Vegas

On Friday November 19th, I went to a free crop at Remember When before driving down to Huntington Beach to stay the night with Miri. I didn't get there until about 11pm and then we of course talked for hours because we never get to see each other. The next morning we got up bright and early to begin our Vegas Adventure to celebrate Kim's birthday!!

Kim, Miri, Stacey, me and our chaffeur Sean (Kim's very sweet boyfriend who braved the five hour drive with a car full of chatty girls ;)) rode up to Vegas together. We stopped in Baker to take a picture with the world's tallest thermometer at Miri's insistence:
We checked into our amazing room at the Hard Rock and then headed off to explore the strip. We walked through the Venetian and grabbed a quick lunch before window shopping in Caesars.
Next we used some coupons to grab drinks at the Bellagio. We had the best bartender who seemed like she was either going to quit her job that night or attempt to get fired and eventhough she seemed to hate the world, she really liked us and gave us free shots. After a few drinks we giddily made our way through the Bellagio and had a little photo shoot with the Fall display. Unfortunatly those pictures were taken on someone else's camera so I can't share them with you, but if I remember correctly they were really funny!

After the photo shoot, we went outside to watch the fountain show and were surprised by the beautiful night sky with a full moon and the Eiffel Tower reflecting on the water.
After the fountain show we went back to the room to get ready for dinner at Pink Taco. I, of course, had to order the "pink tacos," which have tons of pink pickled onions piled on them. I also had the most delicious Mango Margarita (and a shot of tequila to kick off the night).
After dinner we went to Tryst. We ended up meeting this really nice guy from NY (and his strange sidekick friend) who invited us to there table. Seconds after we got to the table a crazy, scary fight broke out next to us that caused all the drinks on our table to break all over the floor and couch! It was scary for a few minutes, but everyhting ended up being ok and they moved us to a better table right near the dance floor. Then they came and moved us again to an even bigger table and kept bringing us more bottles. After a few hours of fun at Tryst we went over to XS. I must say it was pretty impressive! We all had such a fantastic time!
After XS, Miri and I went with NY Guy to Drais to drink champagne. We eventually decided to call it a night and got a cab back to the hotel. On our way back to the room decided to stop and play some pokies and Kim's favorite fish slots seemed like the perfect choice!
You know it has been a good night when you get back to your room just as the sun comes up!! For only having one night in Vegas we sure lived it up (and I think Sean enjoyed the peace and quiet on the drive home)!! Happy Birthday Kim!!! Thanks for inviting me to be part of a great weekend!!
