Well I don't exactly have a bucket list, number 1 because I'm too young and number 2 because I can barely plan my weekends much less where I want to go/see before I die. With that being said, I got an email sometime back in the winter that my cuz Mary wanted all of us to go out to Vegas for her 30th birthday in May.
My initial reaction was... HELL YEAH! I mean come on, who in their right mind would NOT want to go to Vegas at least once in their life, much less accompanied by some of my fav crazies! Well it all came to fruition this past weekend and let me just say it was (insert curse word) AWESOME! VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!! I would definately go back there again if approached by the right group of people, but for now I'm saying I can check that off my list of places to go in life.
It's the most insane place I've ever been. The people were as completely outrageous as I'd heard and it was well worth seeing first hand. I loved everything from the devil with his butt hanging out in platforms on the street, to the architecture to the crazy hoochies everywhere.
My sister Maureen (who I used "borrowed" the idea to start my own blog) listed the things she learned in Vegas... and believe me it was hilarious! Here are some of my highlights:
I had my first beer at 12:30pm on Friday and didn't stop til I bumped into a lady at the pool and asked Maureen to walk me up the room at around 5:30pm. Slept from then til 12 when I woke up to eat my tacos and then pass out again til 2:30 am when I woke up for the day.
At 2:30 am Maureen, Jenny and I went to the casino with Mary for her last hoorah as a 29 year old. She went to bed and we went over to NY, NY casino and walked around, went to CVS on the strip at 3:30 in the morning and then went back to the room where we got Mom. Went to starbucks and got her a coffee, met some brits from "Mansfield" in the hallway, where my Mom gave out one special "proper mum cuddle" (insert a really good british accent)... can't do it justice writing it.. but a pants wettingly hilarious meeting!
Got breakfast in "Paris", went to the pool and out to dinner at Caesar's Palace, saw the fountain show at Bellagio and gambled the slots. Pretty much stayed up for 24 hours Saturday. Went to bed, got up and had breakfast in "NY, NY and then got on a plane and came home.
I had a stomach ache til Monday from all the laughing I did.... Maureen flooded the bathroom from the shower, we had a pair of dirty guys underwear hanging from the bathroom door when we checked into our hotel, stayed in a hotel where lions live, peed my pants- literally, met spiderman, batman, slayed Darth Vader with a Light Saber, hit Superman over the head with an inflatable hammer, saw Edward ScissorHands (all on the strip), was brought to tears by the fountain show at the Bellagio, lost $60 playing slots and saw more hoochies in one place than I have in a long, long time! On the flight there saw the Rocky Mountains and Grand Canyon from the plane! Got to celebrate my Rock Star cousin Mary's 30th birthday in Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!
All in all, an unbelievable trip! Loved every second of it!
