**Before I start my story of this past weekend, I am going to be trying something new. I am going to create a kind of picture story. I will write everything out but have small thumbnails inside my story leading to a picture that shows that moment. Let me know what you think afterwards! Don’t forget to click the pictures for the larger version!!

Hi!!

As you can see from my title, I had one AMAZING weekend in Vegas for my friend Sarah’s 25^th birthday. This trip had been planned for quite some time and I was extremely excited to get back to Las Vegas as I had not been there in a very long time!

The trip started with me taking Friday off work so that I had enough time to get ready. I then headed downtown to meet up with my friend Jessica who being the extremely hard worker that she is still went in to the office for a few hours.

We took Bart to SFO where we checked into our flight and hopped onto US Airways on our way to Las Vegas! The flight was calm, and relaxed and we got to sit next to each other even though we booked separately! What a view right??

So we hop off the plane and are on our way to the strip. MGM is our first stop where we go in to meet with Sarahs family and start the drinks! It was my first time meeting Sarahs family and they were awesome. Apparently they had already hard a lot about me so it was friend/parent relationship at first site;) Next Stephanie walked in and thats when I knew it was going to be a CRAZY weekend.

Our first night out in Vegas started in the hotel room . We had plenty of drinks to go around and wanted to make sure we looked good for a fun night at the clubs. So out of the hotel and down the strip we go! We made sure to pick up as many club passes on the way as we could from odd looking bell boys who seemed to have plenty. We also made some umm other stops or “randoms” as I like to call them. Our first “real” stop was at Magaritaville at the Flamingo! . Now, we weren’t exactly sure what we were going to do there but drinking and I guess Nachos are a given. It was packed from the first floor to the roof so we made our way all the way to the top to find an open bar. Some drinks please !! The ladies ordered some nachos and I just relaxed as I had already had quite a bit to drink. Oh, and did I mention not eating that day..ya not smart? So after they managed to get through the Nachos, taking some causalities on the way , we headed out. More Randoms of course!! Ummm…wait is that wrong?. So into the next cab! and off to the next stop we go can you tell I am excited? Our next stop brought us to the Bellagio! Wow what a nice lookin place. They had this little christmas land type set up thing going on so what did we think of? PHOTO SHOOT!! did I mention we are all trashed already?? oh ok…… so you get the point. Next stop!! LIGHT! So we get to light and we have cut in line passes and all this crap…remember the bell boy? Ya, so we get pretty much right in, and that is where the fun starts. OH MAN now I am not sure exactly how many drinks I had myself, but lets count them by the size of my smile ya, I had a lot. And I had an amazing time! This place place played some of the best music I have ever heard in a club and we danced the night and early morning away. Take into account that I was wasted beyond my minds memory and you have one fantastic night. . But, the fun must eventually come to an end….NOT! . And that is the very short and censored version of night #1.

The morning after night #1, or the mid-afternoon I guess was not so much fun. (I am still waiting for the day after pictures…don’t worry I will update). To say the least, it was probably one of the worst hang-overs of my entire life and I could not eat, sleep, move or see for the most part. I just laid in my bed like a piece of wash up rotting 20 year old and waiting till my body released me from the hell I was trapped in. At around 5pm I finally felt like I could actually eat something and not get sick so I filled up my tummy and tiny bit and poured myself a vodka tonic. haha, what did you think I was going to stop drinking? We are in Vegas baby.

Night #2!!

Tonight started off with a little bit of an interesting situation. The birthday girls (Sarah) family was going to see KA - the Cirque de Soleil show and Steph, Jes, and I were going to just figure out how to spend that time with ourselves (most likely drinking). But it came up that Sarah had 1 extra ticket and wanted us to figure out who was going to go. So we acted like 3 young, smart adults and 3 hours later after a row-sham-bow and I was going to the show!! (Insider Info: I want with scissors vs. 2 Papers) haha!! Anyways, the show was incredible as I knew it would be and I wish I could show you tons of pics but I only got a few on my phone camera You can see just from these how awesome the theater was. (You can check out more details about the show HERE.

After the show we all met up for dinner, the 4 crazy folks and the family . We ate at the restaurant Red Square . It was incredible. Not only does this delicious Russian eatery have great food (I had seared Tuna ) but also over 200+ Vodkas and is rated one of the best bars in the world. You can get much better than that for a birthday shin dig:) So we did what we do, Drink and then we squashed Sarahs parents heads with our fingers. hahahha ya thats right, we went there. . Don’t blame me, it was Jessicas idea. After dinner the girls had to gamble!! So they each got 1 turn:P crazy chicks throwing away their money

Now it is time to go out again! Getting ready this night was a little different than the first night, but the same sort of things happened and now we are ready to go out again!. Where are we going tonight…..well were weren’t really sure but we ended up getting to PURE and well thats where we stayed because well booze and dancing are hard to turn away. Now, Pure was great and all but I think Jessica handled most of the pictures from that night but from mine you can see we had another great night! And then……..I got to sleep!!! .

Now I know what you may be thinking….where are all the make out and naked pictures! I mean it is Vegas…Well HERE YOU GO

See you later!! I love Vegas!!!
