Happy Sunday! I had such a fun weekend! Saturday started off meeting some friends at the Bellagio Hotel. We were invited to attend a friend’s proposal. She wanted her family and friends to be there and was so surprised.
We met at the Bellagio Botanical Garden. The garden is changed every few months. All of the flowers and plants are real. It is pretty amazing.
Check out this (real) pumpkin! Wouldn’t I just love to have that. I could whip up so many pumpkin creations. 
My friend Whitney getting proposed to by the man of her dreams. It was so sweet!
After her boyfriend proposed, we all had breakfast together at Cafe Bellagio.
I started off with a cup of coffee with one sugar and cream.
There was no many decadent options on the menu, but I figured I should still try and choose a healthier option. I ordered the Garden Omelet.
Roma Tomatoes, Broccoli, Onions, Bell Peppers, Avocado
Instead of hash browns, I substituted fresh fruit. The omelet was good but I probably should have ordered something a bit different since it is kind of hard to screw up an omelet.
It was served with toast and a tomato. The tomato was really yummy!
My friend Daniella, the bride-to-be Whitney, and me.
It was truly a special morning and I am so glad I got to be a part of it.
Later that day…
I met up with friends to tailgate and then attend the UNLV/UNR football game. UNLV and UNR are really big rivals so this game is not one to miss.
Now, I am not much of a football gal, but I do love the social aspect of the games (and the drinking).
A few (probably too many) beers were had…
Beer pong was played…
And in the evening, marshmallows were roasted…
And made into s’mores.
UNLV lost unfortunately, but I had such a great time regardless!
I have a friend that came in today so I am taking tomorrow off work to hang out. I am hoping to also get in a good run as well!
How was your weekend? Are you a football fan?

An audience at the proposal? How fun! She looks *so* happy—that was very cute!
I loving LV more with every post…!
What a great day! I probably would have chosen the omelet too – just because it’s a safer bet.
Wow looks like so much fun! The garden is gorgeous. My husband got a big 100 pound pumpkin and then realized he had to carry it up 37 steps lol. The proposal is way too cute!
xo
What a pretty garden! I’m not a huge football fan but I enjoy watching it with a big group… It’s never done by myself.
Aww I love proposals. Congrats to your friend!
Yes, I am a major football fan, but NFL more so than college. Looks like you had a fun weekend!
Glad you had a ton of fun! I go to USC, so craaaaazy tailgating weekend. Then we lost by one point! >_<
The most impressive thing at the tailgate was the 16-foot breakfast burrito. It was like a python of cheese and flour.
I love the Bellagio Botanical Garden… I really want to go to Vegas…
I’m not a big football fan, but everyone else in my house is…
what a great way to propose! and yes, i am a football fan (NFL) but to be honest, i don’t follow the season. when the game is on, i get into it, but other than that, i don’t know too much. still learning all 101 rules also.
I’m a big college football fan, but nothing else.
Looks like a fun weekend. Congrats to your friends!! How sweet.
No, the Rebels lost, darn it. I do not really like college football, but I did go to UNLV, so I have a special place in my heart for the team. I only went once the entire time I lived there.
I miss the Bellagio displays. That is awesome that he proposed to your friend there. Ryan proposed to me up in the Mt. Charleston area, on the Cathedral Rock hike.
How perfect! Mt. Charleston is so pretty!
Sounds like you had a great weekend! I have to ask what was on top of that tomato that you had with your breakfast???
You know its weird, the menu didn’t say what it was. We figured it was maybe a breadcrumb topping. It was really tasty!
What a sweet proposal! And roasted marshmellows sounds like an awesome weekend
Jealous – I’ve never been to Vegas – how nice to be there on your friends happy day!
I like making football food – but other than watching our local Bears play, the football watching is all my hubs!
