Vegas Baby Vegas

Spent some of today sending out emails saying “ Just wanted to say, since it has been awhile. Hope all is well…” (I think the line hope all is well, is the most cliché pc line ever to tell someone you could care 2 shits about…).

It is nice to get a breather like this- I do remember the days where I was working 100 hour weeks, so I thought I should take advantage of this . Went to happy hour “Taco Tuesdays” and then the next night went to cha – cha- chas for some tapas. Then feeling especially courageous met with some friends for good ole fashioned beer pong. I am now at the age where weekday drinking kills me. But given my relatively soft schedule and ability to roll into work late and start nights earlier, I have been able to get away it.

Now my friends Yatin, Aashish and Terence had been planning a trip to watch March Madness for quite a bit now. Tickets were expensive and I just figured I would pass. Tickets were expensive, all the additional calories from drinking would negate the 10 straight 6am workouts…however when I got a drunk dial from my friends at 8am in the morning as they had been playing cards all night long, I was like fuck – I need to roll to vegas. While St. Pattys day in the city is supposed to be a treat, I really had nothing planned for the wknd, and I knew we would hit up some tight SCs in vegas. My personal favorite – The Horse.

Got to Vegas only to see Cal lose. Btw, I think and everyone at the book thought Braun should be fired. Good looking chap, but has not taken Cal to the next level. Only good thing about the loss is that powe played awful – supposed to be his coming out party – hopefully now he will reconsider going pro next year.

After losing 60 in 3 hands playing blackjack, we decided that sitting down together was not the best idea. Went on a mini run….and then after losing a 150 hand, decided it was time to roll to Tao. Just like swingers style, we knew we were not going to wait in line. The question was how much it was going to cost us. When the grease cost us 30 only, I knew two things..(i) terence is the man and (ii) the bounce was a freaking idiot, as I would have paid a lot more to avoid a 2 hour line.

Anyhow for those who have not been, Tao is fucking amazing. Especially when you are completely hammered and have an empty stomach. Before leaving the room, I had the leftover mickey d’s from aashish and then has 2 jager shots. Game on. After making small talk with some girls we knew from college, we went to tear it up. At first me and Yat rolled up to take a shot and saw the most sober bacherlorette. I asked her if she wanted to shoot with us. When she asked me for a mailbu and pineapple, I pretended I did not hear her. Who orders juice at a bar?

The night was awesome. Popping one liners left and right. Terence and I even rolled up to some black females, who were around 30-40 and not cute. It was early in the night, and I wanted to polish my game before I went for the big fish out there. Next thing I know Terence and I were stuck in the black abyss/hole and were dancing with them for 20-30 minutes. At this point, I felt like a fool because she wanted to grind and I have no leg muscles. The best part was when Kanyes song came out, and I think I said the N word instead of digger… whatever. I know its bad. Its also bad to ask for a shot of alcohol from a guy just because you can.

The rest of the night is a haze. I just remember it being a lot of fun. Ended up at breakfast with a girl who looked like alicia keys and her of course booty friend. There were some girls who were there from Cal so I went up to meet them, which really annoyed our two guests. Kinda scary actually since it was Terence who was spitting game. When I came back, I knew I was not going to get anything from these girls and would have to pay for their meals. When they paid themselves, I felt bad I was so judgmental and thought I blew a really good opportunity, especially since they were staying in the same hotel as us.


SATURDAY…


Saturday was another great day in Vegas. Played single deck blackjack for 5 hours with a plasma right behind the dealer, which was pretty nice. Instead of trying to gather the energy to go to another club, we decided to grab a nice dinner and hit the lounges and then of course, hit the horse. Went to the steakhouse in the Venetian, where we got hooked up – my coworker who we met there knew the owner so we got a prime table, free appetizers and free deserts. I ordered marlin, which was shitty, and put me out of commission for 2-3 hours. Friends said steaks were substandard (they brought out steak sauce, which is a big no-no), but service was awesome.

We went to the Wynn bar, but at this point I was tired as shit. And funny enough after taking a shit, I got my second wind. Since I know we were hitting the horse next, I got 2 quick shots and proceeded to shoot more black at the club. The horse as usual was awesome, though for the first 5 stage dances no one took my dollar bills which was more frustrating than anyone can imagine. My only guess is some indians were in there before and did not pay…whatever

After we got back to the hotel we began the final gambling session of the night – from 4AM to 10AM . During this stretch I had 5-6 bloody marys, and 3-4 shots of dewars. We were all housed (yat, terence, and I) and making stupid bets. Lots of jokes, lots of wins, and lots of losses. Lost all my scrilla and borrowed 200 and came back 400…

After words, I started to randomly holler at people.

At a girl coming back to the club : “ how was the workout..yeah I need to workout… what did you do treadmill ? that is coo – I can give you a real workout if you want…”

At some randoms moms : used the old “ are u from tennessee? “ line. Then asked for immediate feedback on my technique.

In all it was a great trip. Getting home took 7 hours, as I missed my flight. Not because I was sleeping in a bed, because I feel asleep at the airport in a chair right next to my gate. No one woke me up.

PS. The camera I asked the peon to bring down, did not have a battery, so no pics. Ill see what Terence as and try to figure out how to post pics…..
