  • First time vegas MDW2013

    Right off the bat, please pardon my english and my poor writting skills!

    5 guys from canada, 3 from Montreal (Me, my roomate and a former co-worker) 1 from toronto and 1 from vancouver.
    We all work together in Saskatchewan except the former coworker; he moved back to Montreal last year. Anyway, all in our 20s ranging from 21 to 26. First time in vegas for myself, my roomate and the vancouver guy.

    Thursday: All of us are flying from Saskatoon except one guy who was flying from Montreal. The montreal guy gets there about 5 hours before us. We took off at 3pm landed in Sin City at 9pm. Flight was good, chatted with the girl beside me, she was going for a bachelorette with 10 other girls and staying at Aria. She gives me her number and tells me shoot here a text sometime over the weekend. As she gives me her number I notice the HUGE rock on her finger. Damn! Oh whatever, she might have some cute friends.

    Anyway, we grab a cab (there was absolutely no line, perfect!) and we are on our way to the MGM. We get there and the check in counter is pretty much empty, try a sandwich, failed miserably and check in into our standard room. We are all on the same floor, 18. Nice view, room is fairly big. I like it. We didnt have anything planned on thursday as we were getting in vegas pretty late.

    By the time we all change and what not, its 10:30. The guy from Montreal that was there before us is already hammered at this point, so time for us to plys the catch up game. We decide to gamble a bit at the MGM. I'm up by a few hundreds and we decide to go walk the strip.

    We stop at literally every bar we see to grab a drink and we just enjoy ourselves, walking and talking to random people, most of them very friendly!

    I forgot to mention, it is toronto guy's bachelor party. So we gave him a list a challenge he had to do during the weekend. One of them was to bartend for a few minutes at a random bar. He tries to convince the bartender to let him do it but it's not working. So at one point, we stopped in a mexican bar (cant remember the name) and I distracted the bartender while he went behing the bar and started pourring those big yardstick slurpees. Needless to say that we got kicked out of there in no time! We had a good laught though.

    Around 2:30, the bachelor wants to go to a strip club, so we called the limo to go to Treasure's. I know it's not suppose to be the best, but I liked the place and the girls were good looking. We got there and got tired of standing around so we got a table. Bad idea! We really didnt more booze at that point. The rest of the night is kind of a blur but I remember going upstairs with one of the girl and went back downstair an hour later without any money haha.

    My former co-worker spend the whole night with the same dancer and at the end she didnt charge him anything. She even went back to the hotel with us. I was in the same room as him so the 3 of us go back to the room and she started dancing for us. Cool, a free strip show! (well, when i think about it it wasnt completely free..she decided to open every single liquor bottle in the mini fridge and that 40$ gift box with 3 condoms, a feather and a pair of dice in it.) After some fun with the stripper, we all go to sleep around 7.

    Friday: I wake up at 10 and no sign of a hangover. Good! We kick the stripper out of the room and go check on the other 3 guys. As we walk out of the room we see one of the other 3 coming back from the lobby. We ask him what he was doing. He can barely talk and tries to tell us that he just got back to the hotel but he has no idea was he's been up to. lol. So he goes to his room to sleep. Cant wake up the 2 other ones so we go to the pool to grab breakfast. Around noon i can feel a headache coming, i'm sobering up. Can't let that happen so i grab myself some redbull vodka and get at her again. The other 2 guys show up at the pool around 3 but by that time me and my buddy are sick of being at the pool so we tell them were gonna meet up later.

    We decided to walk over to mandalay bay check out the shark reef. Then we head to the burger bar and i treat myself with their kobe burger. Was it good? Sure. Was is worth $60? Hell no! But now i can say I tried it. After that we go and check out Minus 5. I glad I experienced it, but don't think I'll go again. It is a lot smaller then I thought.

    Go back to MGM around 5. We have supper a STK at 7:30 so I hit the craps table to kill some time. I did really good and im up about 600-700. I did not do quite as good as the guy right beside me though, he hit the All or Nothing twice within an hour! and it pays 176 to 1. He won about 4g in an hour. I couldnt believe it.

    Because I was doing good at the table, I didnt want to leave to go get ready and we ended being late to go to STK. It's already 7:30 and we are still at MGM. Go outside to catch a cab and the line is about a mile and a half long. Asked the guy for a limo to make it quicker, he says they are all taken. Gave him 40 bucks and suddenly a limo appears!

    Get to STK about 15 minutes late, and get seated right away. I really enjoyed the place. beautiful people, ambiance is good and I really liked the food. Had the tuna tartare, petite filet with lobster mac and cheese, asparagus and garlic mashed potato. It was delicious. Next time I will go a bit later though, it was still pretty quiet in there at 7:30-8.

    We finished supper around 9:15. So we go downstairs to the Vesper bar and the chandelier to kill some time before surrender. I play some baccarat and win again. I'm feeling lucky today. At 10 we leave and go to Encore. When we get there, Anthony K is not there yet, I text him and he says he'll be there a 10:30. 10:30 sharp, he shows up and gets us seated at our table (25) in no time. The place looks great, i'm pretty drunk at that time and i'm really enjoying myself. My first time doing bottle service and I felt like a king! The place is pretty dead at 10:30 so I go play some blackjack. When things start to pick I come back to the table and we really start to destroy those bottles. One of the guy kept bringing girls to the table, which was awesome at first, but then he just kept going and going. He was not even trying to get to know the girls or even picking some that looked like they were genuinely interested in us more than the bottles. So at one point there was so many bottle rats at the table, thank god for security who really help cleaning up. I remember when Prydz got on but after that, all i remember is some pieces of the night. I remember being up on the couch dancing with some girl (why on the couch...no idea). I also remember going on the dancefloor a couple of times and at some point being at the very first row in front of prydz. It was kinda packed but we were still able to make our way to the dancefloor really easily so it was pretty nice.

    I do not remember when or how i got back to the hotel, but i remember going to the craps table, drunk as fuck...not a good idea. All the tables were full except the $100 table so i started playing there. Lost a LOT of money. At some point, a gorgeous blonde from NY comes to the table and ask me if she can throw the dice. I explain to her that the pit boss would not let her if she's not playing and blablabla. I tell her the table has been horrible so far and she says she's just gonna watch for now. When my turn comes, she kisses me and tells me it for good luck. After a couple throws the luck doesnt seem to turn around, but i dont really care. At that time I just want to throw a 7 and get out of there with her. Finally leave the table and go back to her room around 6. It made me forgot about all the money i'd just lost. Overall it was an awesome night.

    TBC.

    Hey! I hope there's more...your English is fine...
    basically you don't remember anything except drinking too much & bringing girls to your room each night
    In my dreams - that's a great Vegas trip!

      Great report. I really like the way it's comprehensive and gives reviews of things like burger bar and the time to get to stk etc
      EastCoast: "I will preach. Vegas is easy. So easy. Either be rich or good looking (or mooch off someone who is one of those). If you are neither, then sit back, let the rich and/or good looking people sort their shit out, and then take their scraps. Booking early is not going to get you ahead of the rich and/or good looking people. Sucks unless you are rich or good looking. But that's what makes Vegas so great. It is completely transparent."

                      Ok lets try to finish this. Saturday and sunday were a lot less memorable, but lots of fun nonetheless.

                      Saturday: Wake up late (around 1). Go wake up the other 4 guys and everyone is craving fast food so we head to the food court to grab a McNasty. We all share some stories from last night and try to put pieces together. As we talk, I realise I'm not the only one who lost money last night, 2 other guys played BJ on their way out of Surrender and got fucked in the ass by the casino. With that being said, we decided to cancel our table reservation at Light for that night. My apologies to Noah! I was really looking forward to Light, but some of the guys were getting low on budget.

                      We then head to the pool to relax a bit. The pool is FULL. It took us a good 15 minute to find some chairs to lay down. We have a few drinks there an enjoy the scenery.

                      Around 3-4, me and my gambling problem head back inside to try to win some money back. I didnt win it back, but didnt loose either so thats good. The casino was fairly dead, and the drinks were coming faster then I could handle it = win.

                      6 o'clock rolls around and we are all getting hungry. We had a reservation at Mix, but none of the guys were feeling like going to a fancy restaurant and I agree. We opted for Margaritaville. It was my first time there and I really liked the vibe. Food was cheap and drinks were really good. I was secretly hoping for a guy on stilt to fall down, but it did not happen!

                      We stayed there for a couple hours and made some friends with a bunch of older couples. They were from texas and really knew how to party. Took a few shots with them and then left to go visit the other casino's. We start by gambling a bit at the Flamingo as the dealers were super hot and very friendly.

                      Walk over to ceasar's and met a girl from LA who was there with 2 of her friends from NY. Me and Shawn (one of my friend has the same name as me..gets confusing sometimes) hit it off with the girls and the other 3 leave. I'm having a drinks with the girl from LA and she wants to learn how to play craps. So we head over to the craps table and I show here the basics. After 15 minutes she's up a few hundred and, of course, i'm down. Anyway, that's enough gambling for her. We exchange numbers and then she leaves.

                      Me and shawn stay at ceasar's a bit more and play 3 card poker. I hit the straight flush and win $600. Let's not push my luck and stop gambling for a bit. We text the other guys and we meet up at Bellagio. Might be cheesy but I really wanted to see the fountains. It's actually quite impressive and fun to see.

                      We then walked over to Todd's English Pub and tried the 7 second challenge. It's actually a lot harder then I thought it would be. The beer is so effing cold, it's really hard to slam it in 1 go. So yeah you guessed it, I failed. The bachelor guy on the other hand, did 3 in a row! 15 minutes later he was in the bathroom though. So we all had a good laugh and left to go to NYNY.

                      I'm pretty drunk and I really feel like doing the roller coaster. The line was really small, we waited like 10 minutes. It was super cool to ride the coaster drunk..so we did it twice haha. Bunch of kids eh!

                      Went to coyote ugly...pretty rowdy bar. Was still lots of fun. A few girls dancing on the bar (not all good looking might I had) and music was descent (If you don't mind country, which I dont). The place is super small though and we were packed like sardines so we didn't too long.

                      Lets there to go over to hooter's to eat some cheap wings and cheap gambling. 3am I head back to MGM with one of the guy and as we walk toward the MGM, LA girl text me and ask were we are. She says she's gonna meet us at our hotel with the NY girl. She gets there 10 min later and we grab a drink at the centrifuge. My friend heads back to his room with the NY girl and I head back to my room...alone. I couldnt close..I'm a bit disappointed, but it was still a super fun night, even if we didnt go clubbnig or go to a nice fancy restaurant.

                        These are fun days. Go where you want and do want you want with no commitment and theres nothing cheesy about the fountains. One of my all time favorite Vegas things to do
