Travel | Savannah & Charleston

Happy Weekend! I can hardly believe it's more than half way through January. The last couple of weeks have been so much fun, and a much-needed break from medical school.

My favorite part of the holidays was probably my visit to Savannah, GA (with a little day trip to Charleston!). I had never been to the south (well, aside from Florida), and figured it was time. And oh my goodness it was BEAUTIFUL. I felt like I stepped into a Nicholas Sparks movie! The only thing was that stores tended to close early. I'm not sure if that's just the New Yorker in me though haha.

How cute are these bikes in the hotel lobby?!
We stayed at The Brice Hotel; couldn't beat the location! At the corner of Bay and Houston St, its within walking distance to nearly everything.


The Collins Quarter was definitely one of my top picks for food. It's not the traditional southern meal, but everything was delicious nonetheless. I'd never had a coffee flight before!

End Of Year Travels - Las Vegas 2012

To celebrate the end of the year (and semester), a few girlfriends and I made our way to Las Vegas! It was an amazing trip, although exhausting. We stayed at the Mirage Hotel & Casino, which is on the strip, with all the attractions within walking distance.

On our second day, we visited the Grand Canyon- read about that here.



Highlights
Surrender - Saw Steve Aoki here! The club was a bit small on the inside. There is a super nice outdoor area, but considering it was about 40 degrees outside, we didn't really enjoy that part. The DJ was great though!

Tao - Probably one of my favorite clubs/lounges I've been to. With three floors, there are several bars, nice lounge areas, and a restaurant downstairs. We throughly enjoyed DJ Hardwell and the open bar! The decor was beautiful.



Wicked Spoon (@ The Cosmopolitan) - Suchhhh a delicious buffet. There were all types of foods you can think of, from shrimp & grits to chocolate covered strawberries. It was rather expensive for a buffet, but I'd say it was worth it.

Mon Ami Gabi - A french steakhouse located in the "Paris" section of the strip.



 Hash House - Located in one of the hotels, it was one of the Best of Las Vegas restaurants, and it was. The four of us ordered two of the the sage fried chicken (pictured below) and shared. It was the most delicious lunch (and probably one of the most unhealthy). The portions are absolutely enormous, and are super wallet friendly. It was only about 10/person, and considering the amount of food, it was great.


 Cesar's Palace - This place is huge! It's a hotel and casino, and has a ton of shopping and restaurants as well. There an indoor shopping strip where the ceiling is designed to look like a blue sky. Absolutely gorgeous.


 The Venetian - Another hotel and casino, and fabulously elaborate. There's even indoor gondola rides (where the tour guide sings!), as if you were in Italy.


 Hotel Bellagio - May look familiar if you've seen Oceans 11, which was filmed here. There were gorgeous indoor gardens and extensive holiday decorations.
