This post was sponsored by Wet’n’Wild Las Vegas as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
There are two types of people- those who arrive as the park opens & those who arrive whenever. I arrive bright & early, ready to soak up the fun & everything the park has to offer. Almost every time- no matter the distance or opening time. But things are different now that I’m a mom. & my schedule is all about Eloise. So Ryan & I were very excited & almost bewildered to have a whole day date together…just us…at Wet’n’Wild here in Las Vegas….

Romancing Him with Fajitas for a Nacho Daddy Date Night
Nothing says date night more to my man than great food. & he’s a sucker for fajitas. Actually- we both are. Big time. I’m one of those people who likes lots of options. I order lots of dips & sauces.

Eating Glegan (Gluten-Free & Vegan) at Triple George Grill
Recently Melanie Lee (of Jetsettin’ Daisy blog & @jetsettindaisy instagram) & I tried the Glegan menu over at Triple George Grill located just inside the Downtown Grand’s street corridor between Ogden and Stewart. What is Glegan? Well- it is their menu that fuses the traditional offerings of gluten-free & vegan into one health conscience selection, offers a variety of gluten-free or vegan ONLY options as well many items that provide a combination of BOTH. You know I’m a carnivore (Melanie Lee too!) but we’ve both been stepping outside our comfort zone to check out even more restaurants & cuisine.

Why Do You Like Living in Las Vegas So Much?
I’m never surprised when people ask me this question. Vegas has a reputation for being fun to visit- but who really wants to live here? I’m from California so people are always shocked I fell in love with this desert city. But I certainly have. In fact, we actually requested to come back. My parents have since moved near us. & even though the city is ever changing- we still absolutely plan to retire here. But why? WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN VEGAS? Let me break it down for you!…

Visiting Real Bodies at Bally’s Las Vegas
I just want to start off by saying this post might not be for everyone. I’m a science geek & find this kind of exhibition fascinating & informative. But I’m also fully aware this might not be for some people. That is totally okay. Real Bodies “explores life by displaying more than 20 real, perfectly preserved human bodies and more than 200 anatomical specimens” & some of them are photographed here.

The Good & the Bad Eating at Public School 702
Normally I write about excellent experiences & places in Las Vegas you absolutely need to visit. Sadly, today that isn’t the case. Public School 702 in Downtown Summerlin was one of those places we had on our list a long time. Ryan works crazy hours sometimes & my mom doesn’t get to visit as much as she use to. So when we were all three available for brunch we headed to Public School 702 after hearing some wonderful things!…
Going on an Adventure inside the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. in Las Vegas
Most people don’t realize this because I’m all about glitz & glam- but I’m a total geek. I grew up on comics, loved to read just about everything, & excelled in science. Superheroes were kind of my thing- including the Avengers! I was SO excited to meet Stan Lee recently (see my photographic proof here!) & knew I’d have to come back when it officially opened. Ryan & I recently stayed on the strip overnight & had a date so it was perfect timing!
