Spending Money Like It's Water in Las Vegas

Sernedipity 3 of New York has been one of my favorite haunts for over 20 years! I was so excited to see them open at Caesars Palace . I stopped by recently for their world famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, an indulgent concoction blending 20 different kinds of chocolate into an icy, rich cocoa flavor.($8.95)
Next to me, a couple was feasting on the infamous Golden Opulence sundae for $1,000. The restaurant's golden opulence sundae is covered in 23-carat edible gold leaf and is also rich in flavor thanks to Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla beans and chunks of rare Chuao chocolate from Venezuela.
They confided in me that yesterday they treated themselves to the $750 cupcake at Palazzo. Made with special chocolate from Venezuela’s Valrhona plantation, Tahitian Gold Vanilla Caviar (the Palazzo calls it the world’s most labor-intensive agricultural crop) and Louis XIII de Remy Martin Cognac, the Decadence D’Or cupcake is the piece de resistance at the Palazzo’s Sweet Surrender cupcake shop.
Money means different things to different people! It can buy you a lot - or just a little. I guess it depends on how much you have to blow.
What else can $750 buy you in Las Vegas?
It can get you One night’s stay at Aria's 1,465 square-foot penthouse city-view suite with personal concierge and private elevator access.
It can get you Two night's stay in one of Encore's 745 square-foot Resort Suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, Wynn signature beds and European linens.
Or it can get you Five night's stay at Paris . Pick a Deluxe room with a view that takes your breath away - you can choose from pool or Eiffel Tower vistas.
It can get you dinner for 2 at the MGM Grand tasting the creations of world-famous Chef of the century Joel Robuchon. 13-course Menu Degustation for two plus complimentary limousine service to all guest reservations for the restaurant.
A day at the Red Rock Canyon Spa for 2! Just a quick drive from the Strip, more than 35,000 square feet of tranquil, luxurious surroundings invite you to a level of relaxation beyond your wildest dreams. Featuring private treatment suites that appear to float on the water, the Red Rock Spa is a sleek, ultra-modern retreat complete with a state-of-the-art fitness center and salon.
Entertainment and show tickets like Bellagio's Cirque's water show "O" can run $50-$100 each. So your $750 might go to 3 pairs of show tickets plus a couple cocktails. Meanwhile, the fountain show outside the Bellagio , is FREE.
How about a helicopter ride for 2 to the Grand Canyon? Maverick Helicopters offers VIP level service and a list of unique air tours for every attraction seeker. Most Grand Canyon tours run about $300-$400 per person.
Maybe you want something more for your money. There are still lots of great bargains and buffets all over town.
Or just have a cupcake!
