What Happens In Vegas, Stays in Vegas....

This week I am taking you on a journey to what is one of my absolute favorite places to be in the whole world. The fabulous city of Las Vegas Nevada!

Located in the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas is such an iconic place. Everyone has heard of it. Its known for the nightlife and gambling and shows. Such a fun place to be whether you're with your friends, family, significant other, this is the place to go. Fun Fact: I actually got married in Vegas in February 2016.

Be an All Day Tourist.

There is so much to do in the morning, afternoon, night anytime of day really. The nightlife in Vegas is where it is at. From shows to museums to clubs. There are so many shows you can choose from in vegas. I would recommend waiting until the day you get there to buy your tickets. A lot of people think that they save money buying the tickets in advance weeks before. Unless you're specifically there to see Bruno Mars, or George Straight or someone insanely famous, I dont find that to be true. I would say your first day there go to one of the half priced ticket booths on the strip and buy from there. They are cheaper and you can see more options. Plus is you buy weeks before you may not even remember or have the time to do what you paid for. My recommendation is the Blue Man Group, they are worth whatever you pay.

Museums are a must as well.  The boneyard museum is an amazing sight, especially at night. It is made of old vegas signs and lights that were once used on the strip and no longer needed and the its super cool when you see the signs lit up after dark.

Gambling is always fun too, unless you're not into that. Everywhere you go theres a slot machine so you're eventually gonna give in. Day drinking with your friends is fun, ONLY IF YOURE OF LEGAL AGE. Go for the big huge over sized drinks that you can barely hold because well why not. Its like Texas the bigger the better. 

Clubs are always epic! Pretty much anywhere on  the strip has a dance club. They are super fun to hang with your friends and dance the night away, and drink responsibly.

Lodging On the Strip Isn't Always the Best.

I know Im probably going to say the opposite of what most say, but dont stay on the strip. Maybe if you're only going to go once sure it might be worth it but its too expensive for what is only going to be used to hold your clothes and for you to take a shower. I recommend staying somewhere decent priced like Hilton Garden Inn, Embassy Suites, something normal because you can always UBER OR LYFT never Taxi unless you wanna pay more for that than your whole trip. They always drag in you on the prices on the strip saying $45 a night.... but that never actually happens unless its like a dead time of the year, plus what kills you is the resort fee. Every hotel on the strip will charge about $30-$50 EXTRA PER NIGHT. You're really looking at around $100 per night, thats crazy. You're not really going to be there the whole time anyways. Plus you want your hotel to be nice and quiet while you're trying to rest for the next day not crazy and loud where you are worried about a drunk person running down the hallways looking for the slot machine.

If you ever go anywhere in life, let Las Vegas be a place to at least go once. I also highly recommend Burger inside Planet Hollywood as a place to eat if you want to be speedy on food. Just save a little money and get your party on!

Keep It Weird!!

This week we are coming back home to Texas. Austin, Texas in fact. There is so much in the Capital of the Lone Star State. I would say quick drive but everyone knows i35 aint a quick drive.

DONUTS!!

First lets take a ride to one of my favorite places in the whole city, Voodoo Donuts on Sixth street! I love donuts so much. They have so many different kinds to choose from. There is your classics with sprinkles and frosted or your glazed but, they also have ones with captain crunch cereal, oreo, maple and bacon, coco pebbles and much more! Whatever you are in the mood for they most likely have it at Voodoo! They even have vegan options for those who are vegan/vegetarian.

Hope Outdoor Gallery

Also known as the famous Graffiti Wall! This place may be covered in graffiti from every which way but its the art concept that makes it beautiful. Anyone can go and add a little or a lot to what they want. Yes, it is legal. You can go all the way to the top of the wall and see a beautiful view of the crazy city of Austin. There is so many different styles of art. Its such a great place to take photos. Just be sure to wear good shoes as you are climbing a little. 

Keep Austin Weird!!

Of course there is the FAMOUS Sixth street. If you dont know what that is, then you aren't from Texas. Its literally a a street full of bars, not that far from the University of Texas at Austin, Go Longhorns!! College kids get crazy. There is always something to do, drink and eat on sixth street. Just remember dont drink and drive.
