So, this past weekend i went to Las Vegas with my Mom, Dad, brother and his wife and i was meeting my best friend and all of her roomates from college. To my surprise MattAaron decided to come last minute and fly out of LA. But we will get back to that later. Our flight was an hour long, but we waited for a taxi for 45 minutes, vegas was by far the busiest i have ever seen it due to some conventions going on in town. So we missed our original dinner reservation at craftsteakhouse in the mgm grand (where we were staying) so we went to Diegos ate a meal in under 15 minutes from beginning to end because we had a show to catch at the Bellagio that my dad got last minute tickets for from his VIP lady for "O". Oh my god the show was fucking unbelievable i assumed we were going to have shitty seats, but nope, we were in the fourth row, close enough to get wet but the short, buff, ambiguous circus folk. "Small hands smell like cabbage." The acts werent as cool as your typical cirque du solei show, but the set was intricate and kept turning from solid to water before your eyes....soo cool.
So after that i had about an hour before i picked MandminLA, so i wasnt allowed to drink, well i get a message saying that he isnt coming cause he lost his wallet and missed his flight, so i called him, and he said he was coming, but with his passport, he postponed his flight an hour, and he borrowed a friends credit card so that he would have money. He came, he was in a bad mood, we drank, i gave him money to gamble and have fun with, we went and met my friends at the Hard rock casino, where my best friend was absolutely wasted. She told me she won 400 dollars and i was like how, and she said an old man gave most of it to her because she was good luck or something, the story was hard to follow and she told it to me 28 times because she was the most wasted ever. (Ps to the Shurries if they read this.....my best friend and i are nay and jay, even though our names are turi and aaron, so i guess its sort of like you guys, but both of us are nay and both of us are jay depending on who is talking and who is listening). We didnt go out that night, but got pretty drunk, met a dealer from missouri that went to high school with brad pitt and dated him, her name was corby and we annoyed the shit out of her cause we were just yelling corby corby corby corby (HO HO's think from the snl skit we watched the previous night with RICK RICK RICK RICK RICK). So that was friday
Saturday was an exciting day. My mom bought matt and i breakfast and then turi and her crew came over to the mgm from new york new york to gamble with us and we played blackjack. But it was so fun because we had an fun dealer, i hate when you get boring dealers which dont give a shit what happens do you. Well we were cheering and all roudy and everyone loved us and thought we were winning big even though we were only betting like five bucks a hand. The good thing is i had earlier decided to stop gambling, and i had 75 fcents that i had in my pocket, and i put it in a machine and won 12, and then i used that money to play black jack and won 120, which was good sine i lost 100 the night before. Everyone was wnining and cheering and partying and the dealer was sad to watch us go. It was fun because we had like four friends playing and hten like eight girls cheering us on so we were able to make a good amount of noise. Fast forward to Dinner at Kraftsteakhouse. Best Place Ever!!!! Just ask matt, he said it was the best meal of his life. It was a niec introduction for him to my family, because he spent a 120 dollars of my dads money on steak and sides and dessert (haha its ok though because they told him to, so dont feel bad). After dinner we went to the "show room" cause the whole reason we were in vegas was because my dad was invited there to shop with his points that he had earned over the year. So i picked out a new digital camera which will be arriving next month, a mini cannon with 4.0 megapixels or something, so excited since my last one got stolen in santa barbara).
Ok on to the partying. Matt and i walked to new york new york to pre party, bought this huge margarita with an extra shot in it (64 ounces to be accurate) drank then went and played roulette, where matt was rolling like a mad man and won everyone at the table money so some guy for bringing him luck gives him 25 dollars. The group split up after that and me and matt and a few girls went to LIGHT in the belagio and i think it was the best club i have been to in LV whereas the rest of the group went to rain and also to the Real world suite because they had friends staying there. They told us it was a lot smaller and uneventful than they expected it to be so i dont feel like i missed out. Our friend Jill got us in to Light for free which was nice because it would have been a 30 dollar cover, so in turn we bought her drinks, danced our asses off, just partied as if it were our job and had one of my favorite nights in vegas, which is saying a lot becauuse i go to vegas a lot. before we got in some old hags were yelling at us for cutting in line, and we were like bitch, you are like 40, no one wants you inside this hip trendy club for elitists like myself and my friends, so we got in, we never saw them agani (so i hope they didnt get in) and they made fun of us, and called us short and ugly. Anyways, we got thorughly wasted, left fairly early, but we were still there for a good 2 hours, went to the mgm and gambled, and i won like 120 dollars more, it would have been closer to 170 but i was wasted, i kept getting in trouble from the dealer for touching my money to early, and i started betting like 50 bucks a hand cause i was winning, matt was losing though so i kept handing him 5 dollars chips and 25 dollar chips and just spending like i was a baller. We went to bed at like 3 which is early for vegas, but we had been up a long time and had an exciting day. WE ordered a burger and three beers from room service, i chugged mine and ate my burger, matt kicked his over and cathy (my brothers wife) never touched hers, we ordered a movie, fell asleep five minutes into it, cathy was throwing ice at us and it went in to my side of bbq sauce, and i woke up in the morning with bbq sauce all over my shirt and my pillow and matt. We woke up the next morning, packed ate, gave some money back to the casino and were out of there by 11.
to sum up vegas was incrdeible, after all the gambling, drinking, eating, cab rides, and what not, i came home with 56 dollars more than i went with. As for matt, he found his wallet, it was at security at his work....so that was exciting, he came to vegas without a penny to his name, and after gambling, eating, drinking, and just being a fool with my money and after he payed my back for the money i lent him, he left with like 40 dollars. All in all our trip to vegas was a success!!! and i cant wait for round 2 over the weekend of the 19th and 20th with the rest of the HO HO crew. Thats it for now.
Love aaron thomas gale
