Hello all,
Thanks for all the amazing trip reports. They have been incredibly entertaining an informative. I did a rediculous amount of planning for this trip. Things almost never went as I had envisioned they would, but I still had a great time.
Thank you to Mikey T and Donnie. I never met any of them but they answered my texts with lightning speed. Had things fallen through on our original plans, I know they would have come through. Also to Hunter D and Miss V. She suggested an ultra rapid fat loss diet, and after reading that Hunter D runs 20-30 miles a week, I figured if its good enough for him, I oughta give it a try. By the trip time I cut down to the high 170's at 5'11, benching 235, and if I tensed up I could actually see 6 abs.
Pretrip: decided to wax my chest/abdomen at home. Have a professional do it!! ouch!! Took some skin off and had a rash for a couple of days which fortunately went away before palms pool saturday. Wife looks at my chest: "i liked your chest hair", not happy at all. Not really happy about any aspect of my boys trip.
Flew in friday afternoon. Got to Mccarran and limo dude has a sign with my name on it! From plane to escalade were talkin a couple of minutes. Amazing. $30 tip and were on a side trip to von's for water rebull, vodka, mixers, limes.
Checked in to palms place. $40 sandwich gets us a strip view on the 51st floor. before the sandwich, I only ever got ceiling/air vent views. Great room, king/queen pullout, fridge, plates, utensils, oven, etc. Just like an apartment .
My friends get there at around 11pm. Were all in our late 30's. Theres a single male friend(SF) and a married couple(MC). haven't seen them in months, so we all catch up/pregame. MC and I are into EDM so we head to rain for clash friday. We had no preplan so we rolled up in a very non vip way. Short line and $50 cover and were in. This was the worst night by far. The energy level was not very high. Felix da housecat was pretty good, but I was disappointed w green velvet. Crowd not really feelin the music. WAY more dudes than girls there. Lots of sunglasses there! Were outta there, go to 24/7 (love the chicken fried steak after 2 mo of lo carb), hit the sack around 5.
Up at 8 without an alarm. Try to get SF up, he's not happy. Go to the gym, which is free for hotel guests. I figured the place would be packed w steroid meatheads gettin pumped for the pool. No. There were a bunch of people who looked like they hadnt touched a weight in years trying to get "ripped". I almost lost control w laughter when i saw a super skinny dude pick up a 35lb dumbell and start to do these side bends. All I could think of when I saw this was:"you can do side bends or situps, but please dont lose that butt!" I had to immediately pickup dumbells and do some curls to prevent myself from laughing. I was really glad that i've worked out for the last few months. Did a short total body workout.
We all met for breakfast at simon. service totally sucked but the bloody mary's rocked. amazingly beautiful waitresses here and the palms place pool.
I was planning on going to EBC today, but after finding out the palms pool was free, its hard to beat free. We got there at around 1130. The place is huge. i was a little disoriented at first, but we soon found a great spot to camp out/put our stuff with a perfect view of the dj and right next to the dance area. the music was just banging today. The highlight of the day was chromeo. As an "electro funk" duo, i didn't think I would like them, but they really had the whole crowd jumpin for hours. Break down came on after, and also was great. My SF who "doesn't like techno" was dancing around like a madman by the end of the day. I was a good wingman at least twice that day. First, cool chick my buddy was dancing with most of the day (probably a 8.5) starts touchin/grabbin me when he goes to the bathroom. In a nice way I make it clear im not interested and SF is definitely the guy for her. Late in the day SF and I hit the dance area and he starts grinding with an 8-9 cute black gal with a killer body. She's is in a group of like 6-7 friends, a couple of which are heavy. So while he's dancing with this girl one heavy friend comes up in front of me grinding into my pelvis while another heavy friend starts grinding me from behind. A freakin threesome landmine takedown!! I entertain them for as long as I was able. No pics as far as I know, or i'll need to make a t shirt of my own. SF's doesn't get her number (?) and were off for dinner at garduno's. Food was ok, but I was starving. Ate chips and salsa for the first time in months. Yum!!!
Right before taking a nap I said: many a soldier has fallen after the pool party. Woke in a panic at 1015, but no worries husband of the MC knows dj zen freeman and we are on the list. We meet up with some friends of friends, then had a JC moment when we skip a huge line for perfecto at rain. What a difference a day makes. The energy level and music was banging. Zen played a great set. Mostly house/electro but mashed up some oldies in there to mix things up. Oakenfold did not disappoint. I coulda done without the acrobats and fireballs, but the music was great. my friends and I were dancing the whole night. SF tried the grind from behind move a few times but the ladies weren't really feelin it tonight. Couldnt be much of a wingman as the danceflor is packed. I did buy him and a girl he was talking to drinks, so he could try to work some magic.
