This was at Ricks Caberat. Haven't heard many people talking about this joint on the forums and place was 'recommended' by valet at the Rio.

Friday 7/2

Today was a total no go. Pounding the drink hard for a few days caught up with the gang. We checked out of the Trump and made our way, via a rental, to the Las Vegas Shiton, sorry I mean Hilton.

This place was like a hotel from the 70's. We booked club resort rooms so were at least expecting some level of comfort. Really, Truely, the rooms looked like they could have come out from a time warp. The bathroom was so small, I think even the janitors cupboard down the hall was bigger. Oh, I wish we were back at the trump.........

Oh well, no worries, only here for 2 days. So the plan was to get something to eat and then move on to Hoover dam, since we had the rental. We stopped of at the Harley Davidson Cafe and ate. Food was ok, typical burger/steak type joint. Think TGI Fridays without the in your face decor. Bikes were cool, moving along a conveyor belt above us. Waitress was hot, so hot I guess all of us kept looking at her and she loved it! But there was something in the air....... everyone looked down and out. No one looked like they wanted to be awake. No one even had a beer. Was this a sign of things to come for tonight.........

We went to hoover dam, took pictures and spent about 20 minutes there as it was so hot. Even in the shade I was sweating. So we drove back to the hotel. Classic moment on the way back. Just before we hit the strip, I caught a red light and was waiting for it to turn green. 2 cars in front on the left was a pickup. In the back of the pickup, it looked like was a statue or lifesize model of a person, probably around 350lbs. That was until the hand moved. This was a real person. Oh my god, what a surreal moment. Everyone cracked up at first, but then the cameras came out and people started taking pictures. Only in America......

Ok, so we got back to the hotel and hit our beds. I awoke at 10.30pm and was ready to go. Phoned the other rooms and everyone sounded dead or asleep. Come on, we're in Vegas......... it's friday night! This night came to an end before it even started. I went downstairs with the intention of gambling and maybe going out alone, but the Hilton Casino made me depressed. It's old, with older people who were trying to party, (I guess everyone is entitled to party), but it wasn't getting me in the mood.

I got some food, got back to my room, ate it and watched the Chapelle show until I fell asleep.

Would tomorrow be the same?????

7/3 coming up.........

Sat 7/3

Well, got up bright and early this morning. Phoned up loser friend and hit the gym. Talked about the wash out the night before and how this would not happen tonight.

Watched the Germany v Argentina world cup game while at the gym was thoroughly entertained. Finished and went back to room to shower and freshen up. Phoned the guys and the plan was to go and watch the Spain v Paraguay world cup game. We all jumped into the rental and dropped it off at Treasure Island. Went to a few bars in treasure Island as kickoff was fast approaching and although they had the game on, most were playing loud music over it so you couldn't hear the commentary. I hate it when that happens!

Caught a cab over to Miracle Mile shops and straight into Blondies. The game was on and they had audio! We ordered food and a few jugs of beer. Now everone looked like they were getting in the mood. Until......

there was something weird about the game. It seemed as if the commentary was 10 seconds ahead of the visual picture. And it was..... this was not the beer kicking in. How annoying! There were two penalties in the game and we knew the result of both penalty kicks before we could even see the tv pictures. Ok, so we had to move on. Paid the bill and walked across to the Strip Bar, which also had a big screen showing the game. This bar is small, with a stripper pole in the middle. You walk in through the entrance between a huge model sized statue of a stripper woman with her legs open. Class! hehehe

Anyway, they had drink specials and commentary was in sync with the tv pictures.

Got very merry here and the best team won!

I turned to speak to the bachelor and noticed he was gone. I asked his bro where he was and was told he had gone back to the hotel. Turns out he still had the sh*ts, and his problem was not getting any better. We decided to go to a couple of shops in the Fashion show mall. One of the guys who used the toilet in the Miracle mile shops the other day decided he needed to go for a number 2 again today, in the same bathroom and toilet he went in on Thursday. So we waited for him outside, remembering what happended before. And he came out of the toilet laughing........

We asked him what he was laughing about and he said that the bathroom attendant turned around and starting cussing, saying 'not again'! Apparently he used the toilet again and had tried to flush but not done it properly. And the same bathroom attendant as yesterday saw him and went to the toilet after he used it. Is that funny or just plain sick? I'll let you decide.

Caught a cab to the Fashion show mall and a couple of the guys wanted to buy some of those novelty t-shirts that flash after noise activation. With those bought, the loser guy friend wanted to carry on shopping. After haveing a few drinks, we were not in the mood to do this so one of the other guys told him we were going back to the hotel. We parted ways and went straight into........ Strip Burger.

Went straight to the bar and spent the next 3 hours sitting and chatting and drinking. Had a few missed calls from loser friend and eventually made our way back to our hotel.

Had a sleep for an hour and then got changed and had my room setup for pre-gaming. We were going to the Palms clubs tonight and had the VIP All Access Hosted bar. Paid about 120 dollars per person, from wanttickets.com, before we arrived in Vegas. This gave us a hosted bar at Ghostbar with unlimited Kettle Vodka and Perrier Jouet Champagne from 10pm to 1pm, as well as VIP access to all the palms clubs.

I phoned up the guys and was told we were a man down. Apparently the Bachelor still hadn't got over his stomach troubles, and had been going to the toilet quite regularly. So apart from not coming out with us tonight, he would lose his money for not attending the hosted bar.

This put a downer on things as he was the reason we were here. But we weren't going to allow this to haunt us! We had a couple of drinks in my room before getting a cab over to the Palms. Got inside the hotel and went to the stuff store. Picked up bracelets and went over to Ghostbar entrance. There was a little queue but not too big, and it was only 9.45pm. I know, we went early, but we wanted to cane that open bar. Got in straight away without lining up, right up in the elevator and into GhostBar. The bar itself wasn't too bad but most people come for the views on the outside terrace. This was amazing, and just about as good, if not slightly better than the view from Voodoo Lounge. The glass floor at the end of the terrace looks straight down. Some of the guys were not feeling this though as they seemed to get vertigo.

Anyway it was already 10pm so we went over to the main bar and asked about our open bar. The lady behind the bar told us to go to the smaller room in the corner of Ghostbar. In here was 2 tables, seating and a bar. Perfect, the room was empty so there was seating, there were ash trays on the tables. But no one behind the bar! Come on, it's past 10pm, we want our drinks! hahaha Anyway, a gorgeous bar lady came over about 5 minutes later and we were up and running. The guys all had Vodka. You can have any mixer, including redbull, but you can only have one drink at a time. So you cannot ask for a vodka mixer and then a can of rebull for instance..... I had champagne, i love the stuff and Perrier Jouet is pretty tasty stuff.

We went out onto the terrace and mingled in with people, talking and laughing and having a good time. I didn't see anyone else go into the hosted bar that night, or missed them so I don't think that many people do this option, if any at all. I had drunk a bottle of champagne and started on the second one, when loser friend said he wanted to check out the other clubs in the Palms. The other guys said they wanted to stay where they were, so me and loser friend went off.

Took the elevator to the hotel level ground floor and walked across the way to Moon, via Playboy bar. There was a long line to get into Moon and we bypassed this with our wristbands. Had to wait in a seperate queue for 5 minutes while the elevator was coming down, but bam! We were in so quickly. Walked into Playboy club first. They had a casino type setup on the main floor and at the far end there was a bar with people dancing in front of it. We took a look and then headed up to Moon, via an escalator.

Moon was packed. We got onto the dance floor, made a little space, and danced the night away. The roof opened and closed few times during the night. But it was getting too much. Too many people in such a small space equals disaster. While on the dance floor, a guy went and grabbed a girls ass. She turned around and gave my loser friend a dirty look. He looked at her innocently and said it wasn't me. All this and then guy who did it still had his hand on her ass! hahahah Anyway, he takes his hand off her ass and comes over to loser friend and tells him it's ok, girls like that! He said just grab anyone. I laughed but was also cringing at this. I told him there were two girls by the stairs and to go do it to them. He went off and this was a que for us to leave. It was so packed that it took us forever to get to the escalator. This was by the stairs. And guess who was there....... yep, the pervert! He made eye contact and came over as we were walking and I said to him 'I thought you were going to dance with those 2 girls I pointed out. He said wait here, and went down the stairs and straight into the girls. We went without even finding out what happened. Thank god.

Anyhow, got out of moon/playboy altogether and went into Rain. Again, no lining up and straight in. Paul Oakenfold was playing and the place was jumping. Only stayed for a few minutes as loser friend doesn't like house music. I do, but it didn't bother me. Went back up to Ghostbar and again went straight in without lining up. The other guys were no longer there and it was now nearly 4am. We decided to call it a night and went to go grab a cab back to our hotel.

Man, the cab line was insane. The valet told us he could do us a town car for 45 bucks. Took that instead. Tipped the guy and got into hotel. Loser friend decides he is hungry and goes to grab food and I head back up to my room. As I got out of the elevator and into the hall way for my room, I saw the other 2 guys walking ahead of me. I called out to them and they came back and into my room. They were carrying food and ate it in my room while talking about their night. They did a little gambling and caught a ride back from some local who charged them only 20 bucks but they got to skip the huge taxi line. Both were pretty wasted and they said they had a good time.
