When we last spoke I had just arrived in Las Vegas and met up with my brother and his GF. We walked around a bit and then ate dinner at Cabo Wabo. The weather was perfect for sitting outside.
Chips and salsa, of course
I had a grilled chicken burrito. It was supposed to be a “healthy option”, but came with pita chips? More chips. Great.
Sadly, all the food was mediocre at best. Super bland.

Me pre-16 pounds of eyeliner…
Aaaand post-makeover…
I enjoyed a beverage or two while getting ready…
We did some pre-gaming and then hit up XS in Wynn
The night involved Adios Mfkers and dancing. The pictures speak for themselves.
Overall the club was okay. I wasn’t a fan of the all techno music :/
This morning I woke up around 8:30a and knew I wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. So, I got up to see how my body felt did some online gambling as we were in Vegas, after this, I dressed to run but knew I would probably just walk. If you need a game development company, contact India Lotto. They provide an engaging platform that will help you enhance your strategy.
My elevator companion commended me on going running so I knew I should run a bit.
I ran down to MGM, walked to Luxor and got an iced coffee (it was probably 2 miles at most). I don’t know if it was my hangover parched throat or what but this was the most delicious iced coffee! 
Sights from the strip…
Okay, we’re headed off to brunch! See ya later 
Question: Thoughts on brunch?
Normally I don’t like it because it means I had to wait until late for breakfast…
Hi Monica!
I have been a reader for almost 6 months now but never really find the time to comment. I just wanted to let you know I think you look soooo pretty in that red dress! I agreed with the reader above that you should do an “Ask a Monican” on the eyeliner! Love it and love the blog!
U look awesome in that red dress!
I LOVE brunch!!! Especially champagne brunch. It’s perfect after a night out. You get to sleep in, and still get breakfast food!
I agree with Karen!!!! Your eye makeup is amazing!!!! I would love to hear how you do it, and what brands you like!!!!! You looked great in that dress!!!!:-)
Brunch is the best! I usually get to sleep in a bit later than usual on Sundays, so it means brunch is the meal option for me. this usually results in an early Sunday dinner, too. And then a lazy evening of getting ready for the work week.
Brunch is awesome. I went to The Cracked Egg in Vegas (technically Hermiston I think? or some city…) for brunch two days in a row it was so good. I ate breakfast at the hotel, then we’d get ready for the day before heading out for brunch! Yum!
Love that little red dress! I love brunch but I usually eat breakfast, do a long run, then eat brunch!!! No replacements for breakfast ever!!
Now I’ve got Vegas Fever! I wanna go! And I love brunch. But I have to have something in stomach so usually eat before then. PS. Love your dress!
girl you look FAB! totes have a girl crush on you!
I hate waiting for brunch but once it gets there it is soooo good!!
Brunch are for weekends and hols! Love them!
love your makeup & sexy red dress chica!! I bet Ben was drooling all night! 🙂 happy you’re having a great time!!
I looove brunch. I think the best brunch in Vegas is off the strip at Green Valley Ranch Casino in Henderson. They even have menudo!! sooo delicioso!! 🙂 safe travels home! xo
Dannnnng woman! You look awesome in that red dress!!
Brunch is only okay on days you sleep late, past breakfast.
Cabo Wabo always seems great… until you start eating and drinking. The food is mediocre and the tequila just isn’t great.
Ditto. I try to make it a second breakfast. Usually that ends up happening anyways cuz I get up so darn early. If I work out, I’m always ready for a big meal anyways. Alternatively, I take it as a rare opportunity to sleep wayyyyyy in and eat as regular breakfast! 🙂
Love the red dress, b t w! Perfect for vegas, I’d think!
your confidience make me feel strong
Love Vegas!! I’m so impressed that you got up at 8am to run! 🙂
Overnight trips to Vegas are a must! I went last year for a week but if I lived closer, I would totally see doing a one-nighter. We live near AC and often go there for a weekend when we just want to get away and have a little fun.
You look so foxy in that dress! It’s very Jessica Rabbit with the red hair and all. Love it!
You should do a video tutorial on eye makeup. Yours always looks so pretty. I know how to do my own but maybe I’m doing something wrong because my eyes don’t “pop” like yours. Have fun in sin city!
Looks like so much fun!
I say eat breakfast and then brunch too 🙂
I love your dress!! Sexy! 🙂
I love brunch because I like getting some liquor with my eggs.
Love your dress, you are such a doll. I love running on the strip too.
Love Vegas! And love brunching! It’s probably one of my favorite hobbies — right up there with running. So naturally, my favorite brunches are those after races & long runs, so I can justify eating & everything my heart desires!
I’m so jealous of your trip! Looks like you are having a blast. I went to Vegas a long time ago (when I was like, 13) so needless to say I didn’t get the adult version of the Veg. So I’m ready to go again and get down with my bad self! P.S. You do such a great job of dressing up! I love seeing Monica sexified 🙂
I love brunch! For me, it means a) I can have cocktails with my breakfast, and b) I can sleep in.
I have never been to Vegas, but you make it look classy =)
I only do brunch when I get up late. I cannot wait for very long after I get up to eat.
And Vegas is fun stuff. The only time I’ve been up at 8 in Vegas is when I’m still up, heh. Love the red dress and the fun birthday dancy pics!
My thoughts on brunch are that I LOVE IT! You can eat breakfast food and lunch food and have an alcoholic bevvy while the sun is still shining. I want to go eat brunch right now!!
I just love Vegas!!! Lived vicariously through you on this post!!
Just think, soon you be able to imbibe in DD iced coffee! I like to have protein first thing in the morning, THEN head to brunch. Enjoy your stay! I’ve never been to Vegas *yet*.
Wow so pretty! I hate brunch – you gotta wait longer for breakfast, then what’s your snack supossed to be before dinner? Oh screw the snack I’ll be found with dinner at 3:30pm if you take me to brunch! Throws off my whole game!
Yes, yes and yes! Throws off my whole day.
You looked quite the vixen last night rocking that red dress! Don’t stop, get it, get it!
I am obsessed with brunch. Legit.
Also, kudos for getting up at 830 in Vegas. It’s just not possible for me.
Love your blog! I am totally a brunch person just because it is totally acceptable to eat eggs and drink Bloody Mary’s in the same meal. Have fun!
i LOVE brunch..or breakfast..basically just breakfast. vegas hotels actually have the BEST brunch buffets. it sounds kinda gross but they’re awesome! a lot of them have bottomless champagne too 🙂
If I’m planning on going to a brunch I ALWAYS eat something before, even if it’s just 1/2 a banana with peanut butter. My body needs food early on. Sorry ’bout it. 😉
Seriously up at 8 and out for a run after a night in Vegas? You are beyond hard core! Brunch? YES PLEASE! Love it. Great now I am going to obsess about going out to brunch….
