We walked down the strip and although we were both tired (when will Gavin sleep for more than 1.5 stretches?!) the energy was contagious! A certain husband told me for days that we should make diner reservations, but for some reason I figured it wouldn't be an issue so... it never happened. We arrived at the restaurant, Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse, and immediately saw a line out the door. Oops.
I saw a man in a suit who looked important and asked him how long the wait was going to be. He said, "Eek, no reservations? At least 45 minutes." Did I mention it was 6:30 and neither Jake or myself had eaten since breakfast?

One word:
HANGRY.
We politely asked if we could wait at the bar, and he said he could actually seat us there & eat off the full menu there. Best anniversary gift ever.
If you've never heard of/been to a Brazialian Steakhouse, they basically are a carnivore's dream come true. Servers walk around with meat on giant skewers and shave off as much as your gluttonous heart desires. The Brazilian steakhouse was my gift to Jake because I don't really care for meat. They had a great "cold bar" with salads and vegetables... and the best part? They made me a huge skewer of roasted vegetables to enjoy. Heaven.
Paired with decadent white Sangria, my wonderful date, and only a few belligerent Las Vegans at the bar... It was a perfect dinner. :)
We wandered in the Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile shops for a bit to let our food settle, then we went to watch the Bellagio fountain show. Best 3 minutes ever. Stunning.
Then the night got crazy. Jake gave us each a dollar to use at the slot machine of our choice.
Jake lost his dollar in one push of a button :( I chose a quarter slot - risky, I know.
But.. it was my lucky day!
He even let me keep my winnings. We quit while we were ahead and called it a night.
10:00PM. We're getting old.

It was a perfect night with the love of my life.
Haha! That would be me at the casino too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks good because most of the times when we think of getting into a way which comes around us normally sources like thousand islands boat tours helps us big time in a way that exists certainly.
ReplyDeleteI love Vegas, and I have some tips for your readers. There are so many casinos fighting for your business, that they are throwing money at you hoping you come spend time with them. Take advantage of free buffet dinners, free shows, free rooms, and free casino cash. Do your homework and you can get a ton of freebies on your trip.
