So this is my first TR as I've always been too lazy to write them, but right now I'm home sick with not much else to do.
It was just me and my 1 girl friend, P, July 19-22th, half for my birthday and half just because, stayed at the Palms because my room was comped.
Friday (well, technically Saturday...)
We landed just about midnight at texted my friends who I knew were in town that weekend, got our bags pretty quickly then waited and hour and 20 min for a cab!! had I known it was gonna take that long I would have just paid for a limo. Finally get to the palms at like 2am, maybe a little earlier. They tell me the hotel is sold out, but the can give me a "complimentary upgrade" to Palms Place. I'm not thrilled about this in the slightest. Granted, yes it's a nicer a room and the kitchen area is a plus, but it was a one bed so my friend had to sleep on a pull out and is so annoyingly far from food and gaming at the Palms. Not to mention they didn't give me my free pint of liquor upon Check in and I forgot about it until much later on with all the room frustration. Anyway, finally we are checked in. I stop by the tables to say hi to some friends and start the walk to the room to get ready. By this point it's after 2am so we get ready super, super quickly. We end up deciding to stay at the Palms for times sake and go to Moon. We ended up getting pretty drunk pretty quickly so my memory of the rest of the night gets hazy. I know we had a few drinks, shots of Patron, some red bulls...the music was decent, hip hop, had a few drinks outside at Moon, then moved inside to dance for the rest of the night. Stayed until about 4a or until the kicked us out, possibly gambled a bit? I really don't know. I'm guessing we ended up back at the room about 5ish, but honestly don't know. It was actually hell of a lot more fun than I expected to have at Moon!
Saturday
I somehow woke up before 10 and not hungover at all, in hindsight probably still drunk. I wake my friend up to get ready for Krewella at Daylight. We have guetlist so I want to make sure we get there early enough. I think we got there between 11-1130, got right in with no wait (thank you Kazflair!) and started partying again. We got a locker ($40!), but it ended up being totally worth the cost to not have to worry about holding anything other than my I'd and cc in my bathing suit top. We claimed a spot on the edge of the pool up front near the stage, hung out, made lots if new friends, drinks massive mojitos and danced until Krewella came on. A group of people who were out there for the invasion ended up I the same area. I tried to be friendly with them and talk about the invasion, but they jus were not interested sooo that ended that Lol. Krewella finally came on and now my friend is obsessed haha. At this point it was like 4pm and we were STARVING. We definitely should have grabbed food before hand because Daylight sold out of sandwiches. They really need to get a better menu for people without cabanas or at the very, very least not run out of food. We ended up leaving by like 5p cause we were gonna pass out from not eating. We just needed to eat anything at this point so we ate Thai at the noodle house or something in Mandalay. It actually ended up being really, really good and I had leftovers for late night drunk food. One of the kids we met (I say kids intentionally because he was 7 years younger than us haha) kept texting my friend the entire trip though. He was sweet and fun, but I just didn't have intentions of continuing to hangout after Daylight.
We get back to the room maybe like 6/630. My friend showers and I take a power nap. I get up and get ready for Bassjackers at Light. We had bought presale and gotten there early (like 1030p) and had a short line to wait on. Really nothing to complain about. The guy checking the presages yelled at me though for buying them! Haha i told him everyone i know told me to buy them, so I did. He told me not to pay to get in, next time just text him. idk if I totally regret buying them though because for $20 the presale live was MUCH shorter than guest list. Light was awesome. The layout was a bit weird at first. We redeemed our drink tickets and took a walk around. Met these guys and went back to their table while we waited for Bassjackers. They were nice and fun and even though I straight up expressed there was no chance of anything happening they really thought they did. We dance ST their table all night. Bassjackers were awesome. We left a little early, 230a?, but my friend was wasted and couldnt get away from the guy talking to her. He literally came to the cab line before he realized it wasn't going to happen. Poor guy. i texted my other friends but no one answered until much later so we crashed at the room.
Sunday
Wake up early for Kaskade at MDC. Today we're smarter and grab pizza before we head in. My friend's nose was runny and some kid came up to he and asked her where to get coke. She was SO, SO insulted, but I thoughtit was hysterical and was cracking up. We bought presale, but I think guest list would have been possible. Next time. Anyway, we walk in and get invited to a cabana, but honestly it's just too early for that hahaha. We get our drinks and move to the tiny dance area since there's no spots around the pool. We dance from like 12-3p , securing a spot up against the gate for Kaskade. He comes on at 3p and were front and center the entire set. It was AMAZING and I wouldn't change anything about MDC for the world. We leave right after his set.
We head back to the room and get dressed for Sunday Night Swim. We head to Sugar factory first for dinner and a drink. My friend ended up getting the itis and not wanting to go to XS. I did, but I was tired too so I didn't really push for it. I was already proud of her for going so hard. It was only her second time and last time she passed out after both day clubs, bailing on night clubs and bringing the wrong ID one night. So yeah, we drank there chatted for a it and called it an early night.
Monday
Silly me booked an 8am massage haha! It was an early night beforehand though so it was manageable. The massage was fantastic and a great way to end the partying. Our flight wasn't until 4pm so we gambled after we checked out until it was time to leave. I ended up winning a little so I can't complain. My friend won as well, but she got so drunk gambling and started thinking everyone was talking about her. At this point I knew it was time ti get her some food and head for the airport.
All in all the trip was amazing and filled with great DJs, lots of dancing and alcohol and just good, fun times. I feel like TRs can never fully give the experience of the trip, but it was awesome. I can't wait to plan my next one already.
