I realize this is supposed to stay in Vegas.
And one or two incriminating pics definitely will…
Lucie, Vegas, and I had such an amazing time in Sin City sinning celebrating Lucie’s birthday. I can’t help but to share some of it. I think these pics (mostly) speak for themselves.
Blogger-appropriate road snacks.
The desert is full of #strangebutgood
Sooooo not amused by the aliens taking a front row parking spot at Alien Jerky

Requisite post-workout selfie

Sunday morning – the only pic I snuck (that I can share) at Venus – the topless pool.

It was a marvelous weekend. I can’t believe last year I was in Switzerland celebrating with Lucie and this year she’s in the US with me!
Have you ever been to Vegas?
What’s the best birthday you’ve ever had?
Ahh what an epic birthday! That’s how you do it. I’ve been to Vegas once… but that isn’t nearly enough. I still think my best birthday was getting a trampoline, age 4. Still can’t beat it and it’s been a while…
A trampoline as a kid is like winning the lottery!
Oh whah talk about an epic birthday celebration- looks so fun and where better than Vegas! I can’t decide on my best birthday- I feel like each year only gets better & better! As long s there’s good food &I’m with friends/family, that’s enough to make it a perfect birthday! (cheesy I know)!
Birthday cheese is totally acceptable. 🙂
My extended family always went to Vegas for vacation as a kid – and where did grandpa go at 4AM??? – but I haven’t gone there as an adult! I have friends who go to the clubs there, but I’m not as interested in that as I am in ALL THAT FOOD! 🙂
Amazing! Looks like an incredible time!
My best birthday was probably my 21st as I did the big marquee party thing… We got noise complaints after though and had to take an apology letter round the village! Bit awkward.
Sounds like you did it right! 🙂
I should be embarrassed—but Im not 🙂 — by how I scour your pics on the book of the face and live vicariously :0)
OMG I was just at Caesar’s in February celebrating my brother-in-laws birthday! I want to cry seeing the pool pics because we had so much fun hanging out there!!! Looks like you ate, drank and worked out well….bravo!
Isn’t it unreal?! It’s like it is it’s own city!
Looks like you guys had a blast! I really need to get to Vegas for a mini vaca. There’s no way I’m getting into a swimsuit anytime soon. Ugh the battle continues!
You gotta let that one go. Allllll kinds of people were strutting their stuff in bikinis. It was kind of comforting.
My husband has been to Vegas several times, and he gambles/plays cards. I like your version of Vegas–pools and people watching and food
We gambled a little, but I’m more about the sunshine and food! And you’re right on with the people watching… no shortage of entertainment!
Before I decided to uproot my life, I was supposed to be going to Vegas in September. I’m hoping that everything will still work out and I’ll be able to go, because you’re giving me travel envy!
Let me know if you do! We go about once a month!
What an awesome birthday celebration! 🙂 I haven’t been to Caesar’s Palace yet in Vegas but it looks really nice 😉 Loving that pool! And Margaritas are always breakfast for champions, Lol. Have a great one Laura! -Iva
Fun! I’ve been to Vegas twice and it’s always a blast.
dang, i wish i could be there… had been there. yay for vegas, for bday fun with lucie, and for a nice tan. P.s the kiwi just left there.
Why didn’t you tell me?! We would have taken hi to dinner!
Aaaah this looks and sounds sooooooooooo good! I’ve been to Las Vegas last year and I am going to be there again this September. The Caesar’s was my dream hotel but it was so so expensive that we settle for a different one. Can’t wait to go now! If we have half the fun you seem you had it’ll be absolutely worth it!
We were really lucky to get a deal… it’s pretty incredible!
Maybe its because Im an old lady, but Vegas really isn’t my scene. Although if I went with a girlfriend instead of my husband it may have been more fun! we went for our anniversary and didn’t go to any shows or anything, just walked around pretty much, and we ended up leaving and going to Disneyland instead [we live in LA]. I guess Disney land is just my kind of crazy! 😉
I can see that… there really is something for everyone though. Laying by the pool in the desert sun is sooooo relaxing!
Definitely a fun place to spend a birthday! Looks like you had a blast 🙂
Argh, you guys look like you had a blast!!!! I’ve totally not been jealous on instagram….. 😉
Should have moved to the west coast… 😉
I’m glad to hear that Lucie had such an awesome birthday! I’ve never been to Vegas, but Chef-friend and I are talking about maybe going next Spring. Which would be awesome because it’s high on my list of places to go.
Let me know if you do!!! You’ll love it.
Hi Laura! Yes! I love Vegas. I went there for my bachelorette party a few years ago. We stayed at the Bellagio, ate at Mesa Grill, saw the Beatles Cirque show and hit up a pool party and some clubs. My favorite part though? Dessert at Serendipity ahhaha! Glad you had so much fun!
Gahhhh! We were RIGHT there and I still didn’t get a chance to try Serendipity. Next time!
See I’m not the only one spilling all the dirty details.
I had such a fantastic time with you two equally crazy ladies, and I can’t wait to do it all over again in the near future….say 2017 (snort).
P.S. I like the way you breakfast.
HA! I’m not buying the 2017 thing. Vegas wants to meet you, btw…
i have been stalking your photos and it looked like so much fun. happy belated to Luci 🙂 I went to Vegas on my 21st birthday and thats been forever.
You should go back! It seems like they add something new every month!
I can’t believe we were there at the same time!! I am so glad to see you had fun!
I know!!!!!! One day we are destined to actually meet up!
And um, now I MUST SEE these photos that didn’t make the blog! ha ha ah!
You would have if you hadn’t flaked… crazy LA actress girl. 😛
Sounds like you had a FABULOUS time in Vegas!
