Brown like a hot cake!
So I just came back from Vegas with some girlfriends, and boy, did I have the time of my life! This was hands down the best Vegas trip I have ever had! Having two girls with me celebrating their birthdays didn't hurt either! Viva Las Vegas!!
This wasn't any ordinary visit to Vegas though. 5 girls, 5 nights, all the possibilites! The first night there, we landed at 42 degrees AT NIGHT! Couldn't really tell how hot it really was since it was windy as hell. One downside was that we landed in the older part of the airport which was kinda old and dingy and not fabulous like the newer part I was accustomed to. I can't really remember what we did the first night, but I'm sure it consisted of a lot of walking. However, I do remembering sleeping a little earlier than expected. I remember thinking to myself, if there was one night I would be sleeping...it would be the first.
Yes, now that I think about it, we did sleep early because K and I had been up a whole 24 hours prior being at a party the night before and having only 3 hours sleep after having to start packing the day we left.
The second day I anxiously hit the pool area at about 9am. We layed in the heat until the sun finally showed up at about 10:30am. Not a total loss of time since we ate breakfast at poolside in the meantime. (A tip: ordering breakfast by the pool was way cheaper than ordering breakfast in a restaurant. $8 for eggs, toast, meat, and homefries as opposed to some $12-15 at a restaurant).
4 of us stayed by the pool for about 4-5 hours waiting for K who apparently was really tired and slept in. This day was when I got a starter tan: a tan that fades to prep for a better color the next time. At night time, Diva and I were really tired and decided to go to the room for a nap. LOL! We napped for about 2-3 hours while the other girls went for a stroll in a sandstorm (insert "sandstorm" by Darude here). When they came back, L and K decided to nap while Diva continued her slumber. I woke up not wanting to waste another minute in bed. Plus there was a massive thunder and lightning storm going on. It sounded like the Caesars Palace freebie show. DJ and I decided to go search for some grub. There's something about walking in warm rain that's just so sexy. Made me want to wear a thin white t-shirt and stick my chest out and spin like Jennifer Love-Hewitt in "I know what you did last summer". We finally ended up at Chipotle which is like a fast food mexican joint. Sort of like Red Burrito here in Vancouver. We took it back to the room and woke up the other bitches. We then strolled some more towards Venetian to check if their 24-hour hot tub was accessible to anyone. I was able to score a bite of DJ's delicious burrito. Man was it tasty!
Next morning came and after learning my lesson, I didn't head down to the pool until about 10am. It was great timing because sun was just coming out. This time all five of us were there working our tans all in a row like a cheesy 1980's Hawaiian Tropics commercial. We met up with Nick (correct me if the name's wrong, I totally had a brain fart!), a 17-year old self-proclaimed talent agent represent-in the likes of Lindsay Lohan. Eventhough he was as full of shit as a horse in a 3 hr Christmas parade, he was a blast to hang around and we looked forward to seeing him daily. Hi fives for "eh's" and "mochas". After the pool, we strolled next door to the Aladdin to look for some late lunch. After a long brainless debate on which is better: a 2 for 1, or a 3 for 1, we got to this place called Max's or something like that. This is totally the best place to go on your Vegas visit! You choose 3 drinks and only pay $10.95. And don't mistaken these for the watered down crap you'd expect at Moxie's. They were 4-5 generous shots of alcohol each. Delicious and yummy, we each had 3 plus some freebies thrown our way by our server/bartender. Drunk and purple-lipped, we walked around some more before goin back to get ready to dance!
With a good buzz going on, we decided to go attempt to get into Pure nightclub. For those of you who don't know, Pure is one of the most sought after places to be. It's home to DJ AM. We got there around 11pm and the lineup was just insane! Then a bouncer came up to us and asked if we wanted "a bottle" cuz it was the last one. Not down wit the lingo yet, we looked at each other then we finally asked what it was. Basically, you buy a bottle and it comes with your very own VIP room. Sounds good right? The going rate for a bottle was $375!! I almost choked on my own spit when I heard that. He kinda convinced us by telling us cover was $30 each anyway, and if we got enough people, the room would pay for itself. Thank god the other 2 girls came back in time from checking the front because we were about to go for the bait.
Not only did we not have to wait in line (which probably would have been about 2 hours), we didn't have to pay cover and were treated like hot bitches!
Pure nightclub was nothing I've ever experienced. It's too long to write about, so if you want details, just ask. Highlights included: yuckster from Alberta, Nick Carter, dry hump line, $7 water and for K, Big Blue. Oh, and the best one was, "mmmm...god bless you and yo mama too". Got back to the room at about 6am after having the best Cobb salad ever.
Next day, got to the pool at about 10:30am with no sun in sight. It was overcast and pretty breezy, but still warm enough to hop in and get some slight color. We were graced by a guy and girl recruiting ladies for OPM nightclub that night. I felt so wanted!! After a little Blackberry action, they left with our names on the guestlist! We stayed at the pool for another few hours before heading up and out. Walked around Aladdin again and visited the Palms hotel to see if we Diva could get a tatoo from Hart & Huntington and possibly be on tv! Heading back to the hotel, we were looking forward to getting some drinks in us. We got to OPM at about 11:40pm with 20 minutes to spare for some free champagne. I guess we should have taken a clue when there was basically no lineup. At least we didn't wait in line, we each got a rose stem, and all the champagne we could down in 15 minutes. Again, won't go into details, but it wasn't much fun and we left shortly after 12:30am after the Ying Yang Twins crunked my ass and wanted some girl on girl action. We left the sad ass party and headed down to Treasure Island Tangerine where the real party was. We again attempted to do the no lineup. We almost didn't make it, but with some charm and a few "it's my birthday!" later, we got in after waiting only a few minutes. I remember Tangerine from my last visit last year, but I had much more fun this time around. Most amazing thing of the night was K searching for Big Blue in hopes he would be there...and he was!!! Highlight of the night was being invited into the main VIP room were Grey Goose flowed like tap water. Let's just say it wasn't my shining moment, but I still love the stuff straight up. Thanks to K for putting me to bed and helping my limp-self take off my shoes. You rock! I had a good night's rest while the other girls had some breakfast and got a glimpse of a real sausage.
The next day, I was so hung over, I felt like shit. Not enough to hold me back from yummy buffet before take-off back home.
I had a blast with my bitches and wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Loves ya. Almost forgot about how Diva got her Merlin hat. LOL!! Thanks for that memory, Diva!!!
Unfortunately our trip came to an end without any daily journal or isolated video confessions. I'm so disappointed, but at least I have the memories forever in my head. Thanks for the awesome trip girls.
Got some nice color thanks to the many many hours each day at the pool. Time to keep workin it.
