I apologize in advance, this trip report will be long, if it is too long, let me know and I will condense it!
Cast: Me the attorney, D the software engineer/college buddy, L the invest banker/college buddy, DC friend from law school, JE nurse, acquainted with him from college and good friends with L and Je’s twin brother, JA who is a risk analyst. We are all in our late 20s.
Setting: Wynn 5/9/14-5/11/14
Background: We were supposed to head to Vegas last August, but one of the guys pulled out last minute so we pushed it back to this May since this is when our Southwest Airlines Credit would expire. Me, L and twins have only been to Vegas once before. The twins have been to Vegas once but never did pool parties, and DC and D have done Vegas plenty of times before but only did pool parties once before along with me and L. Since my trip was cancelled last year, and I only been to Vegas once before in August, I discovered this website and was determined to plan an epic adventure.
After leaving the stormy Midwest Friday morning, me, D and L arrive in Las Vegas at around 10:30 a.m. We are greeted by the warm desert sun. L slept the entire plane ride, but me and D decided to do a couple rounds with about 1.5 hours left in the flight, so when we leave the plane, we have a nice mile high buzz going on. The cab line isn’t too bad and the three of us grab a cab after about a 7 minute wait. After a short cab ride, we enter the Wynn. This place is AMAZING. The check in line takes about 6 or so minutes to get through. After reading about the string of failures trying to pull the sandwich at the Wynn, I decide to play it safe and just stick to my original room without asking. I also make sure to tell my friendly front desk girl that it would be awesome if all three of our rooms could be on the same floor. (The last time I was in Vegas (and first time… back in August of 2012) we all stayed in the Venetian and were in different towers… a nightmare trying to meet up in each other’s rooms. The Wynn front desk girl was able to put us all on the 16th floor. Works for me. We decide to change in the room and meet up to head to Marquee Day Club.
On the way to the elevators, we run into JA. He got in two hours before us and was just coming back from the gym. I walk into my room at it is amazing. The moment I open the door and hit the button, the blinds open and the sun engulfs the room. I have a great view of the mountain range. Definitely don’t have those kind of views in the big city. I have a double bed room because I am sharing the room with DC. Me, L and D meet downstairs and head out without JA because he takes a long time to get ready and tells us he will meet up later.
We head the Cosmo for some day club fun. I had negotiated a cabana with my group with Cliff Orr. He was great responding to messages and was a great guy to deal with. The three of us walk past the large groups of people talking to security about getting bottle service and complaining about them all being sold out. I talk to a security guard and tell him we are on the list. He looks me up on the list and my name is there, he ask if I was working with a host and I tell him Cliff Orr. He walks over and gets him. Cliff tells me that unfortunately all the cabanas and table are sold out because several cabanas and tables were closed off due to a bee problem. He says me and my guys can get in free of charge because of the inconvenience. The guy was very apologetic and a class act so I slide him a little handshake and we are in Marquee.
The place is very lively. The only other pool party I had ever been to was Tao and this place was awesome!!! The talent there was solid and it looked like a good crowd. We grabbed a seat near a palm tree and I bought the first round. After a few drinks, both the twins arrived and we were ready to party. It was sad to see several empty cabanas… especially with the hot Vegas sun beating down on us. After a few round of drinks and several fireball shots, I decide it is time to socialize with the ladies.
Mingled with a few girls and chatted up with some cool guys from all over. Saw a really hot girl with dark hair and hazel eyes with her friend so I go over and introduce myself. This lovely girl is Romanian and her less than lovely friend just kinda gives me the not interested face, so I focus on this hot Romanian girl. The Romanian girl was 5”10, slender build, nice hazel eyes and jet black hair. She was wearing an amazing red bikini that showed off her nice fit body. We chat and hit it off. I ask her if it is just her and her friend here for the weekend, and she lets me know that they are both here with their boyfriends. Im just like aww, your taken, I’ll catch you guys around have a good trip. Just as I am pulling away, she grabs my arm and tells me that she is single for the weekend. We exchange numbers and just as I put my phone away, her boyfriend comes and introduces himself to me. Seems like a decent guy, but she is way out of his league in my opinion... good for him! I tell them have a great weekend and head off. Romanian girl waves and winks at me while her bf isn’t looking. smh
I go back to my group and report my quasi-success with them. L informs me that he has guess downstairs. I just see a look of disdain on D’s face. So I walk with D downstairs to see if I can get these two girls in. Orr had left for the rest of the day so I was going to chat with security. As we are walking down with no shirts, security says that that we gotta put shirts on and I joking complain about waking back up those stairs to get my shirt. Security gives me and D some brand new corona t-shirts. Score!
As we get in the elevator, D tells me that L invited some girl he met a year ago at a bar back home, who happened to live in California to hang out this weekend… and her friend that D hooked up with, and Australian chick. After talking to security they were cool with the Cali girl coming in because she had beach attire, but the Australian had jeans on and couldn’t get it. D was relieved and shocked at how much weight she had gained since he last saw her. The Australian headed back to their hotel room at the Quad, and we went up to Marquee with the Cali girl of L’s.
DC calls at around 4:30 and wants to head over to Marquee… we tell him that we are going to leave in about 30 minutes so he might as well meet us at one of Wynn bars. We spend the next 30 minutes continuing to talk to different girls from all over the world… none as captivating to me as the Romanian girl! The twins get a number or two from some decent looking Brits and D gets a number from a girl from Texas. We head back to the Wynn to meet up with DC at the bar. All in all… a great start.
Very impressed with Marquee Day Club and Cliff Orr’s professionalism.
