Dbarnett88's Vegas TR (July 13-19)

[BigDex14]

Wednesday:

Wake up early and arrive at the airport @ approximately 8AM as I am supposed to meet my friend Jason in the Alaska Airlines terminal then before we check-in. He is running late as usual and doesn't show up until 8:30, but it is okay. I just took that half hour to mentally prepare myself for all of the things that could possibly

happen on this trip. When he finally shows up we check our bags and proceed to our gate. Our flight is scheduled to depart @ 9:50 AM and everything was on time, so everything was all good. We board our flight and proceed towards our destination, I quickly slip into a slumber only to wake up to some of the worst turbulance

I've ever been in. When all is said and done our landing was safe and the excitement began to truly set in, we were finally here! LETS PARTY

Jason had been itching for a smoke since before we departed so when he saw that people were smoking inside of the slot machine filled room inside of the airport we just had to stop. A cigarette later and we were on our way to baggage claim. We quickly located our bags and went onward to the MGM desk located near the

carousels. We had stayed at MGM before and were caught off gaurd by the $20/night resort fee, kind of a downer, but oh well... on to the hotel we went. A short cabg ride later we were at our hotel, a elevator ride up to the 27th floor to unload our belongings and venture out for some grub.

On a way out the door of the hotel, Jason and I decided that we would each place $10 wagers on the roulette table (red) this is how i usually decided if this trip would be going positively or negatively in terms of gambling. The bet lost... not a good sign haha but oh well. We ate at Pink's hot dogs and I thought it was ok but Jason

really enjoyed it.



He couldn't even finish what he ordered but he would continnue to ask to go back throughout the trip since he liked it so much.

After we finished eating we stopped in the the ABC store and picked up a bottle to get things started for later on. We settled on 1800 as tequila always promises a good time. After a short trip to 7-11 for more smokes it was back to the room to let the drinking commence.



We started to get hungry again so it was off to Hooters to get some wings. After getting our fill it was back to the room to finish the bottle of 1800 and get ready for Surrender. We showed up right as they were opening and were right in. It was empty to start of course but things picked up over time and we were party rockin for

hours. Around 3:30 AM we took off and made a stop at the 24 hour Grand Lux inside of the Venetian. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles , Jason got the spring rolls we both finished our food only to pass out at the table and wake up to a check. Payed the bill and into the cab where we would pass out again, we coudn't wait to make it back to the room!

Thursday :

Getting about 7 hours of sleep we wake up around Noon, which is perfect because our friend Mario's flight had just landed and he was on his way over to the hotel. When he got to the room Jason and I began to get ready for the day, and then it was off to margaritaville. Mario and I got the perfect Margarita's, while Jason settled with a rootbeer. (sidenote: the perfect margaritas are nearly pure alcohol, I definitely recommend it.) Jason and I both got individual orders of the Nachos when in fact we probably should have shared... I mean these were mountains.



Upon finishing what we could of the food journey we had just ventured upon, we head accross the street to O'sheas for the beer pong tournament. We won the first round but lost in the second by two cups after mounting a huge comeback that looked like we wouldn't hit any cups. Oh well though... maybe next time. After we lost we hit the craps table where we meet our friend Edwin and everyone started to come up. Not being enough for me I decided to hit the roulette table afterwards where I proceeded to lose everything that I had just won and more...damnit lol. It must have been around 5:30 when our friends from Seattle had just touched down and checked into their suite over at Vdara. We decided to meet them at the Aria casino and did a little more gambling in the meantime wheile they ventured out to get something to eat.


After a couple of hours had past we met up with them and checked out there room, which was pretty nice. Time was winding down and we had to get ready for the night so back to the MGM we went before meeting up with an independent Host that our friend Harv decided to use. We were supposed to meet him @ 11, but ended up being 30 minutes late as Harv, Jagh, and Andy got lost trying to find us at the MGM. Over to the Wynn we went and met with the Guy, who conicidently was named "Guy" , he walked us into Tryst and over to our table we went. WE got settled with our bottles, 2 bottles of Goose and 2 bottles of champagne and the night started to get away from us,



bottle after bottle we must have destroyed them all within a hour. Off to the dancefloor we went, aqnd that is where the blackout begins. Mario and I ventured out while the remaining 4 guys chilled at the table and smoked cigarettes for a while. I have no sense of time and how much time has elapsed at this point but after dancing with a few girls I lose mario and decided to return to the table to find him. Somehow magically another bottle of goose appears... so we lay into that and destroy it within minutes. Mario and I take off again and the same thing happens. After dancing with a few girls I lose him again, so again I return to the table. This time he isn't there so Jason, Jagh, and I venture to the dancefloor. I don't rmember anything from this point but apparently I get separated from those two only to find Andy at the table on the verge of puking, so I escort him to the bathroom for what ends up to be a flase alarm. He is ready to leave so we head back to Vdara, and start cellphone coordinating to see if everyone is alright. We pass out in the process and I am awoken to a phonecall that Mario is in jail. WTF!!! I am hoping that this is a joke, but I am too exhausted to give it any of my energy. Jason and Jagh come back to the room and knock out but Harv is still missing. Around 8am Harv comes stumblin into the room and lays out on the floor.

Jagh: "Where have you been dude?"
Harv: "I was sleep on the street somewhere I guess"
Everyone: "WHAT?!"
Harv: "After I got kicked out of Tryst I just started walking west, I eventually came to like a fence or some shit but I was so fucked up I just layed down and went to sleep. Some security gaurd was going to call an ambulance for me but I told him I was alright, Then the police came and brought me back to the hotel, can I get a

blanket and a pillow?"

Friday:

We all slept for a few more hours and then went accross the street to PH to get Earl of Sandwich, which makes an excellent hangover food if you can stomach it. Jason and I went back over to the MGM to take naps/ change clothes/ get ready for the day. We had three more friends coming in on this day. They showed up to the room at about two, and it was about time... birthday boy (Jonathan) had finally arrived with Jomar and Edgar. They had already heard the news about mario and actually knew more details about it than Jason and I. So we were brought up to speed a little with what had happened. Apparently our friend Mario blacked out and woke up in jail, charged with battery on a protected person (guessing cab driver?), he claims to know nothing of what had happened. Everyone was starting to get hungry so we decided to get some pizza from the secret pizza place inside of the cosmo.
None of us had been inside of the cosmo at this point and must I say we were impressed. I am definitely going to have to stay here sometime. After downing our pie and guzzling our coke we went back to the room to get ready for the night.



As there was 5 of us in the room this is where things began to take some time. Through the grapevine we had heard that Mario had posted his bail via a bond and would be released around midnight, we told him to meet us up at Marquee later that night when he got situated.

Donnie shot me a text and ask me what was good for the night, we weren't quite positive yet of any details but we know that we wanted to go to Marquee. The other half of our group (Harv, Jagh, and Andy) called us up and asked up if we wanted to do a $80 walk in from their independent host at Marquee, I sort of wanted to see what other options were out there, so when I was talking to Donnie he hooked us up with a Table @ LAVO the first half of the night and then shot a text to one of his guys over at Marquee for line passes when we decided to make our way over there. It was a killer deal for what he was going to give us but people kept joining our party and I was getting a little upset and fearful that he wasn't going to be able to do it because things kept changing. Before heading into LAVO everyone wanted to catch a quick bite so we head upstairs to I <3 Burgers and ordered some quick appetizers, 6 out of the 9 people popped some pills to get things interesting and interesting they got. After downing our food feeling pressed for time we shot down to the door at LAVO and Donnie had us in right away, killed our pre-funk bottle and it was upstairs to the dancefloor.



The DJ was playing a nice set, but we weren't quite satisfied with staying here for the remainder of the night so after a couple hours of dancing we head over to Marquee @ approx 130. When we got there we went straight to the boom box room to get our fill of hip hip, I needed it at least. We're getting it in on the dancefloor when I look to my left to see Jagh is dancing with what is without question a man. I tap Jason on the shoulder and point out the obvious unsure if we should cut in or pull him away or something, but Jason just says "Nah man, let him he is having a good time".... So I keep doing my thing, as this will make for good laughs later. Marquee is such a huge club, when I hit the main floor i was trippin so hard I felt like it was so small, until i turned around and saw
the huge outdoor section. Yeah this place is colossal. Chuckie was tearin it up on the 1's and 2's and everybody was feeling the music, this went on practically all night, bouncing from upstairs to downstairs.

Then around 3:30 Mario's girlfriend started to call us saying that we had to go get Mario out, which is a bummer because we had all been told that it was handled and was expecting him to meet us up at some point that night, this means that there was no progression with him getting out which is another thing for us to deal with. FUCK! Imediately killing all of our buzzes she continued to call us all as we were attempting to round everyone up, which was quite difficult to do (for the sheer fact that the club is massive, phones are dying, people are drunk and high) Once we end up rounding up the MGM crew we head out of the club and try to figure out if there is anyway we can get this guy out of jail, there is no way that we can muster up $1000 cash at the moment, and everyone had tapped out their ATM withdrawls for the day, so there is no choice but to wait until later in the day when we can take out cash.

Jason and I go to Earl of Sandwich to get some more sandwiches while the other guys wait for us. We walk back to the room, eat, and knock out.

Saturday:

We all wake up around 10 and try to figure out what we are going to do. Our initial plan was to go to Wet Republic, but our friend being in jail was starting to fuck things up for us. Jonathan and I end up taking a cab to downtown Las Vegas to go to the jail to figure out how to get this guy out. There is confusion between what

has and what has not been done and we end up being there for a couple of hours. Long story short we end up walking down the street to a bail bondsman, posting his bond and getting picked up by our friend Edwin who was rented a car out here. This time Mario will for sure be getting out around Midnight. With most of the day

down the drain already we decided to tgo to the regular pool, but it takes us so long to actually make the decision when we finally get around to goin g there it seems as if everyone is leaving, so we say fucki it lets go get some liquor and just get ready for tonight. We walk all the way to Walgreens and get the bottle before we

realize that none of us had brought our Id's we had only planned on going to the pool initially so we left our wallets in the room FAIL, so we ask around if someone can buy the bottle for us but everyone seems leary... understandable i guess. Walk back to the room after our failed liquor attempt and just start getting ready for the

night. After getting ready we swing back by Walgreens and pick up a few bottles before heading over to Vdara to meet up with the rest of our party. We do our best to kill the bottles to the point where everyone is just leaning, then we hop a cab to the Venetian to get in line for TAO. Appaerantly this wasn't going to go down.

We hadn't inteded to get bottles but thats what it was looking like. So we coughed up the cash and got settled at our table up at the beach level. 1 bottle of Crown, 1 botle of Ketel One, that will get the job done. We meet our server and it turns out to be Jenny Chu, the import model. Jonathan and Edgar are flipping their shits trying to get pictures and autographs. I'm sure the other tables were wondering why we were so hyped about our server.



After a couple of drinks it was time for us to hit the dance floor. we all head downstairs and thats when the craziness began. DJ Vice was tearin it up on the 1's and 2's and the crowd was feelin it, the drummer he was with was also super on point. It was so crowded that you could not move. At one point I found myself dancing with a salvadorion girl which quickly turned into a making out/ groping session. We deemed this girl the slu, because she pretty much ran through our whole group, she was clearly on a mission for some "D" haha. Jag being as drunk as he was had the confidence to dance with any girl, even if she was dancing with her boyfriend, which is exactly what happened. He started dancing with some girl, the boyfriend started talking all this mess and Jag pushed the guy, the guy proceeded to punch Jag in the face, as soon as I saw this I was instantly in the guys face. I didn't see him trying to swing then haha little bitch... they both got kicked out but the party kept going. I don't really remember too many details, but I'm pretty sure I went up to the table a couple of times to keep the drunkeness going, then right back down to the dancefloor up until the point where the club closed.

The last 30 minutes of DJ Vice's set was sooo sick! I'm pretty sure it was dedicated to my group as we were clearly feeling it the most and were right in front of the DJ Booth. We stayed til the very end.

We got a cab back to MGM where we found Mario in our room, laying in bed looking sad as he was about to depart. Some of the guys were going to stay up another hour or so until nathan's hot dogs opened, which they did I think... but I knocked out immediately

[BigDex14]

Sunday:

After closing the club down the night before it was definitely a day to sleep in a little bit, it hat become clear to me that beach partys unfortunately would not be the theme of this trip. We all slept until around 2:00 and didn't leave the room until around 4:30 once we all got ready. We went to wicked spoon inside of the cosmopoliton, which was declicious. Mac and cheese bar is an A+ idea in my book, every buffet should have one. As the day was clearly already gone, it was time to get ready for going out again already. When we got back to the room, Jomar, Jonathan, and Edgar all decided to take blunts to the face in the bathroom lol.



Jason and I are just in the room pounding shots. Once they finish they join us for a little drinking and then we head out to the Bellagio so that we can go to the bank. Everyone is down to their last dollars so the GA line it is. we end up being there a little to early so we decided to gamble a little bit and lose track of time. A line had grown out of no where, so we break up into groups and get into line. We're in line for a while and its looking like maybe we should do something else when I get the bright idea of going on JC forums on my phone to find Norman Ly's phone #. I send him a text telling him I've got two and if he could do anything for me I would be greatly appreciative. He obliges and gets us right in! Thank you Norman! I give the phone # for Christian Guterrez to my friend hoping that he can get the same luck, but turns out they didnt need it. Jomar smooth talked 3 cougars that had been waiting in line in and they were in right behind us.



We hit the bar and then to the dance floor. Danced until about 3AM when we decided to leave so that Jomar Jonathan and Edgar could catch their 7AM flights comfortably. On the way back to the MGM we decided to grab some fatburger, so we went in got some food and walked the rest of the way back to the Hotel. The guys leaving showered up for their flights while they put me on research for pushing their flight to the next day, but it would've been $143 rather than the $50 we were hoping for. So they left, and Jason and I were solo again. SLEEP

Monday:

Today was obviously going to be a pretty chill day as our pockets were broken down and we were starting to feel the effects of being in Vegas for this long. Edwin was still in town staying at his time share so we could meet up and hang out with him. He wasn't hungry at the time that we called him so we hiked it over to Serendipty3 do grab some lunch and wait for him.



By the time we had finished our meal he was hungry now and in the area, so we crossed the street to go to the Burger King inside of O'sheas. Now with nothing to do, we just started to walk around. As we were walking by Rockhouse one of the workers offered us a free game of beer pong, so we accepted and played as we had nothing else to do. After the game was over we decided to buy their $20 bottomless beer wristbands that go from 6-9. We figured since it was 630 we could still get our moneys worth. We start pounding beers until 9 o clock and are feeling pretty good.



We walk back to Caesars to get Edwin's car and then drive over to PH, go to Pink's hotdog's once again as Jason has been begging for it again the whole trip. Get our hotdogs, scarf them down and then inside of the mall to visit the ABC store and get some souveniers for people back home. Edwin is tired and just drops us off back at the Hotel and at this point I am wanting to go out, but Jason doesn't..... I say fuck it, change clothes and venture out by myself. I have no cash, only the power of plastic so tipping won't be an option haha

I walk all the way to Marquee as I am dying to see DJ Vice again, but when I get there my chucks get denied #FAIL (They had worked all trip to this point). Not knowing what to do I start hiking towards the Mirage to visit Jet. I am given one of those reduced admission cards at the entrance and an open bar wristband to some random place accross from Jet. I go and get in line and then the line is purged and the doors are closed behind me, we were in there in no time and while everyone else is paying the bouncer directs me right inside for free! (Nice) So I get right to it, hit the bar and try the open bar wristband which at this point i didn't realize wasn't for Jet, needless to say it didnt work. So I bought a drink and then hit the dance floor. Nothing really crazy happened this night i just bounced back and forth between the bar and the dancefloor ripping it up until closing time. Then on the walk back I decided to stop into Rockhouse again as the music was pumping. I go in and right away they are playing my song (Teach me how to dougie) so I do my thing and start dancing with this girl from Cali who claims her little cousin is part of the pack (Vans) who goes crazy when they start playing it. Looking at the time and it says 5:00am I figured its a good time to head back so I hike all the way back to MGM and pass out.

Tuesday:

Last day, we clean our room... pack our belongings, shower and check out. Put our bags on hold and cross the street to check out tropicana, cross again and check out excaliber where Jason gets pizza hut. Then back to the MGM to meet Edwin who is giving us a ride to the airport. We stop at In N Out first and then its to the

Alaska Airlines Terminal, time to go back home.
