Ali's Faves in Vegas

We’ve been to Vegas quite a few times over the last few years. Tickets from Seattle are cheap, the weather is usually good, and the food is EPIC. I eat so well when we are down there. Like so well. And I love a good hotel sleep. So it’s the best of all the worlds - hotel sleep + ridiculous amounts of food.

We don’t gamble so we don’t know anything about that. I literally go for the food and the sun.

EATS

Best Friend - in the MGM Park - Roy Choi’s Korean fusion restaurant is epic. We go every time we’re there!

Giada - at the Cromwell - Phenomenal Italian food with even better service. Totally surprising for a celeb TV chef restaurant. There are plenty to choose from, but this is tops.

Lago - in the Bellagio - Has a great brunch! And you can see the fountain. Don’t miss the Bloody Mary.

Bardot Brassierie - in the Aria - Another great brunch! The hash browns are like giant tater tots and I’m totally here for it.

DRINKS

Chandelier Bar - in the Cosmopolitan - three levels of a fun space, with a great martini

Rhum Bar - in the Mirage - great for mai tais and an outdoor patio that’s cute, not on the strip

Mama Rabbit - in the MGM Park - a tequila bar that’s epic. Tell your bartender what you like to drink, the custom drinks are perfection.

Vesper Bar - in the Cosmopolitan - order the Vesper.

SIGHTS

Meow Wolf - a wild art installation in Area 15 that’s worth the Uber ride

Wayne Newton - Mr. Vegas himself still puts on a heck of a show.

LOVE - Cirque du Soliel meets the Beatles - it’s super fun if you like 60’s music

Taco Bell Cantina - a night club in a Taco Bell. Are you kidding me?

Fremont Street - Vintage Vegas at its finest. But don’t stay long.

Eataly - Less produce and actual groceries than the NYC outpost but way more food to snack on.
