After catching a 7am flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, I immediately went to work at The JCK Jewelery Show.  I was hired by The U.S. Watch Council to host their VIP Area.  What did this mean for me?  Lots of down time to read “Celebutanes”, “Boundaries” and tons of magazines.  I also managed to schedule lunch with my Las Vegas girlfriends also working the show and was introduced to the work of Miami columnist Dave Barry by a watch client.  His work is fun, easy-to-read, and witty!

Saturday night was the official opening of The Palms Place.   I attended a private reception at the Rojo Lounge,  then headed upstairs for the main event.  The view is amazing, and the scene is very Las Vegas; white cabanas draped in sheer fabrics, a glistening pool, and several bars decorated the rooftop. The restaurant is done by famed chef Kerry Simon, and took 7.2 million to put together. Like Cinderella, had to turn in early. =)

Sunday was another great day of work, then off to FIX at the Bellagio for mini lobster tacos and a spring salad. The best thing on the menu by far is the homemade donuts drizzled in chocolate and caramel sauce.  To be ultra-decadent, aslo order a scoop of the coconut ice cream. =)  FIX is the ultimate people watching and desert-dining experience!  After a quick drink and visit at the new SIN Lounge at The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, my group headed off to Forty Deuce at The Mandalay Bay. Unfortunately, the dancers weren’t performing till 3:30am, and that was way past my bedtime!

Another exciting weekend…till next time!
