Last week I was in Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Market (held at Las Vegas Design Center / World Market Center Las Vegas). I was lucky enough to have a day to wander around the city before the market opened and it couldn’t have been a nicer day. Ok it could have been warmer, and in that case I would have had a long look at the pool — but instead it was chilly but the skies were blue and it felt like fall. Or winter for Vegas. Anyway, I thought I’d share some photos I took while there. Photos from the actual market to come in another post.
Since I was in Vegas solo, I filled my evenings with Cirque du Soleil. You can’t take photos during the show, but I had to get one in before it started. I saw Zarkana and O. If at all possible, go so see O. The stage itself is amazing. I could go see it again and again and watch a completely different show. The next two I want to see are Beatles Love and Zumanity. I love Cirque!
Like I said — blue sky! This is outside Caesar’s Palace.
The lighting in ALLSAINTS was sick! This dress, also sick. And on sale. And unfortunately way too short for me.
And the hooks they had in the dressing rooms were pretty much the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
I’m not exactly sure what type of shrine this was but it was cool.
The Chihuly ceiling in the lobby of The Bellagio is amazing!
The fountains at The Bellagio are even cooler in person. For real.
Also the exhibit in The Bellagio Conservatory was the 2013 Chinese New Year. Pretty amaze.
Paris. In Vegas.
I am constantly amazed by Mother Nature. I mean, look at this. Not only that, but it was taken with my iPhone, through dirty plane windows!
My take on Vegas: It would have been way more fun with friends. I was so tired after ALT that I was like a zombie every night while in Vegas. It took all my energy just to go see Cirque and get dinner somewhere each night. Then I went back to my hotel (the Aria — which was awesome) and took a long bath in the giant tub. Every. Night. So not your typical Vegas trip. It did not involve heavy drinking, gambling, staying out past 10 p.m., spa treatments and laying out by the pool. I did have fun, the market was great, just a non-typical experience. I won’t go again without friends though.

Your photos from Vegas make me feel as though I was there too! Love the airplane shot!
xx
How crazy and awesome!! I’m supposed to go to Vegas in the Spring so I’m really looking forward to it!! I love your dress!! =)
I loved Vegas. We stayed at Bellagio for my Bachelorette, and I want to go back all the time. I think I mention returning about once a week since we were there in August… I am so horrible! haha. My friends stayed at the Aria and I would love to go there too. Hmmm.
I was in Vegas for work in December and my schedule looked the same. I squeezed in the Beatles LOVE show and absolutely loved it! Definitely catch it the next time you’re in town.
I love the Aria – check out the sister property, Vdara, next time! It’s so peaceful and lovely, and the spa there is AMAZING.
TOTALLY want to see Beatles Love! Ya I loved the Aria, and the Vdara looked cool too!
I just moved from Vegas to Northern California, and these photos have me missing my former home! I had never been a Vegas person per say, but after four years there – I definitely think there is something for everyone. World-class food, luxurious accommodations, fabulous shopping, etc. I love that you were took advantage of the huge tubs – they are just begging to be used!
Yeah, Vegas is a little weird without your party people. Looks like you made the most of it, though!
My husband also went to LVMKT for work and didn’t take me! Sounds like you had a pretty relaxing trip, isn’t the Aria amazing?!
Yes, the Aria was seriously amazing. Loved it. Also, had a great experience at the Market!
Great recap Meg. I feel your pain. I was so tired from Alt and then I went to Design Camp in Atlanta then onto Mastermind in Little Rock. I have been gone 10 days in the last 15. ready for my bed. So happy to be home! I want to connect with you next week. Carve out a time we can talk…
I saw O a couple of years ago, and I agree – it’s pretty mindblowing! You just hope the floor doesn’t malfunction… I’m not a huge Vegas fan but I’d go back to see a few more Cirque shows – Beatles and Zoomanity are on my list too. And I hear you, Vegas is wayyy better with friends!
Seriously, how amaze is Las Vegas?! My sister got married at Ceasar’s Palace, and the whole trip was unbelievable. That was 4 years ago, and I’ve been dying to go back ever since. I’m glad you had such an amazing time!
xxoo, k
