My trip review June 5-9th!

[brazeneye]

Review – June 5th – 9th.. pictures to be posted soon (my friends took most of the good pictures)

Friday: Landed – flight was pretty bumpy. Went straight to the hotel and unpacked stuff. Then headed out on the strip. Had our first drink and lunch on the outdoor patio at the market between MGM and Planet Hollywood. We walked all the way down to Fashion Show Mall (beside Treasure Island) first (of course) to check out all the shops. It took us about 3 hours to walk down there with all the stops for booze and ice cream and randoms stopping us and chatting (I put lipstick on some random guy.. I was helping my friend touch up her makeup, and this guy came up to us and said he wanted red lipstick..). Took a cab back from the mall to MGM and had a nap. Got ready, and then had appetizers at the Rainforest Café bar. The bartenders there were awesome!! When we paid our bill, I had about 1/3 of my drink left and the bartender asked me if I wanted a cup for my drink (I was about to just shoot it down), and I told him that would probably be a lot prettier than me trying to slam it back. So he got a HUGE Styrofoam cup (probably about 20oz) and filled it up with vodka and soda for me. “That’s pretty!”.

Took a cab over to Tryst around 10:30. HUGE line up. See a really short petite girl with a bunch of papers in her hands and we just tell her were on the Clubzone guestlist (we are not on her list, but she doesn’t acknowledge that we’re not on the list). She pulls us out of the line, comps our cover and we’re in! I almost have a tumble down the stairs into Tryst in my really high heels (ladies be careful up in Tryst!). We get some drinks and sit on a bench near the dance floor, checking out the scene and the gorgeous waterfall. Crowd there is more to our liking, mix of people our age, older. Everyone is dressed up, all the girls really went out to get ready there. We dance for an hour, have another drink and decide it’s time to move on!

Get out into the Wynn lobby and an older man who works for the hotel dressed in a suit (probably in his late 60’s? Adorable!) opens the rope for us and lets us out. We have the sweetest interaction.. Me: ‘You ready for us, handsome?’ Him: ‘Nobody said it better than Toby Keith; I am more ready not than I’ll ever be.’ Got into the cab, my friend still had her drink in the glass from Tryst (hahaha!).

Take a cab back to MGM. Go back to our room, I grab my Styrofoam drink, she refills her Tryst glass from my drink, and we go walking out to NYNY. Couple of really young guys (I swear they were only like 16? But they said they were 21) beg us to come with them to Rok. Get out front, some kid that’s 16 with crazy long hippy hair is dancing as if he’s in a trance outside, really strange... I laugh and ask the bouncer if we can get in. My friend and I are wearing skate shoes and flip flops but he doesn’t seem to have problem with that. Rok is pretty small, but good if you’re in a “I don’t care where we go” sort of attitude, which we were. And dance away with our little buddies. Leave around 2, and have baked pretzels, and off to bed!

TO BE CONTINUED..!

Yeah I agree with you xtrmski03. Traveling overseas right now is very reasonable. I found a 7 day staying at 4 star hotel and flight package in Dubai for $1200. I am looking at going either the first or second week in august. the funny thing is the same trip in september is about $3500.

thats because al queda just released their terror attack list and its very active for the month of august!

Yeah, I think I would be pretty upset if that happened to me over a vacation in Europe. Vegas is a couple hundred dollars for me to fly. Europe would be a couple thousand.

Next time I'll know not to have one other person in my party.

Definetely know who to invite based on venue (i.e. vegas or europe).

In all truth an honesty, Europe is super cheap right now...we flew non-stop from Chicago to Dublin over Memorial Day weekend for $389 per ticket on American. My family flew from Denver to Dublin (w/layover in Chicago to meet up with us) for $467 per ticket. I would say this summer is a great time to travel abroad (other than exchange rates) if you have the time and money.

7 days in dublin, hotel, flight, and food/booze cost us about $1,100/person while Vegas will inevitably be twice as expensive

Well, something similar happened to me... only it was much worse, as I was tripping in Europe!! 4 guys total, 2 of them didn't want to do anything at night, and worse, they wanted to get up everyday at like 7 or 8, to go see all the museums, exhibits, etc. I'm all for culture (in fact, I love it), but I believe that the nightlife was part of the experience that we had to live, and we went out like only 4 times in a 3 week period. We ended up splitting up a couple nights and the other guy and me went bar-hopping those times... but upon returning to Mexico, I remember being very bitter at these friends because, even though the trip was a lot o fun, it could have been better!!

Luckily, one those guys made it up by becoming a party animal on the following trip, hehe, so we forgave him.

hah awesome thread! i'm headed to LV 6/19 for a bachelor party and will definitely have a thorough talk with the one broke-ass friend and his dislike of clubs!

In a big group I don't think you'll have any problems You can always leave behind the non-partying stragglers. Good luck!!

I actually joined up to display my disgust, anger at your friend for fu*&ing up for your holiday but I got preoccupied. Anyway if that happened to me id be pretty damn pissed off.. Perhaps next time go for a bit longer too!

That sucks. I had the same problem with the chicks i went with in april. They didnt want to go to the clubs or the pools. Its a shame cuz its such a waste. Thanks for the review and pics.

What do they like to do there?

[ocTICK]

Notice how I'm not replying to that?

Hahahaha

CREEEEEEPPPYYY

I noticed that....but I don't blame you. I scared myself.

Looks like I won't even make it to Vegas in June. I guess I will just have to unleash on 6th street in Austin instead.

Cut your losses. If you have not partied hard with your friends in your home town, vegas is not the place for a trial run. there is to many good parties at stake to pass on.. trial runs are a must for those you are not familiar with. keep in mind RUNS not run....
