Day 7 – Over Slept and Outlet shopping
For the past 6 days, we are so lack of a good sleep. Most of the days, we need to be up at a terribly early morning. You have to agree with me – there’s too many things to see and do but too little time in hand. Since we have no plan for today, we don’t intend to set the alarm clock and guess what? We woke up at 11:45am!!! We could’ve slept longer if not for the phone call *grrr…. Anyway, glad that phone call came cos we’ve wasted half a day in dreamland *sigh….
Hubby need to run down to the convention hall to register for his conference. Fyi, we are staying in MGM Grand. One of the most posh hotel in Las Vegas, mind you.
Ahem! The cat is out from the bag now. The conference is the one that bring us here. *ngek* Hubby will be attending conference for 5 days. I know I’ll be bored to death.
Hubby: Ah… this one my product. Help me to take picture.
Wifey: Wah, nice view too!
It is freaking cold out there. Around 15C! *brrrrr….
Fashion Outlet is about 45minutes away from MGM Grand. If you are a guest in MGM Grand, they have free shuttle there. That could save you a lot as public transport, especially taxis is not cheap in US. Especially after conversion everything seems to look expensive.
Every outlet we went to, we’ve never fail to leave empty handed. There’s always something to buy. I can’t remember what I’ve bought but found this photo in my memory card.
Pink for Princess – US$24 (RM84), Black & white for Queen – US$29.90 (RM104.65). Cheap eh? I was told the pink ones was selling at RM300 in Malaysia.
I bought a pair of Levi’s jean (baby pink) at US$16. I love the baby pink so much. Frankly telling, I go for clearance item only cos they are throwing price like mad. No point bring back expensive loots, right? I bought another 2 pairs of working slack from Guess? for less than US$16 per piece. Every outlet you go, they have different item on sale and offer different discount. Another big hit is Coach bags. I saw one which is selling at RM800 in Malaysia, in Outlets they are selling at US$98 (RM343). I know of someone who bought 10 Coach bags. *&^%$# I have to help her bring back one of the bag to avoid getting tax at the Malaysian custom *&^%$#.
What’s for dinner?
We had Mexican today. That’s steak and my type of french beans. Love it that way! I don’t understand mexican menu and ended with a steak instead 🙁 . Tasted not bad albeit a bit raw at the centre. Infact, it’s quite raw with blood oozing out. I did not finished that part. Geli-nyeeeeeeeee!
Seabass – This is supposed to be my dishhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Since hubby don’t take beef, I decided to switch with him. It’s my fault anyway. And I hate man that can’t decide what they want to eat *bluehhhhhhh*
One day, I’m going to try my hand making this…
Nacho dip made from Avocado, some herbs, pepper (cili padi), sun-dried tomatoes, lime juice, some white stuff, and I appreciate if someone could tell me is that salt or sugar? This is very healthy and delicious.
We had dinner with Hubby’s boss, kolig, business partner…. about 7 of us. Everyone had a main meal, 2 bottle of red wine, some beer, juices and 2 serving of nacho chips with the dip. Wanna guess how much this dinner cost us in MGM Grand? US$500 (RM1,750!!!) Luckly boss pay, if not die!
Tomorrow we are going to Hoover Dam. Need to wake up at 7am again!
… go back to read Day 6 where we drove from LA to LV here

the steak red like that, must have been cooked “medium” (a bit bloody) or “rare” (banyak bloody). next time ask them to make it “well done” if you don’t want it to be red in the middle. 🙂
with the guacamole, it’s probably salt. i also like it with a bit of garlic inside.. vin is a big fan of guacamole 😀
The Queen says: Itu nama manyak susah mau ingat. *chanting guacamole, guacamole, guacamole*

It is probably salt and that dish you labelled as “dunno”, that’s white onion.

hq, i think you were at the same restaurant i was when i was in LV last year!!! (i was staying at MGM Grand too – you should have gone across the hotel bridge to watch Cirque du Soleil!)
The Queen says: I read about Cirque du Soleil in your blog before and even vowed to myself die-die must go. But when I’m there and especially after spending so much on shopping, RM200 seems so much for me. So you know la, cheapskates!!!Â

Sea bass is so yummy. If you come to Texas I will make sure you eat the right Mexican food. The missus makes great guacamole too. She can show you ah.
