We arrived in DC around 4:00 PM, just in time to check into our room at The Westin Washington D.C. Downtown. The hotel has an elegant and inviting lobby, complete with on-site dining, a Starbucks, and a delightful staff ready to welcome you. We enjoyed a spacious Superior 1 Bedroom Suite, which had a separate seating area with a couch, chair, and its own television. The private bedroom featured linens that invited you in with their soft and fluffy appearance, leading to a perfect blend of firmness and pillow-soft mattress with covers that you could get lost in.
After a quick shower, it was off to dinner at a local sushi spot, Absolute Noodle & Sushi. It was about a 10-minute walk from the Westin. The sushi did not disappoint, and neither did the retro eclectic décor. It’s a small place where you are greeted by the owner and operator and thanked for your patronage on the way out. The personal touch made the experience even more special.
After dinner, it was about a 4-minute walk to Capital One Arena. The anticipation was building as we joined the crowd of excited fans. The show started promptly at 8:00 PM, and the crowd went wild for Nelly’s Club Derrty. Nelly had the room in their feels, dancing and singing for 40 minutes while he entertained us with hits from his expansive catalog of music spanning the past two and a half decades. The energy was electric, and it was impossible not to dance along.
