-Took a stalker pic of Stryker and then met him. He has really soft hands and fun, down to earth personality. Probably my first favorite radio DJ =)
-McCarren airport in Vegas has this subway to and from the gates, its awesome! I think more people in LA would use the subway system if it was like that.
-JetBlue is a really nice airlines! Everyone (even the TSA) folks were friendly and talked to you like people, not like just baggage. The free unlimited snacks and directTV was a nice addition as well. But i would suggest that they give the option of "captioning" during flights for those of us who either 1) are deaf so buying the $2 headphones would be pointless or 2) don't want to wear headphones but still want to enjoy the free tv mhm
-Thursday night when we finally got to the hotel, we changed clothes, and headed to the new Cosmopolitan hotel or Cosmo for short. Yeah, the taxi dropped us off on the opposite in if the new City Center so that walk was not fun but we made it. And then we got completely lost in the Cosmo because it's lack of proper signage in ALL DIRECTIONS! The decor is insane...giant statues of dogs and giant shoes you can take pictures in, random sparkly or victorian chandeliers and don't even get me started on the long ass corridors!!!! It took us probably almost a mile to get to the damn buffet that there were no real signs for. Even the concierge dude confused us =P But we made it to the Wicked Spoon. The food was really good and high end. The desserts were fantastic too! The dinner is $35 but worth it if you pace yourself =)
-Later Thursday night we caught up with the lovely and badass Dez who informed us we could not sleep/nap in Vegas lol So we met up for drinks at Aurora after having interesting conversation about jerks, booze and good times hehe Chilled at a lounge and had a lot of fun people watching. Guys are hilarious in Vegas, that's all i'm going to say about that! Oh yeah, we saw some hookers, wannabe pimps and even a transgender. Which reminds me, gotta hit up a gay bar next trip. We had some marvelous Blueberry Martinis there too. I would have done a Jeggermeister with Dez but i didn't want to spend anymore money haha We finally went to bed about 4am.
-We dragged ourselves out of bed and down to Nathans Friday afternoon. Then we stopped by T&T for happy hour and had a really good Sangria! After that we changed into our pool hotness and headed to the KROQ pool party. It was hot hot hot! Thank goodness for cloud cover though! We only had to be in the actual sun for about 20mins out of 3 hours. The humidity was crazy! Sunscreen melted after only 10mins so that was fun. There was a slight breeze here and there. The drinks were awesome too! The best part about the pool? The free entertainment! Stryker and DJ Jeremiah Red spun good musid and gave away some free random prizes. Then we had the"White Boy Soul Train" show! Several white boys were drunk and dancing their happy little asses off. They were rocking it so hard they had to put their drinks down to enjoy the beats lol One guy did a head stand, he was the best! We loved it! Some old guys scared us with their old man bodies in speedos *eeeewwwwwww*. A few cute guys were around but nothing really drool worthy. A few guys tried to get our attention and we just shuttered at the thought *bleh* Because of the cloud cover we stayed for Stryker's whole show and a bit afterwards. The pool was nice. I didn't get all the way in but Serena and Dez enjoyed themselves immensley. Finally we packed up when they announced the pool was closing in 30mins. Plus the thunder we heard in the distance meant some rain was coming soon.
-Serena and i were hungry so we jetted over to Mandalay and enjoyed a great Irish Pub restaurant RiRa! The atmosphere was amazing! The food was drippingly (literally) delicious! Serena and i are big foodies so this was a real treat for us! If you are in town, check it out, you won't be disappointed!
-We agreed to meet up at Cathouse in a few hours after showering and napping. Serena and i made it but Dez did not because she wasn't feeling well *aaawwww*. Cathouse is a boring club. The layout is weird and it's dark as fuck in there! They use top shelf alcohol which is fine for good drinks but for well drinks, not so much. I didn't expect to be paying $11 for a simple vodka/cranberry. It was extremely hard to see if anyone was attractive in this place. The constant flashing lights were annoying and the music was insanely loud for the small space. White girls dancing ontop of a center divider table was pretty funny for 5mins. None of them fell though *boooo* We saw Adrian from KROQ but not Stryker and really don't blame him for not being there...if he wasn't there...couldn't really see to be 100% sure lol There were only 3 hostesses in burlesque attire and that was disappointing. There were more security guards and waiters who dressed really nice and were pretty attractive...more so than the patrons. The place was mostly table service which was annoying as well. So after a few drinks, darkness and constantly annoying music we headed out. That was the first time we had been bored at a club, so sad.
-After Cathouse we headed to EyeCandy in Mandalay. Not one of our favorite places but since Rum Jungle got shut down *noooooooooooo* we figured might as well give it a shot since it was so close. At the entrance the doorman begged us to be "locals" and we couldn't figure out why. He then told us it was for "personal reasons" which led us to sort of want to know more but not really lol I felt bad for disappointing him, he was a nice guy. We did explain to him that our "local girl" was home sick so we couldn't help him out. We did a shot of Patron and attempted to dance on the small dance floor. It was full of 40+ crowd. They were bumping and grinding all night long! Serena and i were definitely not drunk enough for this experience...we really wished we were though. These white people knew all the newest him KIIS FM type songs being played. They shook their asses like they didn't have children, jobs or significant other's at home lol We even saw a few grandparents...yes, grandma and grandpa were shaking it too. We knew it was an older crowd once we realized the music was oddly low. I guess they didn't want the older crowd to leave due to hearing loss. It was annoyingly low. Which was weird since CatHouse was annoyingly loud. EyeCandy had a bigger space to let the music be louder but yeah.
-The one major incident of the night happened at EyeCandy. There was a Wolf Pack aka group of guys humping and drinking lots of girls all over the club. One of the guys kept booty bumping us by accident. He turned around and started to apologize about his big booty...his words not mine lol He was pretty cute though, so i chatted with him a bit about his big booty and he even turned around once to shake it and show it off to us. He said it was a "problem" and just couldn't help but laugh at him. It wasn't big at all. It was your typical white boy ass. His joking, bald head and pretty eyes had me distracted long enough from the rest of the Wolf Pack to even notice the 6ft1 black guy coming to swoop in and attack me! One minute i'm ready to get serious flirt on with big booty white boy and next thing i know this dude is dropping it like it's hot in front of me with his face nuzzled into my chest. His hands were running up and down my hips and on my ass. I was being violated and could barely believe it was actually happening! I thought he was just going to do that and be done but nope, i was wrong. He then grabbed my legs and hoisted me into the air, legs wrapped around his hips and humped me in the air!! He was thrusting really hard, i kept thinking "ok i know it's there! put me down!". I saw Serena behind him and she didn't know if i was enjoying it or needing her to punch him in the liver and i was too in shock to give her a proper hand signal so i just grabbed held on for dear life! I was yelling in his ear though "I'm good! ok i'm good!" but he just laughed and gave me a dirty smile and then lifted me above his head so he could put his face in my boobs once more! He slid me down, humped me one last time and then i was back on the ground. He walked away cheering to his guys and i was left distraught, violated and in complete shock. Serena made sure i was alright and all i could do was think "what would Tina Feya and Maya Rudolph do?" I don't know why i thought of them but i did and i thought, they would dance it out, so i told Serena "ok i need to just dance this off Serena, cause if i leave now i won't feel right." She agreed and we tried to dance it off. I truly believe we were both so in shock we just didn't know how to respond. I know if Michelle and/or Sonia were with us, that probably wouldn't have happened but i know the Wolf Pack would have been all over us still. They were making their rounds and attacking lots of girls...i was not the only victim lol The guy that violated me even did it to a much bigger girl and even though he couldn't get her as high off the ground as he did me, he got her off of it. I wanted to get back to talking to big booty white boy but he was enthralled by some blondie so yeah lol We danced a bit longer but go bored and decided to call it a night with EyeCandy.
-On the way back to threw our hotel, we dropped in on LAX, a supposidly hot night club. Yeah it was a big boring as well. The doormen were assholes taking 5 to 8 minutes to go over our IDs...i wish i was kidding about this! We were the only ones in line too. Finally got in, climbed up and down stairs and saw the long stretched out room and dance floor. Its another narrow layout as well. Lots of table service too. Nothing special, didn't see what all the hype was for. We didn't even buy drinks.
-The night was very random and kind of a let down outside of RiRa. We didn't finish our food there so it was waiting happily at our room for us! It was even good ice cold! We discussed how lame our night was. I was very upset about Rum Jungle being shut down. I even missed the crowded Pure. Next trip definitely NOT going to do those 3 clubs again! We crashed again about 4am.
-Saturday we packed up our things and headed to lunch before hitting the airport. Good food was had once again. If we know nothing about Vegas, we know where to eat =) Didn't get to see Dez before we left but got to talk to her and made plans to hang again as soon as possible!
All in all it was a really fun trip! Not just the fact that it was free, but the fact that we got to hit up Vegas in summer which is something we rarely ever do! I don't think i will be doing it again in the future though, its just too damn hot lol I LOVED seeing and hanging with Dez! She is such a fire cracker and doesn't hold her tongue for anyone which is exactly what i love about her! I can't wait to get back out there in December with ALL my girls and party it up for my 30th! Thanx again to KROQ and Stryker for making it a fun lil escape that i truly believe i earned! Someone up there likes me! And yes, i did gamble and won some money. I can honestly say (even though i hate the term) i was winning from beginning to end =)
Thanx to my girl Serena for coming with me! It was the least i could do for my bestest friend!!!
