Ahhh Yeah!!! Damn I love this city. Every time I go, I never get enough of it but by the time I reach my planned exodus, I can’t handle any more of it. There really is too much to do for the young and this whole ploy by the casinos make it a family vacation spot really is more of a hindrance than a remedy to their tourist market. Walkin’ through the casinos, you’re always running into kids, or they’re nockin your drink over trying to get to the next blinky machine they can’t play… At any rate I’ll give the brief break down, with out pictures…I brought a camera, but who wants to carry one around when you need one hand for a Captain and Coke and the other to toss in your chips, use a buffet fork or grab a girl? I had been talkin’ about the trip all week and finally, late on Friday, I take the first available Stand-by flight out of San Jo … off to the Pleasure Dome. I was the last one on the flight and as I boarded the plane this Kat I met at the check in counter named Jared was getting off to go buy who knows what right before the flight was scheduled to leave. Thought nothing of it until we started to taxi down the runway and I saw his Blue Jays shit wearin’ ass running across the concrete right after our 737. Ha Ha Ha haaaa, it was like Liar Liar with out the stairway jacking…
We checked in to the Luxor Hotel at the end of the strip and began the boozing marathon. No plan, no action. Just a crew of 12 college buddies reunited again, with no responsibilities and more money to spend on good times than the last budget trip to LA. Sounds like a receipt for jail, eh? Almost but, not quite… I’ve gotta say Big Up to LEROY for starting this shit off right and getting this trip together. We hooked up a double room suite with the spa on the sunrise side of the Luxor Pyramid…Believe me I took advantage of that one…
Since there was no plan, the plan was to have some good food, win some money, get our groove on at some clubs and meet some people. It’s too hard to keep a crew that large together and when we started off on our first club - RA, everyone split within the first hour. Without going into too many details I’ll break down the highlights in efficient bullet format:
- D Lau goes off in the cages at C2K.
- Ben G wonders off and wakes up shirtless in the parking lot. Kicked out of 5 bars or casinos before finding his budget accommodations for the night.
- Nigel feels up a wall. It must have had tits eh?
- The SLC Utah girls.
- Hamada of Japan - the only decent meal of the trip.
- The RA Breaks.
- Brian’s Birthday. Thank your Mom’s bro for the Pharaoh’s Pheast Buffet, even though I almost puked.
- A Vegas heat wave at 110 F!
- The Spa. We need to use it more next time!!!
- 6 am strippers. Damn they are tore! You were right Dan!
- The MGM Grand Pool - It’s still not the Hard Rock but it’s way above the Excalibur or the Luxor ‘ools
- Crazy Horse Too…On the solo tip-Sunday this place is awesome! You all have to go.
- Getting home to bed…
Notice that there is no mention of great riches taken at the tables. I didn’t gamble that much and when I did, I ended up down only $20 for the weekend. Clubs that we all frequented at various times, windows, and attempts: C2K, RA, Drai’s, Baby’s, Utopia, Studio 54 and the bar at the Howard Johnson’s. All in all it was great to see the boys again. I think we should return in November? Big up to Ben, Dan, LeRoy, Scotty, Nigel, Drew, Brian, JT, Tommy, Casey, B-Pack, and I know I’m forgetting like two boys here (let me know who and I’ll put you up *sorry*) OK. Good to see ya out Shana, Minda and Trace. I always see friends out in LV when I go. When I get the pictures that I did take, they will go in the Friends of Friends Album.
As a tribute to the Devils Play Ground I added a little travel info on the Adventure page for reference. I’ll make it a little more visually appealing when I have the time.
