Visit Las Vegas - Rock Shot Bingo!

Jello shots for the win!

My coworker shared that she had so much fun at Rock Shot Bingo that I knew I had to add it to my Las Vegas itinerary! Definitely not you normal bingo where you keep talking to a minimum, this hour of fun is themed and includes a live DJ! Rock Shot Bingo is held on varying weekends at the five Station Casinos: Red Rock Resort, Green Valley Ranch, Palace Station, Boulder Station, and Santa Fe Station. 

We attended a session at the Green Valley Ranch. Doors open an hour before the 9pm session and I highly recommend you get there early if you want your group to sit together. Each game has a $100 prize with the last coverall game prize of $1000! 

There is a $35 minimum buy in per person and includes 10 Games/50 Cards. It's all electronic cards so you will need to watch your screen for BINGO because you certainly won't hear any numbers being called out. The session also includes drinks and if there is a winner on your table, the entire table gets free jello shots. We had five winners on our table which meant a lot of jello shots! Rock Shot Bingo was definitely a highlight of our Vegas trip!

We stopped at Alaska Sausage & Seafood for omiyage.  

They offer a nice selection of sausages, smoked fish, and more.

There are even samples for you to try!

They also process and pack fish and game that you may catch!  

At the shop you'll find lots of European-made goods, as the original owner was from Europe.

Definitely stop in for some omiyage!

Visit Las Vegas: Moignet Café

Moignet - Mochi Beignet

Home of the viral mochi beignet and the even tastier mango mochi, Moignet Café is a great place to get sweet treats in Las Vegas. Located in Las Vegas' Chinatown, the café offers a variety of breakfast sandwiches, lattes, and desserts.

The moignet is a blend of fresh mochi beignet dough filled with house-made mochi filling and dusted with matcha powdered sugar. You can also ask for regular powdered sugar. The moignets come in orders of 6 or 12 and you can choose to purchase sauces: yuzu, strawberry, or chocolate.

The mango mochi was definitely my favorite. It is a large piece of mango with cream wrapped in a sheet of soft mochi. 100% recommend! Service was super friendly, but expect to stand in a long line. Inside and outside seating available to enjoy your treats.

I loved the Mango Mochi!

Visit Alaska: Mirror Lake

On the way to Eklutna Lake, we passed a sign for Mirror Lake, so on the way back, we made a stop so we could check it out.

We saw several families picnicking and fishing, and it's a popular spot where people go paddle boarding, kayaking, and canoeing thanks to calm waters.  

And yes, it is aptly named mirror lake.

Capturing shots with the reflections makes for stunning photos!

MOSA - Taiwanese-style Ice Cream in Waikiki!

MOSA has been on my radar for awhile so when we recently staycationed in Waikiki, I knew I had to make a visit. The walk up ice cream shop is is located on 2238 Lau’ula Street and is open daily from 4pm-12am making it the perfect after dinner treat. 

The best seller on the menu is the Mosa wrap - up to three flavors of ice cream wrapped in a crepe and topped with peanut brittle shavings. The ice cream paired perfectly with the thin crepe and the ice cream itself was delicious. The peanut brittle shavings were tasty and gave the dessert a nice crunch.

Also on the menu are tanghulu, ice cream, and floats! Service was friendly. Lots of outdoor seating making it a great place to enjoy dessert with a group.

Peanut brittle shaved as a topping.

A delicious dessert!

Visit Anchorage: Simon & Seafort's

 I wanted to eat Alaskan Black Cod, and Simon & Seafort's had it on the menu.

Pan Seared Black Cod

You can opt for a variety of Alaskan Catch - black cod, wild king salmon, copper river sockeye salmon, and halibut, to be prepared grilled, baked, pan seared, or blackened.  The fish is topped with a beurre blanc and is accompanied by an herb couscous and veggies.  Everything on the plate was delicious - the cod was so tender and mild.  

Wild King Salmon

The menu also offers fish prepared in a variety of other ways if you prefer.

Oven-Roasted Chicken Dijon

Surf & Turf

The Surf & Turf included char-grilled sirloin and garlic shrimp, along with mashed potatoes and asparagus.

Grilled Honey Chipotle Shrimp

The food, view, and service were all great!
