I really wanted to write a TR earlier, but I have been sooooooooo busy, I got back to work on Monday morning to them telling me that I have to fire a girl and hire someone else by week’s end, ugh. Then it was my birthday, so I had to celebrate and then my grandma came from Mexico, so I’ve been spending time with her, but now all is well and I’m back on track so here it goes…
June 21-June 26
The crew:
Lauren (flew in from Reno)
Brittany (flew in from San Luis Obispo)
Me (fresno)
Raquel (fresno)
Sara (fresno)
Cari (fresno)
Holly (fresno)
Let me give you some background before I get started…
I was sitting in the airport on Tues night still nursing my hangover from the Kenny Chesney concert (the 21st) and I get a text message from Holly. It says “I’m in†I almost fell out of my chair, I immediately call her and tell her not to “f†with me and that I wasn’t in the mood for her antics. The reason why I was so overwhelmed with her news that she was going to attend the week’s festivities was because she hasn’t gone to Vegas with me in about 2 years. Ever since she got the BF that nobody likes, you know the one that doesn’t let her do anything and makes her feel guilty for going out and actually having a good time without him-yeah that boyfriend. Well since he is in Iowa playing baseball and she wanted to go with her best gal pals for some fun and sun in Sin City, she told him “look I know you don’t want me to go, but too damn bad, I’m already here!†I can not describe to you all how elated I was that she ended up going…
So back to the TR… I left June 21st, on time and ready for a party, but I got the most boring plane full of people, the guy that was sitting next to me kept trying to hit on me-ugh-not a chance buddy. The flight was quiet and uneventful, land on time and in no time I’m in Bill’s (Vegas host) car and we’re on our way. I crash at his place that night (everyone get your minds out of the gutter-nothing happened!!!) we were both really tired so we called it an early night.
Wednesday June 22nd: Check In Day
I checked into Ballys on Wed morning room 1439 North Tower, the room was great, and we also had a pretty decent view of the Bellagio Fountains. The girls (Holly, Cari and Raquel) were not driving in until about 2AM so I had a little me time. I took a nap and ate, then I did some shopping. I went to the Forum Shops and while I was there I met this nice young man who approached me and we started talking, he ended up being from Vegas, well I gave him my number (he was quite a dashing lad) and talked with him for a while longer. I returned to my room and told him to call me in the evening., he did so I met him and his friends at TI so that we could go to Tangerine. I needed to kill some time until the girls got there, and I figured I might as well hang out with a cute boy!! The girls rang around 2 AM and told me that they were in the room, so I told my new friends goodnight and cabbed it back to Ballys. My new friend really impressed me he walked me to the cab line, waited with me until I got a cab and even offered to pay (of course I politely declined). It was just refreshing that a young guy actually had manners, most guys would have said “alright -see ya†when they realized they weren’t getting any booty. The girls were in the room and they were tired and by this time I was nice and buzzed, actually I was pretty buzzed. We walked to Paris so they could get a drink, but they were all pretty sleepy ( That’s what a 6 hour drive will do to you) so we crashed around 4.
Thursday June 23rd Britt and Lauren Arrive
Holly, Cari and I got up at 8:30AM to go and pick Britt up from the airport. She got in around 9:15AM, needless to say we were late and she was waiting for us in the passenger pick up. We went and got something to eat and went straight to the pool. Lauren phoned to let us know that her flight was over an hour late. We sunned for about an hour and then took a nap, Cari and Britt stayed by the pool and Lauren finally showed around 1PM. We all got ready and ate at Margaritaville, I love this place, Cari is a huge Jimmy Buffet fan, so this place is a must for her. We had about 3 or 4 drinks each and ate, it was so great to be with all the girls again! We went shopping at the Forum and at Desert Passage. We headed back to the room to freshen up for the night out. Lauren is a news producer for an NBC affiliate in Reno and she works from 11PM to 9AM, so she was pretty beat, she called it a night around 9PM, Britt did the same, they retreated to their room and we didn’t see them until the next day. The rest of us decided that we’re going to start out at Risque and then end up at VooDoo. This is the best part of my whole trip…I decide to go downstairs to Paris to get passes to Risque, nobody wants to come with, so I leave. I get in the elevator and I look down and I see a redemption ticket. I look at how much it is and it says $212.00!!! I was so excited, I picked that bad boy up and slipped it in my wallet, cashed it out and I was on my merry way! I felt bad for the person that lost it, but you know what they say, “finder’s keepers…â€.
Anyhoo, we went to Risque and it sucked!!! I bought a round of shots and drinks for the girls, because I found the ticket. (I’m such a nice person) We left after the drinks and cabbed it to the VooDoo Lounge, my favorite place!!! There wasn’t a line so we were in within a couple of minutes. We immediately bought a witch doctor, yummy. These guys kept sending drinks overt to our table so finally, we go over and talk to them, they were somewhat attractive, so we hung out for a while. We went outside after that so that we could dance. Holly finds these cute boys from Vancouver and we start talking with them, I’m dancing with one of their friends from Seattle and I turn around and run smack into my friend Eunique-remember the girl I went to Vegas with for Memorial Day weekend!!! She had been trying to call me, but, of course, I didn’t hear my phone! She came over Thursday instead of Friday. The night gets pretty fuzzy after that, I vaguely remember making out with Holly and Cari. I then realize that Raquel is no where to be found. I go inside and there is a security guard telling her that she can not sleep on the tables, she looks at him and tells him that she is not sleeping, she is resting her head!!! Holly and I took her to the bathroom and held back her hair while she puked. I quickly said bye to Eunique and Melissa exchanged numbers with the Seattle boy and cabbed it back to Ballys, threw Raquel in the room with a trash can next to her bed and went to the BC to eat. Holly says we crashed around 5 or so??
More to come…
