Rather than bore you with a play by play of what we did, i'd rather just point out why i love Vegas sooooo much. As well as you all know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas :P
1. Toilets were accessible 24/7. I have the world's smallest bladder even at the best of times when i'm not consuming large amounts of alcohol. It's always a pain in the ass to try and find somewhere that is open or where i don't have to purchase something first. In Vegas there are so many casinos, bars, hotels that are open all the time that it was never a problem to stumble into one while drinking on the street.
2. Which leads me to this one. You can drink anywhere and everywhere. I kept forgetting and would try to finish my drink and then leave wherever i was. When really i could have walked down the street with it to my next location. As well some clubs close at 5am and serve until then. On our last evening there we managed to meet some people from TO and drink till 9am with them at a small bar/casino. This is where we took turns taking pictures with this particular gentleman that was passed out all night long :)
3. The weather was phenomenal. Obviously it is a dry heat so even when it was like 100 degrees it wasn't unbearably hot. Plus i love the sun. I'm like that old lady in There's Something About Mary except i complain non-stop about my developing wrinkles and continue to lay out in the sun anyway.


4. Vegas is so incredibly gaudy and trashy, but at the same time it's beautiful. Everything is done on such a grand scale and the hotels were just amazing. They have pregnant women handing out the porn cards, you know the order her up to your room type of cards right outfront of the beautiful water show at the Bellagio. Best of both worlds i suppose.
5. The locals were extremly helpful. We had one girl who worked at a hotel offer to try and get us passes to a club. She called and left a message that she got them for us and offered to meet us outside the club so that we would have them for the evening. This was great as most of the clubs have enormous cover charges like $30 to $40 just to get in the door.

6. The deuce. It's this bus that costs $5 for a 24 hour pass that will take you up and down the entire strip. Very cost efficient but the slowest thing on earth. It took us like 45 minutes to go anywhere, however it was highly entertaining. 2 older women got on with Mardi Gras beads. Nathan asks if they were out partying to which they reply "oh no" Nathan then asks where they got their beads and they answer The Rio. Nathan then leans over to me and asks if i think they showed their tits and comments that they would really only have to lift the very bottom of their shirts in order to show them. Another man got on that mentioned very loudly that he was from Detroit, his name was Rory and then spelt it completely wrong and yelled that he sold his car to purchase a bus pass. Pure class ...

7. Heather's wedding was wonderful and very different. It was in a hotel outside the porn district, Reverand Cotton performed the ceremony and Elvis sang 3 songs. This particular Elvis was apparently rather well known, he's been in movies and such things. However, he was very strange, we were all questioning whether he was perhaps drunk or high as a kite. In any event the whole ceremony was very entertaining and unique. This brings me to the other brides. You see quite a few people walking around in wedding attire and most are very jovial and happy and having a good time. We ran into one women who was pure white trash. She was fat, looked as though she may have been missing teeth, she was wearing a veil and a black tank top with no bra and a white skirt. Her man was wearing a ball cap, a plaid shirt and looked to be quite older. They were sitting in our hotel eating hotdogs at the deli. We decide we need a photo pronto. I take one as they are getting ready to leave and get their backs so as to not be obvious. Nathan approaches the bride and asks if he can have a photo with her. She yells "hold on ma" into her cell phone and rolls her eyes at him. Her man walks over and says "I don't think so" very rudely and they walk off. I was dying laughing.

8. There was this one particular corner of the strip that we spent many hours at, drinking and people watching in the wee hours of the morning. It was insane, the outfits we saw, the people we talked to and the goings on on the corner. We saw a girl surrounded by like 10 guys pissed out of her brain, bending over and jiggling her tits for them, we were sure a gang bang was about to occur. This one man was screaming into his cellphone at the top of his lungs for about 10 minutes, i took a video of the last few seconds of said phone call but have no idea how to post it on here. I saw a 300 pound woman squeeze into a dress that was so short and so tight her ass was literally hanging out. I wish that corner had a webcam set up for all to see, i would watch it religiously.

9. The light show at Fremont Street was also phenomenal. Again i took a video but have no idea how to post it, picture will have to do. We ended up down there during some Nevada Gay Pride day which made the festivities even more entertaining, they even had the protesters out there with their Jesus signs, good lord.
10. I loved Vegas because even though i am not a gambler at all (i mangaged to spend $2 in total on a slot machine) there is so much to see and do. I would love to go back and see the Cirque Du Soleil show "O", i would love to sit on that corner and people watch all day long again for as long as possible. I don't think i've ever laughed so hard as i did sitting on that corner, it was ridiculous.

I'm so glad you posted about the trashy bride, I was trying to describe this to Sly earlier, and I just wasn't doing it any justice.
I didnt know you took a picture of those two old women with the marti gras beads...priceless.
I'm glad you're back. It sounds like a VERY interesting trip. Good times =)
What about the Grand Canyon?
Jennifer i will try that site one day.
PP sure did!
SS we decided against it as there was far too much to see in Vegas. That will have to be a whole other trip.
I'm so so jealous. I want to go so bad.
Wow a porn district! I was planning on going to Vegas this year, but I might need to go this weekend.
