The Vintage Inn Travels to Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend 18

categories: personal, Rockabilly, travel

Hi everyone, I have been so busy getting ready for my upcoming trip to the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend in Vegas that I have not had time for a full Vintage Inn post this week. Sorry friends! However if you want to follow my trip starting Wednesday (April 1st), I will be posting regularly on my Instagram page (the pictures can be seen on the right hand bar if you don’t have Instagram). Then when I get back I will be doing a full review of the weekend.

Also for the first time ever on The Vintage Inn Blog, I will be bringing you GOOD PHOTOS! I bought a nice camera a couple of weeks ago and I’m excited to use it during the weekend and even more excited to not torture my readers with my iPhone photos (they will appear once in a while but not as much as they have in the past).

So friends, enjoy your Easter weekend, eat lots of chocolate and enjoy time with friends and family. And to my readers that will be in Vegas, please come and say Hi!

Dreaming of Viva Las Vegas

categories: Rockabilly, travel

In just a few short weeks (like a week and half to be exact) I will be leaving still cold Toronto for the warmth of Las Vegas for the “Viva Rockabilly Weekender“! I’m so excited! I have started my “what to bring list, wear list, bands too see list” etc. etc. etc. and I’m currently in the process of driving my husband nuts with non stop talk of all the fun we are going to have 🙂 I really can’t wait to go.

So in the spirit of the fun that is about to happen, I wanted to share some of the highlights from last years VIVA adventure with you. So grab your viva souvenir glass and let’s go!

My husband and I meeting the head chef at Gordon Ramsey’s English pub on our first day in Vegas.

We are here!

All the gang is together and already the shenanigans have started 🙂

Finally learned how to stroll last year so there I am in the middle of the action.

At the car show, in front of my dream car.

Got to meet one of my favourite vintage ladies “Amanda Lee of The call of the Jitterbugdoll“.

Pool time with my ladies!

Meeting new friends, who we get to see again this year!

Checking out one of our favourite Toronto bands that played-Tennessee Voodoo Coupe.

My husband being silly with this gorgeous ladies hat, that she made herself!

Looking good ladies!

Ultimate photobomb lol!

This is late late night fun on Sunday. I think we have lost it by now lol!

After Viva finished a few friends stayed for a few extra days so we hit up old school Vegas-Fremont St. Here we are doing our best James Bond pose 🙂

Lol you can fill in the blank 🙂

Then we won a million dollars!! I wish :p

Then we thought it was a good idea to weigh ourselves. I contributed 20 lbs to that number lol!

Toronto beer festival

This year we are adding an edition to our group and I’m so excited! My friend Steph is coming too!!

Excited faces looking forward to this year!

Are you going to VIVA? Looking forward to it too? If you see me, please say hi! Would love to meet you 🙂

OH P.S. If you are going and want to see an amazing Toronto band then check out at 1pm on Sunday the “Millwinders” in the Bienville room! You seriously will not be disappointed.
