Hello All
Heres mine from 20th - 27th August
A bit of thanks and apologies first though, thanks to JC for setting up a deal at light on Wednesday at very short notice. Thanks to Justen at Marquee for letting me and a pal skip the huge line on Saturday for Dash Berlin. Aplogies to all who had messaged me on here as my cell phone was terrible and I wasn't getting e-mails through.

Wed 20th Aug
10am Newcastle airport, me, SA, SK and DH met at the local airport for our connecting flight to London Heathrow where we would be picking up MH. We had a quick pint and boarded our plane. Short hop to London where we then spent the rest of the afternoon drinking pints in the bar and then boarded our vegas plane for a 16:50 take off.
Drinks flowed on the plane and it ran out of beer and as we landed at vegas the time was 19:30. Through security and me and SA dropped our bags in the venetian, quick shower and change and caught a cab to Mandalay. Hit up JC at the entrance and sorted a B1G1 deal for the 5 of us at I think 800 Dollars.
So the table was awesome and in a great location, unfortunately that's all I remember as the full day and more on the drink caught up with me and I got so drunk that the last I remember is a security guard handing me a bag to be sick in while I was in this big white corridor. I was then told I had to leave, that security guard looked after me though and I cant thank whoever it was enough as I was in some state and I made it back to the venetian in one piece.
Thursday 21st
I was a complete write off all say and me and SA ended up hitting the mall. We headed to Ghost bar at around 9pm and then planet Hollywood for some blackjack. Don't know what the other guys got upto.
Friday 22nd/ Sat 23rd early am
Me and SA hit wet republic for the hot100 girls final and weren't disappointed, walked straight in at around 11:30 and got a good spot in the main pool, drank a few buckets of Bud and chatted to some girls from san diego and ohio which was nice. Friday night we walked the strip then ended up in Double Barrel Roadhouse. Met the others and we ended up in PH at a sportsbar (field of dreams?) to watch our soccer team kick off at 4:45am with a few earl of sandwich delicacies.
Sat 23rd Day
Me and SA headed to Wet Republic at the same time as Friday for Tiesto but the line was unbelievable already so after 20 mins not moving we decided to call it a day and headed to Rehab at Hard Rock. Walked straight into Hard Rock through GA while people seemed to be waiting in a huge line for Guest List. Great time at hard rock and met some lovely girls from the bay area and got a sneaky couple of kisses and we swapped details for later. SA was also talking to a blonde girl who we were sat close to and he got her details
Sat Night
Headed to Marquee for Dasch Berlin, the other guys had pre-sales but we hadn't done anything and the line was ridiculous with no GA. Spoke to Justen Crew who I had been e-mailing in the week and he let us in past the whole line and straight to the payment booth and the lifts, result.
So we get upstairs and the others are out on the terrace, this place is amazing out there and I would have gladly stayed out there all night however DH is a huge berlin fan and wanted to be where the action was. We quickly discovered that the layout inside is a complete nightmare, the walkways were rammed, the bar was rammed, the dancefloor was rammed and you couldn't move anyway unless you wanted to be away from the action, if the tables weren't in such an admittedly good place it would have been much better. Next time we will be doing table service.
We lost SA and I ended up leaving at around 2:30 am to look for him and ended up at PH, he wasn't there and turned out he was with the blonde girl from rehab at Luxor, i gambled a little and then headed back to my room with a EOS (Lush) at around 6 am
Sunday day/night
I just chilled as my body was crying out for rest during the day and im not a big lying around the pool person until i got a call from Stuart to say that Bay area girls from rehab were in our hotel. i headed to meet them and we went across to the mirage to see the Siegfried and roy zoo thing then we chilled until their airport shuttle arrived at 19:30.
Me and SA then headed to Postrio in the venetian for some amazing food (we both had a pasta with lobster, calamari, shrimp and some other things in there) and i would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone.
Sunday Night
We all met up in New York New York with the intention of pre drinking there then deciding where to go but ended up staying at the brilliant duelling pianos bar until it closed
Monday Day
Due to some Miscommunication i could not get hold of or find SA until around 6pm and found out he had been to the gun range alone thinking i was asleep. so that was a wasted day.
Monday Night
Me and SA headed to XS and the others were at Penn and Teller, MH and SK then joined us at XS as DH was too tired. We decided to do bottle service and had a table outside before being moved inside to an amazing table later on in the night. I must say i thought XS was a brilliant club and well thought out with a very good atmosphere to go with it. We made friends with the biggest guy i have ever met called Lionel (i think he runs a pool at caesars)
edit: don't know how i forgot this but we ended up going to CH3 i think from here in their escalade and SA laid out $500 to go vip straight away while me and MH went with the $100 option.
Tuesday Day
Headed to the pool and had a bit chill out before heading to rockhouse for some wings and chilli dogs.
Tuesday Night
We all met up at Mandalay Bay and headed to mix? bar on the top floor of the Delano which was stunning. We then headed over to Drais where Lionel had set us up with a table on the upstairs circular section which had its own pool. Drais was absolutely amazing and by far one of the best nights for location, atmosphere, women and music.
Overall an absolutely amazing time and one i will hopefully be repeating next year and including labor day in that as well.
As an aside, the ups and downs of vegas are there for all to see with amazing places but then literally the flip side with homeless and street "performers" who will literally do anything for a dollar or their next fix
