Our January trip to the LAS VEGAS MARKET begins very early in the morning. It's so much easier to fly out of Burbank which is closer to home and less crazy than LAX. It always fascinates me to board the plane outdoors.
The one hour flight goes by fast and beats five hours of driving!
We arrived in time to check in to our hotel and have breakfast at our favorite French café.
One of the best breakfasts ever! It includes a house made English muffin and there's enough to share.
The views are lovely with lots of French inspired scenery and crystal chandeliers.
We had just enough time to catch the last shuttle to the famous World Market Center where some serious wholesale shopping is done. Buyers, manufacturers, and designers from all over the world meet here.
As you walk the halls you never know what you might see to entice you to enter a showroom. This one cracked me up!
What a treat when you run across a chocolate company with trays of their best sellers to sample!
Sweet Tea! So many creative refreshments along the way! It helps when you are doing hours and hours of shopping and ordering.
It's also important to get off your feet from time to time. Hint: travel light and wear comfy shoes. A scarf is also a good idea for drafty showrooms.This new plaid tunic with pockets from Revelation TOPS was perfect for the show and then out to dinner.
Outside the air is brisk. It's nice when you can cozy up by one of the fires. This day I wore our new baby thermal tie front top with a hi-low hem. So comfy and I love the color.
This is a working vacation for us and we look forward to a relaxing dinner in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed Jasmine at the Bellagio where we landed one of the best tables! Thank you Lord! We sat all the way up front in the window for a close up of the famous fountains.
Here the chopsticks are trimmed in gold, the service is impeccable, and they play classical music. My speed and such a treat.
The Bellagio is known for their elaborate displays. There was a whole room decorated in the year of the pig. This pig was gigantic, as big as a multistory building!
Just amazing! You keep looking up, up, up! The peaceful music and sounds of waterfalls all add to the experience.
Time to head back to our hotel, the Paris. I think this is one of my favorite photos...EVER. It just captures this getaway and you know how I love GRAY and the Eiffel Tower!
This was our view another evening from the patio of Mon Ami Gabi which is right on the strip. Once again we scored on the table. Imagine enjoying Steak Frites au Poivre as you watch the fountains from across the street. This is where all the Oceans movies were filmed. LOVE it!
Above us, past our heat lamps, is the Eiffel Tower. Another amazing trip. The Lord answered our prayers with good energy, great finds for Mountain Rose Gifts, and foodie fun!
