live it up
Enjoy yourself extravagantly
To live it up is to enjoy oneself freely and extravagantly, often by spending money, partying, or indulging in pleasures without restraint: We lived it up in Vegas for the weekend.
The phrase implies making the most of an occasion, sometimes with a sense that normal responsibilities are temporarily suspended.
