So me and 2 other buds, Chris and Craig, are heading to Vegas next weekend. Sat 10/10- Mon 10/12. Craig and I are new roomates. Chris and I have been good buds and a dynamic and outrageous Vegas team for the past 3 or 4 yrs.The saga begins early in the 10th... Here we go...
SATURDAY
6am ---We wake up in Irvine, CA. We're running a bit behind schedule because Craig forgot his ID and Chris had to take a 30 min dump before we left the pad.
8 am--- Barstow. The town that was developed solely to cater to the Vegas road-tripper. Chris is having withdrawals cuz he hasn't has his iced coffee from Starbucks yet. Craig is completely passed out in the back seat. We stop to grab Chris his coffee and we all grab a quick bite at some random fast food joint. However, we all have our eye on the prize to get to Vegas well before noon to place wagers on noon ncaa fb games. Off we go to I-15 N.
10:30 am--- Vegas, there it is!!! The happiest time in any degenerates life is when they turn that desert corner and see the strip hotels for the first time. We start discussing our immediate plans for the day and strategize our game.
Noon--- So we're all checked into the hotel and it's that time of the trip where you're overwhelmed with all there is to get done. Gamble, drink, party, wander the strip, ladies, bet, hookers, buffetts, pools. Holy crap, where do we start??? Well, lets throw down some sports wagers and then check out the hotel a bit , maybe throw down on a couple black jack hands and hit the pool. We'll check up on our bets in a bit. Chris decided to put down a $100 football parlay to win $5k, oh no, here we go again! Dont get mad if it doesn't hit Chris- it pays 50/1 for a reason.
4 pm--- We're in full fledged degenerate gambling mode, and are back in the sportsbook waiting for the big ncaa nite game. We all have hundreds on it and Craig's mouth is resting on the floor as he cant believe two individuals have done this much gaming in a span of 4 hrs. He was thinking things would start a but slower, but we're buzzin and need to feel a win!!! Throw down a couple hundo Craig, Florida's got this!
7 pm--- Glued to the TV in the sportsbook. Have ran outside a few times to play a couple hands, but not for long. It's half time and our bet could go either way. In our drunken state, we decide to also bet the half time line- what the hell Chris, are you sure they're gunna cover this??? We begin discussing our eveing plans, but nothing said really matters cuz we all know that the plans are entirely dependant on the outcome of the game.
9 pm--- Our bets hit, F YEA!!!! We're excited beyond belief cuz we're all up hundreds. We're completely hammered and decide to hit the room to drink even more before we hit the strip and go out at night. We enter our room and although we've only spent a total of 45 mins in there so far, it has the appearance of someones kitchen after Katrina hit. We all slug down about 3 vodka drinks, put some decent clothes on and hit the strip.
11:30pm --- What the hell??? Where is Craig? We lost our buddy Craig in the club so we left and decided to try our luck at the nearby casino at Monte Carlo. We keep trying him on the cell but arent connecting. We needed a break from $10 beers anyways. Oh, there's Craig - he see him enter the casino with a group of three girls that we were momentarily hanging out with at the club. Good job Craig... whats up ladies?
2am ---- so things are pretty rediculous at this point. Not really sure if I'm up or down in the random gambling we've been doing but I reach in my pocket and have 2 cab cards, 3 hooker flyers and a sportsbook ticket that says it has a potential winning of $400. Im completely infatuated with figuring out if the ticket is a winner, but it takes me a half hour do find out that my 3-team parlay from earlier didnt hit and thats why it's still in my pocket. Chris was telling me the whole time that it didnt hit but I didnt trust him and needed to check the book anyways.
4 am --- Ring, ring, ring. Those girls from earlier are calling, but they want us to come meet them at the dam Palms- oh jeez, decision time. Thats always the ultimate risk vs reward evaluation that you must perform whenever you meet girls in Vegas. We do it per Chris' conquest for action on this trip. We show up at the palms at 5 am, play some cards with them and head back for some after hours partying in room 6411!!! good night Vegas!
SUNDAY
9:30am --- Chris, Craig, let's go!!! We're in Vegas. I'm always up about 3 hrs before the rest of the crowd would wish to rise and shine so i wake them and we hop in a cab back to our hotel to throw down on the morning nfl games- we gotta hurry tho cuz they start in a half hour. I guess those chicks are likely out of our lives. Whatever, later girls.
Noon --- Very hungover, Chris wont start drinking yet cuz he wants to eat breakfast first. Craig and I are on our 2nd bottle of Andre champagne that we purchased from the MGM gift shop for $8. We're buzzin a little, got a moderate amount of $ on the a.m. games, but we're really all pretty miserable and should probably put a plan together. Chris, no, no u may not take a nap today.
2 pm --- We're back on track! After cashing in pretty good on the morning games, it cured Chris' hangover and he's now joined the party. Day 2 really starts at this point.
5 pm --- After not paying too much attention to the 1:00 nfl games we decide we're gunna go big on the night game just as we did the night before. We're all up roughly $350 so we put it all down and post up at the Mandalay Bay book to watch the game. We have drinks flowing like crazy and are all in good spirits after having a great past few hrs wondering the strip and getting a butt load of free drinks while playing even BJ at various casinos.
9 pm--- Holy Crap dudes, we're up $1k! We won our fb bets and also seemed to have picked up an additional $300 at the roulette table.
3 am--- How the hell did we get here? We started off in a cab wanting to go to Tryst at Wynn to check that out. Somehow the cabby talked us into going to a strip club off-strip. We spend about 1 drunken hour there, but it's not really our thing and it's getting pretty late so we hop back in a cab back to MGM. The details of the rest of the evening we cant recall, but the following items are in our room the next morning to bring back our memory:
wheelchair, 1 gallon of milk, a 7-iron, hamster and half a turkey leg.
10 am--- what the hell bro??? Thats what Chris said as I breathe heavily over him and open the window shades. It's that time...oh no. how the hell did 48 hrs just go by in 48 mins? we pack up our crap, take a quick shower, leave $5 for the maid as the room is a disaster and check-out. We somehow lose 2/3 of our winnings at the tables on our way out, then it somehwow takes us 6.5 hrs to drive home when it's only 280 miles away. We sware that we're gunna fly next trip. We also sware that were gunna start eating healthy, working out more and arent coming back for the rest of 09.
