Eating and Dancing in Vegas

Now that you know what to wear, where to stay, and what to see in Las Vegas, let’s talk food and dancing! Conveniently located across the street from the LINQ is Hell’s Kitchen, home to world-famous chef Gordon Ramsay! From specialty cocktails, delectable apps and mains, to a heavenly dessert menu, you cannot go wrong with this restaurant choice. Standout food items include: meatball appetizer, beef wellington, and sticky toffee pudding.

After dinner, cross the street to the Cromwell and burn off some calories on the dance floor at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub. This indoor/outdoor nightclub features mostly hip-hop music. Dress to impress and prepare for a late night. Remember, the party doesn’t start till 11 pm in Las Vegas.

This rose gold wrap dress is PERFECT for a night on the strip. Not only would I absolutely freeze in a dress like this in San Francisco, but I would probably get a lot of puzzled looks! Las Vegas and New York Fashion Week have something in common. You can wear whatever the heck you want! I am always confident in my clothes (or I would not wear them) but it was my first time wearing a sheer-overlay dress. What little “anxiety” I had was long gone once I saw about 10 other women in similar styles. Full Disclosure: I had it shortened a couple of inches and I am wearing four inch heels. Aside from that, the built-in bodysuit and criss cross straps are petite girl friendly. Remember this the next time you pack for a trip to Vegas: ANYTHING GOES!

“You can’t do that to your parents”

Never let someone else stand in your way of fulfilling your dreams. Growing up in the Northeast I made up my mind early that I would attend college somewhere in the South. I wanted a new experience. I can still remember the reaction I got from friends’ moms when I proudly told them I was off to Baton Rouge, LA for my junior and senior years of college. “You can’t do that to your parents.” “You are going even FARTHER away from home?!” Watch me, I thought to myself! It had nothing to do with the relationship I had with my parents (it’s wonderful in case you’re wondering). Instead, it had everything to do with following my dreams.

Well, as you can probably imagine, it was shocking for our friends and family to find out that we were moving to San Francisco five years ago. “But you’ve already established a practice.” “Do you know anyone in SF?” We’ll build a bigger and better practice and meet a lot of people, we thought to ourselves!
