LDW TR: The Grande royale partying w/ JC Peeps

[Cisco419]

ooops my bad... I heard it does take a few days to fully flush that alcohol out of your system I m pretty sure at one point or another i had more alcohol in my blood stream then h2o.

Didnt you say you only had 1 drink at Tryst?!?

Im telling you, the next time im in Vegas i making a strict specification on the people who go with me. I mean i had a great time and all at Wasted Space, but Tryst is one of my favorite clubs and i would have loved to have been there with you guys, but my guys were too cheap to pay. Big standards coming next trip.

Well next time I'm just going to tell them, here's what I have planned.... if you wanna join then this is what you have to do

Didnt you say you only had 1 drink at Tryst?!?

Yup! That was at Tryst, but just like any good man .. I over compensated the next day at Wet by having 5 super sized cups

[P-tr-ck]

haha Ellejay told me they were covered nothing but petals and its so true. From the looks of it, they make sure the nipps are covered with a big petal with glue and couple others surrounding the boobs. These girls did have over sized D-bags though so it took quite a few petals to cover them.

I wanted to have a bath at tzao but theya wrent really into it

Day 3 - Migration to MGM, Food finally (part 1)

After getting back from the Morillo concert early and at a decent time, I was able to wake up early and get myself back to a fresh start. I think this was the first time on my trip where I did sleep more then 5 hours. I slept 5 and half hours.

I got up early with the GF and thought it would be a great idea if we check in to our second hotel the MGM a bit early. I heard great things about the all-day buffet and we got a special on it. We ended up doing our 20 minute trek through the hallways of MGM again, but this time around it wasn't as painful because we were both very sober and well rested. I checked in with some smoothness, and there was no sandwiching attempt what so ever. Its my last night.. who really cares if my view is of some Stucco.

We took advantage of our deals immediately by going to the buffet. This was really our first meal since..... breakfast the day before! So this breakfast we are going to try to make the most of it. GF still had a few side effects from the meds, so she hit up the salad bar. I went straight for the omelets and these cheese square things that melted in your mouth. I grabed a few more plates of eggs, roast beef and brownies. Whata complete breakfast.

After getting our stomach filled with food instead of alcoholic beverages, we made our walk back to the Signatures for the pack and check out. Ideally I was planning on leaving this morning, but I extended my vacation the last minute when I saw this deal on Wet Republic. I kind of assumed that I was going to get hook ups, and it would be a shame to not go to Wet since thats our favorite place.

<Fast Forward to 1pm>
We are checked in at MGM and have our room all setup. I call KC and he doesn't answer. He calls me back about 20 minutes later and says hes way too trashed. He went to after hours with Nassau after Tao, and it was just off the hook. I told him to rest up and if he changes his mind to let us know. I called Dnix to see how hes been... he picks up the phone and I can barely recognize his voice. He sounded all tired.. I asked him if I called at a bad time. Hes like, "No man.. just waking up..." I asked if he was down for Wet and he told me he first needed to have a meal. Hes been exhausted from a rough night at XS. Come to think of I did miss a call from Dnix the night before and there was some loud music in the background..that must of been from XS.. .oops! So I tell Dnix to rest up and call me if he makes it down to the MGM pool.

Day 3 - The Fight at Wet Republic

2pm finally rolls around and the GF and I thought it was time to get some fun in the sun. We make our walk down through the MGM casinos and out to the MGM pool. We look around and it was moms, kids running around and screaming and more moms chasing after them. At the back of my mind, I thought I heard some bumping bass coming out of the backside of the MGM pool. I look at GF direction and we both agree that we need a change of scenery and we are going back to Wet.

Checkin into Wet today wasn't VIP styles like it was the day before. We actually had to stand in line. But the good news is that after 3 lines, it didn't take longer then 20 minutes which was very reasonable. I also charged the $150 cover back to my room, and it was completely comped by the hotel. Atleast I can say I got into Wet free by myself.. Dnix u gotta give me that haha

So we got in and today it was obvious that most of the wild and crazy LDW partiers have gone home. There were still people left, but it was just not as packed as the day before. We find a spot in the 2nd pool which we chilled at last time, and had a great time.

I set our stuff down and the GF needed to go to the restroom. I was sitting by the pool side waiting for her and within a minute, 2 drunk ladies swooped in and introduced themselves to me. I introduced myself and they smiled.. I noticed that one of them had some serious freckles while the other... lets say should've kept the shades on. They asked, "Why aren't you getting in the pool? Are you afraid of getting Wet? he he he he" I thought this was a great opportune moment to drop the bomb and end all this. " Oh I m waiting for my girlfriend to get back from the rest room. We will get in later.. " Finally for the next minute there was a nice silence for me to listen to music that was bumping at Wet.

GF gets back and the 2 drunken girls shake her hand. One of them whispered something into the GFs ear. BTW my gf never told me what they said.. but she had a smile on her face. I can guess it was something close to this " You have a P-whipped BF, but he seems to be a keeper" Either ways.. whatever, its LDW and all.. I m just there to have a great time. Now it was my turn to head to the restroom and bring back a drink.

I go to the bar and I managed to track down Dnix's boy and bought a drink from him. GF didn't want any so I ordered one drink with ice water. But I made sure it was a 100% tip on top of the drink because he really took care of us. Heres time for another Vegas tip. When you are tipping in Vegas.. make sure you take care of the source thats actually taking care of you! It leaves a more lasting impression. There are too many middle men out there that are just going to hussle the other person's tips.

I grab the drinks and I head back to the pool and found the GF. She had a disturbed look on her face.. I asked what was wrong. "That guy over there wanted to throw me in the pool..so I slapped him.." Wow.. these things happen, but I m glad she can defend herself. I looked over and it was a group of hispanic males.. none of them seem to be speaking english, so they might not be from around here. Or they could be just from East-LA. So I thought it would be good idea if we scoot over to the corner of the pool and just be out of these douchebags way.

We get into the water and the gf wanted to take a pics of me. She took the camera out and was about to take the picture and then she turned around quickly. *splash* The big tubby one in the douche bag group did a cannon ball. I look over and he was tipsy as f*ck. He was bringing his bottle of Kettle one into the pool and just pouring it in the water. I was like WTF.. this is getting lame. Lets just leave this area completely.

We gathered our stuff and migrated to the other side of the pool. We feel much safer on this side just being out of the way of the douche bags. It was getting to be about 6pm and the air was getting cooler. Vegas as a whole was cooling down. Its a sign that the end of pool parties are coming soon.
This was about the sametime Deadmau5 took the stage and took control of the crowd with his music.

Heres some footage and a pic of Deadmau5:

As we were enjoying the music, there was some other drama going on. On the douchebag's side of the pool, one of the guys decided it was a good idea to dump some random girl at the chair next to them in the pool. They both go into the water. The girl gets up and punches him square in the fore head. The guy gets back up and gets very irritated and I guess he started mouthing off to the girl. They both get out of the water and a shouting match ensued. The soaked girl's bf steps in and starts talking to the tubby guy (who did a cannon ball next to us earlier) whos a friend of the douche that dumped the girl into the water.

They both get in each other's faces and both were in a stare down. The kicker is that the boyfriend was a big yoked guy and the other dude was a short tubby douche. I would love to see him get worked in this fight. No punches were thrown, the Wet Republic security guys step in to seperate the two. The drama only starts to get better.

The security was able to restrain the tubby one, but for some reason he just wouldn't stop yelling. I m not sure in what language if the guards don't understand spanish. He was trying to defend his friend that he was playing around by dumping some random girl into the water. I don't really call that playing around myself. The tubby guy and his friend both side by side were yelling at the security and his friend got accidently pushed into the pool and he falls in. This draws a cheer from the entire section of our pool.

The tubby guy just wouldn't quit talking and the security guards were ready to escort him out of the place. As he was getting walked out he grabs an innocent bystanders top and pulls it off. Boobs just come flying out and the girl is totally embarassed. At that point he went out of line. The police came in quickly and tackled him to the daybed. As they were cuffing him up, the tubby guy's gf started to hit the police on the back, and she gets tackled to the day bed as well. We can only expect this to get better. The friend that started the entire fight jumps in and tries to rescue his friends, but gets pushed aside by a bigger pool boy working at Wet. He then tries to kick the pool boy, and just as he was kicking, the pool boy made this sweet move where he dodged the kick, and took other the dudes other leg out at the sametime. The guy falls down and he was able pin both his arms and legs down and restraint him.

All in all, there were 3 arrests made! We didn't get to see Deadmau5 like we wanted to, but we sure made up for all the fights we missed in Vegas. Dammmmn I should've put a bet that we this coming. Whenever you guys see douches at the pool, stay cool and just walk away. Its never worth it to ruin your vacation or your permanent record over

(more to come at XS later..)

Misc Review - Panda Express on the Strip

Panda Express

Categories: Fast Food, Chinese
2 star rating
9/12/2009
Going to Vegas, the last place I would be expecting to dine at would be the Panda Express in some random shopping center off the strip. I hardly ever walk to anywhere, but since I had to walk this instance after doing a lot of drinking, I had to get a bite to eat at this Panda Express.

You can walk to this Panda from MGM, and it would take you no more then 15 minutes. The things I would probably look out for on the way there are the porn handlers, and drunk dudes that like to get frisky.

Once you get to this location, its almost impossible to find seating. Since there are multiple fast food joints at this food court, all of the tables are almost always taken. An indian family was nice enough to let us take a corner of their table to dine.

As far as service goes.. there is no service at this Panda. Imagine having to deal with strip traffic day and night. All of the people working there resort to being your high school lunch lady. Rice or Chow Mein? *slaps one scoop on your plate and keep on moving*

They won't even let you pay ahead of someone that was dining in. I ordered my order to go and about 99% of the time at other Panda Expresses, they would let me pay right away. Nope, not at this one. They need to make sure you get the full high school cafeteria experience.

Come here if you don't have a car, hurting for food..and this is a last resort. Otherwise there are plenty of better Pandas, or other options out there.

Review - The MGM Grand Buffet

MGM Grand Buffet

Category: Buffets
2 star rating

My last memories of the MGM Buffet was maybe 2 or 3 years ago before they started doing this "all-day buffet" thing. I love the concept of paying a flat rate of $33.60 (more on the weekends) and getting 3 turns at the buffet from Breakfast, Lunch to Dinner. They hand you this card where they will punch a hole in everytime you eat. Kind of like your high school lunch card.

I came here for breakfast, and there was nothing breakfast wise that really impressed me. I would say the best item during breakfast was having roast beef with au jus which is really a lunch or dinner item.

Lunch time, they expanded the trays a bit. I remember them used to have some type of fish or salmon. They had shrimp in the open bar, but nothing spectacular. The high light item was the desert plate of tiramasu. Still this is not as good as the buffet at the Paris.

Lastly at dinner, the gf found the california rolls to be a high light and I m not much of a sushi fan. So I got stuck with roast beef au jux again for dinner.

Overall I wasn't impressed and I notice that the quality has degraded since the old days of MGM. If you want great buffet food go elsewhere. If you want a good bang for your buck, then come here. If you are getting a special with MGM where you get 2 for 1 buffet, then definitely take advantage of it. Otherwise, there are plenty of better buffet options out there.

Review - The MGM Grand Hotel &amp; Casino

MGM Grand

Categories: Hotels, Casinos

Update - 9/12/2009 3 photos
Staying at the MGM this time around on my trip wasn't so much about getting a quality room, but more about the perks and bonuses that came with booking your room. You pretty much have a city built inside the hotel, and you will have everything at your disposal. The night before we stayed at the Signatures, and we knew the move wouldn't be that big of deal. Its about a 10-15 min walk from the towers of Signatures to MGM.

The room itself definitely lived up to the name. Beds were very comfortable, showers were large enough and had good source of hot water and there was even a desk and a couch for you spend time away from the beds. I hate hotels where the only thing you get is just a bed, it reminds me of motel 6. The only gripe I have is that the room's TV is still the old school tube. Most hotels now days atleast come with a flat screen. I m sure the West Wing has it hooked up like that. Other then that, the room was great!

As far as amenities and perks, I will start off by saying I saved about $150 off the cover at Wet Republic. I got a special which gave us free access, and we were able to use it towards LDW 09 Monday. Next we saved an additional $40 off the all day buffet. We got a 2 for 1 deal, so I only had to pay for one person. We could've saved more if we went to Tabu, but we got hook ups at XS.. so we weren't going to mess around. All in all, we got almost $200 worth of perks, and I paid about $58 after tax for my room. I think it was a great deal.

Im definitely going to come back to the MGM if they run deals like this again. Would I pay $199 a night here? Nope. $52 a night with all the perks.. hell yes.
