Long distance Las Vegas birthday

September 3, 2012 11:52 AM

How can I help my friend have a great birthday in Las Vegas while I'm 1,700 miles away?

A friend of mine has just turned 35 and is celebrating her birthday with a few days in Las Vegas, where she has never been. They are staying at Mandalay Bay. Her interests, really, include lounging by the pools, excellent dinners/drinking (a dinner is already planned at Todd English's Olives @ Bellagio), shopping, trivial gambling, Fashion's Night Out this week, etc. She is not much into taking in any shows, strippers, clubs. I would like to gift her with something while she is in Las Vegas to enhance the experience for her, but the best I can come up with is a bottle of champagne to the room. I'd like something a bit more special than that (at under a hundo, if that's possible)! What say you, hive mind?

Schedule her a spa treatment! Mandalay Bay has a spa.

A cabana at the adult only pool. Or entry fee to the adult pool and poolside drinks. All at Mandalay Bay.

The pool is called Moorea Bay. You can rent spa beds or poolside rooms. It is a very very nice see and be seen pool vibe.

Send flowers to her room? They will last longer than the champagne and she'll see them every time she's in the room.
