Hi ladies!
I hope everyone is having a marvelous week so far! I am sorry it has taken me so long to come back to the disboards; I was celebrating my best friends (Cat) graduation from CSU Long Beach in Vegas! My mom was telling me a group of you were going and that thanks to beth you got really good deals on some shows! Lucky! I didnt get a chance to see any shows other than the pirate one where the ship catches on fire but I am going back in october so hopefully I can see one then! Here was a recap of my trip:
Sunday:
We arrive at 2ish and head out to Tao Beach where we get into an exclusive pool party (Cats sister knew someone in the band). We get traumatized by watching three women get carried away in wheel chairs and stretchers with IVs in them. They looked horrible and so we immediately started drinking water in between every alcoholic beverage we had! The party was a blast though and we made friends with people to share their couch area because it was super packed! Then we went to dinner at a sushi place at Treasure Island with Christines (Cats sister) friends that are performers. We watched the pirate boat show they have and had great food!
They paid for the bill (over $200) so that was really nice of them! They got us into the club downstairs from it (Christian something) and it was pretty dead so we started drinking and dancing on our own. Thats when some guy from Rhose Island came in and he came right over and started talking to me. He tried to introduce his cousin but the girls werent having it (the cousin was a doofy looking guy) so the cousin left and Josh and I went dancing until 3ish. I found out that he was there for the jewelry convention there and he said he worked in sales for a family company. He asked me if I liked pearls (the only ones I know of are the Tahitian ones my parents got me) and when I said that I liked the Tahitian ones, next thing I know he is pulling up his sleeves to show his cuffs (Tahitians pearls
beautiful ones I might add!) and so I got excited that he liked nice things (I even made him show Cat
looking back on that now, I feel retarded, but whatever). He walked us to the taxi pick up and said good night there.
Monday:
We wake up around 10ish and head down to the Bare Lounge at the Mirage. Little did we know, the lounge lives up to its name!
We get there and we start looking around and the women all have their tops off! Well, Cat and I both look at each other and decide why not!?
We didn't get sunburned at least thanks to sunscreen but that was an odd experience! So then we went back to the room and took naps. We went to Margaritaville for dinner and I got a giraffe balloon! (I was super sad though because I made it all the way to LAX and the head came apart so it looks like a limp noodle with squares on it now.
) On the way back to our hotel room to change, we got free shots at Rock Show (they have a tire swing on their bars for the bartenders to swing on..it was insane!
) We went to the Ghost Bar in the Palms first and ran into Josh (he was with clients from Macys) so he said good bye to them and met up with us (apparently the rep from Macys was hitting on him but she was married so he ditched her and came to see me
) and we took some pictures of the gorgeous views! (this was my favorite for the view) and had a drink and went to the Playboy Club next door. We only stayed there maybe 30 seconds before we were back in the elevator (it was mostly for gambling and we arent big gamblers
we like to DANCE!
) and headed to Club XS at the Encore hotel. Once we were at Club XS, OMG! It was amazing!! Anyone who is into clubs or just relaxing should definitely look into it! The dance floor opens up to this beautiful pool with lounges inside the shallow parts of the pool. We chilled on the lounges in the pool and danced the night away!
Tuesday:
But we had to leave by 3:30 to leave for the airport by 4:30 (we didnt sleep) but by the time we got there, the flight had been cancelled due to the flight crew not showing up so we were stuck at the airport until 9:40 when the next flight left.
I tried sleeping on the floor of the airport but was really uncomfortable and it was super loud so I only ended up with maybe 2 hours of sleep. Of course, I lose my eye contact while I am sleeping so Im half blind and cranky from being sleep deprived. Then Cat gave me half of her breakfast burrito but it made me super sick. Then as soon as we get on the plane, I start vomiting like crazy and they have to get me napkins and more bags and ginger ale. It was so embarrassing! I havent ever gotten sick on a plane before and I fly all the time! I was able to get another 30 minutes of sleep at least but ugh I felt awful! I finally got home by noon and missed my first summer school class. I was so exhausted I slept until 4 and went to my last class. Overal, the trip was a blast! A little rushed, but man, was it fun!
Hope you girls have a ball when you go to Vegas! Mom has told me some of the exciting events you have lined up and Im jealous!
Beth, I'll need to ask you where the good places to go are next time I go out!
I hope you have a wonderful day! That was really sweet of Shane. And Shebly for that card. What a sweetie! 
Seriously, calling yourself "eye candy"????
*that's a whistle*
What a thoughtful family you have! Loved reading your happy story this morning! Have a great day!
