My friend swore she had to run in Vegas, because she's training for a half. She even slept in her running clothes one night thinking it would motivate her hungover ass to get up and go. She never made it. good intentions though.

Not true, you're forgetting the joggers.

Its 7-8am, you're getting back to MGM from something, somewhere up the strip, you still have on your leather shoes and dress shirt, and people are running by you because they just woke up and are doing the exercise thing. I used to wonder what was wrong with them, when they probably wondered the same about me.
Truth be told, now I feel like I have to be one of those joggers in the morning next week when I go.
Would help to keep alive for the rest of my long week long trips, clear out some of the toxicity in the system if nothing else.

Holy crap you weren't with me a few years ago were you (Rix? Scotty? Tom?) yeah we were walking across the bridge from MGM around 8am, the joggers go by in front of Trop. My best bud hands me his 4ft Dick stick, and JOINS them! Full dress shoes pants etc! We look at each other like "who's gettin him". Screw it, go to our rooms at THAT motel 6. Few hours later my door swings open, his sillouhete there. "Did you get my drink?" Then collapsed on the ground! To this day he doesn't remember where he went

I have these kind of good intentions every year. One year I made it to the gym, but otherwise, I am no Marc while on vacation.

I'd kill for a game of basketball though, I'd wake up for that anytime.

LMAO, I actually got swamped with work, although at the same time have converted almost my entire trading group into forum users after describing my trip and telling them about this TR. I'll get the last part up for you later today for sure Maximus!

Awesome TR so far! 26 days until my next trip (not that I'm counting).

Dani and her crew had the strip club thing all lined up after heading from 1OAK so i was just along for the ride. We head over to one of the little bars in the mirage to wait for the free Limo to pick us up to take us to Sapphire. In the process (since it was around 3am at this point) we do some people watching. As anyone who has been to Vegas knows, the time after when the clubs start to let out is prime PRO time. My poor innocent companions (they had only been to Vegas like once before this trip) couldn't understand why there were so many attractive women talking to older/fat, or rather average looking dudes at the bar or in the lobby of the Mirage. They seemed horrified that the PRO's were so blatant (i guess with their being from D.C the game is more classy?), so we play a game of spot the escort until the Limo arrives. They quickly become good at it.

The limo arrives and our driver is cool as shit. As i get in i get a little smirk and fist bump from the guy (after all it is me and 3 good looking chicks going to a strip club) and we shoot the shit about this and that on the way over. Again get offers for whatever recreational "items" we might need and we all politely decline. Make out a little with Dani, i like where things are heading for later in the evening. We get to Sapphires and there is a decent crowd but we are told we can get on the quick line. Well allright. On the way into the strip club we see a few Marines who look like they are about 12 years old (obviously they are older) who are waiting in line to get in. With Dani having been an officer she goes over to them and chats them up, makes them salute her (i love this girl so far) and then basically tells them "thanks for serving now go in there and see some titties you deserve it!" (did i mention i love this girl?). We get into the club and i should have taken certain things as a sign. Firstly, the cashier chick was being quite whorish towards all the customers. Yelling at people and super nasty for some reason. It was crowded and i don't know if she was just stressed or what, but it was noticed by all. We get up to the line and she tries to charge us (which, whatever to me but the girls aren't trying to hear it) and her and Dani have a expletive laced exchange before she lets us in. Secondly, literally within 10 minutes of settling in and elbowing our way into a few drinks a massive fight breaks out between two groups of guys at two adjacent tables. "Fight" is a strong word i suppose, just a lot of pushing and yelling from corny pseudo roid head types. Security was no where to be found during this exchange. Ah well, reminds me of certain parts of Brooklyn.

We settle in and "watch some titties" as Dani would put it. The girls dancing are pretty good and some of them have real skill and most are attractive. We had gotten there too late to grab a table etc. so we post up on the ledges surrounding the floor with our drinks so the girls could sit and relax as they were still in there heels and club gear. Everything is going swimmingly and even though it's crowded everybody is having a good time. After maybe 25 minutes, i head to the bar to grab another round for everybody and come back to the following exchange: A chubby black dude with two ratchet chicks on his arm is telling Dani to "stand up" from the spot that she was sitting at near the dance floor. At sapphires the girls who are not on the stage sometimes sit at these spots and talk to customers, have a drink etc. Due to the fact that we have been drinking all day i think all of us were a little slow on the uptake, but the gist of it is the dude think's Dani is a stripper! Now knowing what i know about Dani (both in hindsight and at the time) nothing about this would be offensive to her, i'd imagine she would have taken this as a compliment actually. HOWEVER, the dude kind of pulls her to her feet from where she was sitting (not too aggressively, but still) and finally kind of slaps her on the ass (again not too hard, but still). I KNOW what is about to happen, Dani has been in the military, despite her outward appearance she could give two fucks about starting a fight. At that moment i recall a conversation that we had earlier at dinner in which she mentioned any type of real legal issue will result in her losing her security clearances (pretty sure beating the shit out of a thirst bucket dude at a strip club would qualify as a legal issue) so i step in. I'm pretty turned up myself at this point, and having no security clearance to lose and remembering the lack of security in the previous fight, punch the dude in the chest. Not my finest moment (haven't been in a fight in years), but HATE idiots who purposefully disrespect chicks, especially one i'm with. I'm ready for whatever, but i am NOT that small of a man and the dude i guess does a risk analysis and thinks better of it. I explain she's not a stripper and even if she WAS shit ain't cool. Some folks witnessed the thing, but again no security (don't know if it was just THAT busy a night or what), and the vibe is kind of ruined and we decide to bounce.

On the way out we run into the Marines who are waiting on the cab line to go home. This seems odd because we know they weren't inside (i wanted to buy them a round, i never served but have a lot of friends who have and do), and we have been in there no more than 35 minutes. We find out that the door chick wouldn't let them into a STRIP CLUB, in full military dress no less, because they "ONLY" had their military I.D's with them. I am STUNNED by this as they are ALL despite their young appearance over 21. What the fuck is happening to Vegas when this situation could occur? These guys will NOT get to see titties IN FUCKING VEGAS on a Saturday night in full uniform. We find out they are on leave and are in town from their deployment in Afghanistan and i start to get pretty pissed FOR them. In fact quite a few people in the crowd waiting for Taxi's etc hear what happened and start to get pissed too. I am thinking that we are about to witness the first patriotic protest/mini riot of a strip club in Vegas that i can think of, when a group of dudes who were online with us, has their LIMO pull up. They tell the marines they have something set up at Drai's and insist they hop in the limo with them and everything is on them. And just like that VEGAS is VEGAS in my eyes again. ONLY in Vegas can a night be redeemed by complete strangers just wanting everybody to have a good time! This, and pretty much everything that happened on my last trip is why i will keep going back.

Our Taxi comes and we head back to the Palm's, without any real prompting from me, Dani tells me she is coming back to my room (her girls seem to be up on what was up since they simply said good night and kissed me on the cheek and told me to take care of her). We head back to my room and all is right with the world. After roughly two and a half days of heavy flirting use your imagination...

Maybe she was doing them a favor. One of my friends is an officer in the Army and I remember having a conversation with him about servicemen wearing their uniforms outside of work. And there were very few situations where it was accepted and strip clubs wasn't one. If there would have been a marine officer in the club and saw them, I'm not sure it would have ended pretty of those guys.

[Brooklyn Marc]

I don't know man, i think they were in town for some kind of Marine Ball or something, i saw tons of folks walking around in their dress uniform that week with women on their arms who were also dressed up. Also Dani was an officer in the Navy and she seemed fine with it. I doubt 3 young dudes who are deployed in Afghanistan would get into THAT much shit in Vegas if an active officer saw them (unless that officer was a complete dick).

Nice!!! I should just send all of my info to you, and let you do my TR. Great Work Brooklyn Marc

Appreciate the love, but man once i finish this one i don't want to write another TR for like a year. Writing this thing is work, i have no idea how people write books for a living, i just don't want to leave it unfinished so i keep at it.
