Halloween weekend TR
Well, there's no way I can top the LDW weekend - Female perspective thread. Disclaimer: I'm married and so were the two guys I went with. I wouldn't "cheat" and neither would the other two, as far as I know anyway. More on the "cheat" thing later. Edit: Just finished writing this up, holy crap that was longer than I expected.
Ted and I get to Vegas on Thurs night and meet at our hotel, the Venetian. We decide to get some grub and a few drinks at Sushi Samba because neither of us had eaten. Great sushi and drinks, service was a tad slow even though the place wasn't even that packed. We gambled a little but didn't feel it. My dad says don't gamble where you stay and I should've listened. Then we headed to TAO and since we were staying there, we got in faster. They had a hotel guest line. Pretty decent crowd upstairs, not too crowded. One girl starts talking to us and is real friendly. Her friend is the cuter one but we talked to this one for a few minutes. I told her we're going to walk around and then she says, "once you leave i'm done with you." "Lol, what? Who cares, I wouldn't hook up with you even if I was single," I thought to myself. We had a few more drinks then did some more gambling before heading to bed.
We hang out all morning then head to find a place to eat lunch. End up at Public House. Great selection of beer, had the Ballast Point Sculpin. We end up meeting Mike at the tables later and gamble some before dinner. No luck for any of us so we end up getting ready to go out for the night/dinner.
We end up at Cosmo and scope out the bars but they're all kinda dead, prob too early. We end up playing ultimate holdem which is a really fun table game. Ended up even for the trip after playing for an hour. Our dinner reservation was at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris. Had an awesome slow braised leg of lamb. It was way too much food though. I hate to eat a lot before going out to drink. They make some huge Goose & Tonics too. At this point I think I've had like 7. From here we headed to Hyde. I had text Greg Costello earlier and said we'd be coming. I asked for him at the door and he let us in right away. Thanks Greg! Hyde is fucking great! The ratio of girls to guys seemed to be more girls. Not like the sausage parties in DC. Friendly hot girls everywhere. Mike kept telling girls it was my bday and I can't even remember how many girls gave me a kiss. I also can't remember how many drinks he got me. I think the next day Ted said Mike and I had like a dozen just at Hyde. One girl seemed to be digging me but what could I do. At one point in the night, I go to light up a cigarette and it lit up like a torch. Everyone around me proceeds to look at me like I just killed a puppy. In my drunken state, I think "oh shit, maybe you can't smoke in here like DC." I throw it on the ground, step on it and took off to the bathroom. I come back and see two guys smoking so then I realize I was just really fucked up.
We decide to leave and as we come out of the bathroom Mike spots a girl and chats her up. After a min, we realize she's a pro. She says she's based out of Denver. So then drunk me asks her if she loves the Broncos as much as I do, lol. Mike is in another direction. "If I was a customer, I would be concerned with when the last time you gave a...?" I'm not sure what I can say on here. She says that'd be a valid concern and that it was actually earlier this afternoon. She seemed pretty cool about talking to us and answering all our questions. After that, we call up Rhino and ask for a limo. This is one of the best perks in Vegas if you're in to strip clubs, free limo ride and no cover. We get in and immediately find some hot dancers. Mike sees Ted and I talking to two and he hands them each $100 and tells them to take us to the back. We had a fun 15 min but mine kept talking about how she was getting her PhD. "Even if you are, you don't have to keep telling me," I keep thinking. After a few more drinks, I ended up with another dancer for quite some time. I should've just gone to the back, oh well.
We get in at about 5:30am and don't really get up until 4pm. All of us are pretty worthless even after resting all day. Can't really bounce back like we did when we were younger. Mike and I talked about how shaky we were all day. I guess that happens when you have like 20 drinks the night before. We did play Ultimate Hold em again and this time we sat with this really funny british couple. The guy laughs and smiles after Mike tells him his costume for Halloween is a breathalyzer. There's tube with a blow here sign at the crotch area. All you can see is two teeth! We leave to find a place to eat and end up at Postrio. During dinner, the other two talked about guilt. I thought it was kind of funny, why feel guilty? Our meal was good but the service was a little on the slow side. This did not help our lack of motivation/exhaustion to go out. At this point each of us jokes about how it wouldn't be a bad idea to just go to bed. Ted and I end up getting dressed up and meet Mike downstairs. Mike is not as excited about his outfit. On paper and in his head, it was much funnier. Maybe at the clubs it'd be funnier too but the Venetian was lacking costumed partiers. We attribute it to the older crowd. We try to get it together and head to TAO since it wouldn't require much effort. We look at the JC host list and see Matt Pearson. We ask if he's there and were told he wasn't at the moment. We say we just wanted to have a few drinks and then were prob going to crash. The guy (shaved head, beard, and glasses) was pretty cool and let us in no cover. We walk around, try to get it together but after one drink we knew it wasn't going to happen. It's about 2am and we all call it a night since Mike and Ted had 6 and 7am flights. We had to get out of Vegas because of Sandy on the east coast.
My flight was 8am. I'm a heavy sleeper so I decide I can't go to sleep and risk missing my flight. I owed it to myself to try and party too, but I did get back in to my reg clothes. I walked downstairs and wasn't feeling lucky so I said fuck it and called Rhino for a limo. I get inside and get bombarded by girls but this time it's weird because I'm sober. So here's where I have a lot of questions. A few asked me to buy them drinks and go to the back. I said I just got there and wanted to walk around. The first one was very persistent and was almost offended that I didn't want to buy her a drink. Why would I if I wasn't going to hang out with her? After about a dozen girls that I wasn't interested in, I found one that was pretty cute. We ended up talking for about a half hour before she asked if I wanted to go to the back. I suggest we go have a dance in the front first. Why risk $100 on someone that isn't good? She was good so we did end up in the back for a half hour. She was a hot filipino/spanish chick. I head out since it was 6 and that's when I wanted to leave for the airport. Got home, and now the guilt sets in, lol.
So I was never really a strip club kind of guy but I always went with friends if that was in the plans. I'd hang out and have a few drinks and enjoy the scenery. Now I have a "new appreciation" for it. I don't know if it's from being married, having kids or whatever. I mean I've always been a perv, lol. But I believe I'll always be a faithful perv. After I left the back, this girl asked if I had a good time and mentioned a tip for her and the door guy. I had never heard of this honestly. I did end up giving her some extra loot and she said $5 for the security was decent. How come no one else asked me before? I'm interested in what others think about this. What do other married guys do in Vegas? I know there are others who hook up, and I'm not one to judge. I'm just interested to see what others do. Vegas is like a huge c-tease if you're not going to be shady.
With all that said, we have to figure out when to go next year.
