We Uber’d with excitement to Caesars Palace. I never realized how far it was down the strip. I swear this hotel is its own world. There is so much activity, the Absinthe show and Def Leopard concert was going on and the crowd was massive. Not gonna lie, my anxiety was on level high with the severity amount of people there. Plus, it had been YEARS since we had visited this hotel, and this was like 20 years ago so makes sense why we had a difficult time navigating our way around. So much had changed. Plus I’m so short and with the crowds I am below everyone’s armpit UGHHH 😑The life of a shorty is a rough one. Check on your shorty loved ones lol!
We had just finished watching, Absinthe Show at Spiegeltent located at the Roman Plaza in front of Caesars Palace. The show was worth going. Every seat had a great viewing. The seats we bought, were what was left. It was a sold out show plus it was Valentine's Day. So, we got lucky getting tickets. Either way, the talent there was phenomenal. As I watched the perfect bodied performers, it quickly reminded me I really do need to hit the gym 😭😂😬
If you plan on attending the show and you’re not staying at Caesars Palace give yourself PLENTY of time to get there. We went on a Saturday night and the traffic was congested. Plus, the foot traffic at the hotel was overwhelming. We gave ourselves an hour to get there and we got there in the nick of time. The tent was already packed and the show started right after we took our seats.
We make our way and come across the Caesars Palace Celebrity Food Hall. The food hall is next to the elevators by the parking. There are five different eateries inside. You'll find Bobby's burgers by Bobby Flay, Mok Bar (a Korean Grub), Tortazzo by Chef Rick, Chicken Guy from Guy Vieti, and Buddy V's Pizzeria by Buddy Valstro. Daniel and I went straight for the pizza mainly because that's we were in the mood for. Unfortunately, a few bites in and I was disappointed. The piaaz was warmed up for us but it was cold whe we sat to eat. I didn't finish it but Daniel did. I drank water but he opted for root beer and at least there were free refills. We sat to recharge for a bit, the seating was pretty comfortable. Daniel was still hungry and I was getting hungry and since I didn't eat most of my pizza slice, I was in the mood for a burger. We picked one up at Bobby's burger and wow it tasted very fresh like they just made it. I regret getting the pizza.
We made our way to the first machine. Mo’ Mummy caught my eye. I had seen this machine over and over again so thought I’d give it a try. I made a HUGE mistake! I was so fixated on just hitting the buttons and watching the pretty colors that after I put in my money and after I played a few spins is when I realized it was not penny slots. I lost my way lol and didn’t play conservatively. I added $20 and started pushing buttons all nilly willy. I had no clue what I was doing. I hit the $1 thinking it was $.01. Daniel points it out. Daniel is telling me each spin is $7.50 and it’s like I’m not hearing him. Before I knew it I was up $68. I really had no idea what I was looking for as I played the game. By the last spin, I am already adding another $20. I realize how expensive the spins are I want to try anothr game. Daniel says to play that money out and I burn through that. I immediately don't want to continue. My face holding my empty coin purse is just sad. I really prefer my low budget bets. Watch the video to see how I lost my way.
