My Quarter Century Birthday Party... #5 on my Bucket List

#5  on my Bucket List is "Have a Birthday Party in Vegas", and it is the first item on the Bucket List agenda to be fulfilled. I celebrated my 25th birthday in Vegas in August of 2011, and it was probably the best birthday of my life. 

 Our first night in Vegas

On my birthday...

First we ate lunch at the Bellagio Buffet and then I photographed the Bellagio Conservatory.

(Please excuse the picture quality... these are not my original images)

Our romantic gondola ride at The Venetian...

 A birthday kiss, going under the bridges...

  

Madam Tussaud's, Las Vegas

Here you can see some of our fun at Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum. Read My 3 Legitimate Fears, #3 to hear about how this fun experience turned into the fright of my life.
Below, I answer the phones in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama, confront Jerry Springer about his vile show, and Oscar poses for a photo with Michael Jordan...

 

For dinner, we went to "The Wicked Spoon" in the Cosmopolitan. I highly recommend this buffet restaurant, the food was amazing!

As you can see, this is normal buffet where you might scoop something on your plate. At "The Wicked Spoon" everything is individually plated on small plates, little pots and saucepans, etc. You simply take the dish back to your table and eat!

In the forefront you will see my CUSTOM MAC N CHEESE... yes, you read that clearly... CUSTOM.

You get to pick your pasta shape, your cheese, and your toppings... caramelized onions, mushrooms, BACON, and more!! The server works at the MAC N CHEESE BAR and you just tell him what you want in your mac n cheese, he puts it all in the pot and then heats it at the mac n cheese bar heating station... then you take your custom mac n cheese and enjoy!! It was sooooo good!!

That night, we went out to a club (can't remember which one, or even what hotel because I have obviously just had too much fun with the whole Vegas nightlife) and I will share my smokin hot dress and perfectly matched shoes (so proud of myself! ha)...
