Soooo last Friday around 2 PM tickets were booked for a trip to VEGAS! Our flight took off less than 24 hours later and we landed safely around lunch time. Last Labor Day we also took a trip to Vegas so we very excited at the opportunity to spend another long weekend there.

I’m going to share with you three most delicious breakfasts and the secret to doing it on the cheap.

1. Get your whole group together.
2. Everyone pull out a $20 bill.
3. Walk to the closest one zero roulette table.
4. Put all 20s on black.
5. Turn around and cross your fingers. (No peeking).
6. Check to see if you’ve won….
7. Give out high fives!!!
8. Enjoy the following:

Sunday at Hash House a Go Go.

Andy’s sage fried chicken benedict and Andy’s fried chicken with a maple reduction.

Everything is house made and delicious! The first is a masssssive plate of split buttermilk biscuits topped with griddle mashed potatoes, tender juicy freshly fried chicken, scrambled eggs, bacon, and for me, the chipotle cream sauce on the side. Worth the wait, trust me. Seriously, try their homemade strawberry preserves. It looks gross but tastes a-ma-zing.

Total bill on top of our winnings: 5 each!

Monday at Canaletto in the Venetian.

Repeat steps 1-8.

This was probably one of the most relaxing meals ever. After sleeping in super late we had our breakfast around lunch time. We ordered 3 plates to share. A cheese plate with a pear chutney to start.

Caprese salad (fabulous fresh mozzarella). Fresh bread and sesame buns with fruity olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

A thin crust pizza with smoked mozzarella, carmelized onions, roasted green peppers, sausage, and some type of ham. Out pizza was topped with tons of crushed red chilis. These bad boys packed a punch and were absolutely perfect on this pizza.

Total extra cost: $0!!!!

Tuesday at Bouchon.

Buttery croissant. THE best. If you don’t have time for a sit down breakfast stop at their bakery. It is worth it, trust me. Garlicy sauteed spinach, potatoes, scrambled eggs, toasted brioche, and fruit salad.

Ok so I’m not really trying to promote people to gamble for their breakfasts. We were extremely lucky! It was fun and we only did it twice. We paid in full for Bouchon (no time before…trust me, we ran to breakfast!).

Other great meals were had at Phil’s Italian Steak House in Treasure Island and the Buffet at the Wynn.

Thank you Vegas for another FABULOUS weekend!
