To me, Craftsteak was more formal, whereas Heritage was slightly more laidback. We'd been to his other steak house, Craftsteak, on a previous trip to Vegas, and it too is fantastic, they just have different vibes. The space is beautiful and the food was amazing. When Rico was finished with his meetings, we headed over to the Mirage for a dinner reservation at Tom Colicchio's Heritage Steak. Breakfast at the Henry in the Cosmo, lunch at Hexx in Paris, where I had the BEST chicken BLT with a bib lettuce and coco nib salad. Note to bourbon drinkers: when you order a Four Roses at the Cosmo, this is what they bring you. Of course, we also has to step into Hermes, so I could ogle bracelets and Scarves.Įventually, we wandered over to the Cosmopolitan, and found a couple of machines to entertain us. Rico came to collect me around 5, and we headed over to the Bellagio to grab a snack at the Petrossian Bar & spend some $ at the slots. I was able to keep the game going for quite a while on the same $20, so I played until Rico was finished with his meetings. I couldn't get my confidence up enough to try a table, so I found a video poker machine at the sports bar in PH. My parents are blackjack masters and had given us a few sessions before we left.

The carpet at the spa was really, and I mean REALLY dingy, and the wicker furniture in the lounge was not comfortable, but what the spa lacked in amenities was more than made up for in the quality of service & the friendly desk employees.Īfter my massage, I headed up to my room to get cleaned up and then went down to to the casino to try my hand at blackjack.

I enjoyed my massage, but the spa was definitely not the Bellagio. I enjoyed an 8o minute Swedish massage, and then sat in the dry sauna for a bit.

I was told that I could use the jacuzzi tub and the dry sauna, but that the steam sauna was out of order, which was disappointing. I was checked in by two super nice spa employees, and was lead back to the locker room. The spa entrance was beautiful, so I was super excited to see the rest. I wound up with these Blowfish 'Shanghai' shoes, which were amazingly comfortable. I also needed to find a shoe store, since I'd only packed my Aquatalia ankle & knee high boots and Uggs. The Sephora also has the Pat McGrath collection in store, so I spent a good amount of time making googly eyes at the palettes and lipstick. I can't say I was too impressed with the stores, but there is a Sephora, so I was clearly in heaven. We hung out in our room for a bit, then headed into the Miracle Mile shopping center. We made our way up to the 34th floor, and were treated to a room with a view of the strip. We headed back to PH and were given our room keys. Did I mention the DUCK BACON? because it was DELICIOUS.Īfter lunch, we wandered over to Paris and hung out until about 2, when we thought a room might be ready. Rico ordered the Forrest Burger, which had DUCK BACON, and fries. I couldn't have any of the sides, but the burger was plenty. I ordered the 'Anniversary Burger' which was essentially ground steak, short ribs, frisee, and pickled shallots. Since I'm allergic to wheat & gluten, and am currently adhering to the Keto way of eating, a burger without the bun is usually my best option.

We decided on Gordon Ramsay Burger in PH. We wandered around a bit, trying to kill time until the clock struck 11, and lunch spots opened. We dropped our luggage off at the lobby, as it was way too early for check in, and made our way into the hotel to try to find some lunch. Paris & the Bellagio are my favorite Vegas hotels, and I was excited that PH was so close to them. I'd never stayed at PH before, but was excited about the location. We landed in Vegas at around 10:15am, collected our bags, found our ride and were whisked away to Planet Hollywood. We left Cincinnati on Tuesday morning & miraculously, had a direct flight from CVG to McCarran. I just like a place where you can let your freak flag fly. I'm sorry.' I am firmly in the 'Love It' category, but I can see why others may not. When I told people where I was going, I was either asked if they could come along, or was told 'Ew. I've never met anyone who had a neutral opinion of Las Vegas.
