super late vegas recap

Hey y'all! 

Remember that time I mentioned I was going to Vegas? 

Exactly a month ago today? 

Well, I am finally getting around to recapping the trip. 

I am just going to post all of the pictures at the end of the post; 

in case anyone just wants to skip those. 

This was a work trip 

and, of course, the days were filled with conference sessions, 

which were mostly interesting. 

But the evenings were free and I loved exploring Vegas. 

Now for me, 

any trip is going to revolve around food! 

I am a foodie and I love experiencing new restaurants. 

This is my fair warning, 

there will be many food pictures in this post. ;)

Getting to Vegas was a headache. 

Flight delay due to a brake line failure on the initial airplane out of Atlanta. 

I finally made it to Vegas 3 hours late. 

Granted I am thankful that they found the malfunction before takeoff. 

I am sure that would have been an interesting landing! 

I stayed at the Mandalay Bay Resort. 

I really enjoyed the Mandalay! 

My favorite part was probably the Shark Reef Aquarium. 

They also had a ton of great restaurants on site. 

One night I just wandered the Strip, sightseeing. 

I stopped in M&M world. 

I am talking 4 floors of M&M stuff! 

Another night, I went to the Bellagio Fountains. 

I absolutely loved the Fountains, 

a definite must see for anyone visiting Vegas. 

I loved flying over the Grand Canyon on the flight back home. 

Luckily, the trip back from Vegas was pretty much hassle free. 

I actually landed 20 minutes early in Savannah! 

I really do LOVE flying!

An Irish Pub ... this was my favorite restaurant!
