  • July 12-14 birthdays

    The thread title doesn't make sense to this thread, I typed this post on my iPad and accidentally hit enter before finishing the title.

    Just got back last night, actually this morning as our flight landed at dia around 1am.. I didn't drink yesterday, I am still hungover from Saturday night. It was mostly my girl and I alone, we got a room at the Venetian and a the rest of the crew were comped at the flamingo, so we were on our own for a lot of it.

    The players:
    Me
    My girlfriend
    The 30th bday boy (B)
    His wife (A)
    Their crew
    Random denver friend of mine who happened to be in Vegas with his girl the same weekend (J)

    The report:

    Friday:
    Our flight was at 1:25, I took the day off, my girl had to work a short day and was leaving her office at 11 heading to my place and then we'd go to the airport.. At 11:05 I get a call from her in a panic, her keys are locked in her car again (third time in about 6 months), I remain calm and say get roadside on the way, I'll come to you and well leave your car at the office. Crisis avoided no traffic we show up to dia and see our flights delayed anyways, which really sucked because we had to make a connection in phx, which we barely make, we were two of the last people on the plane. Anyways we land in Vegas and are ready to go, cab line was a bit long but it moved quickly. Get to Venetian, zero line to check in, throw a sandwich together on the fly, all I got was a high floor "strip view" but really all we could see was the palazzo and the trump, not really the best upgrade but hey it was only $20.

    We get to the room and [redacted], and I am starving so I open up the little carnavale book with coupons they give us and decide to check out Grimaldis for some pizza, the place is fucking amazing! Afterwards we hit up the Walgreens in the palazzo for supplies and head back to the room. I for the life of me can't remember what we did between then and getting ready for heading to the light, probably some more [redacted]. The birthday boy and his crew is on their way in still from LA I get a call saying they'll be at the flamingo around 10 so we cab it over there, they're still not there so I decided the flamingo needed some of my money and proceed to quickly lose $100 on blackjack. They're finally there in the room so we go up, make some more cocktails and head to the cab line to go to Mandalay and the light. One of the crew members put us on a gl, but we were getting there past 11 and kinda expected to get shut down, nope the line was still open and were in about 10 min later. A little hazy on how it went down, but A and my girl got in a different line and after we've paid our cover they're still in line, a quick txt to Noah Ortiz would've fixed this, but after him offering to get them in I see they've made it in already (thanks Noah). The light is fucking awesome, normally I don't like boxed in clubs like that, but with the massive led wall, high ceilings, and cirque performers, it's a new favorite in Vegas. I took some pics and will post them later, but its and awesome space, bottle areas looked nice too, wish it was in our budget, but none of us wanted to drop that kinda dough. We were there til somewhere between 2-4am, at least that's what my missed calls tell me. Somehow I get separated from the entire group, I think I went to piss, come outside by the cabs and they're no where to be found, eventually one of the crew members finds me and was like we got a limo going to crazyhorse. Pile in, it was an escalade and I think there was at least 10 of us in there.. We get out my girl, A and I are by the bouncer about to go in and we see the birthday boy on all 4s puking in a bush.. Bouncer gives us the classic, he's not getting in speech and we pile back into the same limo back to the flamingo. I decide the flamingo needed some more of my money and quickly give them whatever cash I had left before getting into a cab back to the Venetian (thankfully the gf was there to pay lol). Get to the Venetian and pass out!

    Saturday:

    Wake up around 10, run down to a little cafe in the Venetian grab coffee and breakfast sandwiches and bring em up to my girl whos still struggling in bed. She recovers and we get ready for Encore Beach, the rest of the crew bought presales, I fail to purchase presales and were on our own to get in. We walk over since its actually kinda nice out in Vegas, (only about 100 degrees and sunny) we even take the strip instead of cutting through Wynn, we get there and the usual shit show of doorman and lines is going on, I hear an hour wait for GA, say nope, throw the doorman $20 for the both of us and were in 5 minutes late. I spot our crew right off the bat, they got a nice spot on the side of the first pool, kinda closest to the gaming table. They have bucket of beers, so I buy one as well a nice $140 for 12 beers but hey at least we have the bucket and don't have to wait in line each time. We hang out, just enjoying the pool, music and of course the talent. About midway through the day the lifegaurds start blowing their whistles and make everyone get out of the pool, I heard someone say someone puked in it but I wasn't sticking around to find out... into the middle pool we go for about an hr until they let people back into the other. Buckets gone so I make a few beer runs here and there and then its about 2:30 and A is wasted and its clear we need to get her outta there fast. She needs her support team of two at all times, but we make it back to our new favorite pizza place, Grimaldis again and all 11 of us enjoy some of their delicious food. After that the crew heads to get a cab to the Flam and we go up to our room.

    I'm not sure what happened after that, but I come to at 9:30 in bed (I know risky manuever falling asleep after a day party, but we skipped being hungover from Encore, so that was nice). Wake my girl up and we have to get ready to go to Marquee. We get ready and decide to skip the stop at the Flamingo tonight, instead we go straight to Cosmo. End up meeting people in the Cab line who are celebrating their brothers 21st... first they came off as douchebags (anybody who mentions their dads jet in the first 5 minutes, gets labeled a douche in my book), but turns out two of them who we end up sharing a cab with are cool and we end up saying well stop by there table if we see them. We had to guest list for Marquee (thanks to Noah) and the crew had pre-sales, we get in before them with the GL and start drinking, the main room is filling in we poke out to the patio for a bit, see the cab line friends are in a cabana to the right of the pool stop by real quick to say hey and then we finally meet the crew, they were downstairs outside of the boom box room. I had never been to the boom box, even though I thought I had, it turns out that was just the upstairs room from the main room. Seems like a cool spot but it was packed so we hung out outside for a bit... get split off from the crew again its just my girl and I so we dance a bit in the main room, and ultimately head out of marquee and end up at the middle floor of the chandelier bar. My girl orders a good pear type drink, I let the bartender talk me into a manhattan, by far the worst decision I made all trip. It came out way to strong for my tastes and I have him water it down, still sucks but I drink it I guess. We have a buncha drunk pics of us in the Chandelier, my favorite is below.. I was wasted! Thats about it for saturday apparently I kept trying to donate money to casinos but the GF saved me from making any regrettable decisions. When we walked out of Cosmo there was of course a massive cab line which I opted to pay a valet $20 to skip instead, worth it.

      Sunday:

      I wake up feeling like DEATH! I had gotten a text and call from a Denver friend who happened to be in Vegas as well, he was at the Wynn, but I was in no condition to walk very far so I suggest they come meet us for brunch at Grand Lux in the Venetian (literally right off the elevator). They show up we end up all ordering lunch stuff instead and we get terrible service but I was in to bad of shape to care, I have a bloody mary which was good, but not enough to cure me.
      '
      Turns out they didn't have much planned for the day and invite us to come hang out at the Wynn, since we have a late flight and have to check out of the Venetian we say sure. We go up pack up and check out, I was not going to make the short walk from Venetian to Wynn and have to get a cab. Get tot the Wynn and J is playing some craps, so I of course buy in for $100, hes up he hits a few points and I have almost doubled up really quickly, until the dice come to me, I set a point 7, he sets a point 7 I set a point 7 and then we walk away I only lost $15, but coulda walked away a little happier. We go up to his room his girl is chilling, but we decide its pool time. I am still feeling bad at this point but not terrible, that all is about to change though. I don't know if it was the heat, sun, pool water, whatever it was I got hit like freight truck and have to go pass out on a chaise lounge while they hang out and drink in the pool. Finally finish up at the pool and its like 5pm, my girl and I have tickets to Zarkana at Aria at 7pm, J and his girl have tickets for O at 7:30 (we chose Zarkana over O because we had a flight at 10PM and the 30 min start time difference would help). They let us use their room to get ready and of course my girl is taking her time to get ready, we end up leaving their room at the Wynn at like 6:35, and we still have to check bags, get our tickets and get seated for a 7pm start time... We get conned into getting dropped off out back of Aria, which was pointless because we had to walk to the front to find a bellman to store out luggage. Frustrated we walk back through the casino up the elevator and get seated as the curtains go up. Were not seated for 5 minutes and an usher comes up offering to move us lower, I accept and we get moved down to about the 8th row right in the middle of the stage, I tip the usher and we enjoy the show. I had never done Cirque before, neither had my girl, its was pretty fucking awesome what they can do, I didn't understand a thing but I enjoyed it. Get out of the show walk to the bell desk grab a cab and off to McCarran. Til next time Vegas...
