Sent to my home is a beautiful glowing invitation sent by E! Entertainment for E! Blogger's Ball 2017. Just like every social media influencer who received that spectacular form of acknowledgment in the industry, I got all tingly with glee. How fortunate was I that they E! now included Food and Travel social media influencers in addition to Fashion.
After an hour, the doors to the City of Dreams Grand Ballroom was ready to accommodate its guests. Contrasting the dominant black theme, vivid and colorful neon lights flashed exuding liveliness to the spacious room. At the front center of the room is a well-lit stage with a huge LCD screen. Well equipped with side LCD screens, the stage scenes can be seen from the farthest part of the room.
We were ushered to the long tables with complete dining wares. And, hospitality fit for royalty was extended to us as servers gently pulled the chairs for us to sit and table napkins were gracefully placed on our laps.
Laid on the table was the menu for the night along with a bread basket to curb the churning bellies.
