A (Very Brief) Snapshot of Vegas

September 12th, 2013 by Karen 12 Comments












A view of the lovely Aria Hotel in Las Vegas from a glass catwalk (seriously, a catwalk connects the hotel to street level)

Tabs has been keeping me busy since I got home from Vegas last Friday, so only just now got around to looking through my pictures from the trip.

I didn’t really spend a lot of time on the town. I mostly stayed at Mandalay Bay, where the conference was held, but I did explore the Vegas strip one night for a couple hours…to get some bottled water from a CVS and go to Pinkberry (of course).

Here are just some random pics from the trip…

Another view of the gorgeous Aria Hotel. I just love the colorful lights that run up the sides of the building.

View of the strip from inside the Pinkberry…

Good to the last drop! I ordered my usual — an Original with strawberries and blueberries


We had dinner at the Hubert Keller’s Burger Bar restaurant inside the Mandalay Bay hotel on the first night…

El Hub’s meaty burger. For the record, the sauce it came with was off the hook! I was tempted to order a side of just the sauce in a to-go cup, LOL!

And I had the veggie burger and fries…

For second desert (after the Pinkberry), some candy lipsticks from a random candy store…

OMG! Who’s that girl on the red carpet!?

Looking a little starstruck at Photoshop World after meeting Joe McNally, one of my photography heroes!

    Did you get a chance to eat at Red Square? We ventured down to Mandalay Bay just to check it out. It was DELISH!

    It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Vegas but it really is food paradise. 🙂 Of course, El Hub and I would always be ordering the same meal. HAHA! Obligatory stops for me are the Forum Shops (I love the ceiling) and the Bellagio. I think I’ll have to go back soon!

    Oooh you lucky duck, Karen! I love Vegas! I have been there once, but I was only 18 then so I didn’t really get to enjoy it to the fullest. I definitely want to go back some day.

    I love Vegas! Karen, you captured some beautiful pictures. My hubby surprised me for our 1 year anniversary and we flew there. We definitely checked out some of the burger joints like you and our favorite was Burgr by Gordon Ramsey. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us 🙂

    Ooo Vegas is so fun! And it looks like you had a great time. FYI It feels like 6 degrees of separation. DH does photography (I on the other hand know nothing about “The Photography”) and has a pic with Joe McNally too!

    Lovely photos and thanks for sharing. I miss Vegas and all it’s gorgeous sights. I was vacationing there last year around this time.

        I stayed at The Orleans. It’s a bit far away from everything but they did have a shuttle over to the Strip and they had a pretty good choice of restaurants in there.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
