Heeeeeeey! What's gooooood?! Sooooo 2 months later and I'm finally deciding to write my TR. It's been crazy at work ever since I got back from Vegas and I just couldn't find time to write it up. It may be a bit wordy because I happen to be a detail whore...sue me!
So first off, this was Aaron and I's very FIRST trip to Vegas and we stayed for 5 nights....lol. (we partied hard ALL 5 nights as you'll learn) Landed on Wednesday at 1:30pm and flew home on Monday at 3pm.
The night before: Ran some errands, got a flat tire on the Altamont pass which is basically between Livermore and Tracy(if you're from NorCAL) in the middle of NOWHERE in the hills...waited 2 hours for Triple A...trip almost didn't happen because we were in such a bad spot in the hills that CHP had to stop traffic and have us move the car to the opposite side of the road because he thought we were gonna get hit and killed where we were. I added this to our TR because it just shows the bad luck we were starting out with.
Wednesday: I couldn't sleep at all Tuesday night, so I woke up on about 4 hours of sleep. We were gonna catch the bus to the BART station then BART from Dublin to SFO. The Bus decides not to show, so we're kinda freakin out that we're gonna miss our flight. I wake up my roomate and get us a ride to BART, about 30 minutes later than we wanted and it's about 9:30am and I'm ready for a drink already. Long BART ride to SFO, about 90 minutes, but we get there at 11:00am and our flight is at 11:50 so we're good to go. We breeze through security and wait to get on the plane. We were on somewhat of a budget because we had bottle service to pay for that night and both spent a bit too much money the weekend before and were waiting to get our Direct Deposits on Thursday, so we were trying to stay conservative and not drink on the plane. Didn't work for me, I ordered their absinthe cocktail...a nice start to the day but Aaron was crying that I didn't wait for him, so I only got 1. We land and I'm already on edge for what awaits us. We had already been discussing how crazy we get locally and that US in Vegas together....for the first time...ONE of us was gonna go to Jail, get married or possibly even die, lol. When we get outside whooosh! Fucken desert takes the breath right from my mouth....I'm from the bay area...god damn its hot AND we were in the shade. We take a shuttle to our Hotel...the Hard Rock Hotel! On the way there the shuttle driver is kind of a smart ass and remarks that the other 14 people are going to be pissed because out of the 16 or so of us on the shuttle, 8 were staying at the belagio, some others here, some others there and 2 were staying at the Hard Rock which happens to be the first stop So like an asshole I yell "IN YOUR FACE FUCKERS!" haha. Anyway, we get to the Hotel and go to check-in...it's about 2:30, so we're only about 30 minutes from the normal check-in time, which I figure is perfect. We were staying for 5 nights, but I wanted an upgrade, so I figured I'd sandwich $30 instead of $20 just to be sure. I picked out the person that I figured would be most likely to hook it up and approached. Made some small talk, and handed it over. He placed it to the side and said "let me see what I can do for you guys". He mentioned that the Hotel was sold out, but would hook us up as much as possible. We ended up with a 4th floor room overlooking the pool...PRIME location, I couldn't have been happier. I do think that $20 would have worked, but I was happy to spend the $10 extra to ensure it. We unpacked, ironed our clothes for the weekend and then headed straight for the CVS! We decided to stop for Pizza right next to CVS, I think it was called New York pizza or some shit. Basically pizza by the slice type of joint, nice sized slices, well priced, definitely worth a try. On a side note, the only water they offer is a shot glass of water at a time..you're better off buying the cup...shit was ridiculous, haha. We leave there and head to CVS, we're pretty big on the pregaming so we decide to get 2 handles, Vodka and Rum I believe...can't really remember, but they served their purpose.
We headed back to the HR and after dropping everything back at the room we decided to walk around and check out the scene. The HR is exactly what I expected, tons of young people, beautiful women, rock memorabilia everywhere. Exactly what we wanted, the young party atmosphere. The Pool is amazing of course, but it was wednesday and near closing so there wasn't many people at it. I think it's like 7pm by now...so on 4 hours of sleep I think we took a nap until 8 or 9pm. We were set to meet up with Darryl (the VIP host I met through these forums) at 10pm at the Circle bar in the Casino. We were supposed to be getting BS at Wasted Space that night and possibly hopping to some other places afterwards. We got ready and each had about 5 shots in the room...it seemed like time was at a standstill and 10pm would never come. We were so excited to start our trip, so we head down around 9:50 and I tell Darryl that we're already there. He's like "wow man, I usually tell people 10pm and then we meet at 10 - 11pm" and I'm like "sorry bro, we're excited as fuck to get this started!". So we meet up with Darryl and as promised, he has 2 local girls with him that are going to hang out with us and says a couple more are otw. Inside we get seated at what I think is a pretty prime location. In front of the DJ area in the center. ( There was word that Derrick Jeter's sister was going to be at a table right next to us as well for her bday) We're getting a B1G1 so our Sky vodka (free) is delivered and the waitresses come and take our order for the bottle. I'm pretty easy going and not particularly picky at this point so I let Aaron choose and he chooses Patron silver...an OK choice imo. Neither of us has ever done bottle service before so we're pretty rookie and don't know which mixers we want or anything, so I ask Darryl to decide. I think Darryl chose, club soda, pineapple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice and sprite? I dunno. We decide to start off with some shots while the hot ass bartender makes us our drinks. An excellent start to the night. Everything is still pretty surreal at this point and im trying to stay rather low-key and take it all in. The 5 of us hang out and get to know eachother a bit. Darryl is an animated guy, full of energy, but yet suave and right at home. Professional, but fun and pretty much reminded me of my buddy's from home. He tried to loosen us up a bit and I witnessed for the first time of many and would later be told about "The Darryl Dance", his signature move. Kind of a jump/twisty type of move, I dubbed it the "Business Twist", haha.
So the drinking commences and within I'd say 10 minutes of drinkin, 1 of the girls spills her entire drink, and I guess this started a domino affect because in the next hour, everyone but me would spill an entire drink...rookies! Some other girls end up hanging out as well, I think they knew Darryl...I can't remember. Aaron and I go out into the club to check it out, but quickly end up back at our table because again, its only 11pm and I guess WS doesn't really get crackin until late. We head back to the table and the second pair of girls comes back a bit later and one asks me if I want to dance, so I grab Aaron and we head out to the dance floor. We start dancing it up a bit and some girls from the VIP table next to us decide to join our little dance sesh, but im guessing they are getting pretty drunk because they pretty much start raping one of the girls we were with...VERY entertaining. We head back to the table for more drinks and shots. At this point the we kill the rest of our bottles and it's about 11:45pm...lol...we killed 2 bottles in about 90 minutes, haha. I think we're all feeling pretty good, Darryl suggests we head over to Blush. We're down, so I say that I need to use the restroom and we'll head out. The 2 girls that we had danced with catch me and are upset we're leaving, so I offer them to join us. They gladly accept, so much so and this is the funny part, they follow me into the bathroom. Now WS's bathrooms are co-ed which I think is awesome, but these girls were so worried that I was going to leave them, I'm pretty sure the one would have held it for me :P Anway, I go to the bathroom and I can hear the 2 girls come out of their stalls and they're like "OMG, He left us" and they're like all upset, so I delay a little bit and listen...I know, I'm an asshole sometimes, but it was funny. I come out of the stall and I'm like all calm "ok, you guys ready" and they were so relieved...It was funny, but I guess maybe you had to be there. I grab Aaron, Darryl and and we head to Blush.
