Trip #6: Viva Las Vegas!

Saturday February 17th, 2007


















You know you're in Las Vegas when there are slot machines to greet you at your airport gate. ha! So....it is NBA Allstar weekend for the first time in Vegas - a city that doesn't even have it's own professional team... It is also the hotspot for Michael Jordan's bday & Paris Hilton's bday bashes. - maybe I'll spot a celeb...(ps in the pic...we're posing with a wax figure)...so no. we didn;t spot a REAL celeb haha



















Let's just say it was absolute havoc - an extra 250,000 people were on the strip (on top of the expected # of tourists)+ free flowing alcohol + a whole lotta weed & goodness knows what else = havoc. It took us 2 hours just to get a cab! (cause of the NBA games/jams), we eventually made it to the Excalibur where Anita & her friends were staying. Let me just say that the NBA seems to bring out the HOOCH in everyone. I've never seen soooo many terrible outfits (and in such small sizes)....Jess said that one girl actually FELL out of her shirt in the elevator. lovely. We quickly realized that hoe or not (NOT...definitely a not haha), we were hit on like every few ft we walked...hilarious.





















Anita's hotel was a massive castle on the outside. These casinos were so huge! We made our way to the Bellagio for supper, and after that we decided were going to try to get into a ritzy club!!! We waited in line to get into one of THE clubs - PURE - in Caesar's Palace - which I believe is where the Pussycat dolls started! We waited in line all dressed up in heels, Anita showed some leg, and we got in! No cover! haha.

Inside there were white leather couches blocked off for the high rollers, and dance/standing areas inbetween. It was pretty cramped, the music not so good...but HEY, we were in a classy club! Oh yes, and we all got hit on like a ridiculous amount...it was pretty funny. Eva Longoria & her boyfriend __ Barker? were supposed to be there, but were no shows/ well I assume - I left early...haha yes i'm lame.

Here's a Chineese New Year Banner: (It was gorgeous - all the casinos were decorated in red & gold)
