I am a 3.5-4 hour drive away from Vegas so I have the luxury to visit a few times every year. Whenever I'm in town, it is absolutely essential for my trip that I get a Fat Tuesday... at least twice! During the rest of the year, I daydream of the day for me to reunite with my truest love once more.
For anyone who isn't familiar with what a Fat Tuesday is... In the simplest explanation, it is an alcoholic slurpee/icee. Walking up and down the strip with my Fat Tuesday combines my childhood wonders while empowering my freedoms as an adult. Ohh how it inspires the passion in me.
My favorite size is their Yard Dog ($15/new, $12/refills). This delightful 36 oz. of happiness is a good size because (1) it isn't too heavy to carry, (2) it looks good in pictures and (3) it doesn't melt away before I finish it.
My favorite flavor of ALL TIMES is the BELLINI!!! Bellini Bellini Bellini!! But sometimes I like to mix 1/3 of my yard dog with either the Strawberry or the Cat 5 Hurricane since peach goes really well with either strawberry or fruit punch flavors.
You can add a shot to your lovely Fat Tuesday for just $1. In the past I've gotten up to 5 shots of 151 but I learned that it would melt away my drink too fast, so my solution to this is to take all of shots right away to save my glorious bellini from melting away before its' time.
And so to my Fat Tuesday, as Shakespeare wholeheartedly expressed, "All days are nights to see till I see thee, And nights bright days when dreams so show thee me."
