What happens in Vegas...

So where have I been this weekend?? Oh nowhere major...just partying with Jamie Foxx and Lil' John at Tao night club...Tao where??? LAS VEGAS!! lol! I've actually been to Vegas before, but this time around was even better! My older sister is getting married in a few weeks, so we went down to Vegas with a few friends, 8 girls in total to party it up before the big day. We only had the weekend, so we had to pack in the fun!!

Day 1: Arrive in Vegas at 4:30 pm.
I didn't check in any luggage, so I wouldn't have to wait for it or risk it getting lost and have to wear the same dress for 3 days. My sister and friend did, so had to wait anyway lol. We hop on a shuttle bus from the airport to Treasure Island (TI) were we stayed. Shuttle bus driver was a nut case and kept yammering to himself the whole ride. He also decided to drop everyone off at their hotels first, and took the longest route possible. In 40+ degree Celsius weather, I was less than impressed. Not a good start. Well we didn't get to our hotel till about 6:30 pm, when in reality it should have taken 10-15 minutes! ugh! We quickly get ready and walk down the strip to Todai, an all you can eat seafood place. It was NOT a short walk and the sun was blazzzzzing hot! Food was so so. Day 1 was not looking very awesome. But it quickly got better. We picked up some giant margaritas on our walk back, which really helped with the heat. We ran into a random dude on the street who gave us passes for a night club called...guess...POETRY! I decided it was just meant to be. So later than night, we get dolled up and head to poetry. Turned out to be an ALL R&B and Hip hop place, with poetry on the walls! The place was packed with black people! Music was really good and we had a great great time.

Day 2: Vip n Vegas
We wake up semi-early to try to beat the sun, and maybe have a more comfortable walk down the strip...no such luck. But we braved it anyway, went shopping at a couple of malls, and did some general gallivanting. My sister Kemi had set up a package with VipnVegas, which turn out to be awesome! good look Kemi! So we get picked up at 10pm from our hotel in a big yellow hummer limo, music already bumpin! So after a few (hundred) pictures, we hop in and basically started the party right in the limo. We were back there just acting a fool, the limo driver eventually joined in and was dancing up front. funny funny. We do an hour tour of the strip and he drops us off at the Jet night club. We met up with a second guy with VipnVegas who got us into the club for free99 and no line up! The club was sooooo goood!!! 3 different rooms, all playing really good music! One room was particularly hype, so we stayed there a little while. My sister had a checklist of task to complete as bride to be, which involved dancing on tables, and things of that sort. She only managed 3 or 4, but she definitely had a blast. So after sweating up a storm at jet, we leave. 4 of us decide to head over to Tao night club since we had gotten some vip passes earlier in the day. We walk in and it's pretty dead downstairs, upstairs...just live! Then we hear this male voice say, " My first name is Jamie, my middle name is motherf**ing and my last name is Foxx, so you can call me Jamie motherf**ing foxx!!" AAHH! so he was there with Lil John! We stayed a while... danced, and then when I could barely walk any longer, we decided it was time to call it a night. I walked barefoot back to the hotel!

Day 3: Up at 9:00 am...didn't I just go to bed??
We head down to the pool and hung out for a while, it wasn't too hot yet, so it was still nice. Got a bit of a bathing suit tan, which I need to get rid of before the wedding! The rest of the morning, was packing and cleaning up. My flight out was at 2:00pm. Now lets talk about that...I need to dedicate a whole section to West Jet!


West Jet!
So..when I booked my return flight, I'm pretty sure there was only one connection in Vancouver BC, but nnooo... West jet decided that I wanted to go to Kelowna BC as well! Thanks for that..The flight was terrible! Sooo rocky! I usually love flying, always get a window seat. I had my eyes closed in prayer for most of this terrible terrible flight. I was not impressed! I finally arrive back home, only for them to decide that my luggage needs to be on the same carousel as 3 other flights!! I just wanted to go HOME! Anyway, I eventually made it home, and went straight to bed. Back at work at 8am this morning, I feel like I haven't slept in days...well I kinda haven't..

It was really really good times though! I'll be posting another new poem soonish.
