If you’ve been following along for awhile, you know I’m not a big vegas fan. If you’re new here… #sorrynotsorry… I don’t love Vegas.

I was heading out with a friend to go celebrate another friend’s work promotion. Compromises were made. I don’t like gambling, they don’t like rooftop pools. We all sucked it up!

To my ABSOLUTELY SURPRISE it was the box office opening weekend for the Barbie movie. I just so happened to wear a neon pink bathing suit and cute hat to the rooftop pool party.

Rooftop pool parties in Vegas in July: best worst idea ever. It was 112 degrees. You couldn’t touch the ground, or lean against the side, or touch the railing, or set your plastic cup on the ground! hah The cell phone heat warning almost immediately went on and the water was boiling. We were literally like lobsters in the pot!

BUT, slushy drinks, sunscreen, big hat and sunglasses, golf on TV. I was happy as a …. lobster!

I spent a few hours in the casino too. Played blackjack and only left $50 poorer than I started. I’ll take that as a win!

The only real downfall of the trip [other than that ‘dry’ heat] was the airport delays. I’m a big American Airlines fan, but I was delayed 3 hours getting there and 24 hours getting home. All I can say is THANK GOD for lounge access. I get mine through my Chase Sapphire Card (yes, if you sign up we BOTH get bonus points!) As you’ll see in the photos below, I spent about 12 hours drinking mimosas and eating food and another 6 sitting on the chaise lounge playing on my phone. Absolute life saver!

At any rate, Vegas, it’s been real. See you in two years, and not a day sooner! haha
