[NyceGuy]

I kinda like how you just quickly mentioned the asian girl kissing you and you continued with the story. No big deal. lol.

[restyle]

this, like, makes my day. a) you remember the girl drama that my friends and i don't talk about. im pretty sure there was slapping and drink throwing involved. my one friend was mad bc i was hanging out with you guys and "not paying attention to her" b) i had no idea you left us so many times and then met back up with us. c) how do you remember all of this?!?! that night is so blurry.

[Cisco419]

Day 3 ... last night in Vegas

Day 3 Saturday 9/19

After about an hour of trying to lay in bed resisting M and M2’s calls to wake up. K and I give in and get up. K is feeling like hell, but he gets up anyways. We decide to go to the food court and grab some food as we recap the previous night. Meanwhile, my parents and sister drove in the night before while I was at the Palms and were staying at the Casino Royale which is next to the Venetian. My mom calls me in the morning to see what I’m doing and comes meets me at the food court. Eating occurs.
Finish eating, my mom and I head back to my room. Call up my sister and dad and they walk to my room like 15 min later. M2 and M go walk around that mall across the street. K goes with them at first, but after like 20 min he rolls back into the room and tries to sleep. He’s in bad shape.
Anyways hang out with the parents in the room for a bit. I’m trying to remember if we went out to grab lunch, but I can’t remember lol. Either way, a few hours later we make plans to meet up at the Bellagio buffet for dinner as my dad has 4 comped meals and 8 comped drinks at the buffet. M2 and M come back from their excursion. My family goes back to do their own thing. We all decide to go check out the pools at the Palazzo as well as Azure, their “pool party”.
Walk around the pools, which they had quite a few of. A little busy. Chill and grab some drinks. Go in and out of Azure as well. After going to Ditch the day before, Azure was not impressive. It barely had people, was a lot smaller and nowhere near as fun. Swim, drink, sit around, swim, drink. I grab a massage from one of those chair massage people by the pool. Felt great. Then we head back to the room and watch the end of the USC game which they ended up losing, much to the disappointment of my friends. All this time, K hasn’t drunk. He’s really in bad shape. He lays in bed for the next hour or so before we have to head out to the Bellagio.
Dinner time rolls around, my friends and I head to Bellagio buffet and meet my family. Line is super long, but we walk through the empty line for people with comps and get seated immediately. Grab a ton of food, especially shrimp and crab legs. My friends and I make use of the 8 free drinks as well… except for K who’s still feeling bad. We all eat a lot … but not K. He grabs one plate with a couple things on it. Takes a couple bites and then excuses himself from the table. He doesn’t come back and we find him after we’re done. Other than that, we all thoroughly enjoyed the buffet.
Finish dinner and we part ways with my family for the night. Tonight I had left open as we wanted a chill non clubbing night (especially since we figured we’d be broke by then). The JC meet up was like at 8 at Blush and then onto Tryst afterwards. We weren’t going to do Tryst, but I thought I could get my friends to the initial meet for Blush since it would be more chill there. Dinner ran late, I txt restyle and they are still at Blush, but were heading to Tryst soon. We wouldn’t be able to make it as we had to meet M’s uncle at Hard Rock for some drinks. Again, sorry restyle!
M drives to Hard Rock, we meet his uncle and start drinking at the center bar. We get approached by a couple hosts trying to get us to go to the Kid Rock concert that was about to start there for $25 bucks or to Body English. We contemplate it for a little, but decide against it. Now we knew why Kid Rock was in town though. We admire the eye candy that is very plentiful walking around Hard Rock. Also get approached by some young European teenager who’s doing magic tricks at each table. A couple of his tricks were cool, but we weren’t really interested in it. But yet he kept sticking around our table trying to do more tricks for us. After an eternity he finally left us alone and moved on to his next victims. Have a few more drinks. For those wondering, K is feeling better by now and is drinking again.
Head back to Palazzo. We aren’t sure what we want to do. The idea is for something chill, maybe another casino bar. We load up our drinks in the room and start walking. First we did a walk through of Wynn/Encore, wanted to people watch the people in line at XS. The line was insanely long as expected. Exchanged some txts with H2oski at this time and he says he’s in the XS line with some girls. I thought about maybe looking for him, but that zoo there made me decide against it. Walk back to Palazzo.
The various bars at Venetian and Palazzo aren’t really packed. K and M2 are cool with that as that was the idea for the night to be more chill. M is getting a bit restless and wants a to go to a more happening bar/lounge. We walk around with drinks in hand looking for that. After a while, I take them to V Bar which looks like a possible place. M wants go in. There’s like a $10 cover. K and M2 don’t want to. M gets upset and tries to change their minds but without success. I’m whatevers. I can walk around drinking and what not or go into V bar. M is getting upset so I decide I’ll go in with him and K/M2 go off and do their own thing.
M and I go in V bar and start drinking and dancing with the people there. It’s a pretty small place, but I liked the music and the people seemed alright. Anyways, we drink and dance for a couple hours. Some time later, M gets tired and heads back to the room. I’ve been downing my stable of redbull vodkas so I’m still ready to go. I call up K to see where they are at, thinking they are at a bar. They are walking the strip and are currently making a stop at fatburger. I decide not to join them. They ended up walking all the way past Mandalay and back.
I’m walking around the Venetian solo. I txt restyle to see if they are at tryst still, but don’t get any response. I go and see what’s up at Tao. Tao looks packed. I see one of the bouncers outside that I chatted up 2 nights before when I had a table at Tao. He remembers me. I ask him how it is in there and what not. He lets met cut the line and go right in. I go in to Tao. Notice the hallway between the main room and opium room where my table was had no tables this time. Still pretty crowded though like Thursday night. Drink. Dance. Etc. Drink, dance. Repeat. About an hour later, I get tired and head back to the room. M is on the phone with his girl friend. They are bickering about something…he’s drunk, she was sleeping or something. Something about someone not calling someone when they got home. I don’t know… I avoid this type of drama, but this goes on forever and it’s keeping me up. Conversation finally ends after a while. I tell him he’s being stupid about calling so late. He agrees. We sleep. Hours later (probably almost day light), K and M2 get back from walking up and down the strip. Day 3… our last night in Vegas ends.

[AK2Vegas]

Great read man, great read. Thanks

[Drew]

Day 4... goodbye Vegas

9/20 Sunday

Everyone slowly wakes up in the morning. Depression starts as we start packing up and getting ready to go. My parents check out of their place and head over to my room. K and M and M2 eventually finish and hit the road back to Cali.

I have a couple hours to kill before my flight. We go to Gold Coast and have their Chinese dim sum. We have gone there the past 3 trips to Vegas with my family so we're fans. Up to this point, I haven't made my customary trip to In n Out. Never was able to get around to it earlier because it wasn't a high priority for the rest of the group being that they live in CA. I had suggested In n Out instead of dim sum but my parents wanted dim sum. I was fine with it. Anyways, we eat and have a good meal.

About to head to the airport, but my parents are like do you still want in n out. I was stuffed but of course I had to sieze the opportunity. Hit the long drive thru line, order my triple triple with fries. I don't eat it there, but actually wrap it up in a plastic bag and stuff it into my carry on to be eaten hours later after I get back to the east coast. I know it's gross but, I love in n out.

My parents stop to get some gas. We chose the wrong gas station as all the stations were full. We notice 1 lane that has both cars leaving, the car in front of us goes up and we follow suit. But instead of continuing on to the 2nd pump like any normal considerate person so we can follow into the the first pump, she just stops at the first pump. Then the driver stops and pops open her door and leaves it wide open... so basically no cars can pass through the middle to the other pump as the other side had cars too. My dad then tries to back out and go to another lane, but there are now 2 cars behind us at that point, so we're stuck. Couple min later another car goes into the 2nd pump from the other side. Great. This girl shuffles around in her car for a few min, then gets out. She was still in her short short club dress attire from the night before probably. My dad is starting to get annoyed. She gets out and goes inside the station, leaving the door wide open still. She hasnt started to pump gas. Then comes back a few min later and we think finally. Nope, then her friends gets out of the car and goes in the station. Few min later, she comes back. We're thinking finally. Nope. Driver girl finally stumbles over to the gas pump and then starts to pump gas. Mind you, we've been stuck for about 20 min at this point waiting. We're still stuck as the driver side door is still left wide open. My dad's pretty much cursing away at this point. Finally, she finishes getting gas, puts the pump back and gets in her car. But of course she doesn't immediately go away. A few min later she's pulls out and we can get gas after almost 30+ min.

Get gas, my parents drop me off at the airport. I fly home stuck next to some bigger people and a kid crying a couple rows up. Get back to my apt around 1 am east coast time, eat my in n out and go to bed.

[BritishV]

Loving the details! And I love how polite you are, I'd have gone and shut her bloody door! Daft bint!

[SoCal Girl]

I'm with BV on that one. I would have said something too. I just can't stand "Captain You Planets". Don't get me wrong I am very patience and considerate but people that don't think about others drive me nuts.


Great TR Drew less than 48 hours till I am on the road to Vegas.

[Drew]

You need a bell on those guys.
