Feed me Las Vegas! Feed me!

Oh Las Vegas.... you make my heart so happy with all of your culinary delight! So much to choose from, so many great choices. From famous chefs, to buffets to things I’ve never seen before.

Every year in July we get our one adult vacation we can’t count on. It’s like a 3 day summer break for parents. Pretty much like Adult Disneyland.

My favorite thing to do is find out where I’m going to eat! I’ve got 3 new ones for you this time!

Let’s start with late night street food.
After dancing, gambling or my favorite activity people watching and cocktails you need something delicious, but not sit down, and it needs to be quick. By this hour, most restaurants have closed. I mean sure you could grab a burger at McDonald’s or a sub from the 24 hour subway. But why not search out the best late night food in Vegas!? That’s what I did.
I bring to you, DIRT DOGS.
Flavorful, filling, piled high with goodness.
Choose a hot dog, elote, or a few other fried goodness options.
I chose the Elote, and it did not disappoint. I had on a fancy pants dress on so I chose the cup, and gosh darn it, it was amazing!
We sat at the bar across the alley and they delivered it to me there.

Next up, dinner.
It’s important! You only have so many dinners on vacation. Just a few options to have the most delicious food ever! With no kids. I scoped it out, looked at the amazing steakhouse, Italian restaurants, there are definitely some options, but something different caught my eye! I chose Best Friends, located inside the MgM Park hotel. Chef Roy Choi has pulled out all the stops to make you feel like you are walking into LA. From the low riders on the wall, the waiters in their green track suits, the music playing, you have stepped directly into the heart of LA.
The menu is filled with flavorful Korean dishes with a bit of LA street food inspiration.
And Adult SLUSHEES. ADULT SLUSHEES. Like real slushees.
We chose the shrimp, pork tacos and veggie plate. It. WAS. SO SO SO good.
Oh! And the best part.
I almost forgot, the HAWAIIAN ROLLS. Any restaurant that serves me warm, sweet, hawaiian rolls at the beginning of my meal gets 5 stars immediately.
The people next to us even joked “Don’t look away or we might steal those!”

Next up: Eataly
Walk yourself over to Park MGM and walk into Italy!
That’s right, you heard me. Really. Italy.
We’ve visited Italy half a dozen times, I’m pretty much a self made Italian food professional spotter.
This place has it all, from pasta, charcuterie boards, fish, Italian wine, Italian cookies, you name it, if it’s from Italy you can probably find it here.
You can fill your own cannolis. Did you hear me? FILL YOUR OWN. There is a restaurant plus individual bars, pizza, pasta, cheeses, wine set up in a large market place.
We settled for the restaurant with the patio at front that offered most of the items at the individual bars.
It had a great patio for people watching too! Which is a plus is Las Vegas, because people watching is my favorite!
I got Pasta and the Master got Pizza. This pasta. Thick. Perfectly cooked. If you’ve had pasta in Italy you know the texture. It was SO good! This is a great lunch spot or place to spend the afternoon trying all the different choices!

No more bored kids, here’s a new activity!

With summer in full swing I feel like I’m constantly looking for “new” activities to keep them from saying THOSE words: I’m BORED! It’s a constant battle between not over exhausting them to the point of melt downs and keeping them active so they aren’t burning down the house.

Patriot loves building things, stacking things & putting things together.

I came across this straw constructor pack. It includes 300 pieces and a bag to keep them in.

He can build, build AND build! I figured with my Captain Destructo the straws weren’t going to last very long, we’re going on almost a month! I tried different straws and most worked! WIN!

This is definitely an activity that will keep them busy!

Summer is here & it’s bathing suit time!

When we were buying our home, my husband had one demand. It must have a pool and spa. We are in the water ALL the time so I’m constantly on the lookout for great suits! Here are some of my favorites.

Red Bathing Suit
This is one of my all time favorite suits! Especially when you’re chasing kids.
It has amazing tummy control and keeps the girls held up and in! This suit has full boot coverage and does not ride up!

Bikini with Strappy Front
If you’re in the market for a bikini don’t pass this one up! It a bit risqué, with the front criss cross but holds everything in. The bottoms to this bikini are a bit cheeky so beware if you’re looking for something with more coverage.

Black Bathing Suit
SEXY! This bathing suit may be a one piece but the deep “V” and tie top make it the super sexy. This is more of a “laying by the pool relaxing” not a “chase the kids” around suit. This bathing suit has full booty coverage.

Black Fringe
It hides it all! This is the perfect suit when you’re feeling a bit bloated because it hides it all and has great booty coverage. I ordered the navy and black, they are my go to!

Blue Tie Dye
Cupshe! Cupshe! Cupshe! Gets it right! This comfy suit has full coverage. It’s a great suit for chasing the kids around or water activities! This bathing suit has moderate booty coverage.

Keyhole Bikini
I wasn’t sure about this suit, but I love it! The top ties around the neck and has a keyhole. Beware of tan lines on this one especially on top. The bottoms are very cheeky and have a strap that goes around your hip below your waste.
