a very event-ful week…

This was one of those week where I had somewhere to go every single night. I mean, this is Vegas, so of course there is always SOMETHING to do. But this week was actual commitments that I couldn’t blow off because I wanted to sit home. Which was fine because I never want to sit home anyway…

I started the week off like a regular Vegas tourist – by doing dinner and a show. I went to see Jabbawockeez (I am pretty obsessed with hip hop dancing) and then ate everything on the menu at Brand Steakhouse. The show was fun and now I’ve decided I need to go see one at least once a month.

Tuesday I was all ready to go to 1 OAK for industry night but I did an amazing yoga class – at Whole Foods! – and got Pinkberry. I was a wrap after that. But being as that it was my one and only night “off”, it was well worth it.

Wednesday, I was back at it again, attending a charity event at Le Cave at The Wynn to benefit the Animal Foundation. I went with one of my actual old school NYC friends, who now runs a magazine out here, and we had so much fun! I met about 5 other NYers and am now obsessed with this restaurant. Most amazing food and gorgeous view! Oh, and we had the most adorable dessert, served in a dog food bowl:

Normally I hate dessert but I ate it all.

By Thursday, I really was exhausted and wanted to stay home but well, that wasn’t an option. I started off with an amazing lunch at Olive’s at the Bellagio and then stopped by Lily. After a few hours in the office, it was time to go back out…again.

First, I met my friend at yet another charity event, this time for the Anti-Defamation League, at The Bellagio. I absolutely love love love this hotel. The event was fun and it has been great getting to go to these things and meet so many people every night. Honestly, the people in Vegas are unbelievably friendly. And they actually text and email and call. I’ve made like 700 million new friends since I got here ONE MONTH AGO.

After the event, I stopped back at Lily (I seriously can’t get enough of this place!) and then heading home for a power nap – I had to be at Haze at 12:30 AM for our Big Sean event.

I woke up at 11:30 and was so groggy and would have paid one million dollars not to get up. And while I know my presence wasn’t mandatory, I really like being out and about and seeing what goes on around town. So I got dressed, begrudgingly applied makeup and headed to the ARIA.

I made two quick stops – at Deuce & Gold – and then off to Haze. By the time Big Sean and his entourage arrived, it was after 1 am. I was beat. But how could I leave and miss him sing Clique? I couldn’t.

Next thing I know, it’s 2:30 am. I made two new friends (one who just moved here from NYC 2 months ago!) and headed home. Another night that I wanted to sit on my couch that turned out to be super fun. And now I’m in love with Big Sean…

me and moose 🙂

Friday at the office was rough. I wasn’t hungover, but I was DEAD. I thought I could breeze through an easy day – wrong. I had all day meetings, and by the time I left, I felt myself fading. I tried napping but after an hour of tossing and turning I got up and went to Monta Ramen, my new go-to. Seriously, best ramen I’ve had in a long time. Sorry, Ippudo.

Another night, another event – this time at The Bank. I couldn’t even manage to put on a dress and even put my hair up into a ponytail. I wasn’t at my best, that’s for sure. After a quick stop at (where else?) Lily, I got to Bank at 11:30 to wait for Big Boi to get there. I had some friends come meet but I already knew this wouldn’t be a late one. By the time he got there, I was ready to leave. After a crazy week, I just couldn’t do another night. My body was completely uninterested in alcohol and the smoke-filled room was making me physically ill. So I left and was actually home in bed by 2 am.

I slept as late as possible – 9:30 am! – and got a ton of random errands done but it’s almost time to gear up for yet another night, this time to see my friend Matt Miller aka Matisyahu perform at the Palms and then to 1 OAK for The Wanted. I’m loving my new life but I definitely need to sleep for a week…my eyes were so swollen and puffy this morning that I went to CVS and got 3 different creams to remedy the situation – Preparation H included.

But tomorrow, one of my best friends from NYC comes to visit til Thursday so sleep will have to wait. Again.
