Back to Vegas

---

Had another great weekend in Vegas but i'm sure its probably hard not to have a great time in Vegas. Its one of my new favourite cities but not one you can spend too much time at- it can be really expensive and sleep tends to get pushed really far down the list of priorities. We left around noon on the friday and drove the 5 hour trip to get there. This time decided to stay a motel off the strip to save some money- its not like we spend much time there anyway. First night Brian, Amy and I started out gambling at one of the casinos while we waited for Brians brother Andrew to come in on the plane at around midnight. The good thing about Vegas casinos is that while you're gambling, they'll bring you as many free drinks as you want (within reason). After Andrew arrived we went to a club called RumJungle inside Mandalay Bay while Brian and Amy went to change shoes. We got stuck into the shots as well as taking advantage of the attractive girl walking around on the bar pouring rum down peoples throats. After that, we all met up and went to Studio 54 inside of the MGM Grand. This was probably one of the best clubs we went to. Hooked up with this one hot Canadian girl and then when her friend came back from wherever she was, she had checked me out and decided to join in. Kissing two girls at once was certainly one of the highlights of the night. Somehow I accidently lost them when the club closed tho. After that, Brian and Amy went to gamble and didn't see them til the next day. Andrew and I got split up too and I spent the rest of the night meeting heaps of people and gambling. Met a girl from Melbourne and her friend from England who were pretty cool too. Got home around 9am and slept til afternoon.
The next day woke up and went to grab some food from the Hooters Casino. Now thats a great casino. After eating, we got ourselves together, had a few drinks and tried to shake out the cobwebs before going to see Dane Cook. This was the main reason (or excuse is perhaps a better word) for the trip. If you're never heard of him, i suggest you look into it. Hes gotta be one of the funniest comedians i've ever heard. The warm up acts were average, but Dane Cook put on an feckin' awesome show with mostly new material. Afterwards went for more gambling. All four on us then decided to go to a club, but first put in some money each and bet $100US on red. We won and promptly went to spend the money on drinks. All bought yard glasses of margaritas- huge bloody drinks. Then went to Paris - the casino not the city and a club in there but it was lame. Back to Studio 54 and stayed til close. Amy and Brian split for some more gambling while me and Andrew met a funny black dude carrying around a bottle of vodka in a paper bag. He was hilarious so we 'adopted' him and took him with us to another club. Its all a bit hazy after that. It involved more nightclubs, a strip club and more gambling and eventually walking outside at 3PM to be scorned by the hot afternoon sun.
Sunday, after getting back home at 4pm from the night before, decided not to sleep and go out to the floors and win back some of the money i'd spent over the weekend. Won back a couple hundred dollars but it didn't really make a dent in what i'd spent. Lastly, went to New York New York casino and rode a roller coaster before getting in the car and leaving to drop andrew at the airport and drive home.
Brian ended up getting pulled over by a cop doing about 40ks over the limit on the way home at about 3 in the morning and got a ticket but that was otherwise the end of the weekend. Absolutely bloody amazing time, spent over a grand for the weekend and only slept 6 hours.
Also found out Jerry Seinfeld will be playing Vegas in May so might not be long til i'm back there.

Excellent work with the ladies, Las Vegas has to be part of the next trip i take for sure. I like the balancing act, you got skillz. It's my birthday today and reading this is probably the most enjoyable part of it, lame. Keep up this site i'll be sure to keep visiting. Also, is that Studio 54 the main 54 or is it like a franchise?
