A Bellagio Birthday for my special fella! Fountain-side at PRIME Steakhouse! One of the best dining experiences of our lives . . .

May 20, 2022

I bippity bopped a really great birthnight dinner for Miles. We both said it was one of the best dining experiences of our life. Miles was impressed. Keeps telling everyone how well I did in the birthday department this year! 🥳Yay!

We had the perfect table — it used to be Steve Wynn‘s when he owned the Bellagio. Fountain side with an amazing view of the famed Bellagio fountain dancing water show. It was pretty spectacular — not gonna lie!

Our table was all the way forward. 🤗 By the gate leading to the “lake”, as they call it. 📸: Bellagio Las Vegas / PRIME Steakhouse

I knew it would be a great evening no matter what. But I wanted Miles to feel really special on his birthday. So I set an intention. Then took some aligned action by sending a note to the Prime and explained the situation.

And voila! Best seat at all of the Bellagio! For the best fella I know! He sooo deserved the special!

“I think the role of a chef, is not just to cook, but to create cravings.” says Prime’s Partner Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. And this place did. But not just cravings for the food. This place is a multi-sensory “experience” not just a fabulous dinner spot.

Across the street, or the “Strip” as it’s known, is the Eiffel Tower all lit ‘a twinkle. Which just brings warm fuzzies in my heart — I’ve such a fondness for France! 💙🤍❤️

But even closer to the table than the Francophile findings, in the desert, is the Bellagio’s iconic “lake” with the magical dancing water fountains! A huge part of my light work on the planet right is working with sacred water! So it was really special to be next to such a spectacular display of water art. The lights, water, and music all dancing together with the finest food and drink made for a delightful epicurean wonderment.

I lo❤️e being by water. Ocean. River. Sea. Babbling brook. Manmade lake. What you’re sipping out of your Waterford! It’s all divine!

Know what else is divine … and decadent?! Or meal! So yummy!

We started with the caviar course. Such a delicacy! Miles prefers the caviar on a cracker like we have it at home. But I love it on a blini! With someone else preparing them! AND putting all the accoutrements together. lol

Miles went on to have the surf and turf special with a petite filet and special lobster from New Zealand. I ordered the dry aged bone in ribeye — with leftovers for Miss Mia the Choubedoo at the forefront of my mind! And ohh so many delicious side dishes you indulge in at a steak house — sautéed mushrooms, creamed spinach, and potatoes gratin. Maginifique!

Everything about the evening was spectacular! Food. Service. Table. The one thing I would have done differently is gotten reservation earlier in the evening. We so enjoyed having the caviar course with sparkling wine. Then we split a Cesar salad. Then our entrees with red wine and all the yummy sides.

Well. Anyhow. The whole restaurant was full. Then ya blinked. And it was just us.

To be clear. No one said get out. Our servers actually verbalized more then once to take our time. We weren’t being rushed. But it felt strange. So definitely shoot for an earlier reservation if you’re gonna do the caviar service too. I’d say make the reservation before you even get to Vegas. I made ours, about 5 days out for a Tuesday night, and the options available were late in the evening.

Also, as a side note. There is a dress code. And they’re serious. I saw more than one guy turned away for wearing shorts. I wore a chic black midi-dress with a hint of silver shimmer. And I had on black Chanel sneakers with cut out camellia flowers in the leather and a solid patent toe — we were doing a bit of exploring along with dinner and me having a comfy enough shoe to be able to keep-up was an extra birthday present for Miles! Anyhow it was fine and they didn’t say anything to me about the shoes, but I did have some dress shoes with just in case.

So. Have you been? Plan to visit? What’d you think? Let us know!

Our parting thoughts . . .

If you’re looking for a spectacular dining experience, we cannot recommend PRIME Steakhouse at the Bellagio highly enough! It was one of the best dining experiences of our lives! No joke. And we’ve had some good ones!

Ciao ciao bellas!

😘 Gigi & Miles

Also, a little post script. We were still in Vegas in the summer which we didn’t expect. Not the best snow birding our first time trying it. I was heavily digital nomading, healing, releasing, psychically upgrading, and gridworking in Las Vegas. Plus, on a human level, we were just having a really good time with all the mountains and sunshine! So we stayed an extra season. lol.

Anyhow, Miles loved his birthday so much, he planned the same experience for my birthday in July. And even though it was the “same” it was “different”. The conservatory exhibit changes quarterly. And I love seeing the displays. Plus the Bellagio has an art gallery. And great shopping. There’s def enough to do and see in the Bellagio to make for a unique experience every time!

Ok. Ciao! 😘

Bon Appétit, Las Vegas, Restaurants

Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know “pip pip” mimics the double honk you’d here on a motorcar in the early 20th century? It's an upperclass British coloqualism for farewell.🎩 I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans! And Miles and I visited Highclere Castle — the real life Downton in Yorkshire.📺 It was one of the best days of my life! Full of intention, serenity, gratitude, luxury, playfulness, and beauty.🧚 Pure magic!🪄 Just like life is supposed to be.♥️

I love you! Pip pip. 😘 Gigi

Hello hello! Bonjour beauties! I thought the fir Hello hello! Bonjour beauties! 

I thought the first week of Spring would be a nice time to put up a new little hello & welcome post about us . . . 

I'm Jennifer and together with my husband, Miles, and our furry princess, Miabelle, we’re collectively known as Jet Set Jiles. Jennifer + Miles = Jiles — a nickname we got when we were dating that stuck. 

We consciously create a life filled with beauty at home and on our travels. 

We enjoy practicing the art of living well, and creating daily rituals to thrive & nourish the soul. 

And while we’ve always traveled, entertained, explored, shopped and dined well, since Miles' retirement, we've incorporated “snowbirding" into our repertoire.

Also, we’re Downton Abby super fans. When Miles retired it was the first show we binged. And then we booked tickets to London to go see the place in person! Highclere Castle, where they filmed Downton, is just the perfect day trip! 

We love sharing all of our discoveries, and invite you to come along for the ride. 

😘 Jennifer, Miles, & Miabelle

📸One of the most memorable and best days of my life was when we visited Highclere Castle! I’ll post more on that soon! ♥️

📸We didn’t have Miabelle yet when we visited Highclere. We got her Christmas Eve 2020. Swipe to see her confused but pretty little face right when we brought her home.🐾 

📸 And the last pic is us out for family walk in Old Town. The beautiful spot we call home.♥️

On our first Valentines Day as a couple, we decide On our first Valentines Day as a couple, we decided to keep it low key. After all, there can be lots of pressure around Valentine’s Day! And no new couple needs that!

A movie at my home was the plan. At my Torpedo Factory townhouse (we still had both our townhouses then). Cheese and charcuterie. A fire in the fireplace. Ya know. 

I went to Harris Teeter to buy some pate, brie, and the likes. 

As I was standing in line. I saw beautiful red roses in a basket in the line next to me. And I wondered if Miles was going to give me flowers? He told me early on that he really doesn’t give flowers. So I was prepared for that. 

As I was having my thoughts. I looked up and there he was. My then boyfriend, Miles. And those red roses that I thought were so beautiful were for me! 🌹

I seem to remember too that he was bummed to get caught. But he did think it was rather convenient to send the flowers along with me in my car since I was going straight there with the other stuff. 😂 

I’m so grateful for the flowers. And for the fact that I thought to take a pic. I love remembering this every year! 📸 

Love you so much @milesdejiles thanks for all the flowers and love you’ve given me! 🥰
A Valentine’s poem from the Furry Princess . . . A Valentine’s poem from the Furry Princess . . .
Ten days until Valentine’s Day. And oh how I use Ten days until Valentine’s Day. And oh how I used to dread that day before Miles. 

I just want to remind everyone. I didn’t meet Miles until I was 34ish and Miles was 52ish.

If you have someone you really love to celebrate with: fabulous. If not: celebrate you! And your fur baby, if you have one! 

Don’t give your power away to a day. Hold true to the fact that you are special, divine, and worthy of a magical miraculous love. 

Wait for the one. I promise. It’s with it. 

😘

One year ago. On our two week long, cross country, One year ago. On our two week long, cross country, drive to Las Vegas. We were so ready to just get there. To the bungalow in Summerlin. To settle in. Not unpack and pack up the car again. 

We were gonna push through. Almost there. One more ice tea from McDonalds. I thought. 

I made the wrong turn to get the ice tea. And we ended up in Sedona. 

It is a really beautiful spot. A picture perfect detour. 

And the next day. Before leaving for our final stretch through the desert to Las Vegas, I got my ice tea at the only place where McDonalds Golden Arches are actually turquoise.
