Gushing about Vegas!
So now I shall write a happy bouncey overly excited (and probably annoying) Las Vegas entry!
Wheee!!!!
I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s coming up so fast!!!!
It HAS felt like forever, so I can’t even say time is flying, because it’s moving just as slow as Dexter the Snail!
Baboo and I are definitely going shopping today. We are going to end up at the mall (and I utterly DESPISE the freakin mall of cesspool dooooooooom!!!!) and I hope we find something cute.
For him, I want a nice sorta sporty casual but also somewhat refined look with a nice button up shirt in either a dark or light blue. I’m thinking of a sorta dusty blue because that is the color I want. he will probably wear brown pants and his new brown shoes.
I am going to get a shirt in a similar color. I also want something either tailored with buttons or in the "peasant blouse" look because it hides evil muffin tops! I want to find some nice khaki jeans or something to go with. I also need to find a nice black shirt to wear on my birthday. Black should go nicely with the burnt orange shirt he wants to wear.
I wonder if it’ll be hot there…
I also need new shoes… probably some wedge sandals or something, but I probably won’t get them today. I need something that will be comfortable to walk around a lot in, but still cute and not as casual as tennis shoes. I wish I could wear my heels, but I’d have those things off in two seconds and I walk like a chicken with a stick in its butt!
I will also be buying a small purse with a long strap (so I can put in the cross over the shoulder position that stops it from getting snatched or falling off easily). I want something cute and probably black. Just big enough for the essentials while I’m walking around.
I was looking up the gambling on the Lasvegas.com site and it has some "how to’s" that I want to read. I want to learn how to play this mai (pai?) gow (pan chow whatever the hell) poker. It’s supposed to be fun and not suck all your money out. ha ha! We’ll see. I’ll probably just play a few games on a machine and get discouraged and cry and go do something else.
I sorta want to float around the floor and look. but I get nervous. Is it weird to just look and not bet? One of the tips is to watch whatever game you want to play for a while and to not get upset when the Pit Bosses bug you cuz they get paid to think your cheating… or something.
hahahhaha.
I’ll cry if they bother me! I’ll just cry!!!!
It’s gonna be so fun for me… the only thing I’m a little scared of is all the people.
I will be with Baboo and I’ll be liquored up most of the time and maybe MAYBE it won’t bother me…
but still.
I am not sure what to expect and how I’ll handle it.
I’m the least scared of the flight there than I am of actually walking into a casino and having to know what I’m doing. Thank God Baboo has been there and knows how to navigate,c uz I’d be a big deer in the headlights, flashing target on my forehead mess!!!!
the closest I’ve really been to a casino are the small ones they have in Laughlin and we’d pass them on the way to the buffet and our hotel room when my family would go there every summer.
I sorta wish I was skinnier already so I could get a cute swimsuit and play in a pool!
But I’m still a butterball and I shall NOT be putting on any swimsuits!
Plus, I have to fit like a decades worth of SEEING THE STUFFS!!!! into 3 days and 2 nights, so we’ll be busy!
My itenerary is looking jam packed and we’ll probably only do half of it. but I’m prioritizing things to what I simply HAVE TO SEE and do and then other things that would be "nice" if we get around to it.
It’s pretty cool that we won’t have to check out of the hotel until late so we’ll probably have lots of fun on Sunday too!!! I don’t want to go there worrying to death about money, but I will be trying to budget things out so we don’t run out of funds before sunday and end up not being able to do anything… ha ha.
GAH! SO EXCITED!!!!!
I hope Baboo dances with me.
hahahahahha.
I should go work now.
blah.
I have to pee.
I’m jealous. I should have saved some money and met you down in Vegas!!

Which hotel are you staying in? We stayed at the Luxor and I was SOOOO confused, lol. The front desk was easy to find but after that I got so lost. I got us lost trying to walk over to the New York, New York, too! It’s not weird to watch people gamble. My BIL was at a roulette table and we stood there watching him for a while. Random people would walk by, stop and then walk off. I did get griped at by the dealer b/c I was texting my daughter while standing at the table and he said that’s a big no, no. I had no idea! There are people, everywhere, all the time so no one is really paying any attention to you. I have heard something about joining the vip players club for free drinks or games or something like that? You should try to find something like that. I know the Luxor had a booth in their casino for info. It’s free!!

Well, in order for me to answer your question you will have to define to me what intelligence means to you. Once you define it I will answer it. Anyways of course I leave notes to get attention. You have to know how to sell yourself. I got you come to my diary didn’t I.

Take lots of pictures!!

The casinos are idiot proof. There are huge signs everywhere pointing you to where you want to go. I’d highly suggest getting monorail tickets though so you can move between the bigger places easier.

You have nothing to worry about. I have a friend that lives in Vegas. I went to visit him last year for the first time and I was on 20 then. So walking around and ‘looking’ is pretty much ALL I could do. It was fun though ! The place is beautiful. Make sure you see the water show at eh bellagio. It will be hot if its not raining. Its the desert after all. there is also an awesome……

….lake in the mountains to go to. I went there and we were on jetskis and got to see the other side of the Hoover Dam. Its really gorgeous. If you fly to vegas you can see that the city really does sit in a little bowl surrounded my mountains. and the city lights from the plane at night are amazing!

It gets cold at night! And I walked around in flats that have a small heel to them, and my feet killed me at the end of the night. I was so glad I brought another pair of shoes. I saw a LOT of girls walking barefoot, whilst holding heels in their hands. I don’t recommend that. And there are tons of people that just watch other people at the tables. Apparently it’s good luck for a woman to be near them. *shrugs* I dunno, I only played the slots. My brother and his friend played Craps nearly every night though. The people who run the tables yell at you if you do something wrong… well they did to my brother’s friend. lol. & Free alchol when you gamble!! Plus it’s amazing how much you plan on doing, and realizing that you don’t have time to do it. I’d be sure to prioritize. Oh and if you like cheesy, skanky girls and guys dancing, then you should check out the ‘Sirens’ show at Treasure Island. It’s hilarious, if nothing else. I’m going to post my pictures tomorrow, so it’ll be more of a tease for your anticipation!

It’s amazing how much I remember, now that I’m no longer in a foggy state of mind. I think when you get back you’ll be like that for a couple weeks.
