Four years ago, I went to Las Vegas for the first time, for a truly epic bachelorette party. Last week, I made my return. While my priorities were a little different – I was not about to sacrifice sleep – I still had an excellent time. The best parts were:

  1. Staying at the Flamingo Las Vegas. This is a Caesars property, and it was super convenient for me to get to the conference taking place at Caesars palace. Plus, it was a great price. I had plenty of room, and I loved checking out the flamingo habitat on-site before heading out for the day. I only popped in for their buffet when I was there in 2017, but I’d definitely recommend staying at the Flamingo.
  1. Eating at Hell’s Kitchen. Y’all know I love to eat well when I’m traveling, and this trip was no exception. While I had some good meals at Beijing Noodle No. 9 (I tried jellyfish) and Mercato Della Pescheria, Hel’’s Kitchen made the meal that stole my heart. I had tried to make reservations ahead of time and couldn’t – book early! – but we were able to grab a table for lunch. We did the lunch pre-fixe, and I’m still raving about it. The beet salad, the beef wellington, the sticky toffee pudding…

I also really enjoyed an event at Topgolf, which was a ton of fun and close to everything happening on the Las Vegas Strip. Plus, the weather was gorgeous! It was a quick trip, with my “bleisure” time spent mostly watching Friends in my hotel bed, but it was a good one. If you can get out to Vegas for a few days, even if that means flying a budget airline, you should go for it.
