Only in vegas!!!

[AxelFoley]

Saturday morning has finally arrived! I wake up bright and early at 8:00. a.m. and start waking up the other guys and calling everyone else in the crew. We have a lily pad reserved at $2,100 and I don’t want to get there late. Last year we got there at 11:00 a.m. and by the time we got there, the host were acting reckless and not honoring the lily pad deal that I paid for online. They were talking about increased minimums AND shakes… they were the guys at the front of the line, not a forum recommended host. Fortunately, one host came over and got us a lily pad at $2100, but for a small shake. Either, way the experience left a bad taste in the groups mouth, but since I still love the energy of EBC, we decided to give it a shot this year, and this time I was making sure we were going to be there early!
A handful of guys from the crew were going to some reggae festival in the desert so 7 of us ended up heading over to EBC. B, D, L, G, H, P and myself. We head there at 10:15 a.m. and by the time we arrive at around 10:30ish or so, there is a small line, but we get in with no problems around 11:10 or so! The place isn’t anywhere near full, but we get excited since its EBC and Zedd will be performing. We order a bucket of beers, waters and a few of their delicious mixed drinks in pitchers to start off. In the meantime, a few of us head over to the grill to order some burgers since we can’t order food at the lily pads. The music is hip hop at this point and it is great. I’ve always appreciated that fact that the first half of EBC (before the headliner strolls in around 3 or so) is hip hop. As much as I love EDM, I really like hip hop and it’s great that a top notch venue plays it on a prime pool day.

After eating, we head back to the lily pad and relax while observing all the eye candy walking around. I can tell that the guys are weary from several Vegas events and are trying to gather up energy. By 12:30, the place is a starting to fill up nicely. And some of the guys decide to put in some work. P looks like he is fighting on for dear life and the whole damn has been nursing a bottle of rescue water. We cut him some slack and let me lay down on the bed. These two really cute girls come up to me and ask if they can store their stuff on our lily pads. I wasn’t porn last night, but I am feeling generous, and sometimes, it is hard to say no to really hot girls, so I tell them they can put their stuff on our lily pads for 10 minutes and they have to take it away or ill just place it on the floor. They agree thank me and jump in the pool. What I didn’t see if their 3 other friends come from nowhere and without saying hello, dropping their stuff on the lily pad as well. I stop the three and ask them what they are doing and why they put their dirty sandals on our lily pad (dirt from the sandal fell onto the lily pad, was kind of annoyed, and where do you even tract dirt from at a pool party!!) We fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.

D sees this, and it quick to lay down the law of the land and tell all of them to go somewhere else with their nonsense, but I tell him to chill out, it is Vegas and it is only 10 minutes. Like clockwork, he says cool, takes out his IPhone and sets his timer... he also sees the girls watching and points to his phone. I guess it is good for every group to have the bad cop. At the 10-minute mark he yells to the girl times up. They wave to him and swim away. He calmly gets up, gathers all of their stuff and places it a few feet away from our lily pad. That gets their attention and they up from the pool and get their things. I can tell they are pissed but they shouldn’t have tried to be so slick. We notice some sort of bachelorette party at the lily pad next to us so, me, D and B engage them. They tell us that they are all married, except for the last one in the group who is engaged. They all have MASSIVE RINGS. I can tell they are warried to well off men. But, they are fun so we chat with them throughout the day, plus, it is good to have friendly dialogue with your neighbors. A little while later, I see some guy come up to the lily pad and he starts flirting with one of the girls, he keeps trying to get a kiss but all he gets is the girls cheek, but she is loving the attention. L and H see this and determine the girls came to play in Vegas. A little while later, H is kissing one of the girls in the pool and L is making out with one on her lilypad.

Her friends are cheering and taking pictures. I hope they delete them before going back home!
D and I walk around the pool because that is the best way to meet a wide variety of people. We see these gorgeous tall blonde haired beauties with amazing bodies. They look like they might be from Sweden and the smile at us so we hone in and make a line straight for them. We were wrong, they are South African! They had really cool accents and we had a good enough time chatting with them that we invited them back to our lily pad. They have two other friends that we didn’t see who asked if they could come along. We take one look at these girls and they are equally hot and have nice smiles. They wave at us, and we say sure why not! We all walk over to the lily pad. We see B talking in front of us to a random group of girls and can see from a mile away that it isn’t going well so we pull him from the convo and introduce him to the South African crew. As we are walking back to our lily pads we see Serena Williams at one of the top cabanas. D waves to her and he swears that she smiled at him, at best, what I saw was a polite head nod, but after a few rounds of alcohol in our system, who knows who was right. He says he is gonna go up there and talk to her, I say that sounds like a bad idea. He says it is Vegas you never know, one of the security guard tells D, yeah… bad idea, listen to your friend, plus she wants to be left alone. He said it in a friendly way, D laughs and says he doesn’t like tennis anyways and we make it back to our lily pad. P is still pretty beat up and is now nursing a stella. H is still in the pool with the girl that was a part of the bachelorette party. L is back at the lily pad and we all chat with the South African crew. G leaves to go talk to some Asians he said he met a day ago (don’t even know when he had enough time to go meet them!) One of the South African girls is chatting with P who has mustered up enough energy to get up and chat with this girl.

Everyone is having a good time and the girls stay at our lily pad for what seems like an hour at this point. D ask if anyone has seen G, nobody has seen him, but we are not worried, another 15 minutes pass and nobody has heard from G. Soon a security guard comes up to us and informs us that G was escorted out because he was caught midstroke with one of the Asians girls in her Cabana….what!!!!!!? We ask if he is gonna be arrested and they say no. The security guard said that is the wildest thing he has seen, but unfortunately, that will land you a one-way ticket to the exit, but he did say he gave G the slow clap in his heard haha. We see if a $200 shake can keep him in but rules are rules I guess. G had all of his stuff on him with the exception of his sunglasses. We unanimously decide that we are still gonna stay and enjoy our time! L sends G and quick text saying to meet us at the Henry around 7:00 p.m.
I get the number of the South African girl I was chatting with and we agree that we will meet up tonight at Drais. Zedd comes on and kills it. Everyone goes crazy and has a good time. We mingle with more people and have a great time. H heads out at around 5:00 p.m. with the girl he was talking with from the bachelorette party. We chat briefly with this cool group of girls from Ireland. Unfortunately, we meet them while the place is closing down so we don’t have enough time to chat with them, D seems to be having bad luck with one of them. It is fun to watch. We grab out checks and head out. P who had a grand total of ¾ a can of stella and a rescue water puts down him $400+ share. He informs the waitress that he drank only 1 beer, and it was the most expensive beer he has ever had in his life. We had out to the cab line and go back to the hotel.

By the time we get there it is a quarter to 7, we see G at the bar not too far from the check in and ask him why that was a good idea! He says since he was sharing a room with P, he figured he didn’t want to sextile him from coming in, so it made the most sense to get it out the way at the pool party! I guess that makes sense. Such an altruistic guy. We high five him and head over to the Henri to fill up on food before napping in preparation for Drais tonight.

Also, we let him know that he owes us each $50 to cover his share at EBC, he isn't getting off that easy.

Hahaha unbelievable (yet quite disturbing) cabana scenes

Agreed.. some people have a YOLO attitude, and others are just way more savage!

[AxelFoley]

After we all leave the bar, we head to our rooms to rest up before Drais. Once I wake up around 9:30, I send messages to the group text. Ultimate, only me, L and H have enough energy to go. We go in general admissions around 11:15 and get in pretty quickly. I am starting to feel it after all the drinking so I make the responsible decision to only stick to water all night. We just hang out all night and listen to great hip hop music. At one point, the headliner, Travis Scott comes on and kills it. A very high energy performance. H orders whiskey with a splash of water. After finishing the cup he vanishes. L and I hang out in the outside area. It is nice to be outside instead of being blasted with AC. Vegas nights aren’t too bad. Plus there are tons of girls having fun in the pool. It is entertaining to watch them dance in there in dresses.

There is a small group of girls near us that come over and chat with us. I think both of us were fatigued and couldn’t muster enough strength to engage them well enough and they left after a few minutes. If only I had a bit more energy. We pretty much just people watch and sip water all night. It is a low key night since we are both low energy at this point. Finally, we decide to call it a night around 3:00 and don’t want to worry about long cab lines as the club empties so we start making our way out. We haven’t seen or heard from H in like an hour. I call his phone and he picks up. I say we are leaving where is he. He said finished that whiskey and it came back up so he gracefully exited and went home.

L and I get to the cab line and while waiting we chat with these cool British girls behind us. Apparently they were in Vegas for 8 days and this was their last night. I don’t know how these European groups can spend such a long time in Vegas.. more than 2-3 days and I start to go crazy! They invite us to come grab drinks with them at some bar at the Aria where they are staying, they were meeting up with some more of their girls.. The mind is willing… but the body is weak!!! We both pass after thinking about if for a split second and head back. I literally would have passed out on the casino floor of the aria if I went there. The thought of more drinking made me too nauseous. My comfortable bed was calling me and that is where I went….

Next up:

The final day… Wet Republic….or not?

[AxelFoley]

The last day of Vegas… after already being here for three full days, the last day couldn’t come fast enough, but also, it is a bittersweet moment knowing that even though everyone is exhausted, this is great times and we won’t be scheduled to return here until next year. I send the customary wake up calls and text to every and walk up my roommates to drum up support for WET republic. I have a daybed reserved. I realistically expect 5-6 people to make it to this event since I know folks are tired and last year we did 4 days, everyone was too tired to do Wet except for L so we skipped out an did the pool bar. I delightfully find that G and B are at the Henri eating breakfast. L and D say that they will come to WET so I head do to Henri to grab a bite with G and B and try and convince them to come. These guys are eating steak and eggs and drinking beers at 9:00 a.m. I have eggs and fruit and OJ because this early in the morning, the thought of beer makes me sick. They decline to come out to WET and decide they are going relax at bars and walk the strip in order to save up their energy for night swim. Besides, L & D everyone declines WET… at the last minute J says he will roll through. Looks like there will be for of us.

I tell J to meet us downstairs at 10:30. I go back upstairs after I eat and hop in the shower. L & D are finishing up room service and watching some TV. As soon as I get dressed, we head downstairs around 10:30. We don’t see J. I call him and he says he is playing roulette. I ask him how he is doing, we have to roll. He says oh yeah, I’ve lost about $400 this morning, I will see you guys at night swim. FFS!!! Come on man! So the three us head to WET for our day bed reservations. We get to the hotel and perhaps we got off at a bad entrance but it seemed to take FOREVER to get to WET. There aren’t too many people in line. Soon enough we start seeing some talent come in. We are not sure whether we want to spend $1,000 on a daybed for a place that might not be jam packed and tons of fun, also, we want to make sure that out daybeds have umbrellas since we have seen a few pics where there were no umbrellas on the daybeds. I assure they other guys that I have seen more than enough SPYONVEGAS pics for WET on Sundays to determine it will be a good time but they aren’t convinced. So I say, one of us will go to the GA line since it isn’t long and will scout. L volunteers. He actually convinced the guy to let him see how it looks inside. He can’t go all the way in but he gets up to the ticket counter inside and see part of the place. He comes back and says he couldn’t see all the way in but there is some talent there, the place isn’t packed at all (but it is 11:00 so not a big deal) and there is no shade in the umbrellas.

We decide we aren’t going to say pay $1,000 for a daybed with no shade so we all do General admissions. We get to the place and the umbrellas do in fact have shade!!! Worse recon scout ever, L. we only paid $40 and we decided that unless we plan on hanging in the bar area, we should just get the daybed. I text the host I reserved the daybed through via WET;s website (couldn’t find a host in time through the forums… I will for next time though) and let him know we are in WET, thought the reservations were for another day can we get reimbursed the general admissions tickets. He says sure come back to the table line so we can chat. I go out there while D & L stay in. We shows me the location of the table and I ask to see it in person, I know D & L didn’t want to be off in the middle of nowhere daybed wise. The guy shows us the daybed location once in WET and it is in crappy location farrrr away from the pool. Additionally, it is in the last row of daybeds in the far location. We ask if we can get a better location, he says for a shake he can get us the daybeds a little closer or for a higher minimum ($2000) we can get the daybeds right next to the pool.

I say can we give you a good shake and you give us the daybeds near the pool with a slightly lower minimum. The host says, where have you heard of lowering a minimum on the real estate in Vegas! D says, Tao Beach, EBC, MDC, Daylight and every pool party and club we have ever been to. The host gives him a blank stare and he says well we cant do that.. the price is the price. L walks off for a few minutes to chat on his phone. D doesn’t want to pay $1,000 for a horrible location so L comes back and says we will pass on the day bed to the host. The host says you guys just going to do GA and get burned up in the sun? L says nope, just locked down a $500 daybed at MDC…the look on the host face is priceless!

We head out and wait in the cab line to go to MDC. The legendary Cliff Orr has come through once again. We head in and for his awesomeness, I slide him a $100. When host do that type of hook up last minute and don’t even expect a tip (he remembered us from Friday and Friday night and we tipped him well) it makes you want to tip them even more. He thanks us for the tip and says he will send up a bottle of champagne. We have a daybed right near the pool. Literally 2 feet away. It has no umbrella but the clouds are doing a decent job of blocking the sun most of the time and for $500, who cares! We order drinks and start to chill. We relax on the couch and order food and drinks.

Soon we start socializing with the girls in the pool next to us and the good times roll! The music is great since the DJ is playing hip hop! L brings back a group of girls from San Diego and we chat with them for a bit. L & I are chatting to ourselves for a bit and enjoying the music and D is really focused on one of the girls from San Diego. L taps me on the shoulder and says that girl is smiling at you. I see a girl near the steps into the pool and she waves. So I go over and chat with her. I notice a guy next to her but don’t think much of it. As we start chatting more and more the guy next to her gets closer to her and then taps her on the leg and ask her if she wants a drink. She says okay and he leaves the pool. I tell her to slide over and I sit down. She and her friend are celebrating her 24^th birthday. They are from Madrid. The girl is really pretty and has really amazing brown eyes. The guy comes back with drinks for her and gives it to her. I still chat with her and he starts rubbing her knees. Then he rubs her arms and she swats him away. I say I will be back so that I can give the guy a chance to work his magic… he was there first and I don’t want to be THAT guy.
I go back to D & L who are enjoying themselves with the San Diego girls. L points to the Spanish girl and the guy she was talking to is clearly upset with her and saying something to her but she seems to be ignoring her. Her friend grabs my arm and pushes me towards her friend. So I figure I gave the guy a chance and it wasn’t working, so I can make my move. I tap her on the shoulder and say man, your bf seems kind of mad, do you guys want some of the pitcher that we ordered? She says the guy isn’t my bf, I just met him an hour ago and we cant take a hint. So I hold my and out and she steps out the pool and join us at our daybed. The look on that guys face… smh.

We are all drinking and dancing and she says it is getting hot lets go in the pool near the steps. All I remember is the song “One Dance” by Drake coming on and she started giving me a lap dance. After about 30 seconds one of the security guards comes to me and says, I’m sorry to do to this to you buy you can’t get a lap dance in the pool man! She doesn’t seem to hear to hear the guy so I stand up and tell her lets chill deeper in the pool! The pool at MDC is really cold!!! But it feels good in the heat.. especially when the clouds break and the sun is beaming down on everyone.

At this point the party is in full gear! I did not know how high energy MDC was on a Sunday! Before I know it the Spaniard is kissing me. A few moments later she puts her hands down my pants.. whoaaaa, I like aggressive women, but I actually felt like a piece of meat at that moment! I told her to chill out a bit, and she says we should hang out in her hotel room after this. It is 5:00 p.m. and I look at my friends, they are doing their own thing with the SD girls. The Spaniard wants to go now, I tell her I am staying at the Cosmo, let’s upstairs and plus I have my condoms up there (safe sex is great sex!). We leave, I give D $250 to cover my portion and head upstairs. 40 minutes or so later I hear L & D come up with the sound of girls voices. I turn on my TV and put up the volume so I don’t hear anything I don’t want to from my roommates and their guest. The rest of the day is a wrap.

Next up: Last but not least, XS Night swim!

[LXJEDi]

Good to know MDC is lit on a Sunday, strongly considering it for my upcoming trip as I will be at the Cosmo. Who was the DJ, you think the huge draw was DJ dependent or usually the case?

Well done rallying the troops too, and I bow to your skillz with the Spaniard, bring on XS Nightswim!

Thanks. Things were rough Sunday morning. Those parties take their toll on the body but sometimes you got to suck it up, right?

I was surprised at how live Marquee was on Sunday. It wasn't as packed as it was Friday, but still a good turnout. I don't remember who the DJ was, but I think that is usually how the turnout is on a Sunday and not because of the specific DJ. If you are staying at the Cosmo, I'd suggest you check it out because it is a great time and nothing beats being able to walk down from your hotel room to a great pool party!

[AxelFoley]

After a brief nap, everyone sends there guest off for the night and we regroup to gear up for night swim. Everyone is on board for this event. At around 9:30 we all meet up at some spot in the Cosmo and eat bar food and lightly drink. We set up a table through the legendary Bobby Y… I’ve used him a lot before and he lives up to his reputation. We jump in the cabs and head to night swim. Dillion Francis is spinning. I haven’t really listened to him and didn’t know what to expect. Once I saw all the talent walking in with swim attire and the long lines waiting to get in, I knew it would be a fun night. We call up Bobby Y and a few minutes later he pops up greets us and before you know it we are at our table near the pool!! Great location, about a row back from the edge of the pool. Tons of traffic and right near the action. We order some drinks and the place fills up pretty quickly.

Within a matter of minutes guys in the group are talking to girls and inviting them for drinks. I really just want to relax so I hop into the pool and lie on one of the floats. Before I know it the place is packed. I go back to the table and grab myself a vodka red bull and go back in the poo on the floats. The music is blasting and everyone is having such a great time. I am lying on this things being pushed by everyone. It feels so great. I should have grabbed a can of beer instead of a drink because all the splashing is too much and my cup is now 50% pool water. It doesn’t matter because im on cloud 9. Some girl starts chatting with me on her flotation thing. I’m half paying attention, half just trying to enjoy not having a care in the world… Next thing I know she is trying to get on my float as well. That doesn’t work, and we both go in the water. I laugh it off and chat with her for a bit. Before I know it, some other girl takes the float and is enjoying it. It was fun while it lasted.

The girl ends up being really cool. She here for her early 20 -something birthday and invited me to her table. I politely decline because I really enjoyed being in the pool that moment and the music. So we say goodbye and she heads back. L & B are in the pool too mingling and enjoying the music as well. I turn back and see a bunch of girls in our area talking my friends. Everyone seems to be having a great time. The DJ is killing it, everyone is really friendly, im enjoying the pool because it is warm (unlike the freezing cold pool at marquee!) We mingle with more groups of girls. Some guys do their thing and vanish from the group. As things come to a close, P finds some girl to hook up with. We tell him that isn’t a good idea because it is 4:30 and he has a 6:00 a.m. flight. Naturally, he doesn’t listen and heads back to the hotel with this girl (he definitely misses his flight…. Also, who books a 6:00 a.m. flight when they know night swim is the night before… that is too close for comfort in my opinion. I see D making out with some girl and heading back with her and I just keep the convo casual since I am really exhausted after 4 days in Vegas. We all head back to the room and get ready for our 8:30 flights. At this point, I am all vegas’d out and can’t wait to leave this place… Until Next time Las Vegas!!
Final Thoughts:

• Don’t be afraid to talk to any girl (or guy) because you never know what can happen. I’ve a handful of close friends over the years in Vegas by just going up and introducing myself. The worst that can happen is you get a shot down and keep moving.
• I know with a 4 day trip the mentality is to pace yourself because “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” but sometimes that is easier said than done. It’s difficult to fight the urge to “pace yourself” when you are fighting going balls to the wall because it is Vegas
• Don’t book 6:00 a.m. flights on any day.. especially after night swim!
• Just enjoy yourself! When people see you are having a good time, they naturally gravitate towards you.

Hope you enjoyed the read!

Damn I'm tired just from reading these!!! Sounds like a great and expensive time but great!!! And big ups to you for just conversing with the ladies sometimes. Its fun meeting people from all over the world.... And I'm gonna guess or at least HOPE that those ladies with the massive rings were "faking marriage with a ring" just to not get hit on and then ending up with some YOLO... Who the hell knows though lol... Ugh 21 more days til I'm back again
