We've been in the US for 8 days now. Our main purpose of coming all the way to the US is to attend the husband's cousin's wedding. The wedding will be held this afternoon in a Baptist Church in Vallejo. Here's what happened so far.
Like what most visitors, we enjoyed the buffet. We had buffet for almost all meals. Buffet is the way to go in Vegas. It is cheaper and is found everywhere. The only catch is we just don't know how long the food is in the same buffet. The Kusina ni Lorraine restaurant Filipino food for a craving Pinoy traveller. Like most Vegas buffets, there is no effort in the presentation. We had our fill of grease and meat. When we were not with our hosts, Vic and I would proceed to our must-visit restaurants like Cheesecake Factory and PF Chang's. We even discovered Buca di Beppo, an Italian restaurant that served really good Italian food, even better than Maggiano's, Italianni's or Olive Garden.

We tried our hand in playing the machines. I didn't really make an effort to win. I just played $15 and that didn't go a long way. I'd rather spend it somewhere else.
The most eventful part of that leg is the road accident that took place in Las Vegas Blvd and Arby. We were waiting for our turn to go when somebody hit us from the back. Luckily, we didn't get hurt. Our car was pretty tough and we were wearing our seatbelts. The car that hit us was pretty wrecked.
Other than that, it was a very fruitful leg. Ninewest had shoes as low as $19.99. Naturalizer had the same. Old Navy and Gap had 50% off the Clearance Tag. We hit the stores almost everyday and we still failed to go to several other shops. It was a good exercise of budgeting, self-control and indulgence.
One Tita remarked that we accomplished a lot (of shopping) in the five days that we're there. I make it a point to make a list of what we need to do, buy, visit or taste before we leave for a particular destination. That explains the remaining 1/4 of our budget consumed in Vegas. We had three balikbayan boxes filled and shipped by Thursday. Hopefully, the rest of our budget would be enough for the remainder of the trip.
