I went to Vegas! this weekend -- as part of a merry band of four girls, three of us friends since 14 or 15, from sophomore year of high school.
It was the kind of Saturday night that unites friends through only the most hilarious and interesting circumstances. Where inside jokes are on instant replay and dancing until 4 AM is no biggie.
We stayed at Aria, a sleek, modern hotel that opened a few years ago as part of the CityCenter development, and laughed and danced at the new Cosmopolitan hotel that's next door. The Chandelier bar, it was stunning. The secret cocktail on Level Two has an edible flower that numbs your mouth and then makes the gross drink actually taste good. It was like magic. Thumbs up.
The hotel's nightclub, Marquee, considered the best in Vegas right now, was fun, but I also had moments where I caught myself thinking, "Am I too old for dancing at 4 AM?"
On second thought? Absolutely not!
