Ok well I want to preface my TR by stating that it really seems that Vegas becomes more and more of a HUGE hassle each and every time I go. It may just simply be due to the fact that I am becoming an old man, OR the fact that we were rolling deep, and no one was able to be where they were supposed to when they were supposed to be BUT we def made the best of it all and had an awesome time. I also must advise everyone that Jack is one of the most gracious hosts Ive ever been around….he really made a point of walking around to talk to everyone I was with and constantly kept tabs on everyone to make sure they didn’t have problems getting back into the section where his table was.
The players include: Me, Trunks, 2 of my cousins, one of their husbands and 6 of their friends.
I fly in from NYC on Friday landing at around 1pm. I get picked up from the airport and Im off to the Venetian, where I have stayed in the past but let me tell you that smell that someone has mentioned on here is just simply overbearing and quite annoying. At checkin I contemplated the $20 trick, but decided against it because Venetian is an all suite hotel….but boy was I disappointed I didn’t do it, my view consisted of a stucco wall approx 15 feet from my window, which also made the room a little dark and dreary as well, but hell Im in vegas!!! After unpacking and freshening up I take a peek at the clock and realize there’s no way Im making it to Ditch as it is 2:30, I haven’t eaten anything and have to meet Trunks at the Orleans at round 5 so I texted cash advising him that I wasn’t making it to ditch and that Id see hime later that night as I proceed to walk next door to the palazzo and find sushisamba and settle for a nice plate of sushi, and several glasses of water to hydrate myself a little. After eating I decide to head down to the pool at the Venetian to catch some rays and finally grab my long awaited adult beverage! The pool was a complete madhouse I had to roam for a little to find a chair, but ultimately found one. As I was hanging by the pool I texted everyone reminding them about the happy hour at Vbar. At about 430 I go catch a cab over to the Orleans, meet up with Trunks just before the weigh in, and he tells me that his phone is dead so the only way to egt in touch with him is by calling his room, which sucks for him cause hes gotta be in the room in order to catch my call, and the dead phone thing becomes the ultratrend over the course of the weekend. After 2 or 3 drinks I hop a cab back to venetian just in time to hit Vbar.
The Vbar get together: I roll into Vbar at about 10 to 7 and im the only dude in the joint. After about 10 minutes or so, ATL vegas addict comes in with a yinzer from the burgh, both really good guys then the crew starts showing up and I quickly start losing track of time and people, the alcohol is flowing my cousins and their friends still haven’t shown up. Audrieu and his wife make an apprearance and I def give them props, they had been out there at that point for 4 or 5 nights, partying like animals and they came in a hit the bottle. Cash swings in at which point I tell him that if there are not 11 guys with him, hes not welcome later on his bro (beans) would show up with some more of the crew as well. Dutchryan and his GF or wife (not sure) made an appearance carrying a bottle of rum from the carribean (thanks ryan) which was an awesome little token and they were just awesome peeps I ended up hanging with them later on in the trip as wellTrunks, Blighty and I know im forgetting others (just cant think of who) showed up too and we all had a great time, lots a laughs, game plans etc. as 10pm starts approaching I shoot a text to my host at LAX to take advantage of the “free bottle” which quickly imploded by the response from the host, at which point I decide against battling to get into a place that I really don’t want to hang out in. I step outside if Vbar for maybe 5 minutes to talk to my cousin who was supposed to meet me at 7-8 and when I return I find Trunks and Blighty standing there and everyone else in GONE!!!! So I look at the boys and ask them where they want to go and we settle on Tao since were in the building, So I shoot Larson a text and tell him im heading over he says no prob, ill let them know youre coming over and tells me that hes at Lavo. Now I have 8 people meeting up with me and since hes not at tao I really don’t want to chance it as we revert course and head to Lavo. I have never been to Lavo and figure ill go see whats going on over there, Larson is right in front waiting for us, I tell him that there are 8 more coming in bout 30 min, he says no prob. Lavo is interesting, I wasn’t overly impressed BUT I was actually expecting worse. I would never get a table there as it appeared that this was not their strong suit, but Id def go back to chill. Me trunks and blighty are hanging when my cousin shows up……..and of course theres always one, one of her friends doesn’t have her F$%^&* id!!! Are you kidding me???? Who the F goes to vegas and doesn’t bring ID??? But this is seriously the 3rd time this has happened, but I go out and apologize to Larson for putting him in this predictament, but the girl is 30 years old we get satisfactory ID and Larson lets us slide through. I really wish I would have seen everything through the eyes of Trunks who is dead sober drinking water because of the big fight, because Blighty is a complete mad man, a great guy that can seriously party and get along with everyone at this point hes been up for about 35 hours or something, my friends laugh hysterical when they think of him bouncing around the joint……it was a great time, at about 1230 or 1 trunks heads out, and by about 3am im crashing hard, its 6am NY time and its been a full 24 hrs so I bolt leaving blight behind with my crew. TO BE CONTINUED………
