What a fu--ing trip! I am so screwed up here at home today that it is not funny. Typing this out is making my brain actually hurt. I will do a day by day rundown of what we did. We met some fantastic people from Toronto, Israel, Australia, New Zealand and of course California.
I will include a flickr link for each day. The players are me (guy with the goatie), my lovely wife (blonde), sister in law (dark hair), boyfriend/fiancee (dark spiked hair).
7/30
Arrived at the airport about an hour and a half early so we decided to have a bite and a few drinks. We went to TGIF at Detroit Metro which was very good. We had a nice quick dinner and about 2 long islands each. We head to our gate and our flight is delayed by one hour
I knew this would screw things up and I was right. So we then head on down to Champps bar and grille and proceed to consume 4 lemon drop shots each. At this point we are feeling more than good. A great way to start the trip off. Our flight takes off at 930 and we arrive in Vegas at 1030. I had a table at tryst through Patrick Frank. I texted him at let him know the situation he said if we could make it there by 1130 I would be ok.
We pick up our bags and head off to the limo. Check in to our 2 bedroom penthouse suite at the mirage which I thought was very nice. The room did need some updating and so did the furniture but overall a great suite for partying. By this time its past 1130 and Patrick texts me and says that the club is saturated and all the table are gone. He said to come by and that he would try to hook me up. By the time my sister in law gets ready it is now 1230. She was driving me nuts. Our buddy David came by the suite and off we went to Tryst.
The line is a total cluster fuc-. I text Patrick and he promtly calls me back. He apologizes that the tables are gone but I told him that I understand. I give him a hundie and he lets us all in including 2 more of Davids friends. He says that if a table opens up that he would give me a text. We hang out in the club for about 45 minutes. NO where to move, no where to hang. Honestly, not having a table sucks. So we proceed to walk by some of the tables and it was like a miracle from God some guys looks at us and says hey do u want to bye my table for $40. I said hell ya! He wanted the money right away but I told him that I would have to clear it with the waitress. The waitress says it was ok and the transaction was consumated. The best $40 that I spent. We were having an awesome time dancing mingling etc... Met some people from New Zealand, our table was next to Floyd Merriweather and met some crazy dancing girl from Cali. We also had a birthday cake for my birthday and my SILs. We shut the place down and go back to the suite. The plan is to go to Drais.
We get back to the suite to have a couple more drinks. The crazy dancing girl was with us???? My wife is totally inebriated at this point and wants to go to drais but physically is not capable. So we leave my wife in bed and we head out to drais. It must be about 6am at this point. I get a table with a bottle. Unfortunately the place is absolutely dead. A total bummer because I had wanted to got here for some time. Buying the bottle was a total waste. I had one or two drinks and I tell my SILs BF that I am leaving in order to take advantage of my wifes drunken stupor. I walk back to the Mirage at about 730am. Talk about feeling like a looser. In all a great start to the trip.
