Viva! Las Vegas!!

An April 2003 trip to Las Vegas by PATRICIANN

Las Vegas never let's me down! Wow...there is always something interesting to do! Warm weather, shopping, pools, gambling, nightlife---what else can you ask for?

We checked in early and luckily got a nice Belligio fountain view room up on the 28th floor with two beds. (They don't guarantee 2 beds without a fee.) The room was nice, but not overly plush like the Belligio. We paid $89 a night so we weren't complaining. the elevators are all within 7 doors of your room. You don't have to go through the casino to get to the pool. The huge shopping mall was right there outside the Alladin doors!!!

Restaurant

We didn't have to wait long to get a table and our waitress was very funny and good. The house red wine was nice. I had a tomato, basil, and mozzarella pizza with a yummy salad that had a vinegrette and toasted pecans. We split the tiramisu which was delicious!

PF Chang's China BistroBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "P. F. Chang's"

We ate here twice since it was soooo good! We started off with martini's, chocolate espresso, blood red, apple pucker-----they were all good. The waitstaff was fun and informative. We ate lettuce wraps (spicy chicken that you spoon into very fresh lettuce leaves) and Chilean sea bass. Everything was perfect!

I've been here before and was on my way to another nightclub.....but the music was sooo good! It always is. We closed it down! The dance floor moves like you are on a barge!

Oh my gosh! Please....do not wear high heels here! We were only going to be here an hour and back to the pool.....9 hours later we left because they closed!! The Nordstrom is the newest, biggest and best I've ever seen. Thank you soo much to Jeremy in the make-up department who made us over, brought us a pick me up elixior drink and made it all so much fun!

GhostbarBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "The Ghost Bar"

This was not what I expected--no live music or dancing. Lots of couches and chairs and a huge outside patio. It was windy and cold but I had to go see the plexiglass deck. You are 52 stories high standing on a clear deck! There is also a Marilyn Monroe type of wind hole that will blast your skirt up! The 360 degree view was outstanding! We didn't stay long after that though.
