Hi all, been reading the site for some time but never posted. It's helped me out loads and read some great advise. I've got my second trip to Vegas coming up in a few weeks and been reading some trip reports to get in the mood and really enjoying them. Thought i'd post my trip report from May as best I can remember incase anyone enjoys it half as much as I have been enjoying reading others.
My first Vegas trip was arranged for 6 nights in May, during the Hatton V Pacquiao fight which we had tickets for. Traveling was myself, my brother and a friend. We stayed at the Imperial Palace, for the price we paid it was fine but dont think i'd stay there again.
Traveling from London, UK with Continental, happy with the airline but could have done with a direct flight instead of having to connect. Connected at Houston, and during that 3 hour flight to Vegas we wasted no time getting on the jack and cokes. Arrived feeling surprisingly good considering the 15 hours traveling, probably because I was half smashed and finally in Vegas!!
Got to the hotel and got us all upgraded, unpacked, and within half hour we were exploring the strip at about 9pm. We stopped off in several bars, drinking quite a bit and trying to take it all in. At about 2am the long travelling had taken its toll on the other two so we headed back to the hotel to sleep. Once there I got in my room and was buzzing with excitment, and no way wanted to sleep! So decided to go back out to play some poker, the other two dont play so thought it'd be the ideal time to play a few hands while they were being lightweight! I went to O'Sheas and sat at a 2-4 cash game, taking advantage of the free drinks. I was down about $400 at one point but found myself even at about 6am so called it a night and cashed out and hit the sack.
Thursday-
Woke up about 11am and went off to find the other two. Didn't need to call as I bumped into them at the bar downstairs. Grabbed a coffee and went off to MGM to pick up our fight tickets. Got something to eat and carried on exploring the strip drinking along the way. The day was just spent wandering about getting smashed and enjoying every second. Early evening we went back to sort ourselves out as me and my bruv had a reservation at Okada, then we were off to Tao and bottle service. My bruv loves sushi and I hadn't really tried it much before, the restaurant was class but decided sushi wasn't really my thing, I was looking forward to SteakCraft the next night. Met up with Ad who was topping up at a nearby bar, had a drink then headed off to Tao at about 10.30pm. Met Larson outside, got straight in and was given a table in the walkway outside the main club part. Wasn't overly pleased but he apparently couldn't do any better even after I put $100 his way. He said he'd see what he could do later if we still wanted to move so I left it as that. We ordered a bottle of Goose and some mixers and proceeded to get fcuked! During the night we'd done the vodka and ordered a second bottle. We had fun and Ad danced about like a loon! Out of the few clubs we visited though this was my least favourite, just too damn dark and didn't rate the way it was set out much. I cant remember how I got back to the hotel, one minute I was in the club, next I woke up at the hotel the next day.
I'll carry on in a bit on a new post.
