WHAT'S NEW IN VEGAS: AN UPDATED VEGAS 2.0 TRAVEL GUIDE

Strolling through the Venetian Resort Las Vegas

I could hardly contain my childish excitement as we glided through the air taking in the view of the Las Vegas Strip. Although it had only been two years since I attended my friends bachelorette in Vegas, there were so many activities I still needed to cross off my bucket list and so many recently opened restaurants I was itching to try. It was good to be back and now, soaring over the Vegas Strip in a helicopter, soaking up its buzzing energy from an unbelievable vantage point, I was hit with a title wave of elation that literally made me laugh aloud. Viva Las Vegas, baby!

This time around I wasn’t attending a bachelorette. Instead, I was with a great group of friends who enjoyed eating and trying new things. Some of us had been to Vegas before while others were experiencing it for the first time. Although much of what you expect from a Vegas vacation remains available, the city is also rolling out the red carpet with many new experiences for visitors to try. Tons of restaurants have recently opened and there’s even a new hotel on the strip! I was on a mission! So for five and a half days we dined, drank and explored. I crossed so many items off my Vegas bucket list and have so many new recommendations to share because it’s Vegas 2.0 and it’s better than ever!

The recently opened Casa Playa at The Wynn Las Vegas!

WHAT’S NEW IN VEGAS

My meal at The Wynn Las Vegas’ newest Mexican costal restaurant, Casa Playa, was sensational. Chef Sarah Thompson’s ceviche, aguachile, and seafood platters are all sustainably sourced from Mexico’s Pacific coastline. The selection of carne is also hard to pass on with Wagyu tacos and suckling pig carnitas being major highlights, both served alongside fresh house-made corn tortillas. Trying one of their cocktails is also a must as Wynn’s expert mixologist Mariena Mercer Boarini has curated a collection of delicious cocktails using only the best spirits and produce of Mexico. As soon as I walked into the place I knew it was something to get excited about. The ambiance was beautiful, the staff were so friendly, and the drinks and seafood dishes that followed were exceptional. I already have plans to come back on my next trip to Las Vegas.

Join the party and feast on Julian Serrano’s revamped menu of exquisite Spanish fare at Julian Serrano Tapas located in Aria. Two-time recipient of the James Beard Award and Madrid native, Chef Julian Serrano shares his interpretations of his native Spanish fare with delectable small plates with big flavours like ‘Pulpo a la Gallega’, an octopus dish with potatoes and Spanish paprika, and Shisihito Peppers dressed with lemon and sea salt. If you’re a big paella fan like me, I recommend persuading a friend or two to tag team one of their delicious paellas as well. And don’t forget to save room for dessert! We did a trio of their orange blossom ‘Crema Catalana’, homemade Churros in a spicy hot chocolate, and Monchego cheese cake, that we devoured. Top it all off with their refreshing house made Sangria that takes 3 days to create, and you have a great meal to get you started on a night out in Las Vegas.

A slice of Canada has found its way to Las Vegas with one of the world’s most celebrated Greek seafood restaurants opening its 7th location in The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. Born in Montreal, Estiatorio Milos serves an à la carte menu of dishes family style, in a setting inspired by Greek Cycladic landscapes and the iconic Milos fresh fish market. Open for lunch and dinner, Milos is perfect for large groups, date nights, celebrations, and up scale family dinners. While in Vegas I had a chance to try their prix fixe lunch menu for $38 which is a great option if you are going out as a large group and want to keep it simple. Menu favourites included the Big Eye ‘Tuna Tartare’ with micro basil, Serrano chile and orange, and ‘Astako Makaronada’ a Deep Sea Bay of Fundy lobster pasta, Athenian style.

If you are a fan of celebrity chef David Chang, Majordomo Meat & Fish opened at The Palazzo right before the pandemic which, in my opinion, means it’s practically brand new! The restaurant features a large main dining room, a nice bar area with additional seating, and a secret karaoke room which is available to groups after dinner for singing and cocktails. My friends and I had dinner here and ordered a la carte to share family style. Big hits include the ‘Bing Bread’, ‘Shaved Fois Gras’ with pear butter and ricotta, ‘Crispy Cauliflower Shawarma’ with tahini, cherry tomatoes and pomegranate, and Shrimp Crispy Rice with spicy salt, gochujang and cilantro. For an entertaining table side experience order the ‘The Major Doughnut’ for dessert! It’s essentially pan fried Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in a banana flambé with vanilla ice cream and caramel whip. It’s delicious and the best dessert I had in Vegas!

Resort World Las Vegas - the first integrated resort to be built on the Las Vegas Strip in over a decade

The first integrated resort to be built on the Las Vegas strip in over a decade has finally open its doors to the public! Resort World Las Vegas is an urban contemporary resort that blends technology, luxury with the long standing traditions and level of hospitality associated with the Resort World brand. Situated on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, adjacent to the Fashion Show Mall and Las Vegas Convention Center, Resort World Las Vegas is comprised of three hotel properties - Las Vegas Hilton, Conrad Las Vegas and Crockfords Las Vegas. The hotel casino floor boast 117,000 square feet of both slots and table games like blackjack, craps, and roulette, but the real ‘wow factor’ can be found on the 66th floor at their more intimate Sky Casino. Resort World also has the largest pool complex on the strip with seven stunning pools to choose from, an Awana Spa that offers a variety of treatments inspired by European and Eastern rituals to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul, as well as over 70,000 square feet of curated designer boutiques to help you indulge in some retail therapy. Additionally, expect to see artists like Katy Perry, Celine Dion, and Luke Bryan performing at Resorts World Theatre, a multi level concert and entertainment venue with a 5,000 person capacity that is outfitted to host a myriad of affairs from A-List concerts to conventions. Lastly, there are over 40 globally inspired food and beverage experiences to explore at Resorts World Las Vegas, more than any other destination on the Strip.

Enjoyed my lychee cocktail ‘Fuhy Haiku’ from Fuhu Las Vegas outside at Ayu Dayclub

I had a chance to experience Resort World Las Vegas a few times during my latest trip to Las Vegas and was even invited to try a few bites from one of their signature restaurants FUHU, a contemporary Asian inspired restaurant who’s menu features a wide variety of dished including seafood, steak and sushi, plus specialty cocktails and sake. Everything I tasted was delicious including their signature lychee cocktail ‘Fuhu Haiku’, duck fried rice and ‘Fuhu Fried Chicken’ with chile glaze and scallions. Next time I am back in Las Vegas I will for sure be organizing a proper sit down dinner here so I can try the rest of the menu.

DJ Snake at Zouk Nightclub, Resort World Las Vegas

One of the first events I attended while in Las Vegas was to see DJ Snake perform at Resort World Las Vegas’s club, Zouk Nightclub. Attached to Ayu Dayclub - a Bali inspired outdoor oasis - Zouk Nightclub is a massive venue spanning over 26,000 square feet with the capacity to hold over 2,100 people. The club features a large dance floor surrounded by go-go dancers and booth seating. The main stage, although elevated didn’t feel impersonal which I think allowed the crowd to really connect with the DJ and music. Upscale nightclub attire is required to enter so come dressed to impress!

Helicopter Tour Las Vegas - Maverick Helicopter Soheila_.jpg

If you don’t get a photo, did it really happen? Me at Maverick Helicopter in Las Vegas ready to take flight!

FUN GROUP & FAMILY ACTIVITIES IN LAS VEGAS

One of the biggest highlights of my trip was definitely doing an afternoon helicopter tour of the Vegas Strip with Maverick Helicopters. I have been in a helicopter before but for some reason it still fills me with childish excitement ever single time I take flight in one, and this was no different. The ride was a total of 15 minutes long and took us soaring above the strip giving way to incredible views of Vegas. It was such a fun experience and I got a thrill out of seeing iconic landmarks like Paris Paris’s Eiffel Tower, Bellagio, Wynn and the Venetian from way up high.

HOT TIP: Sit on the pilot’s side of the helicopter for the best views! The tour starts at $149 USD and shuttle service to the Las Vegas Strip Terminal, where you would be meet your pilot, is available.

Dinner at the Wynn is always a good idea and their restaurant Lakeside is about as amazing of a setting as it gets in Las Vegas. Situated on the edge of the Lake of Dreams, you aren’t just getting an upscale dining experience, you’re also getting a beautiful show full of characters and music! The girls and I lucked out with a great table on the patio that provided us a prime location to view the show all while feasting on one delicious dish after the next. Highlights of this meal definitely include everything from the ‘Raw & Chilled’ section of their menu as well as the Atlantic Diver Scallops in a cauliflower velouté, fennel chutney, grapefruit, and roasted chicken jus. For dessert, ‘Pretty In Pink’ and ‘Shooting Star’ both rose to the top as table favourites for presentation and taste. Although a great restaurant for large groups, entertaining clients or splurging on an upscale family dining experiences, children under 5 are not allowed in the restaurant and there is a dress code. So come dressed to the nines and ready for an unforgettable night!

Our Lakeside Las Vegas view!

An absolute must when in Las Vegas is going to a Cirque Du Soleil show. During this trip I saw 2 Cirque shows, Mystère at Treasure Island and ‘O’ at Bellagio Hotel & Casino, and both were spectacular! Mystère is an original Cirque Du Soleil production that combines high-energy acrobatics to the thunderous rhythms of the Taiko drums, and ‘O” is a theatrical performance that combines world-class acrobats, synchronized swimmers, and divers with enchanting characters. Both shows are around 90 minutes and tickets are available Wednesday through Sunday for 7:00PM and 9:30PM showings. Tickets vary in price depending on which show you choose and where you want to, sit but they start at $75-80 USD. Although I do consider this a group or family friendly activity, I would be doing you a disservice if I did not also mention that guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult and children under the age of 5 are not permitted in the theatre.

So there you have it, another trip to Vegas in the books and a lifetime of memories to go home with. If you haven’t already I also recommend you check out the guide I did after I organized my friends Bachelorette in Vegas. It’s also full of great Las Vegas restaurant recommendations and fun activities to do including the best Vegas pool party I have ever been to. If you end up doing any of the activities I shared above or dine at any of the restaurants I recommended, I would love to hear about your experience and invite you to share about it below! Until next time!

BEYOND THE VINE: EXPLORING SONOMA COUNTY BEYOND ITS WINERIES

My King Ocean View Room at Timber Cover Resort

My King Ocean View Room at Timber Cover Resort

Known internationally for its wine, Sonoma County is home to over 425 wineries and is the largest producer of wine in all of California. Located 30 miles north of San Francisco, I had a chance to visit Sonoma County last fall, and although it was the wine that originally piqued my interest, I quickly discovered that there was way more to see and do there beyond just visiting the wineries. Of course, where there is great wine there is also great food which is why I wanted to recommend some of my favorite restaurants along with favorite hotels and activities so that you can also make the most out of your time in Sonoma.

A Quick Pit Stop At The Golden Gate Bridge Is A Must On The Way To Sonoma County When Landing at SFO

A Quick Pit Stop At The Golden Gate Bridge Is A Must On The Way To Sonoma County When Landing at SFO

HOT TIP: Since Sonoma County doesn’t have an international commercial airport (only a national one - Sonoma County Airport STS), you have to fly to either San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or Oakland International Airport (OAK) when coming in from Toronto and then rent a car and drive the rest of the way (about 1 - 1.5 hours depending on traffic) or grab a connecting flight. Both airports are about the same distance away from Sonoma Country (give or take a few miles) however, if you land at SFO you have an excuse to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and stop at the observation lookout to take a quick photo of the iconic bridge before continuing on your way to Sonoma County.

On The Way Into The Town of Sonoma

While on the way into Sonoma I highly recommend stopping at Cornerstone for a bite to eat and a little wandering around to stretch your legs. Cornerstone is a mix-use indoor/outdoor complex full of boutique shops, tasting rooms, sprawling gardens, outdoor venue spaces, and even an eatery/gastro-pub with a large patio that you will happily allow to steal an hour or so of your time. Further, if you really want to play it smart, I would recommend checking their events schedule before you go and timing it with your visit. Apparently their Oktoberfest event is one of the best in the county and really attacks a crowd!

You are sure to pass by tons of wineries before reaching the town of Sonoma, but one spot worth a quick stop is The Olive Press. Nestled among the wineries, The Olive Press is an award-winning olive oil mill that uses natural and sustainable old-world milling practices to extract the best oil from their olives. Located only 10 minutes from town, The Olive Press has a beautiful courtyard where you can sit and enjoy views of the olive orchard as well as an expansive tasting room and store where you can pick up a few souvenirs or gifts for you and your friends back home.

While In The Town of Sonoma

Day 2-6.jpg

Got My Copy Of The Scavenger Hunt From The Tourism Office In The Town Of Sonoma

Once you reach the town of Sonoma I recommend making your way to the town plaza. Recognized for being the largest plaza in California, Sonoma Plaza anchors the entire town and is where you will find the Town Hall and Tourism office. Surrounding the plaza are numerous boutiques, cafes, restaurants, art galleries, boutique hotels, and tasting rooms to explore as well as the most northwest Mission in California, the Mission San Francisco Solano. Further, the tourism office is a great place to book local tours and request a copy of their scavenger hunt (pictured above) which makes exploring the area that much more fun!

Just Up The Road

Entrance To Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

Entrance To Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

Just up the road from the town on Sonoma, no more than a 10-minute drive, you will find the beautiful sprawling property of the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa. This luxury hotel is one of the only luxury spa resorts in the country to be situated on a natural ancient thermal hot spring which makes it the perfect place to stay for anyone interested in a wellness getaway. Not only can you expect superior spa services from this hotel, but the hotels’ restaurant Santé is a recent recipient of the prestigious Michelin Star making it the perfect place to check out and stay for any epicurean.

I had the chance to spend one night at the hotel while in town and enjoy a dinner at Santé during my stay, both of which lived up to their hype and felt too short-lived. If I ever have a chance to revisit the region, I will definitely be heading back to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa for another dose of Sonoma luxury.

Head To The Coast

View Of The Sonoma Coast from Timber Cove Resort

View Of The Sonoma Coast from Timber Cove Resort

One thing I think a lot of people forget or don’t take into account about Sonoma County is that they have over 50 miles of beautiful coastline with the most enchanting views of the Pacific Ocean. One spot I fell in love with while staying on the coast was Timber Cover Resort, a newly renovated, retreat-style, boutique hotel situated on top of a cliff that has the most breathtaking sunsets. The hotel itself is a member of Design Hotels and is located close enough to the small town of Jenner that it can attract a local crowd (especially at happy hour when there is live music in the lobby), but also far enough to feel/enjoy the solitude. A few things I loved about this resort were the communal games and fire pits sprinkled troughout the property, their library of records which you could take and enjoy in your room, and the hotel’s restaurant, Coast Kitchen, which offers delicious fare using locally sourced seasonal ingredients. We spent one night at Timber Cove during our time in Sonoma County and made sure to dine at Coast Kitchen during our stay, an experience I am still swooning over. If I was ever looking for a place to retreat to for a week so I could disconnect from the world, this would be it!

Kayaking the Mouth of The Russian River With Getaway Adventures

Kayaking the Mouth of The Russian River With Getaway Adventures

While on the Sonoma County coast, it would be a shame if you didn’t take advantage of all the outdoor activities the area has to offer. One activity we did which was easy and a lot of fun was a kayaking tour along the Russian River with Getaway Adventures. Our guide met us in Jenner with all the equipment and gear we needed for the 4.5-hour tour and gave us a quick lesson before we set off. The Russian River is a hot spot for seals and it didn’t take long for our group to spot a few playing near the banks. We had a lot of fun chasing after them as they played with each other and jumped out of the water. It was a great way to spend the day and it was really nice to get out on the water and experience the area from a different point of view.

Turn It Up A Notch in Santa Rosa

A Friendly Giraffe We Got Up Close And Personal With During Our Safari West Tour

A Friendly Giraffe We Got Up Close And Personal With During Our Safari West Tour

If you want to take your time in Sonoma County up a notch and really get adventurous, I recommend heading to Safari West near Santa Rosa for the ultimate glamping experience. Unlike anything you would ever expect to experience in California, Safari West is the ultimate family-friendly, beyond-the-vine, Sonoma County experience. This animal sanctuary and wildlife preserve offers the ultimate luxury glamping experience along with group tours that get you up close to exotic wildlife like white rhinos, zebras, giraffe, cheetahs, monkeys, and much more. Located just outside Santa Rosa, Safari West promotes wildlife conservation, educational environmental concepts, and is fully accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Tours and lodging at Safari West are by reservation only and Safari tours are two hours consisting of a walk through of their aviary followed by a tour of the surrounding grounds in an open-air safari vehicle. The luxury glamping tents that you can choose to stay in feature wooden floors, heated blankets, and ensuite bathrooms outfitted with full plumbing. Although Safari West is an amazing family-friendly experience, children under 4 cannot participate in the driving portion of the safari tours, and children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Although I am not a huge camper, spending a night in a glamping tent was a lot of fun and it was crazy to hear all the animals at night. You really felt like you were in the wild. Further, it did get quite cold overnight and into the morning so I was really thankful they supplied a heated blanket, but I would also recommend bringing some warm clothes to sleep in for this experience.

All in all my time in Sonoma County was short lived but incredibly memorable. With so much to see and do beyond wineries, including our mini road trip around the county and the numerous towns we stopped in for a quick walk around and bite like Petaluma, I would recommend planning to go for 5-7 days if you really want to make the most of your time there without rushing the through the entire experience.


I hope you enjoyed reading this travel guide and found a lot of useful information to help you with planning your upcoming trip to Sonoma County. If you have any questions or comments about any of my recommendations, please feel free to leave them below and I'll be happy to answer them as soon as I can! Safe Travels!

EVANGELINE SPA @ THE EPICUREAN HOTEL - TAMPA BAY FLORIDA

Evangeline Spa @ The Epicurean Hotel in Tampa Bat

On my recent trip to Tampa Bay I got to experience my first ever HydraFacial MD® Spa Treatment! Before I talk about this breakthrough facial treatment that my head is still whirling over, let me give you some back story!

The Epicurean Hotel - Tampa’s upscale boutique hotel was voted one of Florida’s Top 10 Hotels by Conde Nast Traveler. From the ground floor up this hotel was made for food lovers! From the wine shop and theatre kitchen on the main floor to The Edge cocktail bar on the roof this hotel is the place to see and be seen. The Evangeline Spa located on the main floor of The Epicurean mimics the hotel’s passion for food by featuring food based materials, including coffee scrubs, to help guests relax. It’s no surprise then how excited I was when I got to experience their spa.

The Evangeline Spa is the best place in Tampa to spend a day relaxing and being pampered. The intimate spa setting makes you feel like a true VIP and their selection of treatments will have you walking out of there felling completely rejuvenated. Each product you will experience during your treatment has been carefully selected to awaken your senses. Their fresh fruit scrubs, buttery lotions and rich botanical oils are infused with fresh herbs to successfully relieve stress and leave you feeling revitalized.

One of the spa’s newest offerings is the HydraFacial MD® Spa Treatment. This 30 minute treatment cleans, exfoliates, extracts, hydrates and adds antioxidant protection all at the same time. The newest advancement in non-laser skin resurfacing HydraFacial MD® Spa Treatment is completely painless and is known to deliver clearer, more beautiful skin with very little redness, swelling or downtime.

Having never done a HydraFacial MD® Spa Treatment before I was surprised to see this state of the art skincare equipment in action. The non-invasive, multi-step facial procedure first exfoliates your skin using a serum that removes dead skin cells. The hand held instrument used to conduct the treatment drops serum onto you skin at the same time sucking it up again along with all the dead skin cells. It’s the weirdest sensation! Each step in the procedure is done in the exact same way where a small amount of serum is applied and suctioned off. This technique allows you to do a full peel without any irritation and clean on your pores using suction! How crazy is that!

The last step in the procedure includes an antioxidant protection serum that aims to nourish and protect the skin. I could instantly feel my skin soaking up as much of it as possible! The results were perfect – no irritation,  no redness from extraction just clean, smooth skin! After my procedure was over my technician showed me all the dead skin and dirt that was pulled off my skin - gross I know but also so cool! It was amazing how much he was able to remove even with consistent exfoliating and cleansing on my part!

If you are ever in the Tampa Bay area I greatly suggest you go check out the Evangeline Spa at the Epicurean Hotel for some relaxation and rejuvenation. After your treatment go next door and check out the amazing wine shop at the Epicurean Hotel or rooftop lounge for cocktails under the stars! A perfect way to end any day!

Have any questions about the HydraFacial MD Spa Treatmetn, Evangeline Spa or the Epicurean Hotel? Leave them in the comment section below and I will try my best to answer them!

LANGDON HALL HOTEL AND SPA - CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO

Have you ever had something great and completely unexpected happened to you? Did it make you pause for a moment in disbelief before cloaking you in happiness and gratitude? In June it happened to me. I won! I woke up one morning still dazed, nursing my morning coffee as I perused through my new emails when I saw the subject line, Congratulations! You're the Winner… Winner!? What did I win? What a great way to start of my day. A gift certificate to Langdon Hall from Branding and Buzzing's July giveaway! One of the most prestigious spas in Canada! Are you kidding me! Is this a joke? Is someone playing a huge trick on me? Is Ashton Kutcher going to jump out of my closet and punk me?

I literally had to read the email three times.  I have never won anything. ANYTHING. My next immediate thought was – who am I going to invite? Friends? NAW! Think Soheila, think! Family? Getting warmer. My mom!? Ding Ding Ding!!!!  I mean I owe the women my life. Not to mention she has probably invested a bazillion dollars in educating me, feeding me and making sure I have clothes on my body and a roof over my head. I think it’s safe to say she deserves a little getaway to Langdon Hall, especially with her favorite person in the world. Or at least I will be after this!


FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM @ISTHATSOH


So off we went last week! We jumped in the car and within an hour and a half we arrived at Langdon Hall! The Cambridge property is gorgeous and although it was my first time to the hotel and my mom is practically a regular, we still were blown away by the beautiful property and landscaped grounds.  Once checked-in we were also very happy to hear that the spa had recently been moved into a newly renovated space and our spa services would give us access to all their new amenities including a comfortable indoor sitting room, a sundeck with lounge chairs, an indoor exercise room and a whirlpool and sauna.  Wow!

After my mom and I indulged in much needed massages we continued onto our mani, pedi spa services. Now one thing that I am going to point out about Langdon Hall Spa that I absolutely loved was their product line. They have a variety of products and scents that make services easy to customize to your preferences! Weather you prefer citrus or frankincense or only like vegan/organic products, they‘ve got it! I was especially impressed with their SpaRitual line of products and nail lacquers that are completely vegan and free from 5 of the most harmful chemicals found in nail polish. Not only do they use such great products, but if you get a mani/pedi they send you home with two SpaRitual nail lacquer bottles! What!? Talk about the gift that keeps on giving!

Once our spa services were complete and there was time for a small pause before dinner I took the opportunity to wander around the property. Curiously enough, as I poked my nose around the property I came across this gorgeous little secret garden door, a green house to die for, tennis courts, a pool and an expansive vegetable and flower garden I could of spent hours exploring.

However, I wasn’t about to keep my hungry mom from dinner. Back to the main house I went – very excited because Langdon Hall’s Executive Chef Jason Bangerter is known for combining ingredients that are grown and foraged on the property to create dishes and experiences so grand and captivating that they are impossible to forget. From the black trumpet mushroom amuse bouch to the summer fruit and foie gras appetizers (yes, I had two appetizers) my meal could not of started off on a better foot. To conclude the meal I chose the beef tenderloin –  so moist and flavorful it could make a vegetarian crave meat! To finish off my mom and I each ordered a desserts – the Chocolate Ganache and the Peanut Butter Sable with some Langdon Hall Honey Mousse. A symphony of flavors! Great dishes on their own but even better combined together!

It’s definitely safe to say that after the experience I had at Landon Hall, winning a Langdon Hall gift card is one of the best things that happened to me this year and the absolute best way to celebrate my one year blogiverssary! I definitely recommend anyone looking to celebrate an upcoming milestone or interested in a relaxing weekend getaway to look into Langdon Hall. Although I did not stay overnight they do offer many packages that include a mix of accommodations, spa services and dining options you should definitely consider checking out before booking your reservation.
