Most of you know Woo and I went to Vegas for Labor Day. I have been so busy since returning that I haven't gotten a chance yet to blog about it. I thought about blogging a post each day while I was out there but realized quickly that I was not going to feel like doing that (especially when Internet service was $10/day). But aside from the cost, I was too busy doing stuff.
I'm not going to give the full recap of everything we did because it would just be too for a single post. So I'll try to break this up into a couple posts (try). But to begin, I will mention that we hit the following spots:
- The Bellagio
- The Palazzo
- Caesar's Palace
- PURE (in Caesar's Palace)
- Poetry (in the Forum Shops @ Caesar's Palace)
- Caramel (in the Bellagio)
- Hawaiian Tropic
- The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace
- The 40/40 Club ("at the Palazzo, they said it was not so..." - Jay Z)
- The Venetian
- LAX (in the Luxor)
- The Luxor
- South Pointe Casino
- Rum Jungle
- The Palms
- Ghostbar (in the Palms)
- A strip club I cannot remember the name of
The first was the Orleans Hotel and Casino on Tropicana Avenue West of the strip. Not a bad spot to stay. Funny thing is that the day after we checked out (we only stayed here for a day) someone told me that there was a swingers convention going on at hotel.
As soon as we got there (it was early as hell when we got there) we went to the friggin outlet mall of all places. Then to get some food and then we checked-in at the Orleans. From there I was determined to check out the Palms and see the pool. I'd read/heard a lot about a Ditch Friday party at the Palms on Fridays and I was planning on heading there the next day so we headed over to the Palms. And what do we see when we get there that makes me smile???
Needless to say I was confident that the pool at the Palms would not let me down. LOL.
On a Thursday afternoon, the Palms was ok if you'd never been there before but it wasn't enough to keep us there past the 7pm closing time of the pool. So we headed to the strip.
Here we are in front of Paris.
And you know we had to stop and take a picture in front of FatBurger.
"If I wanna squirt her..."
We continued our little stroll down the strip and ended up going into Hawaiian Tropic for 2-for-1 drinks. The pic at the top of the post is from our hour or so drinking session at Hawaiian Tropics. Even though it's 100+ degrees outside, we're in the bar drinking and when you leave out and start walking the strip, there are ALWAYS lots of people drinking out of gigantic souvenir cups. Wild!
Continuing down Las Vegas Blvd we end up walking past a couple young ladies who tried their best to entice us to go to some below-ground bar. And of course, IT WORKED! But first...
They were pretty nice but the bar was completely WACK! We walked in, walked out, and kept it moving down the strip.
One of the things I like about Vegas is that when you're walking down the strip, it seems like every 2 or 3 casinos you walk by, there are people handing out free passes to clubs. Here's a quick look at the collection of club complimentary or discounted passes we got. And this is from the last night so we'd already used up quite a few.
Another common occurrence on the strip (which got on my nerves real quick) is that at certain spots there are always 5 or 6 people in a group handing out "cards" for what I like to call..."escort services". I'm sure you all know what I mean and the first time you get handed a card it's kinda funny. But after the 20th time in a single day someone has tried to give you a card with a number to call and a hooker on there d@mn near naked, it gets pretty old. That is, unless you are patronizing. Which I WAS NOT!
Another thing Vegas is known for is the wedding chapels. We happened to drive right by one on our way to the Orleans Hotel and Casino.
And as nature would have it, as soon as we hit the strip we ran into a couple that had just gotten hitched.
Right before we ran into this couple we went past Bally's (which we never actually went inside of). Bally's would always catch my attention at night because there was always this picture up on a huge screen/monitor outside of a woman with a thong on.
Anyway, I thought the entrance to Bally's was pretty cool so I had Woo take a couple of pics of me standing there.
That night we went to the club, PURE. I'm only going to post one picture from the party because it pretty much sums up everything from that night (LOL)...
I can't quite remember how the drink got there (it wasn't me
To be honest, this (our first) was my favorite party of the entire weekend. Not because of the picture above but because this was the height of my excitement. First night. So much to see. So much to do. And we did quite a bit more.
That's one night down. We were there for 5...
Still to come...

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at you saying, "Funny thing is that the day after we checked out (we only stayed here for a day) someone told me that there was a swingers convention going on at hotel." Of course that would be going on while you're there.
The Palms was about the only place I didn't get the chance to go to while I was there (which probably was good cause my mother was there too, and...) but I love Playboy, I mean not in the same way that men love it obviously, but in a real woman kind of way and I wanted to see that bunny lit up. That's on the list for next time.
Ballys did have a cool entrance, especially at night. That pic with the cup would be cooler if she had real cleavage. That top is keeping that cup sitting up, not her tits.
I saw a couple who had just wed too, which kind of killed the light buzz I had that day. Weddings in Vegas is kind of cheeseballish for me, and I'm the type that would elope, but I digress. Sounds like you all had fun, but I want to hear more, I know you got juice!
I'm not really into the whole "swinging" thing but if I were, this would be the type of luck I'd have.
Palms was nice.
"...but in a real woman kind of way...I wanted to see that bunny lit up..." Hmmmnnnn...SMH.
"That pic with the cup would be cooler if she had real cleavage. That top is keeping that cup sitting up, not her tits." So you're saying I should take it down, no? LOL.
I do not have ANY juice. No bowlshyt.
