My Las Vegas Resolutions for 2012

I've been thinking about my New Year's Resolutions again.


Not just for the year 2012, but for the LAS VEGAS traveling year, which is more achievable for me than regular resolutions, trust me.


I try to give myself new things to do and see in Las Vegas for each trip so I can "expand my horizons"...and have something interesting for folks to read about!


Here are my Las Vegas New Year's Resolutions for 2012:


1) Eat at the Wynn Country Club's Jazz Brunch Buffet.  This one should be fairly easy to achieve, since I have a March trip coming up and I've already booked a reservation for the Wynn Country Club on Sunday morning.  (Mom, if you're reading this...surprise!  And happy birthday.)  After hearing the reviews about it being comparable to the Jasmine Brunch Buffet at Bellagio, I was determined to put this at the top of my list.  And it is.  Oh, I'm looking forward to that meal.


2)  See two new shows this year.  I've seen The Beatles' LOVE by Cirque du Soliel four times now, and I think it's time to see something else.  That's not to say I won't go back and see LOVE again at some point in the future, but I need to change things up.  I have ideas in mind, too.


3)  Try three new restaurants.  New to ME, that is.  It's all about broadening my horizons this year.  I love Mon Ami Gabi, but I want to try something different and see how well I like it.


4) Stay at one new hotel.  This one might be a little harder to do.  I have the March trip planned like I mentioned above, but I don't have anything planned beyond that.  I already have my hotel booked for this trip, too, and I'm not likely to change it for my mom and I.  This one is definitely up in the air.


5)  Go off-Strip.  Well, this one is easy enough, if I decide to do it.  There are great casinos and other attractions off-Strip, but my trips are usually either short or with a minor in tow, and neither of those things don't lend themselves to jaunts off-Strip.


6)  Take more trip photos and videos.  I've gotten away from taking as many photos on certain trips because I've seen it all (well, a lot of it, anyway).  What I really need to do is try to take new photos with a different perspective...or just different lighting.  There are a few photos I regret NOT getting during my November trip, and I'll try to be more aware and just DO IT.  I think they'd make a great photo essay.


So, only six Las Vegas resolutions for the year.  That's not too many, and very achievable.  If I get them all done, I'll be sure to treat myself to a nice Bailey's and hot chocolate on my next trip!
