If you
missed my Vegas Ladies Weekend recaps you can find Part One here and
Part Two here.
Our
flight didn't leave Vegas until 4:35pm so we still had a little bit
of time to enjoy the remainder of our weekend. Danielle was able to show me a side of
Vegas I have never seen before: the spa.
We
headed to breakfast at Planet Dailies. We were both wanting something yummy like a cinnamon roll or waffles so we split an omelet with home-fried potatoes and ordered a cinnamon roll. It hit the spot!
We had
an awesome waitress and when I asked for cream and a lot of Splenda
for my coffee she delivered. Nothing says morning like an overdose
of sugar substitute.
Our
resort fee at the hotel included use of the fitness center and the
spa facilities. I have never been to a spa for anything other than a
massage so Danielle was happy to show me the ropes. We checked out
of our room and into Spa by Mandara. We put on some robes and sat in
the steam room and the jacuzzi. It was heaven and after all the
alcohol I consumed my body feel good to sweat a bit. Since it is a full spa they also have all the amenities for showering and getting ready. The products provided for use smelled so good. It was a really relaxing
experience.
We
ventured on foot to Bellagio so we could see the decorations in the
conservatory. They change the decorations about four times a year.
It was all decked out for fall. The need to photo-bomb everybody
taking photos around me was huge...but I resisted. I think I have
created a monster!
For our final meal in Vegas we headed to Paris in search of yummy french pastries. We found a little restaurant called Cafe Belle Madeline which had the most amazing looking dessert case.
They also had prepared salads at a decent price. I ordered the tiramisu and Danielle ordered a cheesecake so we could have a little of each. I liked her cheesecake best.
It was
time to say goodbye to Las Vegas, at least for this trip, and we
hailed a cab to the airport. We arrived about an hour and half
early. We joked it was the only time this weekend we were early! I
was again made fun of on the plane ride home when I ordered my
special drinks. The flight attendant was hilarious! I had a mix of
orange juice and cranberry juice and rum this time instead of vodka.
Our
drinks on our return flight were compliments of two people we didn't
know. When I was printing my boarding pass for the flight I saw
there were two separate free drink coupons that were unclaimed. The rules
of the drink tickets are that they cannot be sold, bought, bartered,
or traded. Nothing says they can't be stolen. Thank you to whomever
gave us our free drinks!
With
all good things...it came to and end. I had so much fun with
Danielle and I am so happy she was willing to travel with me. I look
forward to other travel opportunities in the future.
