Serendipity III...and other Vegas adventures

2/4/2011

Went to vegas for the weekend with Aunty Bet and Uncle Mike. We also met up with all the baseball boys who go every year for the superbowl so it was a fun weekend. Here are our food escapades in Vegas... first stop was Serendipity, which I have been dying to go to my last few trips to Vegas but never got to. The last time I had been was in New York over 6 years ago!!!
It did not disappoint! We had a coupon from Planet Hollywood- buy an entree and receive a free frozen hot chocolate. It's the dessert they are famous for (serrendipity movie) and it's $10 so getting an entree was a no brainer. Sean and I split a BBQ chicken pizza and it was super duper good! I was impressed. I think with a little less cheese (cuz i'm not a huge tons of cheese person on pizza) it would have been one of the best pizza's I've ever had). And of course, the dessert was delicious!

We had just gone to koi for the very first time in LA, but when we checked in to Planet Hollywood and it was at our hotel in Vegas, we thought, it was good...why not?! Especially since Aunty Bet said she gets comped anything within the hotel, and asked where we'd like to eat for my birthday, we knew this had to be it! We ordered our usual, but since there were 2 more of us, we were able to try 2 other rolls as well. Aunty Bet and I also shared some hot tea and it was really good! The food is about the same as the Koi in LA but the ambiance was definitely more clubby, with a vegas touch to it. Our view was also pretty amazing-- I loved sitting with the glass viewing outside to the strip!

We also had breakfast at the cafe in the Planet Hollywood... hoooley moley I swear the menu was like 20 pages long. Everything you could imagine was on there- from your traditional eggs, pancakes type breakfast, to mexican cuisine, chinese cuisine, japanese cuisine... whatever your heart desired pretty much!

I was debating between the loco moco and the corned beef hash...since sean got the latter, I opted for the loco moco. It was OK, the hamburger patty was really thick and not my favorite, but overall not bad!

Also made a trip downtown to gamble and had to stop by Lappert's for some ice cream in the Califonia hotel. I had the Kona coffee and it totally hit the spot!

Planet Hollywood Superbowl Party!

Well, I'm not an avid football fan, in fact, I kinda resent football. It's my least favorite sport by far...and I know that probably angers a lot of peeps, but sorry, it's the truth!

The plan was supposed to be like a few years ago, Sean and Uncle Mikey would go to the superbowl party and Aunty Bet and I would go to the spa! However, when they said they were able to get us 4 tickets to the party, we figured we should probably go. I actually paid attention the whole time and it wasn't so bad :-/ there was a lot of food and drinks to keep me occupied otherwise. All you can eat and drink for free! Too bad it was a Sunday!
