Two posts in two days! Not having any assignments due for another week or so is extra sweet. Et maintenant, j'ai assez de temps to post a recount of my trip to Las Vegas (or, as I like to call it, The Vegas) for my boyfriend's 21st anniversaire. Happy birthday, Jason!
Vegas tends to earn a kind of cheesy reputation, but I actually thought some of the design details used in the hotels and stores were kind of neat; I really liked the uncommon mixture of patterns and texture and the metalwork in the newer hotels. You just have to embrace the faux-ness of the city and think of it as a Disney Land for adults. Here are some things I noticed over the weekend.
Door handles at a store (I forget which one :(( ) in Caesar's Palace

Perhaps my favorite part of the trip was the buffet at the Aria Hotel on Sunday morning. Rest assured, though, that brunch on this morning did not consist of "a little bit of the yellow stuff and some of the blue." I think I ate all of my favorite foods in one sitting: crab legs, sushi, two kinds of mac and cheese, espresso shooters, and more! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, but here is a picture from the Aria website. The light fixtures were so neat!
And here is an iPhone photo of my tiny caesar salad. I wasn't even hungry anymore, but I had to pick it out because of its cute little glass. Wasteful? Hardly. Afterall, wastefulness is the beauty of a buffet.
the other beauty is watching fat people's eyes light up....
