I woke up feeling hung over wicked tired from staying up all night drinking.But, decided to check out the hotel’s gym because I am a compulsive eater exerciser.
Unfortunately, I still felt like crap and just walked about 20 minutes and did some light weights.
When I got back I thought a small snack would help settle my stomach. Nope. Long story less long, I ended up barfing. Luckily, you only get to see the food before I eat it.
I laid down for a bit, but it was getting late and Ben needed food. So, we headed to…
We ended up at an Irish Pub in Mandalay Bay.
It’s right next door to the Guinness store
The place was very empty for the lunch hour…
Of course Ben had to have a Guinness. We chatted about my trip to Ireland and how tragic it is that I don’t like beer and opted to skip “Mother’s Milk” when I was there. So sad.
I was tragically nauseous and just wanted bread. So, the waiter brought us some Irish Soda Bread (to be nice/for free because it’s not officially on the menu). This helped settle my stomach so I could order “real food”.
I have been craving fish and chips and figured some greasy pub food would help my hangover. It’s hard to tell without reference, but this fish was massive! I’m pretty sure it was Shamu’s cousin.
Ben shared this with me. His burger didn’t come with fries and I tried to pawn off as many as I could on him. I have to thank my sickness because it really helped me be an intuitive eater for this meal. Got what I wanted, stopped when I was full.
After lunch we walked around a few of the casinos that were around. I was in search of a lip gloss since I lost mine last night.
No luck on the gloss, but if you need socks – come to the sock store!
I think the weather is perfect today. PERFECT.
This gelato place caught my eye in the Aria, but resisted.
But, Ben couldn’t.
He ordered the Imperial…
Ben kept trying to offer me some, but I was trying hard to resist. Finally I reminded him I gave up sweets for Lent. He said Lent doesn’t exist in Vegas (along with various other moral values. True, very true.
I did get the best iced coffee though!
Las Vegas is so visually stimulating with all the lights and statues and drunk people falling over.
Gotta get ready for dinner See ya later

I turn 21 this summer and I really want to make a trip to Vegas. Looks like you’re having fun.
Lisa says
Did you guys stay at The Luxor? That gym looks like the Luxor Gym (I worked out there one time). 🙂 Looks like some good eating!

I LOVE Guinness! And I get trouble for ordering it all the time…not very feminine I guess. But Guinness + Irish Soda bread sounds like an ideal lunch, feeling sick or not!
PS Easter is so soon…get those sweets ready!
Jenna...lifeinjenneral says
Wow, that’s awesome that you attempted the gym! Pretty sure I’ve never seen the inside of one in Vegas (probably a lot of things you shouldn’t see the inside of in Vegas…)
Glad you’re feeling better! Super jealous!
runeatrepeat says
Thanks Jenna 🙂
Amber K says
Wow, I don’t know if I’d have the strength to turn down such awesome desserts in Vegas! But way to go fulfilling Ecclesiastes 5:4-6. 🙂
natalie (the sweets life) says
ha we went to Ireland the summer after we got married and I skipped out on Guinness too! Just not a beer fan, oops. Still fun to be there 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I want to chat about this Ireland trip – I went with my ex and it was my fave place in Europe (that I’ve been to so far).
fdnj says
Thanks, it’s usefully
Pam says
I hate you felt bad! Hope you were still able to fully enjoy that AWESOME looking fish and chips. Wow, I want that.
And I think Ben’s right. Vegas doesn’t observe Lent.
Holly says
That looks like so much gelato! I’d be in heaven haha
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
I love Mandalay. That’s where I got married.
I love greasy food on a “hungover” stomach but my husband cannot handle it. The grease and the alcoholy feeling makes him throw up. He actually has to eat healthy, which is funny mostly because he doesn’t want to.
runeatrepeat says
Ahhh! So cool you got married there 🙂 Belated Congrats!!!
Elizabeth@The Sweet Life says
Feeling sick is the worst! But looks like you’re having a fabulous time!
Salah@myhealthiestlifestyle says
I’m glad you are starting to feel better!!! Looks like a great time!!
Lauren says
I was in that Pub before!! I remember them having a really good Cider Beer and I don’t usually like beer.
runeatrepeat says
I totally don’t like beer either, but have enjoyed a good cider in the past. Good to know.
katie says
I love Ben’s theory, lent doesn’t exist in Vegas, he is a genius! lol!
Oh girl, I feel your pain, hangovers are the WORST! I do not drink a lot because of that reason, I just dont like feeling like poo!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
You are stronger than me- that dessert would have been in my belly in three seconds flat. Have a good time!
Melissa @ TryingToHeal says
just like they say, what happens in vegas stays in vegas…
sooo….what chocolate dessert?!??!?!
runeatrepeat says
I like the way you think 🙂
Ida says
love the ‘no lent in vegas’ comment!
Mama Pea says
I have never been so happy that I gave up alcohol for Lent until I read this post. I’m not sure I’ll start again after Easter after imagining how you felt 2/3rds of the day. I hope you feel better 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I wish I would have given up alcohol instead…
Nat says
Barfing is not fun but at least you started to feel better not too long after. That dessert on the other hand looks so good. I don’t think I could have resisted.
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Hahaha! Lent doesn’t exist in Vegas = So true.
Jamie says
LOL I thought that was hilarious too!
Lauren @ Hungry Dancer says
The dreaded Vegas hangover!!! Sorry you were sick, but that fish and chips looks amazing!! Have a great time tonight!!
Traci says
This post made me happy. Not because you are feeling not so hot, but because I love beer, pubs, and mousse. Thanks for sharing.
