So I wrote a trip report last year after my trip in May and had it saved in my draft box on gmail all this time. Seeing that my group along with some newbies will be in Vegas in a few months on the last weekend of April, it just feels right to post the TR. This is my first TR so go easy on me guys.
Me and my best friend from college, T, land into McCarran in the afternoon. Since we were there for MayPac weekend, our connecting flight from PHX to LAS was full of Mayweather supporters. Let’s just say it was a loud and entertaining hour in the air listening to people say how “Floyd was going to shine.” We arrive at McCarran and try to go find our friends who were flying in from different cities. Some miraculous coincidence, we all arrived within a half hour of each others’ flights. For some of the other guys, it was their first time ever in Vegas, so somehow they weren’t able to follow the simple task of following everyone else off their plane, to head towards the monorail. So I opted to take a cab by myself while T waited for everyone else since I was the one checking into the hotel and had to apparently pick up the CCTV tickets for the fight before 4pm, otherwise they would be released (which was complete bullshit since I saw people pick up their tickets at 8pm heading into the theater.)
I get the the Luxor and was thinking there would be an endless line to check-in. In fact, there were only 3 other people on the line. We chose to stay at Luxor for our first night and then switch over to Cosmo the remaining 2 nights of our weekend since every hotel rate on the strip was jacked up that weekend. Once settled into the room, I headed towards Criss Angel theater to pick up our CCTV tickets and then stopped by the convenience store in the lobby to grab a case of beer and some hard alcohol. Eventually the rest of the guys arrive. We all shower, get dressed, and head to the sportsbook to place some bets. We all know how uneventful the actual fight was, so I’ll skip that part.
After the fight, we head over to Light to meet up with Savs and Torebb for a table split. I had Noah set up a table for us that night. Both Savs, Torebb, and their group of friends were awesome to party with. Would definitely do a table split with these guys again in the future. We ended up with a 3rd tier front and center booth. Between 11 guys, we had a 4 bottles of goose, 2 Captain Morgan, and 1 patron. So we were fully stocked for the night. So the night goes on and my friend D, brings up some girls from the dance floor. Keep in mind this is D’s first time ever in a club, so his pick up line was, “do you want to head up to VIP?” I look over at the railing and I see D and one of the girls tongue wrestling each other, which went on for a good 20 minutes. To the point the girl had her hands going up his shirt and down the backside of his pants. They end up going somewhere, only God knows where, but eventually he came back by himself a half hour later. But he leaves again is no where to be found. In the meantime, T and I were playing wingman for D. Of course we’re all hammered by this point and I could barely stand up straight, so I’m sitting down and I look over at T with the girl he was talking to and he had lipstick all over his face. He looked like the joker. The night goes on, Alesso plays his set, which is pretty much the same as all his other sets that I’ve seen in the past.
It’s around 3am and T is beginning to pass out, and the security guards begin to notice. So I slip them a $20 every now and then so that they would turn a blind eye. Eventually my $20 tips ran it’s course, so they told me to get him out of there, otherwise they’ll throw him out. I grab T and we head out. On our way out, our other friend J was talking it up with some girl. So we just let them be. We make it back to the lobby of Luxor and we randomly bump into D aimlessly walking around, so I grabbed him and took him with us. T and D decide to stop in the convenience store in the lobby to grab some beer. They chug it down on the way up to the room. We’re all set to pass out, but D wouldn’t shut up and was obnoxiously loud to the point our neighbors next door called the front desk, and a security guard knocked on our door telling us to keep it down. D wouldn’t shut up afterwards, so we told him to just leave the room for a bit. About an hour goes by and I hear a knock on the door, I thought it was D, but turns out it’s J with that girl at the club. So J is engaged, but it was obvious he was hammered, so drunk J had taken over. I thought they were going to spend the night, but he said he needed to pick something up before he heads over to MGM, which was where she was staying. They leave and I fall back asleep.
The next morning, J walks back into our room and looks like shit. He didn’t remember much from last night, other than meeting a girl at the club, and then walking from the MGM to Luxor because the cab line was so long. I woke up still drunk, so I filled him in with everything I remembered. J was a complete mess (While I don’t condone cheating on significant others, gf, fiance, etc… it’s their life and they can do whatever they want. I’ll just make sure to have fun with the situation until we leave Vegas and then never speak a word about it ever again). I forgot to mention that T has a gf that he was dating for a few months. He wasn’t too upset about making out with another girl, probably because he was having enjoying making fun of J’s situation.) So after digging up songs about cheating on our iPhones for a good 15 minutes to play for J; J asks where D was? At that point it clicked… D never returned after he left the room last night. We try calling his phone, but it was dead. So he was sort of on his own. We just hoped he would eventually find his way back to our room before he had to check out and head over to the Cosmo. I decided to head down to the food court with T to get some McDonald’s breakfast because we felt it was an obligation since it’s been years since we last had it.
After devouring my egg mcmuffin, we made our way to the security area to see if D was in their custody. We told the security officer our story and asked if they had him or if he was transported to the hospital. She told us to wait a minute while she pulls up her list. She begins scrolling down a rather lengthy list for a few minutes. I glanced over at T and we both made the look of, “shit… you see the size of that list.” She said that he wasn’t reported as transported to the hospital. And she’ll send a memo to the LV police to see if they have him in custody. She joked with us that our friend D probably met some girl and went back to her place. So we decided to head back to our room to nap because we started sobering up and my body started to feel all the alcohol from last night…
