Updates and why I've been MIA

Well hello again internet, sorry I've been MIA. I just have a lot going on in my life, so I'm sorry but you will have to put up with a bit of a sporadic posting schedule for the next couple of months.

I have already written a short post on my main blog but in case you don't follow that one, I just wanted to let you guys know as well.

I am moving to Vancouver soon and have been busy trying to figure out school and job situations.

When I say soon, I mean like in a month and a half. So, I do have time but I am also kind of doing this cross-country move by myself and well, I just don't quite know how I'm going to do it just yet but I'll figure it out eventually.

That being said, you have now been updated on what's going on in my life. Now, I'm sure you are also wondering where the rest of my Vegas series is coming but it will come shortly. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I really want to get that out of the way before I start my next travelling/moving series. Honestly, I am procrastinating watching the videos to edit them and include them in my blog posts. There aren't many but... did I mention I drank at every meal in Vegas? (I swear I'm not an alcoholic.)

Also, since I am in the process of getting prepared for my move, I have noticed some products I have used up that I might review. So, there might be more posts coming on this blog however it might be very far and few in between and I hope you all understand.

I am planning on making a lot of changes in my life when I move because well, I can. One of the main goals will be to blog more regularly and other goals include being healthier and more organized and less of a procrastinator (I don't know if I will ever stop being a procrastinator but I can try right?)

Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well and be on the look out for some posts coming from me in a bit.

Review of Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas


This was the first restaurant we tried while in Vegas and I have to admit, we made a really good choice.

We stumbled upon this restaurant randomly while looking for the CSI: The Experience Exhibit (see my review here).

I don’t quite remember why we picked it, maybe it was the way the restaurant was set up or maybe it was the name or maybe it was because it was packed. Honestly, I don’t remember why we picked it, but I am sure happy that we did.

The food was amazing except for the fries, which were a bit salty, at first we thought we . The most memorable of which were the spiced almonds in my friends’ salad that just packed so much punch.


Did I mention my friend got the creme brulee? and OMG, look at it's deliciousness!


Do I recommend this restaurant?

Yes! We went for lunch but would love to check out the dinner menu some time. And trust me when I say this, my friend and I are still drooling every time we think about the restaurant.

Review of CSI: The Experience Exhibit in Las Vegas


One of the things I really wanted to do while I was in Vegas besides partying was this. I know this is super geeky but I have watched the show since it started and when I saw that there was a CSI exhibit, I just had to go. Luckily for me, my friend was on board with this.

Here is a picture of me being geeky, taken by my friend.

The exhibit was definitely not meant for adults like my friend and I, who get a bit impatient.  The exhibit is recommended for kids ages 12 and up but I think it is mostly for kids around the age of 12.  It reminded me of school science trips to Science World or the Aquarium. You know the ones where teachers give you a sheet or package that you have to fill out while you are there. It’s fun as a child but as an adult, it’s a bit boring.

This is something families can do together and for kids to learn a little bit of forensic science in a fun way.

One major thing I didn’t like about the exhibit was that they didn’t give you your CSI Diploma there. Instead if you wanted one, you put in your name and e-mail address and they e-mailed you the diploma. I felt that if I wanted one, I should have been able to get one printed free of charge. What’s the point of going through the whole exhibit with nothing to show for it?

Do I recommend going to the exhibit?
I recommend it for families or kids around the age of 12.

How much is it?
According to the website, the exhibit is $28 plus service charges, most places say approximately $30. When you get to Vegas, you will be able to get some $5 off coupons in the coupon books that people hand out on the strip. When we went there, there was a girl handing them out right by the ticket booth for the exhibit. Also, you could get the tickets from tix4tonight as well but still not as cheap as I had gotten them for (see the tip below).

Tip: I did get my ticket for less because I had been checking out the Groupon deals in Vegas before my trip and got my ticket for $15.
