Vegas, Baby, VEGAS!!

I just got back from a great weekend in Vegas! It was a perfect time to go; I just wrapped up a challenging (but fun) assignment at work and was 100% free and clear to do whatever the hell I wanted! Woo hoo!

Also... I got my first paycheck on Friday. It was effing huge and oh so glorious. Since I'm already $45K in the red with law school loans, I plan to be frugal and reasonable this summer despite the huge payouts every two weeks.

However... a girl can only be frugal for so long, so I decided F it: I'm buying a Coach purse in Vegas! I found the perfect one... my heart leapt when I saw the lining:



It's so divine.

Vegas was great... I ate too much yummy food and had an abundance of alcohol. The Sapphire & Tonic at Gallagher's was by far one of the best I've ever had made for me by a bartender.

The first night I did really well on the penny slots at Paris. I put in $20 and it lasted me 3 hours! At one point I was up $27 but then I lost it of course (so much dashed hope there in Sin City). I did get three free SoCo & Cokes while I was sitting there (it tastes like cherry coke, I'm not kidding. it's dangerous).

Saturday I bought the aforementioned handbag and walked around several casinos drinking a margarita out of this. I could've opted for a plastic eiffel tower-shaped container for my margarita but by my estimate it contained the equivalent of 4 margaritas and honestly I didn't want to get that shitfaced at 1pm.

On Sunday we had brunch at the Bellagio and it was delish! Thank god we got there right when the line was short... the food was so good and so amazing. Thanks to Ren for the tip!

Here are some pics!

I have to stay at the Paris next time... it's awesome:

OMG, I've been so shameless with the new bag, pushing it in everyone's face at work. I go out of my way to force them to feel up the lining. Ridiculous!
