Just now got back from Vegas.... ugh, so tired.
Its been hectic lately. Where to start....
-Amy has yet another new bf. Grats to her, but my real concern is she has ninja'd my psp which is fuckin crap.
-Work is getting stressful, a lot of things have come up and now that we are practically down to bare bones staff, its getting messy. I'll live. I need to switch to salary or get paid weekly. Fucking taxes are murdering me..
-Been rocking my new haircut. I dig it. I got tons of compliments in vegas. Justin lives there now so I should be spending quite a bit of time there.
-Boss got me tickets to the UNLV-AF game, so I left Friday after noon to Vegas. Here is the story:
Get there and we stay at Treasure Island. TI has a place called "The Nightclub, by Christian Audigier". See also; Ed Hardy, etc. Decent place. I love the casual interaction. We get VERY drunk and leave to start gambling. At one point we were in the high roller vip section and I swear to god, Sarah Silverman starting playing blackjack with us. LONG story about the debate whether it was her. (90% sure it was). After winning and losing for an hour or two and two GIANT classes of Tuaca *twitch* Spencer takes it upon himself to call some girls back to the room and demanded we attend. Justin decided not to go, I did. Hilarious situations were soon to follow. Spencer passes out and I leave the room (side note: I love my new cologne). Justin and I gamble a lot more and drink until 7am. Bedtime.
We wake up at 10am and go to cheesecake factory for lunch. Bloody mary's and salads :). Off to the locals casino to the bookie lounge to watch the ohio state game. I love the bookie area. Every game playing, private tv, gambling, free alcohol... what more could you want? We played some double deck super fun 21 afterward. WOOHOO. Basically its blackjack but you can still win 21 if deal hits 21. bonus for suited blackjacks, pair bets, and surrendering.
Enter UNLV tailgate in the student area. Grilling, many beers, a few dead baby jokes, and oggling of many hot girls, and it was time for the game. Great game, good company. Nuff said.
Back to the casino. We went to the Wynn, where the hottest people in vegas are ... jesus. Tryst, the club there ... just wow. We went back to Treasure Island and snagged some food. Well let me rephrase that. I ate the best sushi of my life and it will never be topped as long as I live. Setting the scene up. Its a tiny sushi joint with a cool bar in front, a socialize bar in the middle and private dinning tables, communal tables, and patio tables above the nightclub from earlier. The decor is amazing, even the bathrooms with the zen gardens with running water were cool. The waiter asked what we wanted and we were talking about ordering some random things for sampling. He said let me take care of you, we said ok. Keep in mind it was after Midnight. He brought back 4 courses, starting with a spicy yellowtail with garlic and jalapenos, next were a hot and a cold dish that complimented each other amazingly. Last were Kobe beef miniburgers. The chef then sent out a custom roll he created on the spot. Every single thing was the most amazing thing I have ever eaten. The entire meal ended up costing 120. That was insane for 3 people and the quality of the food.
Lastly, the next day (sunday, today) we snagged some really decent burgers at the fashion mall place, and did some shopping. I have a new favorite store. Zara. I nearly spent all of my money there but held back. I did snag a very awesome charcoal fedora...
I made reservations for the weekend after Thanksgiving for the smashing pumpkins concert in vegas... and got myself a safety net hotel room for new years as well. I will try to use connections to get a better room till then. I will be in New Mexico at the end of Nov. for at least 2 weeks. Ribbon cutting for the runway is on Halloween. The governator will be there.
ps- I like my new icon. I dig mars volta. good music
