First TR, partying with JC people and Seattle's LoB

[zero]

I've never done this before but you know what, I might want to read this again myself before my next trip so here we go. Shoutout to the first people I've met on here and partied with, Endgame, KinStock77, and Ho_train. Somehow after a night with you guys, I survived and made it back home. Our trip was from April 3 - April 5th. 2 days was all I needed before my body broke down.

The crew:
R - 25 year old girl that was my old roommate. 2 years of non stop awesomeness
Me - 25 year old bro
J - 26 year old bro, me and R's old neighbor
U - 25 year old bro from the college. My main wingman for the weekend.
C - 25 year old girl from college who stayed with us but didn't go out with us

To start this off, this was my third trip to Vegas and the first one I planned. The reason I had to plan this trip was because last year, U and I went on a trip with a friend and his friends and they couldn't handle us. Said we partied too hard and were liabilities. Apparently, when you're in your mid 20s in vegas, you can party too hard and be a liability. Duly noted, go to Vegas with people who actually enjoy having fun. Luckily, with the help of JC, this trip turned out to be the best one yet.

I purposely planned my flight to be around noon so I could sleep in, but nonetheless I woke up at like 6 AM Friday morning too excited to go back to sleep. Off to a good start. My flights are completely unexciting, except that I watched What happens in Vegas, Dodgeball, and the Karate kid (which was 2 hours too long, and Jackie Chan didn't even kick ass). No one was making out or raging or doing anything crazy on my flight to Vegas which I fully expected. I had no attractive flight attendants. Oh well. The only people I talked to said they hated Vegas and were only going back because they lived there...tough crowd.

I arrived last in Vegas around 4. R was there to pick me up because she drove. We arrive at the Venetian and take like 45 minutes to find where the lobby is. Most. confusing. hotel. ever. At least I was able to get a chipotle burrito during that time, though that fell to pieces after a few bites. U arrived the earliest around 9 AM and checked in early with the 20 dollar trick (shit works!), so we finally find him and make it up to the Bella Suite, which is a dope room. I'm pretty much ready to rage at this point, U had already stocked up on water and beer. R and J go to CVS to buy some fireball, more beer, and water. Me, U, and C walk to the cosmopolitan to see my old college roommate. We're pretty much joking about pimping C out the entire walk, which she is happily going along with as long as we all split the profits. Too bad we never got around to making stripper cards out of C haha. We finally make it to the cosmo and find our friends and make it up to their suite. They have like this dope suite with a wrap around balcony, which made our room look like shit. Oh well, vegas isn't about the room experience anyways. We play pong and pregame. C and I are partnered up and we both suck it's honestly embarrassing. After maybe 10 tries, I made 1 cup (Hooray!). U ends up smoking and after about 2 hours of drinking, we decide to cab back to shower around 8 PM and get ready to go out. C stays to hangout with our college friends.

We make it back to the Venetian and rush to eat delicious panda express before going back up to the room. Unfortunately, the minute U gets to the room, he pukes and passes out. It was maybe 9 PM. I thought he'd rally, but nah he was done for the night. Smoked too much. There goes my wingman. So it ends up being me, J, and R at Surrender for the night. I try to iron my clothes. I say try, because I have no idea wtf I'm doing. Water is spilling everywhere out of the iron onto the ironing board and my clothes. I need an adult to help! J finally helps me and ends up practically ironing my clothes for me haha. When we're done, we realize that we can't fold up the ironing board. Did I break that? (We never figured out how to fold up the ironing board, so maybe I did....)

Surrender is pretty dead (for Vegas), the back half of the outdoor area is blocked off because they don't expect it filling up. I was disappointed, but I also kind of enjoyed it because I could actually walk around and go nuts right in front of the DJ. J is mostly blacked out and MIA already, so R and I start mingling. I find a group of bridesmaids and I'm not sure how it started, but they use their phones as flash lights to look at my amazing (basically non existing) chin hair I've been growing for weeks. One day, it'll become a fumanchu. One day. I later find a group by the bar and go on this spiel about how my mom bought my tickets and sent me to vegas to find my future wife (ex wife?). I'm not even sure how I came up with it, but I went with it cause it was I'm pretty sure it entertained everyone in the outdoor area at Surrender. These girls ask me to sit down and I think they asked me if I liked older women or something along those lines. I don't know why I didn't act upon this, but yea....Oh well! One of the brides maid comes up to me so I'm like, alright, cute girl approaching! But she just tells me R and I should hook up. Awkward. About an hour in, R wants to leave and I have no idea where J is. So now I'm raging at Surrender alone. I wish I could say I went crazy, but after a while I was pretty tired and decided to leave. Wynn is the biggest hotel ever so I must've spent a good 30 minutes trying to find the damn exit. THERE WAS NOONE AROUND TO DIRECT ME. I got so lost, but finally make it back to the room and pass out around 2:30.

Saturday morning:
Time zone changes are the worst. I wake up at 5:30 (since it's like 8:30 eastern time) and am wide awake. Luckily, R and U wake up as well and we go forage for food. Surprise surprise, nothing but CVS is open so we buy some gatorade and water. Although U is holding both the pack of water and gatorade the entire time, we decide to explore the palazzo and end up walking around for a good hour or so. He never said anything, but he definitely hated us and his arms were definitely sore haha. The rest of the morning is possibly the most exciting few hours you can imagine. We lay down, try to sleep, and roll around in bed until we can finally get food. Yay 9 AM rolls around! Panda express is open!!!!!!! We literally run to go fill ourselves up with that delicious fried rice. The fatty I am, so I splurge 20 dollars for breakfast because all the food looked great. Best decision of my life! Afterwards, I'm finally feeling tired so R and I go pass out for a bit while U goes to "work out". Which he said consisted of him running 5 minutes on the treadmill and taking 20 minute breaks to look for cute girls haha.

11 rolls around and J, R, U and I are ready to hit the pool! The second we walk out of our hotel, I see these two cute girls walking towards us with pool gear on so I ask them where they're coming from. They said we could get into Tao for free with our hotel keys and there was a open bar for ladies. They tell us they'll meet us there and hook us up with free drinks. Alright nice, Tao beach it is! We spend probably the next 20 minutes looking for Tao, while I tell everyone that Kimmy K's step bro is Djing haha. Some people found this amusing, others ranted about how shitty the Kardashians were. We finally find the pool, but they wouldn't give me a wrist band for the open bar. Ladies only. U tries to "game" the system but convincing them he's gay, but no can do, still no wrist band. I even offered the ladies giving out the wrist bands to get them some drinks and dance all seductively in front of them, but no go. So strict!

I thought I'd get this all into 1 post, but I'm tired of typing haha so I guess I'll just continue it. Coming up is partying with Richard Sherman and the LoB, and of course, BS with the JC Crew saturday night.

[KinStock77]

Lmao I was dying reading about the ironing situation lol. Good job so far man can't wait to read the rest and hear your perspective of saturday night!

[*ho_train*]

Ummm I want more now. I think this is my first trip where I'm not going into Vegas withdrawals. Hmmm. So weird cause I had an amazing time. I'll chime in and add parts you're missing to our Saturday night lol.

[ecook0808]

My buddies and I have a deal...

I iron all their shirts, they make all the drinks for the pregame.

[zero]

The pool is pretty much dead at this point, because normal people aren't there right at 11 I guess. So we have our pick of spots, and of course, I choose the spot next to the pool and a group of girls. One of them had huuuuuuuuge assets which was great to look at, but they weren't that talkative or maybe I was saying the wrong things. Who knows. I ask a cute Tao worker if she knew if we could sit at the Cabana, but it's her first day. She didn't even know Kim K's step bro was djing! I promised I'd have a dance off with her later. I ask another worker if we could sit at the cabanas, but he gave a stern no. I ask if he'd let us if R flashed him, and he hesitated for a few seconds, but eventually said no. Boo!

I hit up the bar and think I'll be all cool and buy a whole bucket of beers. $65!? Nevermind, I'm not that cool, people can buy their own! U and I get a delicious budlight as the pool starts to fill up, and we start to make our rounds to meet people. I see these two superrrrrrrr cute girls and go up to talk to them, and what do you know it's the two from the hotel. Thank god they recognized me, because I already forgot what they look like. We shoot the shits and I buy them a drink, thinking they'll get us some drinks later. U and I make our way around to all the bachelorette parties going on, and he makes up an elaborate story about how we're filming Harold and Kumar invade Vegas and Harold and Kumar invade a Bachlorette party. The girls love it. He later goes on to tell several girls that he's gay but that they could turn him straight. They also loved that hahah.

We mingle for a while, and R is so white she's already burnt so she leaves before the party even really starts. So much for her getting us drinks from the girl's open bar! I also never saw those two cute girls again who I bought drinks for. I should've gotten their numbers, but I didn't have my phone on me that like entire day. Mistakes, mistakes! The party begins to really pick up, so we go from partying in the pool to mingling with randos. Everyone is cool as shit and friendly. Met some girls from Miami, tons of people from Cali, and U got a hott milf's number from England who really liked him. Eventually we get hungry so we go inside to get some food, and then J hits us up that Richard Sherman just arrived. Oh well shit, going back to the pool!

We get back and Sherman sticks out like a sore thumb with his dreads. He's on stage behind the pool. I start talking to groups of girls asking them if they saw Sherman, and that if they knew that I was practically the Richard Sherman of ping pong. Some of them loved it, others took it way too seriously. U always thinks that asian girls are awkward to talk to, but we decide to talk to a couple. The one I'm talking to is so drunk she's all over me within 2 seconds. I wish it was cause of my dazzling looks, but it was probably because she could barely see. Conversing with her is hard as hell because she's pretty much incoherent, so she has me put my number in her phone although I know I won't hit her up. U said that his girl was super awkward to talk to haha. I see some dude go up to Sherman to talk to him, so I'm like wait I could be that dude! So I go up to him and he's actually cool as hell. We shoot the shits about Russell Wilson for a bit and he wishes Wisconsin luck that night against Kentucky. Apparently Kam Chancellor was there too, but I wouldn't recognize him if I tried. I also heard Beast Mode was there, probably so he wouldn't get fined.

I see one of the dudes I met earlier talking to 3 girls, so of course I jump in! They're all dope as hell, and we start talking about finding nice girls in Vegas. But let's be real, who actually looks for nice girls in Vegas? What about girls we only want to hangout with for an hour? Lol. Anyways, now it's around 3:30, we realize that we've pretty much talked to every group of girls we so decide to call it a day. We go back to the room and U and J pass out. I'm not normal, so instead of sleep, I go down for more panda express. I'm a Wisconsin fan and R is a Kentucky fan, so the next few hours are intense as shit as we watch our teams battle it out. WISCONSIN WINS HELL YEA! I do my best to rub it in her face as tears roll down her eyes. Sucker!!!!!!!! She's so depressed, she doesn't even go get dinner. I'm so happy, I go get more dinner! Why yes, I'd love to have more panda express!

By now, it's about time to roll out to the MGM grand to meet up with the other JC members. Ironing goes better this time, although the damn ironing board still can't be folded back. Everyone gives me their cash for the BS, and I have a quick thought about ditching them to hit up the strip club. But....I'm not that mean. Classy as we are, we stick our beers and fireball into our Miller Light box and roll out.

[zero]

The finale:

We arrive at the MGM and I give the JC crew a call. No response. Uh oh! Luckily, Ho_train is a beast on facebook and answers my message right away. Turn right to go to the elevator she says. Makes sense........except we walk straight into the casino and miss the elevators. Sometimes, I question our intelligence. After wandering the casino for a few minutes, we realize that we probably missed the elevators lol. So we finally find them and head on up. Here. we. go! Knock on the door. Ho_train or someone answers and you know, instant party friends! We meet everyone and take some delicious fireball shots and befriend each other and all that stuff. Everyone is cool as hell and not psychopaths, thank the lord. We try to get Ho_train to take shots with us, but she doesn't! She is way better at not giving into peer pressure than me. People nag me for a few seconds and I'm like okay okay okay let's do a shot!! At one point there was no music, so I did my best impression of Ne-yo and sang Give me everything tonight. You'll have to ask them how I sounded, because I thought I was spot on.

After pregaming for a bit, we head downstairs to go to Tryst. The line for the cab is long as hell! So of course, J and Kinstock find us a deal to take a limo. 10 dollars per person. So unnecessary, but so worth it in Vegas! The limo did not have drinks unfortunately, which was a bummer. We make it to Tryst and I've never handled the bottle service before, so I trustingly just hand over all my cash to Endgame. Turned out to be the right choice. We skip the line and head in, but have to wait for Endgame's friend whose already picking up TWO girls. Nice man. Nice. We arrive at our table which was a sick location on the dance floor, and have a great looking server girl person. Being the doll she is, she brings me a redbull because the struggle is starting to be real. I tell her that she's the prettiest bottle service girl I've ever had, and I'm pretty sure I said it so smoothly that had she not been working, it would have swept her off her feet. But we'll never know! The drinks start flowing and we take a shot to Endgame, who organized all this. I gotta get my dance on, so I go mingle and dance around. My first two drinks go down way too fast, but I'm trying not to get trashed too early because the last time I was at tryst, I got so trashed I gave the bathroom person like 20 dollars to unnecessarily douse me in every cologne there was. Not this time buddy!

The next few hours is pretty much a blur of pure awesomeness. We had 4 bottles of goose, which is a stupid amount of alcohol in hindsight. There were some fiji waters at our table, so I was like hell yea water! Thinking they were free, I start to chug two of them before someone tells me that Ho_Train bought them at like 20 dollars/piece for her vodka waters.........Sorry bro! I didn't know! She's so nice though she let me drink the waters I started lol. Hell yes, hydration! The first group of girls I meet are some asians who.....are awkward, but at least they said I was cute. One of them isn't drinking cause she's DD! Hello? Ever hear of a cab? I offer them shots and they DECLINE! Who ever declines a free shot!? Whatever, next group! I honestly can't remember who I met, so someone else will have to fill in those details haha. But I remember a group of black girls and one of them was a Kentucky fan. Well guess what, WISCONSIN DESTROYED YOU! She gets all sad like so I offer her a shot at the table and she ends up sitting there for the next like 10 minutes or something haha.

I remember talking to our bouncer guy who was this huge Samoan guy with a beard. I told him that the day I'm manly enough to grow a beard is the day that I'll be as baller as him. I think he loved that haha. At some point in the night, either R or Ho_train unnecessarily poured me like 2 or 3 shots that our server girl made. Remember how I said I'm bad at peer pressure? A shot!? Well hell yes! Another? Ok let's go! I'm getting pretty drunk by now, but I refuse to get so drunk I pay the bathroom guys 20 to spray me with cologne! Eventually, I can't take another shot that someone poured me so I go over to two girls next to our table to give it to them. These girls are normal! They accept! One of them has a boyfriend.....lame. But her friend's single! Alright! We talk about....whatever the hell drunk people talk about. I think she was from Latin America or something so I was like Hola chica bonita! That's about the extent of my Spanish knowledge! Talk to another random group, I think the girl was cute, but by now my memory is blurry. She was a local, so I was like yea I'll hit you up every time I come! I don't think I got her number though....

Eventually, I meet a group of bachlorettes who has a list of things they need to do. Okay, these girls seem fun! They want my boxers. Okay, that's way too difficult to pull off, next! Eventually, they make their way over to our table and party with us the rest of the night. J is having a blast fulfilling all their needs off their list. The bachlorette asks for a lap dance, so of course, I have to oblige! I give her the first and last lap dance I'll ever give, which I thought was pretty good, but someone will have to attest to that hahah. Basically, I just did what I saw in movies/imagined a guy giving a lap dance should do. By now everyone's raging I think and standing on the edge of our table (which, by the way, was a super convenient shortcut to the bathroom). There was some guy behind us in like a leopard suit who was getting married the next day, vegas style. I think at one point, the first two bottles run out and the next two come out. Oh my god, we're going to die. Ho_train is getting it on with her dance moves and her and R are pretty much BFFs by now, going off to the dance floor and doing whatever girls do. They may have made out at one point, or maybe that was in my imagination. By the way, everytime I went to the bathroom, I'd go up to a group of girls and tell them they were way too cute not to be drinking at our table. I never remembered what they looked like, so if there were ever random girls approaching our table, that may have been me.

I later see U off at the table next to us in the middle of that group, smoking a cig and drinking their booze and hanging with them. He calls me over and gives me a shot from their table. Hey, we have two bottles of our own here! Haha. Whatever, he's having a blast and I can't deny that shot. I try to take a shot out of one of the bridesmaid's cleavage, and it was the most epic fail ever. I used my hand. I'm pretty faded by now, so I have no idea if the timeline of events are right anymore. Eventually, one of the bridesmaids? Or just some girl starts dancing up on me. I think she's trying to make conversation, but I don't think I'm too coherent anymore. Before I realized what even happened, the club is like empty and Endgame and his friend are talking about getting some food. R, Ho_train, and Kinstock are gone by now. I think we had like 1 full bottle left. It's only about 2 AM and I wanted to finish the bottle....but who am I kidding I was way too gone by then. U was talking about going to a strip club, so of course, in my drunken state, hell yea let's go! I think we all left J whose still getting it on with that bachlorette party. I think our bouncer guy asks for a tip, but I don't think we gave him one. Sorry man! From what I am told, U and I are in the cab about to go to the strip club but the cabbie tells us the cover is like 40. 40!? Okay turn around. We find some random pizza place at the Venetian, I think, and I sort of recall getting two and chowing down. We make it up to our room and I immediately pass out, only to wake up a few minutes later to J jumping on our bed trying to get us to go out more. Dude, I'm done at this point. No can do.

I wake up again at like 6 am (screw time zone changes), and J is passed out on the couch sitting up with a beer in hand. Picture perfect moment, snapped! We all eventually get some food (I think I got panda express again. I feel like this whole TR is an ad for panda express), and head to the airport. Nothing special happens except that I pass out and drool all over myself on the plane and sleep like crazy the next few days and think about when I can return to Vegas.

[AusVIP]

sucha good read. only 7 weeks to go for me....

[Cirilo Medina]

Daaaaaaammmmnnnn! I'm impressed! Really, you got this all covered in a day. And reading it I can feel each shot blur you more and more!

[*ho_train*]

Wow...
Here are some of my thoughts:
1. You're so lucky I was checking my phone, lol...and I answered the door for you too!
2. Your singing was not on point. Sorry...
3. Kentucky was nice...she was chatting it up with R since they were both fans. Saw her the next night at XS.
4. Our security guy Ray, super nice...I'm sad that I and we forgot to tip him. I was too busy having fun.
5. Yah, the bachelorette party from Vancouver! They were fun. We got along since we have Canada in common haha. .
6. You and Jon did a whole bunch of crap with them! Body shots, lap dances, who knows! I'm happy I didn't get to witness your moves...
7. Yep, R and I had our own adventure, hehe. It was fun and a little crazy us doing what girls do lol...
8. I have not drank this much since my mid 20s...I drank more than my two drink limit haha. I had so much fun with everyone and am glad I took this solo trip!

zero really is a crazy outgoing guy. He's hilarious and will go up to random people all night saying the most insane things and sometimes will get away with it...

[KinStock77]

Man I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time I read this haha. Thats WAY more than I remember from saturday night lol. Great job on the TR though and hope to meet up with you again some day!

[zero]

Haha thanks man! I had to write it all last night while it was still kind of fresh in my mind. The TR probably only accounts for like half of Saturday night, so the other half is just a blur of wtf happened.

[wat]

Hearing TR's of JC meetups are great - good TR, sir!

[pobman]

You sound like a wildly overexcited puppy - good job!

[*ho_train*]

You sound like a wildly overexcited puppy - good job!

Lol, that is the perfect description of him! Why didn't I think of that one lol. Sorry zero, hehe.

[Endgame]

Shots out to Zero for an awesome recap of Saturday night! Also a big shot out to ho_train and Kinstock77 as well! I'm glad we were all able to party together and have such a great time. Already missing Vegas with you guys. Definitely got to get another trip to Vegas together sometime soon!
