    Alright this is not gonna be my best work because the weekend was too much of a blur but here’s my best shot

    Setting – 8 guys staying at Cosmo for Cinco De Mayo/fight weekend. I also know a couple of other groups going

    Friday
    I arrive first in the late morning and head to Cosmo to drop off my luggage. Then head to PH to go gamble because I hate Cosmo’s casino and I never win there. Gamble until 3 of my friends get there in the early afternoon. At this point up around 300 or so. We get checked in and then go eat Panda express (mistake) before going to gamble some more at PH. Gamble until dinner time and we eat at Holsteins before pre-gaming and waiting for the rest of the group to come in. We considered going to Gallery but this chick from my HS tells me her group is going to Marquee so we just say fuck it and let’s go to Marquee. Don’t remember too much from Marquee but we spent most of the time in the hip-hop room and the outside patio area by it. Apparently Marquee was just ok that night. I end up being occupied by the girl from my HS but her friends make her leave with them. We hit up the pizza place and gamble a bit and then crash

    Saturday
    We have a couch at Tao Beach so we get up at a decent time in the morning. There’s a few Vegas Virgins on the trip so we make the walk from Cosmo to over by Venetian so they can see the Strip. On the way there we run into a degenerate Winnie the Pooh who is lying on the sidewalk with a bottle.

    Also this older lady grabs my friend and starts praying for him, it was weird. We eat the mall and then get lost in Venetian trying to go to Tao Beach (am I the only one who thinks the Canal Shoppes are mad confusing?). We finally make it to Tao Beach and check-in and we get placed at a corner couch by the bar. At first I’m not sure what to make of the location but it ends up being perfect.

    The couch next to us is this group of 3 English guys who are crazy and we talk and drink with them for a bit before TB gets really rev’ed up -

    Because we are by the bar we get a lot of traffic by our table and end up making friends with 2 separate groups of girls.




    At this point we are a few pitchers in (frozen RBV FTW!) and the party is really starting to get good. Our group is acting dumb and doing dances like the Discount Double Check the remix - http://youtu.be/RxYJb2ScuXM

    Some of my boys end up making out with some of the chicks and we end up getting massages as well. We met our minimum and closed out around 430 when we were about to leave until another group next to us has a bunch of beer left and they say they need a few more for flip cup -

    My team ends up winning all 5 games and we start calling ourselves “The Money Team”

    We stumble out of TB and somehow make it back to Cosmo. Some people go gamble and eat while others are dead in the water. We were planning to go to Tryst at first but a lot of folks tapped out and then I found out a group I knew from college was getting a table at 1OAK.

    Me and the other person in the group who I went to college with (Mike) are able to get in with them on the table. Right upfront my friend from college makes it known that we won’t be paying anything since he’s up like 15K, he actually says “fuck you” when we ask how much is our cut gonna be. This was my first time in 1OAK and while it still looks like Jet in some places, I did like how it looked overall.



    We had a table right by the dance floor and the host invites some attractive ladies to our table. My boy got two Magnums of Goose and some Patron so we didn’t mind the help and the girls seemed cool and not bottle rattish. Me and Mike end up talking to 2 friends and me and this chick really hit it off. I was really smitten and I may have been drunk enough to pull one of those Vegas marriages (half-kidding)

    They disappear for a bit and I end up talking to these Australian girls at the table next to us but they were acting funny and hating on the girls we had at our table. The girl I had it hit it off left with her friend because her friend was sick. After the bottles are done we leave and the college group heads over to the Rhino while me and Mike go back to PH to win some more money and meet up with some of our boys who hadn’t gone out. We gamble for a while but I’m tired so as soon as I get cold I leave. I’m toasted at this point and on the way back to Marquee I get some candy and go back to the room. I end up really gone and end up drunk texting way too many people. I eventually pass out

    Sunday
    Sunday was pretty much a lost day for me. I’m still gone at brunch at Grand Lux and I can barely eat anything. Back in the room I accidentally drop my cologne bottle on the counter and it explodes and cuts up my hand. My boys go to Walgreens to get some first aid stuff and I end up like this -


    I feel like shit from the night before and now I’m injured so I just chill in the room and watch the NBA playoffs. Later I’m feeling a lil better so I decide to join the group to watch Avengers. Never thought I’d watch a movie in Vegas but it was good and I was pretty Vegas’ed out at this point.
    That night some of my boys go to Vanity but I wasn’t up to it so I gambled a bit with one of my friends Couldn’t even really drink and I kept losing so went back to Cosmo and passed out.

    Overall a great trip with some bumps. Special shout-out to Chris at Tao Beach. We had a great time and the service was great.

          Great TR man...you're dedicated cause there's no way I could have a TR within a week of leaving Vegas! You seemed to have reinforced why I don't do Tao Beach over the others on a Saturday...I'll hit it if there's a big guest, but my experience has been hit or miss. And the same goes for 1OAK, now that I know its really Jet v2.0. You coming back thru in July?

            If I don't do it early it'll never get done.

            Tao Beach was a blast. The pics may not do it justice but that's mainly bc we weren't taking pics when it was really cracking. I did it Saturday on July 4th last year and had a blast too. Off pure size and quality of girls it may not compare to Wet or ECB but I've honestly had the best times there because of the energy and the music and never have problems meeting attractive girls there (closing is a whole nother matter though lol)

            I wouldn't quite call 1OAK Jet 2.0. The room set-up is definitely different and the club seems more catered towards VIP. The crowd def isn't a Jet crowd either haha. IMO it's def worth checking out if you're looking for a nice club that isn't exclusively EDM.

            Probably can't make it in July but I'm still waiting to see what my sched is gonna be. I would love to go back for July 4th. Hell I would love to go back this weekend haha
