Country Dancing, Western Wear, Restaurants in Las Vegas this Spring, 2019

Our blog this time is about a special trip.  Check out our individual reviews of Gilley’s, Stoney’s and Saddles N Spurs.  Quite a variety and each with their own specialness.

So, on this trip we celebrated our Anniversary.  We like to go to places where there are multiple (if possible) places to dance, different foods, activities, art/floral displays.  This time, I was on the hunt for a special dessert to celebrate our anniversary.  Our usual choice is something that is chocolate in some way, Ok?  And I have a passion for cake.  We found our dessert at Bellagio’s Spago.  The dessert is called Spiked Lemon.  Wow, we chose “not chocolate”.  It is a light chiffon cake filled with citrus mousse.  It was amazing!

We also saw the Japanese themed cherry blossom spring floral display in Bellagio’s Botanical Conservatory.  It was a beautiful display of cherry blossoms, a Japanese palace, cranes, butterflies and orchids.  Bellagio has seasonal displays year around.  Great job this Spring!  Oh, and a shoutout to the Mirage for a great room and a great stay!

Then we visited our first Boot Barn Superstore in Las Vegas.  It definitely offered a variety in apparel, boots, hats etc.  There were so many choices. Beautiful patterns, colors and styles.  Jeff found a western jacket with matching pants and three shirts at Cowtown.  I found a pair of jeans with sparkly flowers on the pockets and three tops (short sleeve, long sleeve and sleeveless) at the Boot Barn Superstore (lots of name brands too). Can’t wait to wear them!  Oh, I forgot to mention our shopping spree was during the Memorial Day weekend so there were sales!  Yippee!

Breakfast: Blueberry Hill Family Restaurant – delicious pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelets, eggs, ham, sausages, bacon, hash browns and biscuits & gravy!  Just stay away from the crepes, it’s not a French place nor gourmet, it’s just a down home place that’s darn good.  Lunch/Dinner: For those of you who are Vegan or just like plant-based food every now and then, we had lunch at VegeNation.  Great food.  We had Buffalo Wings made out of cauliflower!  It’s not chicken it’s a plant so just be open to that kind of Yum!  Jeff had a quesadilla made out of white sweet potatoes and a black beans topped with chipotle ranch and guacamole.  He was “pleasantly surprised.”  I really got into it too.  I had the power protein tacos made with ground walnuts, sun dried tomatoes, and sunflower seeds, wrapped in collard green (the stuff your mama would’ve said, “sticks to your ribs!”) tortillas topped with jicama slaw and chili vinaigrette.  I know, it may sound gosh awful but it was really tasty.  Besides, just knowing it is providing good nutrition is an added plus.  There are a load more eating places in Las Vegas and we will review them each time we go back!

That’s all for now, we hope to be traveling and bloggin more soon!  See y’all for now…
