Oh boy. This past weekend, my friends and I went to Vegas. We also met one of our out of town friends there. It was 48 hours of drinking, gambling, and being crazy. And it was a BLAST!
Recap here we go...
Thursday morning, bright and early, after witnessing the longest security lines ever at the Portland airport, we boarded a giant steel bird to Las Vegas!
I apologize for the creepy side eye. Ohh and bonus points for taking April's plane-ginity! That's right, her first time on a plane!
We drank on our flight, landed, grabbed a cab to Planet Hollywood, and met up with our friend, Eric.
I received this response from my dad when I said we made it to the hotel...
He knows us too well!
After the breakfast buffet (holla!) and a quick nap in our room, (which I didn't actually sleep because everyone and their dog thought it would be a good time to call and text me) we headed down to the casino for some slots!
Umm hello, cute chihuahua penny slot! You know I had to play that one...
After losing $5, we ventured outside and just walked around. Here are my standard, annoying-as-hell scenery pictures...
Chandelier Bar at the Cosmopolitan. The goal is for it to look super swanky, but in my opinion, it looks like dollar store beads...
Now, I loooove a good mojito. How about a 24oz mojito? Sounds good to me! We stopped and people watched outside Caesar's. People watching in Vegas is the best ever. EVER.
After we were all thoroughly buzzed, we hiked down to the Venetian to a bar that Eric wanted to go to. He was on a quest for sour beers and we found some!
We had a few drinks at Public House, including this sour beer. April liked it because there was a cat on the bottle. Oh, and they had iPads as menus! Crazy!
I became obsessed with The Hangover slots. You don't even know how much money I threw away on this thing. Actually... I don't know how much either because the drinks were a-flowin'!
This is the picture I sent to Mrs. Wookie with my Long Island. Long story short is that she's a hater of me and my LI's...
My bestie and I at another random bar where we enjoyed some Jager bombs. My parents don't like Jager. Are they CRAZY?!
Friday afternoon, we walked to the Monte Carlo and went to Minus 5. Aka: a bar made of ice. It was so much fun and lets just say things got a liiiiiitle crazy!
We had dinner Friday night at Burgr, Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Planet Hollywood. It was so good, but my memory of it is a little fuzzy. I do remember having the world's best jalapeno poppers, though!
One of the best vodka tonics I've ever had!
April and Eric at dinner. Say it with me, "awwwwwwwww."
After dinner, we walked to the Bellagio where we proceeded to watch the fountains for an HOUR! We kept hoping for at better song. Thursday when we watched, they played the Celine Dion Titanic song. Looooove. But Friday the best song was (shout out to my dad!) "Time To Say Goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli.
We woke up Saturday at the crack of dawn but feeling like champs. No hangovers here!
One last look from the airport. The weather was so amazing!
Do you have SnapChat? If not, you should get it. I sent this to my other friends to show that I was alive and well. I clearly have no makeup on but I'm not looking totally horrible, right?!
Vegas was such a blast and I'd go back again this weekend if I could.
I have about 2 weekends from now until the end of the term that I DON'T have something going on. Busy, busy, Buggy!
Have a good night and cheers to warmer weather!
