The boyfriend and I stayed in City Center while in Vegas. In my opinion, it is THE place to stay. The Aria, Cosmopolitan, and our hotel, Vdara are impeccably decorated with a strong lean towards modern. I loved walking around and taking it all in. I've never been able to afford such nice amenities, but my boyfriend surprised me and went all out!
City Center
View from our room
This was taken looking straight up from the pool. It makes you dizzy!
Our hotel was actually more of a residential area. A lot of people live there. There was no casino and no smoking - two perks for vegas I suppose.
Our room/condo/hunny can we live here?
It was nice having our own kitchen.
Now for some random shots!
making, er, laying out by the pool.
Sparkly flats are good for dancing your booty off all night! Which, we did!
On top of Vegas @ Ghostbar.
The view was surreal. It was actually thundering and there was some rain and lightening too so the staff eventually scooted us all in to the inside of the bar where it was deemed safe. Once it stopped storming, we went back out :)
Cosmopolitan giant shoe statue!
I mean...
Aria buffet, BEST creme brulee!
We rubbed his belly for good luck
Little story to conclude this post:
We went to Stack (beautiful atmosphere) at the Mirage right after these pictures were taken and I was feeling really anxious and nervous. My heart was racing and I felt like I was going to faint. I could barely even eat my food. So my boyfriend took me over to the Waterfall just outside the restaurant because the sound and feeling of water just calms my nerves. He was rubbing my back and telling me everything was okay and that he loved me.
And then...
He pulled out a ring from his pocket and got down on one knee and proposed to me :)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
There was a crowd that oohed and ahhed and clapped. I was so stunned! I had no idea he was going to do that! He thought maybe I had an idea but I genuinely didn't, I just have anxiety. Of course I said yes.
I will never forget that my long time love and now fiance asked me to marry him while I was wearing that red rose H&M dress with my beautiful Chanel bag. I know that sounds silly, but those little things do mean a lot.
Pretty eventful birthday vacation, huh?
