Las Vegas Food & Fun Diary – Part 3 🏨🍴

Thanks to my Marriott Platinum status, I had late checkout — so after a morning gym session, I headed to Bardot Brasserie in Aria for French brunch. I wanted to try their Wellington steak, but at $189, I quickly changed my mind 😅. Checked into the newly rebranded W Las Vegas before 1 PM — didn’t ask for an upgrade, but still got a nice room on the 33rd floor with a decent view. Spent the afternoon exploring hotels at the south end of the Strip: Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, New York-New York. This area felt quieter and more budget-friendly — less crowded, with a more casual vibe. Dinner was at Jaleo by José Andrés in The Cosmopolitan — a Spanish tapas spot. It’s on the pricier side, especially the paella (~$80), where the shrimp wasn’t super fresh, but the flavors were still enjoyable. Ended the night with a stroll through Paris Las Vegas before heading back to the hotel. Another day of exploring, eating, and taking in the Vegas energy — from high-end dining to laid-back sights! 🥘🗼✨ #LasVegasDiary #WLasVegas #Jaleo #ParisLasVegas #TravelVibes 🎲🌟
