I love you, I hate you

I am not a fan of Las Vegas. I am seriously counting the months until we move away (approximately 11...hopefully). While most people would argue that it's a fabulous vacation spot, they wouldn't want to LIVE here, trust me. I hate being a Debbie Downer and complaining about it, so really when people ask how I like it here I say "it's ok...." which leads me to this;

What I LOVE about Vegas:

*Lake Mead - I am fortunate to be just a 15 minute drive from this hidden gem. It's too hot now, but in the fall I lovvvve running up there.




*Hoover Dam - literally next to Lake Mead and sooo worth a visit (it's free!)


*Fancy/Snobby/Expensive restaurants - our favorite being Terzetto at M Resort. Delmonico (Emril Lagasse's Vegas steakhouse at the Venetian) is really good too
*Casino pools

(Bellagio - LOVELY, but only open to hotel guests)

(M Resort - less touristy and locals can pay $25 for the day which grants access to both the spa facailities and the pool. My very favorite way to pamper myself :)
*Free parking. Everywhere. This is a luxury after living in center city Philly and paying for parking by the effing HALF HOUR. Needless to say I got numerous parking tickets while living there...
*My fabulous snobby gym
*Our wonderful church (where we will be married In January!)
*Holiday decorations at the Venetian/Palazzo
