I know I haven’t updated in a while – life has been hectic and very stressful. But that’s all for another post! I decided to update but it’s going to be a little different then normal. I complied some random videos I’ve taken over the past few months as a video update. It’s under 7 minutes for those with short attention spans – including concerts to beer pong. A real life update or something interesting coming later, for now.. Enjoy!
xoxoAly!
Just finished editing an awesome shoot I did on Sunday. Wanted to share these hot girls that broke down on their way to Vegas and decided to have a few drinks until help comes. Time was a bit limited because we were depending on the sunset but it was such a fun shoot! Enjoy~
xoxo, Aly
I know it’s been a while. I have barely even been home in the past few days. Things have been crazy, I’m actually not used to being this busy unless I’m working working working. And work has been extremely limited lately… Slow season makes it difficult.
The Cosmopolitan opened on Wednesday, and it’s quickly become my favorite place on the Strip. But I was fortunate enough to be a part of the ‘dress rehearsal’ the Friday before opening. I thought about posting pictures of our room. But we (well, I was drunk) so we did a video instead! We were upgraded to a one bedroom suite, so if you can get past how obnoxious I am, you can see the fantastic room! Seriously, it’s gorgeous.
While there we got to see the whole property. It was amazing. We found ourselves enjoying a cocktail at The Chandelier Bar called Campfire Delight – chocolate and roasted marshmellows. Besides the drink this bar is absolutely stunning. Three story bar inside a chandelier. We tried our hand at blackjack and roulette and found the staff to be extremely helpful and nice. The only real disappointment of the night was Henry’s the resturant we had dinner at. It took 2 1/2 hours to bring our food, and it tasted mediocre. Do not recommend. We were also fortunate enough to party for a bit at Marquee which opens New Years. The music that night was bumpin! They were playing some great stuff (Take it off by Ke$ha to Ghosts N Stuff by Deadmau5). The club seemed a bit small, but I was drunk.. And I guess there are more rooms that were not open that night. I can’t wait to go back and see it for real. We got bottle service, the seating area was comfortable with a good view of the DJ, the light wall, and the sexy gogo dancers. And my favorite was the lemondrop cocktail the hostess made me. I had three in about 45 minutes. A little ridic, but they were just that good. Seriously, best cocktail I’ve ever had. The morning of checkout we went to the Wicked Spoon for breakfast, and the food was amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try dinner, since it was only breakfast foods. Overall it was an amazing experience. (THANKS RHEANAN!)
But better yet, let me just say the casino hasn’t even been open a week, and besides the dress rehersal, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I spent time on their propoerty. I. Love. It.
Thursday night I attended my companies Christmas Party where we had a talent show. I hooped and won second place! Not the first I wanted but the guy who beat me has amazing talent so I’m cool with it. And of course after my coworker and I got drinks at the Chandelier Bar at Cosmo, a few drinks at the Halo bar in PH (my other favorite for obvious reasons haha!), and then danced a bit at Moon at Palms.
I continued my weekend with my buddy Eric. He drove in from San Diego. We were supposed to rock a photoshoot on Friday but Vegas decided to piss on that plan, it’s been raining since. So instead we hit the Strip and drank and drank and drank and gambled and drank. And at some point went to an awful strip club. But it was a great weekend except for that whole having to work thing.
So now I’m just enjoying downtime. Never thought I’d be happy to just sit around at home. Ttyl, haha.
