What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

Unless you read this. I had such a good time!!
The day started off me lost and driving in circles on Las Vegas Blvd. Harriette was waiting in the Valet at Ceasars palace because she had to go return the rental car. So after an hour (you would have thought getting into Ceasars Palace would be easy) It was only I kept going the wrong way. Finally I found her waiting in her car, I would have missed her had she not been screaming my name out the car window.
We returned the car to the airport and then dropped all my crap off in the suite.
THE ROOM WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!! These are actually real pictures of the suite they were in.
It turned out that Rob (Harriette's boy friend) his uncle is a high roller at Ceasears and they got this room free for a whole week. There was a plasma TV in the bathroom with a jet tub and a huge 2 people glass shower. It was in the new wing they just finished building. It was so nice and the bed was heaven!
So we started our day getting breakfast we went to Bally's across the street from the hotel, somehow someone said they had a good buffet but it was gross. We stomached what we could and then walked it off on the strip. It was so nice to get caught up and have some girl time. I have been to Vegas like 7 times now and I am still surprised at how the time gets away from you. We checked out a few of the casinos and found a cute little outdoor bar that we got our first drink. (the first of many) It was so cold out (cold in comparison to Cali) and you could certainly tell who was local and who was from out of town. The locals were walking around in winter coats and hats with mits and the tourist had shorts and T-shirts on.
We went back to the hotel to start getting read for ladies night. Because I had been to Vegas quite a few times before I knew to keep it cheap we would need to pre-drink. Because we had stopped to gamble I was already 2 sheets to the wind (I have become a light weight) with all the free drinks we had at the tables. See I learned the first time I went to Vegas in order to get "GREAT" drinks the first time the waitress comes by, make sure to tip her $5. Seems like a lot I know but then the drinks keep coming and coming. Also the drinks are a lot stronger than they would be other wise. So I had also come to Vegas prepared because I had a bottle of Raspberry Vodka with me.
WE showered (which sobered us both up)
We did the typical girl fashion show to decide what to wear. Rob came back from gambling, and we all decided that it would be a good idea to have food in the bellies before we ravaged them with alcohol.
Ceasars has a great little food court and we stopped by the club we wanted to go to, to find out how much cover was and drinks. It turned out that PURE the club we wanted to go to was only open on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED!
PURE is the #1 club in the states and I was really looking forward to letting loose on the dance floor (This girl can grove!)
So the doorman tells us that TYRST at Wynn was the best club to go to on a Thursday night, but because it was soooo cold we really did not want to leave the hotel.
We went to "The Pussycat Lounge".The women were so beautiful and the show was great. I found it strange that other than a handful of other women in the lounge it was all quaking men. I was guilty too. There was a lot of ass shaking, leg lifting, toe touching action. The lead "Pussycat" had a voice on her like Christina Aguilara. The only thing I would say was bad about the whole thing was that it was all standing room, unless you paid the 2 bottle minimum for a table which was $600. So you had all these people standing around and 5 empty tables/couches that if you wanted to use you had to pay for the bottle minimum. They do this in Hollywood too, which is not a cool thing but it makes the clubs a lot of cash. Not to mention it saves the "high rollers" from having to go to the bar to order drinks. The bottles are left on the tables with ice and mix and they drink as they please.
AHH what it would be like to have money to blow. I think its a great idea if you have a bunch of people, you could easily spend $100 out on a night on the town so if you all pooled your money. Ok Off topic.
So after we saw the show the lounge emptied out, and all the loser people who paid $600 for a table were left there to listen to a DJ spin.
We took up shop in the sports book with our pre-made-fit-in-your-purse-drinks to have a few more. At this point we are so inebriated we digress back to the days we first met. It was so nice to get caught up. Roots started to grow out of our asses to the chairs and we had a good laugh at all the old people walking around, and falling asleep in the casino. And we had heard the song "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" For the 7th time (we were right beside the pussycat lounge). We decided to explore, about a (what should have been a 1 minute walk) 10 minute walk we arrived at the "Shadowbar" This picture is hard to see but behind the bar there were naked ladies dancing and there shadows are casted across the screen.
It was a nice bar, small but nice. Drinks were $21 CRAZY! So after a few shots at the bar and Harriette flirting with the bartender we got some cheap STRONG! drinks. It was so much fun.
I am such a people watcher and it was a great place to watch people. We sat on a nice couch facing the bar and chatted while we sipped our STRONG vodka cranberries. We fantasize about being able to dance behind the screen and how we would be so great at it. WE WERE SO HAMMERED AT THIS POINT! And being that we only had to crawl up to bed we kept drinking. I think if I remember correctly at one point I think I got sick. No I did not get sick I felt like I was going to get sick. We made friends in the bathroom, which is something I have not done since I was in Canada.
I think its funny how women bond in the bathroom. And hey its Vegas. There was a lady with a peacock in her hair. You had to be there but it was hilarious, every time she walked by we did our best impression of a "PICAW, PICAW" at the top of our lungs.
We talked about how old we were and how 3 years ago there would be no way we would have turned down the chance to go to a club with 10,000.00 other people.
Its funny how things change. For the better.
