If you’re anything like me, the perfect weekend includes a little bit of everything—upscale bites, casual cocktails, and a few surprises along the way. This weekend was all about exploring local favorites around Downtown Summerlin. Whether you’re planning a night out or just want to know where to grab your next bite, here’s what made the list:

JING – Downtown Summerlin

The Vibe: Trendy and modern with an elevated energy. Indoor and outdoor seating options make it perfect for happy hour or dinner with a view. It’s chic but approachable, and as the night goes on, expect louder music and a more party-forward vibe.

What We Ordered:

• Crispy Rock Shrimp

• Lettuce Wraps

• Sushi Rolls

• $9 Signature Cocktails + $5 Beers (Happy Hour Menu)

Need to Know: Happy Hour is available daily from 4–6 PM. Jing is especially known for its fresh seafood options and curated wine list, making it a favorite for those who enjoy a lighter, more refined menu.

Best For: Happy hour, date night, or getting dressed up just because.

T-Bones Chophouse – Red Rock Casino

The Vibe: Upscale, refined, and ideal for a night when you want to splurge a little. With seating options indoors and out, the poolside patio gives you a touch of resort relaxation while still delivering an elevated dining experience. Service is top-tier from start to finish.

What We Ordered:

• Appetizers: Tomato Caprese, Piedmontese Beef Tartare

• Entrées: Petite Filet Mignon, Wedge Salad (chopped on request)

• Sides to Share: Truffle Tater Tots, Mac & Cheese, Grilled Asparagus

• Dessert: Fried Oreos

Need to Know: Portions are generous, especially the sides. You’ll leave full—and probably dreaming about those truffle tots.

Best For: Celebrations, upscale dinners, or impressing someone special.

Frankie’s Uptown – Downtown Summerlin

The Vibe: Casual, sporty, and friendly with a strong neighborhood feel. Limited patio seating is available (dog-friendly!), but we opted to sit inside at the bar. Big TVs, good music, and solid bar energy make it a great pit stop while shopping or running errands.

What We Ordered:

• Italian Sushi (new menu addition!)

• Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeños

• Fried Calamari

• Drinks: Beer + Specialty Cocktails

Need to Know: Their Stromboli is what they’re known for—especially the Knight Stromboli (named after the Las Vegas Golden Knights) and the Aviator Stromboli. The bourbon and whiskey selection is also worth exploring if you’re into classic pours or creative cocktails.

Best For: Sports bar lovers, casual drinks, or grabbing a bite in between errands with friends.

The Final Bite

From sleek happy hour scenes to indulgent steak dinners and low-key bar bites, Summerlin has something for every vibe. Whether you’re planning a weekend with the girls or just need an excuse to try somewhere new, these spots are worth bookmarking. Save this post for your next local food crawl—and let me know which spot I should check out next!

What I Wore for my Lucky in Love Bachelorette Weekend

My Lucky in Love bachelorette weekend in Vegas was everything I wanted—celebrating with my best girls, making unforgettable memories, and, of course, wearing outfits that fit every moment of the weekend perfectly. I planned themed looks for each day that felt effortless, fun, and still true to my style. From custom touches to playful accessories, here’s everything I wore for my bachelorette weekend and where I found each piece.

Friday Night: Lucky in Love

For our first night out, we went to a comedy show before heading to the Strip for drinks and late-night bites. I wanted something that felt fun and a little unexpected, so I wore a silver sequin top with light-wash straight-leg denim. The top was a heavier material and felt great on, but definitely required pasties or boob tape with its style.

To make the look more personal, I added white iron-on patches to the back of my jeans that spelled out my new last name, and I loved how they turned out. Such an easy DIY that made the outfit feel even more special. I kept accessories minimal with diamond studs and a black bag, then finished it off with metallic silver pumps from Amazon for just the right amount of fun. This outfit was easily one of my favorites from the weekend.

Saturday Brunch: Drinks on You

For brunch, we kept things casual but fun. I wore a white cropped graphic tee that said Drinks on You in red to tie in with the Lucky in Love theme, paired with light-wash denim.

All the girls stuck to a similar look—denim bottoms (shorts, jeans, or skirts) with simple tops, which made getting ready effortless and super easy for a casual day of drinking!

Saturday Night: Blacked Out

For our night out, I wanted something sleek with a little edge. I wore a white fitted one-shoulder dress with a side cutout and tie detail. I paired it with minimal white heels and pearl and sequin “BRIDE” earrings, which added the perfect bachelorette touch without feeling over the top.

I kept it classic with a simple white bag, while all my girls wore black dresses, making our Saturday night look come together exactly how I envisioned.

Sunday Funday: Nik’s Feeling Lucky

Sunday was all about being comfortable but still put together. I designed custom Lucky in Love bachelorette shirtsusing a template I found on Etsy, making a few tweaks to personalize them for our group. The girls all wore denim bottoms again, and I had a little extra fun with accessories.

I ordered a bunch of funny trucker hats from Shein, and we played trucker hat roulette before heading out. Everyone randomly picked a hat to wear for the day, and somehow, each one fit their personality perfectly.

For shoes, we all went with white sneakers, and I made custom fanny packs to complete the look. I ordered plain black bags from Shein and added each girl’s initials in white, while mine was white with “MRS” in pearls and rhinestones.

Every outfit I wore this weekend felt like the perfect fit for each moment—fun, effortless, and still true to my style. The best part was adding little personal touches that made everything feel even more special.

My bachelorette weekend is finally here, and I couldn’t be more excited. Since I live in Vegas, all my best friends are flying in to celebrate, and we have an unreal weekend planned. Thankfully, my girls helped me stay organized and stress-free while planning, so now I get to fully enjoy every second of it.

I wanted this weekend to be more than just going out—I wanted to make it memorable, with a mix of classic Vegas fun and a few personal touches. From themed outfits to thoughtful bachelorette gifts, every detail is set for a weekend we won’t forget.

The Weekend Lineup

To keep things fun and a little extra, I picked themes for each day. Nothing too over-the-top, just a way to make the weekend feel even more put together.

Friday: Lucky in Love

• What we’re wearing: The girls are in red, and I’m in silver sequins/sparkle
• Plans: Comedy show, then drinks and gambling on the Strip

We’re starting the weekend with Nikki Glaser and David Spade’s comedy show, then heading out for a night on the Strip. The plan is simple: drinks, gambling, and late-night food—because no night out in Vegas is complete without stopping for fries at some point.

Saturday: Blacked Out

• What we’re wearing: The girls are in black, and I’m in white
• Plans: Party brunch, dinner at Pinky’s, and seeing David Guetta at the club

Starting the day with brunch at LAVO—because day drinking is the best kind of drinking. After a little downtime, we have dinner at Pinky’s, Lisa Vanderpump’s new spot, before heading to the club to see David Guetta DJ live.

Sunday: Nik’s Feeling Lucky

• What we’re wearing: Custom shirts and funny trucker hats
• Plans: Brunch, trucker hat roulette, bar hopping, zip lining, maybe tattoos

Before we head out, we’re kicking things off with trucker hat roulette—all the hats go in a bag, the girls get blindfolded, and they pick one at random to wear for the day. Then it’s brunch at Happy Camper, bar hopping on Fremont Street, and zip lining. If the mood is right, there’s a good chance some of us end up getting tattoos. We’re closing out the weekend with a casual dinner, bar food, and drinks.

Bachelorette Gifts: What I Put in Their Welcome Bags

I wanted to put together gifts that weren’t just cute, but also useful—things my friends would actually need during the trip!

What’s in the bags?

• Custom shirts for Sunday
• Funny trucker hats for roulette
• Sunglasses because Vegas is bright and hangovers are real
• Fanny packs for hands-free essentials
• Karma Water to keep us alive
• Makeup wipes and eye patches for recovery
• Hair ties and hand sanitizer because they’re always needed
• Chapstick because dry lips are never the vibe
• Advil for obvious reasons

Everything in these bags will come in handy over the weekend, but they’re also things my friends can actually use after the trip, which was important to me.

Let the bachelorette weekend begin! 

This weekend is about celebrating, making memories, and having the best time with my favorite people. Everything is planned, the outfits are set (almost!), and now it’s time to enjoy it and soak in every minute of this weekend celebrating.

Birthday weekend loading… and I’ve got outfits planned for every vibe because why not make the whole weekend a celebration? 🎉 This year, I wanted to make the most of it—each day has its own plans, its own vibe, and of course, its own outfit. From a dressed-up date night to laid-back Saturday fun and Sunday football energy, this weekend is about balancing glam, cozy, and spirited looks. Here’s how I’m styling my weekend lineup:

Friday night is all about turning up the glam for date night with my fiancé. We’re trying a new Italian spot, so I’m stepping out in leather, gold accents, and the perfect mix of bold and polished. This look is ready to celebrate another trip around the sun in style. 🍝✨

Saturday calls for something cozy and casual as we’re running around town. Think coffee stops, a casual lunch, and bowling (yes, I plan to win). With the Vegas weather dipping into the 40s, layering up with my favorite oversized denim jacket, leggings, and Uggs is non-negotiable—it’s giving cozy but cute. ☕🎳

And then there’s Sunday Funday, aka football time. 🏈 We’re heading to our go-to sports bar with friends for some Buffalo Bills action—beer buckets, apps, and the best atmosphere with fans who know how to bring the energy. I’ll be rocking my Bills gear layered with a puffer and my comfiest sneakers because cozy and spirited is the game plan for the day.
