Waking Up in Vegas
Hi guys! Happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a beautiful and relaxing Sunday.
We are slowly, but surely, eating our way through the city of Las Vegas.
After our day at the pool yesterday, we came back to the hotel to chillax before going out. I did a lovely 30 minute Detox Challenge flow from YogaDownload.com. It felt SO good to stretch and twist.
For dinner, we wanted to do something *low key* since we’re going to B-flizzle’s (aka Bobby Flay’s) restaurant Mesa Grill tonight and also had epic plans for bfast this morning 😉
Somehow, our plans for something light and casual went down the drain and we ended up at Yellowtail at The Bellagio.
My beverage of choice was the Essence cocktail, which had cucumber and lemon- so light and refreshing.
We started with the edamame- one had sea salt and the other had a sweet chili sauce
The pilot’s miso soup came out in a little cauldron 🙂
I had the best seaweed salad I’ve ever feasted on
The pilot ordered a crab roll and a salmon roll
And fresh, beautiful salmon sashimi
I chose the grilled eggplant, which had a glorious soy ginger sauce
And we just rolled with it and got dessert for kicks 😀
Chocolate lava cake with banana foam and mint ice cream.
For realz.
I have no words. It was amazing.
Since we were at the Bellagio, we had to stop and watch the fountains, which are choreographed to music and put on a show every 15 minutes at night.
If you ever find yourself in Vegas (which I hope you do! It’s pretty baller), the #1 thing (IMO) that you *have* to do is watch the fountains. It’s perfect 🙂
We ended up being little party animals (for us!) last night. We went two-step dancing with the gang at a country bar, booty-shaking at a club (are you proud, Snacky??) and had some wine at Parasol Up in the Wynn later on (thanks for the recommendation, Beth!).
I had a glass of Riesling:
Not a bad night 😉 And yup, I only had two drinks even though we were out til 4am. The little granny managed to stay awake past 11pm and had a blasty 😀
We just got back from our breakfast feast –they had MILLET BREAD- (more on that to come) but are going to get ready for the day and explore the city before heading to Bobby Flay’s restaurant for dinner.
Have a wonderful day!
Gina

Looks like fun!! I love roasted Egg plant. You have to try the buffet at the Wynn. It’s not a typical buffet- it’s all gourmet foods with lots of healthy and all fresh options! It changed my life. haha. It’s pretty expensive but TOTALLY worth it!
glad to see you are having fun!!!! The food look so amazing!
I could seriously live at the Wynn. I just think it’s so beautiful in there. Have fun at Mesa Grill – I went for brunch once and that was faboosh, so I can only imagine how wonderful dinner will be!
i love sushi, its so fun and adventurous. I want to go to Vegas so bad now!
OMG I AM SOOO JEALOUS of you girl!!! 🙂 I know I keep saying this but your meals are to die for! And that cucumber martini looks fantastic…Hope you were able to meet up with Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe! 😉

now all i really want is some seaweed salad…what an AMAZING spread!
Love Yellowtail! Have you guys gone to Prime? It’s really good, too!
no, we haven’t! i’ll have to check it out 🙂
Sound *fabulous*! I’m so glad you’re having a good time! Cannot believe you stayed up til 4am…I definitely wouldn’t have been able to! 🙂
Simple and light always ends up being extravagant for my BF and I too…but I can’t complain, we had the MOST AMAZING INDIAN FOOD EVER on Friday when we picked somewhere spur of the moment!
This looks like a seriously AMAZING trip, that eggplant dish and the dessert look absolutely killer! And the pilot’s choices look pretty yummy as well 🙂 Hope you enjoy Bobby Flay tonight!!
That japanese meal looks SO good! So jealous 🙂
I’ve never been to that restaurant at the Bellagio…will have to check it out!! I haven’t been to Mesa Grill either so I’m excited to hear about it!
Your Vegas trip sounds better and better with each post!! Now I really want to visit! 😉
Oh, Gina, it looks like you’re having such a great time! 🙂 My husband was sent there for work for 10 days last year and said it was definitely an experience. I hope I get to go at least one time in my life.
Thanks for the tour of the city! Looking forward to hearing more.
the seeweed salad and grilled eggplant sounds amazing! 🙂 have fun living it up in vegan and enjoying doing some new things (doesn’t dancing make you feel great?!) i can’t wait to hear about your experience at bobby flay’s since i just went to his restaurant in NYC.

All of that sushi and other food at yellowtail looks SO good! Glad you are having so much fun 🙂
4 am??? I don’t think I could swing that these days! Your dinner looks awesome.
I can’t believe you stayed out till 4AM!
I love how the pilot’s meal was presented in a little cauldron. It must have made the food taste THAT much better 🙂
Mmm I ate at Yellowtail last month…my friend knows someone who works there so we pretty much got hooked up with every appetizer on the menu! 😉 soooo amazing! I had that cucumber drink as well–also wonderful!
that’s so awesome! can you get the hookup to sit on the patio and watch the fountains?? we begged but apparently you have to know someone or book wayyyy in advance. and yes, the cocktail was wonderful!
Omg looks like your having a blastyyy!
I am going there this summer and I’m so excited:)
You made me want sushi!
wow you sure get the travel bug this time of year! I hope you get to see some good shows in vegas. I’m dying to see the new cirque with the water

So jealous I want to be ”waking up in Vegas”!!!
Glad you’re having fun! Love the cuke-lemon cocktail, yum!!!! 😀
As a married couple how to you have the discipline to stick to your diet.
When the Pilot is eating different food?
I am married and it is really difficult.
it’s usually not too bad because he eats pretty healthy and because i’ve been eating this way for so long, i don’t crave unhealthy foods so much. if i do, i just have a few bites and i’m good 🙂
it’s one of those things where the more you do it, the easier it gets
Wow, it looks like you guys are living it up in Vegas 🙂
Chocolate lava cake with banana foam AND mint icecream…..seriously….sounds to die for!!!!
mmmm….that sushi looks amazing.”
and what in the world is banana foam??
I’ll be in Vegas in August! Can’t wait!
ugh i hate vegas! fucking skanks everywhere
Oh. My. Gosh. I AM SO PROUD!!! Haha oh wait, I just saw the comment above me. Hysterical.
Despite that, I still want to go to Vegas. It looks like you and the Pilot had the most incredible time! I’d go for the food alone. OK, and maybe to look like an abovementioned “skank” and get away with it.
So, so glad you danced, drank and ate to the fullest (well, maybe not that fullest, but you know what I mean!)! xoxoxo
looks like a great time! I have always wanted to go to Vegas!
