas 9/9-9/12

I just had a weekend of fabulousness with Monica and Mikey. We stayed in the Aria Casino, which is pretty brand new. It's beautiful of course. Words can't do it justice. Click here to see! The beginning of my trip was a little deranged due to a nuclear power plant shut down, with Southern California, Arizona, and Northern Mexico power all lost.

Of course, my flight was supposed to leave at 7AM but that wasn't possible since the power was out. All flights departing Friday morning were canceled. I ended up driving to Vegas. Good thing it is only a 4 1/2 hour drive! It ended up being a blessing in disguise because the drive is not that bad. You just go through the desert at 70 MPH (I went 80) and it's really doesn't have much traffic. Get up early and go and all is well! It takes the same amount of time if you were to go to the airport and depart. You get to the airport 2 hours early to check in, go through security, an hour flight, land, get luggage, shuttle to the airport. It's the same time. And we had a car, so we didn't have to waste money on renting one or cabs.

Aria has some fun clothing shops. I'll be back to do some damage. I found some SUPER cute and fun bath and soaps. They look like cupcakes, ice cream, cookies and lollipops. Click here for party favor ideas and gifts.

I had AMAZING cupcakes at the Cupcakery in the Aria. I took home a strawberry shortcake cupcake with strawberry buttercream frosting and a milk chocolate cupcake with dark chocolate ganache with a hint of mint in it. Split it with Ron when I got home and it was orgasmically tasteful.
