Typhinie
Tourist
Okay this trip was to celebrate my best friends 21st birthday. We had been to Vegas together before but with her fake ID. She never really partied that much because it was a fake ID... so this trip was going to be different because she was finally legal! If you want usefull info about Vegas- you can stop reading here. We pretty much ate buffets and drank all week... if this doesn't interest you- click the red X in the corner of the page..
Anyway we drovefrom LA on Tuesday morning- If you have never driven from Southern California before this is what you see for atleast 4 hours:
pretty boring...
It only too us about 4 hours to get there, stopping twice to use the restroom.
We get to Aladdin and the front entrance to pull in to is under construction. We found our way to the valet and checked in. We got upgraded to a Bellagio fountain view room. The room was about average- but the view was spectacular!!
We decided to start the party!! We walk over to the forum shops braving the cold weather. I am used to LA weather where 60 is freezing-
First stop was Phat Tuesdays for jello shots and frosty strong drinks...
That got us a pretty good buzz for our shopping extravaganza. The bartender gave us free passes to Pure and Tangerine that we didn't end up needing... but it was nice to have her appriciate my 10 dollar tip on a 20 check...
I didn't buy anything because I only brought $400 with me and I didn't want to run out of money. I wanted to see if I won any money before I started shopping... but I have to say drunk shopping is great, even if you don't buy anything.
People seem to always stare at us whereever we went. I don't know why. Maybe we have a different sense of style but I felt like we were on fire because everyone was staring! A lot of people that worked at the shops thought we were locals... I don't know why...
So we traveled to the casino and put a few $$ in some slots. I won like 10 bucks and decided to move on...
My friend was tired so she went back to the room to nap. I decided to wonder around Aladdin gambling and drinking. I was sitting at the Casino bar drinking a martini when my friend calls me. She is in LA andsays she has a feeling about 33.... I say "what time do you want me to bet on it?". 7:42 was the time she gave me. It was like 7:15 so I deicide to check out the roulette tables. I walk around, noticing that 33 just hit on almost every table... except one. I stand there waiting almost a hlf hour telling people that I am waiting until 7:41 to place my bet. So I do eventually when it is time. The dealer said" I have a feeling... any one want to go in on this with her" The whole table clears... I mean no one bet on ANYTHING- not even red or black. I guess I looked like bad luck??? Who knows... but the wheel spun and I was just talking to the dealer... and what do you know... 33 comes up. I was in such shock... I just bet because my friend wanted me to... I was screaming and hugging people around me. I had a ten dollar bet out so I won 350. I had no idea what to say... but I do owe my psychic friend dinner!!!
I go back to the room and attempt to get my drunk ass ready for Pure that night. I didn't do such a bad job... seeing the pictures. We decide we need something to eat so we go to the food court in Ceasars... where some drunk guy kept screaming "Mariah!!!!!" I turned and just waived because everyone seems to think I look like her... His friend comes up to me and asks me if I am Mariah Carey... I look at him... and say "Of course not" I mean I am carrying a piece of pizza and don't have a body guard or anything... he said that that guy really thought I was her and to play it off. So I did... I think I made his night...
After we ate we go to pure as the doors are opening. I ask the door guy which line I should be in and he replys "None, stay right here". He escorts us in past everone who has been waiting. NICE!! I love being a girl...
We step inside and buy our first drink. I got a glass of chamapagne and it was $15!!! DAMN! Good thing that was the only drink I bought that night. We aren't really sure if we are feeling this place. We decide to give it a couple hours before we leave... Imean it is only 11. We meet some boys and the buy as drinks. They are way drunker than we are... so we decide to do the whole "Let's got to the bathroom" thing to ditch them.
Here's a picture of me at Pure on the patio which was amazing:
We go dancing and meet some Cuban guys who are very respectful. They buy us some champagne... and we are wondering why we arent wasted yet. Well, we drank a whole lot to compensate.... and it all hit us at once.
We met some boys that worked at Light and they pointed out a bunch of guys that were at a table that I guess owned Light... they seemed pretty boring. There were no girls or anything at the table... I mean if I owned a nightclub I would be trying to get as much ass as possible...
Somehow we ended up in the table section of Pure. We didn't know anybody but quickly met these boys that were from New York and the fed us some Vodka... I was dancing having the time of our life. One guy asked to go home with meout of nowhere. I said "I'm not really like that, but Thank you". He bagan to argue with me saying "You are thinking too much" So I replied, "you might not aprieciate girls that think right now, but one day you'll want a girl that thinks". I mean, I may look like I am ditzy and easy- but COME ON!! I didn't know thinking was a negative thing. I get a bad vibe and get my wasted friend and tell her we are leaving.
We start to leave and some guy that works there flags us down and asks us if we like English boys. We say yes- we LOVE accents and he takes us to a table where there are a group of Englishmen. They pour us drinks- as if we need it. These boys were not attractive at all, but we had a pretty good conversation. My girl was looking WASTED so I decide tobe a good friend and tell her we are going home.
Heres a pic of us in the casino:
Then all of a suden we see like 6 security guys chasing after someone. My drunk friend decides to chase them so I have to chase her. Heres a picture of us chasing them... Its kind of ironic because thi is EXACTLY how I remember it.... its so blurry. Most pictures come out clearer...
We finally catch up to them and I guess they were 86ing someone, but they liked us
So- here comes the drunken cab ride!! Where we took this:
It is all about the drunken self portrait.
We somehow stumble out of the cab, laughing histerically when a bell boy helps us inside. We couldn't stop laughing. Here is our angel bellboy:
We went back toour room after more laughing and drunk dialing our friends. My friend is so drunk she can't even get dressed. So, being her best friend, I dressed her and we went to sleep- at like 6 am
Day 2 coming soon...
