[luck.ofthe.draw]

So this happened last night!


Not my best Unicow win, but put me up and still lots of fun!



Got back to the room at 2a, less than 5hrs later, it was time to go Black Friday shopping with mom! (Ugh I was dragging)


Christmas decor getting put up! Vegas wastes no time !






Obligatory stop and beat the crowds!



This new line with Milk Bar is soo cute





Scored extra savings with coupons too!


Then swung by Petco before heading to Kohls.











Yes

Then it was back to the hotel, for a nap and enjoying the room before late check out.

After nap time, it was time to check out of our hotel and get lunch! Back to Cosmo!


This seasonal squash salad was SO GOOD.


and of course queso


And some Golden Pigs!

FunTR. Seems like you had a good time on the strip. The salt and straw ice cream is exciting news.is that sign in front of Paris? I looked on their website but didn’t see news of a strip location. Congrats on the Unicw! I still haven’t managed to land one.

Last night was more shopping, then 2nd Thanksgiving dinner with roasted turkey breast, homemade au gratin potatoes, gravy, and stuffing that I made ahead and froze. Came out soo good!

Penny also got a new Christmas collar and leash!

Hannah was hiding under the new Christmas pet beds. Wrap up to follow

Glad you had a fun time! I don't think I saw any VP pics in here though.

Wrap up:
The stay at Vdara was great - minimal complaints - the TV in the bedroom kept freezing, but I went down to the front desk and someone came up quick to fix it! Housekeeping was awesome, front desk was awesome and the valet service was a breeze.

3 nights was perfect - but it was weird not staying at Cosmo on Thanksgiving.

That new walkway is bitchin' though - you hardly have to go outside if you don't want to! Getting to Aria, Bellagio and Cos was efficient and quick!

The Gaming:
The gambling was good, absolutely could not lose on some games, and even caught 1 Unicow! Had lots of fun spending time with @Vegas Erica and @breanna61 !

The food:

It was great to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner with S & my mom - the food at Guy Fieri's was amazing and the portions were perfect.

Dining at several spots at Cosmo is always nice and delicious, and China Poblano has some awesome seasonal dishes on the menu.

All in all, a great trip and quality time with some favorites!

Today was go-home day for my mom, but we were able to decorate a little before she left!


Happy holidays, VMB!

Jackson is doing his annual taste testing of the fake tree....too much of that and he'll be puking pine needles. This year I noticed Hannah trying to copy him, so hopefully she doesn't!

Penny loves the ambiance.

Yep, the Salt & Straw will be near Paris! Super excited for that one.

And yes! Catching the Unicow was awesome! I hope you get one in the new year!

Just love Vdara and glad it's still nice. Really enjoyed the pics of the late night walk home. Great sights and good memories. Thank you.
The cheesecake with the leaves was gorgeous. Unexpectedly luxe for that restaurant.
That milkbar collab was adorable and smells fantastic. BBW has a brilliant marketing/advertising team-really sucks you in !
