I am a bunch of sneezes...
Weekend Fun
Man oh man, I am pretty darned tired today. I just got back from Vegas early yesterday day evening and I gotta say, it was a fun bachelor weekend. Not too much to go into detail about (muah ha ha ha) but here are some highlights:
-It amazes me how much one can drink in Vegas. And it's not because we're drinking watered down drinks or anything...becuase we were drinking the stuff we brought...Crown and Patron....BLECH! I couldn't believe I was drinking those drinks either, but I had at least 6 or 7 shots the first night, plus other drinks and maybe up to 10-12 the second night. And no hangovers! Crazy I tell ya...talagang crazy... It must be an environmental/mental thing...the mind is one truly amazing thing.
-When playing games at the tables, it's a good idea to listen to whatever people next to you might say, regardless of how much you think they might be bs-ing. Some lady at my poker table kept boasting about her bf that was playing in the Bellagio tourney and all this and that...and I just smiled and nodded, and participated in the occasional chit chat. I ended up backing her up w/ another guy in our bachelor party when some drama arose at our table(basically someone acted out of turn before her), and in return, when it was time to go to dinner, she handed me and the other guy full comps for dinner anywhere in Bellagio! We both ended up ordering about $125 worth of food at Cafe Bellagio (I had lamb chops, appetizers, dessert, soup, coffee, and drinks) and only had to pay for the tip, which we paid genrously due to our gratitude of not having to pay our total, he he he. Man, life for those dudes that get comped everything must be nice. Granted, they might contribute like 100 times more than what they get back, but it's always nice to feel pampered once in a while.
-The Bellagio hotel has automatic drapes that you open and close from buttons on the wall or near your bed. Talk about lazy...it was awesome.
-Only in Vegas, can you be swimming and laying out in the pool when it's about 80 degrees when a cloud comes and covers up the sun...and it starts raining.
-Cab/Limo companies usually get a kick-back($20/head on most occasions) for taking you to a strip club. Ask if they'll take you for free or at least cheap, negotiate...you never know. Better yet, drive...cover is usually only gonna be $10 instead...that saves you $10 extra for whatever your lil heart desires.
-Play video poker at the bar and you drink for free...think about it. It's a comp for gambling, as if you were at the tables. Just make sure to tip!
-If you're gonna drive home from vegas, leave before 11. Better yet, don't drive, just fly. Trust me.
I'm going back to Vegas again this weekend for another bachelor party. I was just saying how I hadn't gone for a while(since November). Now two trips in as many weeks...be careful what you wish for out there.
"What goes up, must come down"
-Dude, I wish this saying was true for most things...especially gas.
