I'm feelin 22! And this year for my birthday I decided to celebrate in Las Vegas where the party goes on all weekend long! Check out the link to this video of my stay at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas to see some of the highlights.
I have written up some of my favorite spots from the weekend for you guys as a guide to the best places to celebrate in Las Vegas! Some of these places are great for a girls weekend or just a relaxing getaway too! Let me know if you have been to any of these places in the comments! I also included my styles for each day and night to give you some packing inspo for your next trip. Basically the only style tip you need to remember for Vegas is: Sequins are always in!
Day 1: on my first day in town I arrived in the afternoon and checking into my hotel the Paris Las Vegas. I love this hotel because I enjoy all things french of course but also for the location! It was the perfect home base for my birthday weekend and has a great spot right on the strip. The hotel is super fun to stay at and honestly I could spend an entire weekend just exploring the property! To start with there is the Eiffel tower attraction complete with a delicious french restaurant on the third floor just like the real Eiffel tower in France! You also can't miss the "Village Shops" a row of eateries and souvenir stores set on a very authentic recreation of a Parisian boulevard complete with cobblestone streets! My favorite place to grab a midday snack here is the Crepe store where you can order authentic French breakfast crepes made to order or some delicious sweet dessert crepes. After checking in, I headed over to the Fashion Show Mall where I did some birthday shopping and got a free gift box full of coupons and birthday goodies like a confetti shooter and colorful candles! I would definitely recommend stopping by because the fashion show mall is worth seeing while you are in town and the birthday box is a fun bonus if you are spending your special day in Vegas!
Afterwards I headed off the strip for dinner to my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas called the... located in the Gold Coast Casino. This place serves the best prime rib and for my birthday they even gave me a special chocolate espresso cake for dessert which was to die for! If you love classic American cuisine this is the place you have to visit!
Finally I finished my night with a drink on the strip from Gustav's bar back at the Paris enjoying the lights and amazing views of the city.
My looks for Day 1
This was my casual outfit for shopping at the mall. I love this silver sequin skirt for a fun statement piece!
Day 2: For my second day in town I did some more exploring of the Paris hotel and found this fun insta wall in the lobby for taking pictures! Then I headed over to the casino floor for a craps lesson. Here is a Vegas tip for you if you're over 21, if you go down to the casino floor early in the morning between 9-10am they sometimes offer free table lessons which can be a fun way to learn about the different types of games played in the casinos! After a relaxing morning I headed out to high tea at the Waldorf Astoria across the street from the Paris. This high tea comes with some stunning views as well because it is located at the top of the WA in the skybar lounge. This was a super fun birthday activity and a great excuse to get dressed up too! I loved the fancy tea cakes and they even brought me a glass of champagne for my birthday!
After tea I walked back through the Crystal Shops to the Bellagio hotel. The Bellagio is a beautiful hotel with tons of amazing spots to explore but my favorite area is their botanical garden. Each season they change out the design and have a new theme for guests to enjoy. They build elaborate flower displays and sometimes they even move! It is something you can only find in Vegas and definitely worth visiting! This year's theme was Autumn Woods and they had the most beautiful little fairy house displays!
Finally for my birthday dinner I headed over to Giada at the Cromwell. I was so excited to try this Italian restaurant by celebrity Chef Giada, and the food did not disappoint! Although the best part was the amazing views of the strip from the restaurant windows. You can even see the Bellagio's famous water fountain show from some tables!
I finished off my night at the Cosmopolitan hotel's Chandelier bar where I ordered an amazing Peach martini that honestly tasted like Peach ring candy! It was such a fun birthday experience and I loved the sparkly chandelier backdrop!
My Day 2 Looks
I loved this gold sequin dress for my birthday look! It is a tea length dress which was perfect for my afternoon tea in the sky! I did my make up extra sparkly too for Vegas style and finished off using this golden Shiseido lipgloss which went perfectly with my outfit!
Day 3: For my final day in Vegas I headed over to the Premium Outlets in the north end of the city. You know I can't pass up a good shopping opportunity and these outlets have some of the best name brands and amazing prices! Some of my favorite stores where you can find some steals are Armani, Jimmy Choo, Saks Off Fifth and much more! I would recommend making this stop on your last day in town since it is a little out of the way but it is definitely worth it!
My shopping day look
I loved wearing this sparkly purple Shiseido lipgloss to match my sweater and finishd off with a touch of sparkle wearing this tassle necklace from Kollectin.
And a Very Happy 22 Birthday to you, Sierra! And many more!
