I can't believe you had 6 cases!
A long drive but sounds like an interesting stop. Your hotel looks great. |

Calico looks interesting - there really are some amazing places to visit.
The view from your hotel room is stunning. We're going to Vegas next year and I'd not considered Vdara but it's going on my list. We stayed at Elara last year and the Panda Express on your photo was our late night snack destination! So much nicer than a dirty kebab Edited at 09:57 AM. |

Sounds like a long drive but spending time in Calico looked to be a great way to break the journey up.
Your hotel in Vegas looks and sounds amazing!

A really good travel day. I am another who says goodbye to accommodation! Your stop off in Calico was very intriguing indeed. Your hotel suite looks amazing and your bubba grumps food looks delicious. Looking forward to more.

Calico was so up your street... they do ghost tours there at night, I can totally see you being up for that (I on the other hand can't think of anything more terrifying! )
Totally living the dream in that suite, felt far too fancy for lil ol' me! Ah thanks for the compliment, a tactical black dress there! Thank you so much for sticking with me and for the lovely comments as always! xxx Eeeeek you are going to have the most amazing time in Vegas! So much to see and do! Haha I promise there is some chill time coming up soon, all this go go go starts to catch up on me very soon! Haha in our defence the cases weren't all full at this point... we were allowing room for all the shopping! (but yes still totally excessive!) Paul was happy to get involved in the #usanumberone fun, especially when it involves a hat... that boy loves a hat! Haha another Shrimpers Heaven fan... no joke, every time we go Paul always has it! It's a Bubba Gump tradition now! So glad you enjoyed, who knew you could have so much fun on holiday away from Disney! Ooo the Dibb, wine and pic 'n' mix... that's my kind of Friday night! It was a great day of food, oh I'm totally craving some IHOP French toast right now! I had all the heart eyes walking into that hotel room... there will be goodbyes and huge thank yous when we leave this one! |

Can I justify the cases by telling you that two were little carry-on ones? And they weren't all full at this point? Haha, nope it's still ridiculously excessive!
Oh I can definitely recommend the Vdara! Being a non-gaming hotel it has such a chilled-out vibe! The pool area was amazing too and so relaxed... quite the opposite from what we find later in the trip when we stay at Treasure Island! What is great is that you can experience all the buzz and excitement of the casinos in the other hotels on the strip but then return to the lovely tranquil environment of your hotel at the end of the day... perfect balance! Oh I love Panda Express, perfect late night snack! It's just the most amazing hotel isn't it? I would totally stay there again in future visits... hands down the nicest hotel I have ever been in! Stopping at Calico was a great way to break up the long journey, and such a great place to experience too! So glad we added it into the plans! It seems saying goodbye to holiday accommodation is completely normal... phew! Haha loving the tip of Bubba 'Grumps' I can promise you I was far from grumpy eating all the delicious food! Even when spending hours and hours in the car we still manage to keep the day super busy... only us! |

Great day! Hotel looks lovely, I'm so excited for Vegas, not been for 4 years! I'm not surprised you were shattered, that's a hell of a long day. And we say goodbye to hotel rooms too!

You girls crack me up
Ooo not long for you to wait now! I loved that even though I hadn't been for nearly 7 years it still felt so familiar but with new things to make it new and exciting at the same time! |
