The Fireworks Were Meh, But BSB Was EPIC π€β¨
We came to Vegas mainly for the famous NYE fireworks πβ¦ but honestly, they were just okay β didnβt even get a good photo π·β. HOWEVER β the last-minute Backstreet Boys tickets we scored ended up being the highlight of the year π! As soon as the music started, it felt like being thrown right back into my teenage years. The visuals inside the Sphere were absolutely mind-blowing β tech + nostalgia = instant emotional overload π. And the guys? Still incredible performers, full of energy like itβs still the β90s π. Hands down the best and most worthwhile concert Iβve ever been to. Already thinking about grabbing standing tickets to come back in February πΊπ»! Food stops from the trip: PublicUs βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ Lives up to the hype! Huge portions, great flavors, amazing value ππ». Steak & Eggs: Steak cooked perfectly medium-rare, bread slightly firm. Garden Farm Benedict: Softer bread with spinach sauce β delicious! Macadamia Nut Latte: Iced with real macadamia pieces β nutty and rich βοΈπ°. π 1126 E Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101 China Mama Restaurant βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβ¨ First meal of the new year π«Άπ». Everyone raves about their soy milk and fried dough, but my favorite was the Chinese chive pockets! The fried dough sticks are HUGE β three of us ordered whatβs in the pic (Fig. 10) and ended up taking most of the dough sticks home π. π 3420 S Jones Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89146 The X Pot βοΈβοΈβοΈβ¨ Last feast of 2025 had to be a hot pot buffet π₯³! The foie gras caviar and sea urchin rolls were one-time orders and just okay. Overall, a solid hot pot experience. Loved the thinly sliced Wagyu from the appetizers, and the beef tongue was great too. π The Palazzo at The Venetian, 3327 S Las Vegas Blvd Suite 2884, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Hereβs to exploring more places and tasting more delicious food in the new year π. Happy New Year β¨ Hello 2026 π« #BayAreaLife #LasVegas #Vegas #VegasEats π°π²π
