I wasnt sure whether or not i was going to write a trip report, but in the months leading up to my trip I enjoyed reading everyone else's Vegas experiences so much I had to give it a shot. I just got back last night and I dont yet feel 100% haha it may take a couple days. When my friends and I started planning the trip it was only 4 of us guys at first. Me, jon, andrew and charlie. But then our other friend matt was able to join and jon invited his friend evan from work. We're all in our mid 20's and we all have pretty good jobs but we're by no means "rich". I'm the only one in my group thats married so I wont have any crazy stories about hook ups or anything, sorry lol. We do all however like to party so we knew we had a solid crew for the trip. This trip was a complete blur so I'm going to try and do my best at keeping everything straight and not mixing up the nights.
Our flight out of Boston left at 715 am and we had a layover in Nashville and then were to arrive in Vegas at about 12:30 pm. I planned this so we could maximize every bit of our time in Vegas. I took it upon myself to do all the planning because of all the information I found here on the JC forums. So I get out of work wednesday and need to grab a few last minute items at Walgreens, Pedialyte being one of them (thank god for this stuff). I get home and pack my suitcase and my backpack and then its just time to wait. I feel like a kid on christmas eve. Im so excited I cant sleep at all. I finally manage to fall asleep around 1230 and then my alarm goes off at 430am. 4 hours is good enough. I head to jons house and meet up with evan and andrew. Charlie and Matt are on separate flights so we plan to meet them at the MGM.
Now on a previous trip to Vegas me and the guys started drinking on a 6 hour flight from Boston and it didnt end well. By the time I got to Vegas I was shitfaced and just wanted to sleep. So on this trip I had planned not to drink until we arrived. Obviously the plan didnt work. The flight attendant comes around and asks for drink orders and jon says "yeah we'll have 4 double jack and cokes". Well, thats that then. We probably all have 6 nips of jack on the flight out and im feeling pretty good by the time we get to nashville. We have about an hour so decided to grab a bite to eat. I think it was 930 am so we went to a breakfast place. Turns out they have a bar too... perfect. so I have my budlight and eggs and decided to down a coffee while im at it. Another budlight, and then another. we have a few minutes until we board and andrew tells the bartender to make us 4 shots of patron. No one else in the restaurant is drinking and we're getting a lot of weird looks, most likely because we're obnoxious and loud but its a vegas vacation so who cares lol. I chug a glass of water after the patron shot because I feel like i probably should at this point. So we walk onto the flight and there happens to be a young attractive flight attendant, andrew walks up to her gives her a $20. And thats all it took, we each paid for 1 drink the entire flight but probably downed 4 or 5 each. Girl turned out to be a cool chick and we exchanged numbers with her and told her to come by our table at Drais that night. At this point we're already having a great time and we havent even landed in Vegas. All I can think is this is going to be the best time of my life!
