here is my vegas report from friday 8/6 till monday 8/9.......
this was suppose to be a bachelor party for my buddy. well he called off his engagement back in may, so 4 of us still decided what the hell lets go to vegas.
mexican = bullet dodger
fat man = fat guy
asian = chinaman
Day 1
fly united out of KC to denver at around 8am. they showed "parks and rec" and "csi" episodes during the flight, and the exact same episodes from denver to vegas. the mexican and myself land in vegas around 11ish vegas time, the asian wont be arriving till saturday evening because of some nerdy computer test he had to take in omaha. the fat man landed in vegas around 8am and is already shitfaced at the airport when we meet him, and i mean shitfaced. take a shuttle to our hotel the aria. very very very nice. simple rough ridin' amazing. rooms had touch screen remote that controlled everything from lights, background music, window shades (ceiling to floor window), tv, ac, etc. nicer than anything we needed. 20th floor up and we (mexican & i) were one room from the SE corner of the whole place. had a view straight down into the pool area. should have packed some binoculars. rooms and flights were $480 a piece thru travelocity.
i basically put zero planning into this trip. everybody else had been before so i relied on them to show me the sites and what not, mistake on my part in the long run, still had a blast while out there.
drop our bags off and head down to the cabby area because we are starving. the mexican and i yell at the fat man for a while because he is drunk and rough ridin' annoying at this point. he takes the hint and promises to behave himself. we get a cab and tell the cabby to take us to an off the wall place, with cheap food and booze that is near by. hello ellis island brewery and casino. lil local place with very cheap shitty micro brew, but great cheap food.
after that we hit the strip. the mexican and fat man cant really decide on what to do at this point. i make an executive decision and decide to knock out the one thing i really wanted to see in vegas, which i learned of here at goEMAW.com. O'Sheas. what a fun crap show type place (ended up spending most of our time in vegas here) that always had something going on. bands playing, karoake, midgets running around, beer pong tourneys, hold'em tourneys, a burger king inside, $1 drinks, and was the one place that we found that was in full swing 24/7.
we all gambled and drank here till around 6ish or so. i played mainly versions of texas hold'em the entire time we were out there. after 4 days i was -$125. we then walked back down to the aria walking thru most of the hotel/casinos on the way back. it was over 100 every day we were out there but the heat wasnt that bad. not like here in kc. you were hot but never broke a sweat. the fat man sweated quite a bit.
get back to the aria. i gamble there for a while while fat man is passed out and the mexican does who knows what and gets cleaned up. i get cleaned up and we go down to hooters to eat. the mexican has to eat at every hooters he sees, weird habit. hooters was not what you would think for vegas. the girls were nothing special at all and just your normal locals. but i dunno if they mumped up or what, but our appitizer of friend pickles was enormous, like 3 times what you would get in KS. i was happy. after eating we start gambling at hooters, fat man says he feels like crap so he goes back to the aria. the mexican proceeds to lose over $200 in about 20min playing 3 card poker. he gets angry we leave and go to the mgm and gamble there till around midnight. we go back to the aria, fat man has cashed out for the night. we hit up O'Sheas again and proceed to drink and gamble the night away till around 530am. the fat man caught a second wind and re-joined us around 330am or so. day 2 coming....
