March 2012 Trip Summary
Group Description
Ok, I realize this took entirely too long to post this and truth be told, I wasn’t going to do a writeup, but as we plan this year’s trip, I’m remembering last year’s highlights and I’m just going to be sitting around for 3 weeks watching bowl games, so here goes……4 Guys from Chi-Town (ages 35, 39, 39, and 48) head to Sin City. Staying at the Venetian for the 1st time. Previously I’ve stayed at Paris 3x, Treasure Island 3x, Mandalay 2x, and Bellagio once. We arrive in March during the 2nd week of the NCAA Tourney and stayed Wednesday thru Monday (yes, it was about a day too long). Anyways…..let me give you a description of our group 35 yr old was white, single, tattooed, and does ok with the women, 39 yr old was a Mexican Pretty Boy, dresses to the 9’s), 39 yr old (me), white, sportsaholic, clean cut with a bit of a wild streak, and finally, the 48 yr old is 100% Italian, but looks more like the lovechild of Ron Jeremy and Gabe Kaplan (think Welcome Back Kotter Hair! LMFAO, but I’m not kidding), and he has the maturity and mentality of a 22 year old. I’m sure that by the description that I’ve given of him it wouldn’t surprise you that he’s a 2x divorcee. Oh, and did I also mention that he has an addictive personality, is generally obnoxious, funny, and is a degenerate gambler and alcoholic? (I’m sure you can see where this is going…) Also, all 4 of us make a solid buck, so we weren’t looking to do Vegas on a budget, but then again, we weren’t going to get a Penthouse Suite anyplace either. So……I guess I’ll break this thing down day by day…..
Wednesday
Fly out of Chicago on the 6:30am flight. So that put us up at about 3:30am (Hey F--k it, if you’re going, you may as well go early right?) We get to the Venetian at about 10am and check in and luckily they had our room ready for an early check in. So, we go up and unpack (of course we get lost for about 30 mins trying to navigate through that place….damn the rooms are a pretty far walk). Then we are all kinda tired since we haven’t eaten much & been up since 3:30am. So, the 35 yr old suggests we hop a cab and go to Hooters because the last time we were in Vegas for whatever reason, the wings there were better than at the Hooters in Chitown or anywhere else. So that’s what we do. I’ll post a video below of the rather interesting cab ride we had. LOLOLOLOL Of course, we get the fattest pig waitress there and the comments about how we hope this isn’t an omen for the trip start flying. We eat, the wings were nothing special this time and then we get the hell out of that dive of a hotel (How the hell does that place stay open? Ugh) As we wait for a ride we chat up 2 hook dawgs - a redhead and a black chick. If it was 5am and I was drunk and it was my last day in town, I may have considered the redhead, but that wasn’t going to happen seeing I just basically got here. We head back to the Venetian with full stomach’s, at this point, my roommate (I’m stayin with the 35 yr old dude) and I are kinda tired so we call our buddies and tell them that we are going to set the alarm for an hour and then we will call them after a quick power nap. Well…..2.5 hours later…….we get up……I text my Mexican buddy and he says they’re at the pool bar and he’s with 2 HOT chicks. So, we head down to the pool. Find my buddy talking to 2 chicks from some bumfuck town in southern Illinois. The 1 chick he’s hitting on has a decent face, but the body is below average (rating-chitown: 5/vegas:2 –I’ll be rating the women we meet throughout the write up). The other chick was redhead and way too fuckin pale (chitown:4/vegas 2). Of course I walk up and ask, “so where’s the HOT chicks? Lol The broads didn’t even catch on, my buddy’s laugh…..anyways, since I’m always a willing wing-man, I throw some cash down on the bar and order a round for all of us. I must stop at this point to give a BIG shout out to Natalie the bartender at the Venetian Pool Bar. So cool and so frickin HOT. OK, back to the story……my buddy keeps chatting up the brunette, her drunk redhead friend takes a quick liking to me. My 35 yr old buddy bolts for the pool to meet up with the old guy in our group. So….we start doing some shots, the redhead is overly digging me (Natalie rolls her eyes…lol). So, then her legs rub on mine. HOLY SHIT! You’d think that this broad could at least shave her frickin legs. Then I realize that her one hand is kinda fucked up all cracked and whatnot. I tell my buddy “dude, this ain’t fuckin happening…..lol…….Finally, I find a way to get out of there and head over to the pool area. The pool area is about 3/4 full with sunbathers. I walk around 2 full laps and I can’t find my 2 friends. Then I look up and realize that they’re the only 2 people IN the pool. Um….let’s just say that if the pool was crowded it wouldn’t really be an issue, but to be the ONLY 2 people in the pool they really weren’t wearing their guts too well…..anyways…..I sit down and start chatting up a 3some of hot chicks from Arizona (all 3 were at least chitown 8’s and Vegas 7’s). We have some drinks, hang out, and exchange numbers for a possible meetup later. Cool group of ladies. Sometime during all of this, my Mexican buddy comes over (wasted) and hangs out too. We decide to call it quits as far as the pool goes for the day when some old lady from Spain with leather skin from way too much long term sun exposure starts telling us what we should do and how we should live our lives….hey, screw you lady…… We shower & get changed and head to the casino where I teach the guys how to play Pai Gow Poker. After some gambling and (we all won a bit-I remember this because I only lost once at that table during my entire trip) we decide to think about dinner. It’s decided that we are going to check out Delmonico Steakhouse at the Venetian since the president of my company recommended that place. We get a reservation, and get ready and head there. The restaurant was nice, top notch service, but the food was just “ok”. In all honesty I expected a better meal. By this time it was decision time…to club or not to club….we chose to gamble and tone it down a bit because we were all exhausted.
