Thursday 6th September – Thursday 13th September
Hotel: Mirage
Group: Me, Chris, Kev
Leave UK on the Thursday morning for Chris and my 4th trip and for Kevin’s inaugural trip. 3 bottles of Belvedere purchased for the pre-gaming in the rooms in preparation. As excited as ever, we got into the party mode from the outset and took advantage of the free bar on board the British Airways flight. The flight seemed pretty quick and before we knew it we were beginning our descent. Couldn’t help but notice radical changes to Mccarron Airport upon arrival, for the better as well, I thought the place was rundown in comparison to other major airports. The taxi line was huge, so we went for the Limo. Quick stop off for some more drinks and mixers and off to the Mirage. We all tried the upgrade Sandwich, but the girl I got obviously got out the bed at the wrong side and wasn’t having any of it. Chris managed to get a fridge at least. First thoughts of the hotel, nice, rooms were very nice but just didn’t get the same vibe as Planet Hollywood & PH Towers where I’d stayed previously. We got ourselves sorted out and headed to Chris’s room to polish off some Vodka prior to Tryst later on.
We had sorted out most of our nights prior to flying over and this was largely down to the fantastic support from Joey Orr – great guy!! We had a Moet & GG deal at Tryst and we had a good night here, this night broke us in nicely and we finished the drinks off and mingled with the crowd and exchanged some numbers. I proceeded to hit the tables at Wynn at soon turned $200 into $2000, which was a bonus. Headed back into Tryst, got some more drinks and foolishly decided to go gamble some more. I decide that all 4 $500 chips were going on one hand. Consequently I headed back to Tryst with my tail between my legs ( and 2 free buffet vouchers at the Wynn) – pretty good deal if you ask me! We decide to call it a night, we were heading to Ditch the following morning.
Day 2,
Everyone is feeling pretty fresh, we head to the Palms for about 11am, Joey had sorted us out a daybed there through Phil Loomis. The place was pretty dead when we got there, but we relaxed for a bit and before too long, the place was filling up quite nicely. We were chatting to a large group of Irish Girls who seemed to be enjoying the party. Our 1 bottle, soon turned to 2 and we are all well into the party mode! Phil then brings over Joey who has come down to see how we were getting on, he then gets the shots out and we are all having a great time! So me and Chris are getting on particularly well with 2 Irish girls who were conveniently staying at the Palms. A bit of synchronised action takes place over the next hour before Chris and I head to the Wynn to take advantage of my $2000 for 2 Wynn Buffet. We were wearing vests and the only way we were getting in, was if we bought some t-shirts. They only had smalls left and to say we looked absolutely ridiculous in matching tight t-shirts would be an understatement. Anyway we got in, the food was great and we stagger back to the Mirage talking to groups of people about absolute nonsense en route. We crash out for a bit and we are supposed to head to Haze later but we can’t get a hold of Kev and bottle service between 2 was going to be too pricey. Chris and I decide to head to Surrender. It wasn’t packed but we had a good time here, it didn’t take too long to get in the zone again and I don’t remember much for a couple of hours. We head back to the Mirage and head to one of the bars there. Chris starts chatting to a couple girls and I start chatting to some crazy guy about American Politics??? WTF? I head to the toilet and catch the eye of a girl at the bar. She follows me to the toilet and we start hitting it off. I buy her 3 male friends a drink and precede to sweet talk this girl from Arizona. Convince her friends to leave without her and eventually head back to my room to get to know each other a bit better. A good day all round
Day 3
Wake up at 10, need to be at Marquee Dayclub for 10:30, Joey’s brother Cliff Orr sorted this for us and he said he expected this place to sell out by 11:30. Eventually get Kev out his bed and head for MDC. We get a great water daybed thanks to Cliff and get back on it! When Cliff said he expected to sell out by 11:30 – holy shit he was right! This was our first time here and we have never seen a pool party as packed as this. Understandably it’s smaller than EBC but the ratio here was insane. Every bed beside us was a bed full of girls. Chris was in his element. I was feeling like shit, but the place was bouncing and I soon perked up. Nicky Romero was on the decks, I wasn’t too convinced but the crowd loved him. Cliff came by to see how we were getting on which was good of him, we were having a great time. These crazy Californian girls hover about our bed for most the afternoon, one of them older than my mother, we enjoy their company regardless and I even receive a back massage from the GILF. Don’t know where the time goes but we were so drunk, we called it a day at about half 5 and start making our way back to the Mirage. We meet a group of hot Mexican girls who are heading to XS later and we exchange numbers and head our separate ways. We had planned to go to Hyde tonight but we crashed out and missed our table. It was 1am and I am feeling like shit, Chris and I head to 1OAK, paid $40, bought 1 $15 drink, take 1 sip and decide I’d had enough. Not my type of music and I’m feeling awful. Walk through the casino, gamble, lose and head back to bed. Not the best way to spend a Saturday night in Vegas.
Day 4
Wake up bright and early, we have a lily pad at Encore Beach Club. Arrive at 11:30 and it looks pretty slow. We are told it would be a slow day because of it being Labor Day Weekend the previous weekend but this doesn’t bother us. 2 bottles of GG ordered and we are on our way again. The place ends up pretty busy, its such a beautiful pool – our favourite. Next year hopefully with a few more recruits we will get a Cabana. We get into the party spirit and Chris approaches 3 absolute Cougars who are sat beside our bed. 3 of them, 3 of us, they seem pretty keen, and we are hitting it off with them. The Californians from MDC end up looking to leach onto our bottles again AND the Irish girls from Ditch were behind them looking at our bed as if we should offer them a sea. Not today girls. End up very drunk again, throw my underwater camera into the pool so hard it bounces off the floor and breaks. Fuck. No more pics. Probably a good thing because things are getting pretty heated in the pool and a couple of lifeguard whistles later and we are given 1 final warning. Don’t remember much after this, end up with the Cougars number and they want to head out with us later. We had planned to go to the Bank, but everyone was talking about the Nightswim at XS – where Prince Harry was on top form. Julian Hapitana?? At EBC, whom we’d met earlier managed to sort us out a table at the very last minute. It wasn’t a great spot but never mind. It felt weird showing up to a club wearing swim gear but we soon got over this. The 3 Cougars show up at the door and manage to blag their way in hassle free. They join us at the table and tuck into the Champagne. The one I’m with then asks if I had ever been to LA, I say no and she then asks if I’d like to. It was Sunday and I was due to fly to London on Thursday but before I’d finished explaining she had booked me onto a flight on the Tuesday morning, returning on Wednesday afternoon. I wasn’t sure what I was letting myself in for here but fuck it, I’m going to LA. The other 2 are getting on just as well with theirs as I am with mine, but suddenly Chris’s says she has to head back because her dog is in the room. WTF?? Kev’s and Chris’s then bugger off back to the hotel and mine decides she is staying. Kev and Chris decide to try out the nightswim and I get to know the Cougar a bit better back at the Mirage. Crash out and she heads back to her hotel after telling me not to miss my flight on Tuesday before heading back to LA.
