Vegas Baby (5: The final day with Blackjack yay!)

Ok! So I need to tidy up the end of my Vegas entries!

I forget where I left off.

Uhhhh *goes to check*

OH yeah!!!!

We ran back (me with no shoes on) to our room and ended the night sloppy drunk sex0ring and then passing out.

We got up a bit late on Sunday but we were both hungry. We sludged down to the cafe we had eaten at the first day and got some breakfast. I got pancakes and sausage and he got a huge omelette. Neither of us was able to really eat it all and we ended up slodging back up the room to sleep some more after stopping at a gift store inside of the hotel to get something for Jonathon (I ended up only finding a little wolf beanie baby for jacob… it’s what he wanted… hell if I know why!).

My body was a tingling half drunk mess. I felt disoriented and it hurt to walk.

I had drank a LOT the night before. I know I had the 2 mojitos and the madori sour, but I also had a few cranberry and vodkas on top of that. So I was pretty wasted. Baboo said my tingling extremities was a sign of alcohol poisoning and there wasn’t much I could do about it.

My body tingled for the entire day!

We slept for about 3 hours (after saying we’d only sleep for 30 minutes). We needed to head back out and find gifts, cash in a few tickets from the Venetian and I wanted to play some Blackjack and be cool doing the hand motions! (tap tap, swish swish)

Well 2 rolled around and we were showing no signs of moving. We had to try and get packed up by around 4;30 and I wanted to check out no later than 5:30 because of the shuttle picking us up around 6. I told Baboo I’d go by myself, but he eventually got up. I made an agreement to pack the bags alone and rush through my shopping if he’d go with me. We still ended up packing together though. ha ha!

So we got up to go and zombied our asses over to the monorail. We went to the Venetian first, and for some reason we seemed to perk up a bit. We cashed out my ticket and as we walked through the casino we passed a blackjack table with a $10 min, so we decided to sit down. Once again we had a nice little asian lady dealer. I really liked her.

so we started to play and I instantly felt cool! COOL I TELL YOU!!! I had my cute nails on and I felt all glamorous and like I was doing something grown up and snazzy…

But…. I lost like crazy.

There were two other guys at the table and it was pretty fun because they were making crazy comments about the dealer busting and giving me tips on what to do.

However, I lost all my money ($40) and went to a machine and got $140 more out. I only put 40 down to start and immediately lost all of that! (I kept busting or staying too low)… so I was pretty sad and pouting like crazy. Baboo on the other hand was doing pretty good and when I mumbled "well I’m just DONE losing!!!" he passed me $10 in chips to keep me alive.

so I put them down and WON!  (In the midst of this we got drinks, but I was sticking to non alcoholic coke since my body was obviously freaking out with the alcohol content) My luck changed after that.

So yes… BABOO SAVED THE DAY!!! ha ha. I began to win and I started to put down $15 chip bets. I got a blackjack and that gave me even more.

The dealer kept losing, so that was a big help too! I began to see the pattern of play and I got smarter with what I did. I also did something a little superstitious… and started to be sure the chips were turned to a certain side when I set them down. it seemed when I put chips down that said "Venetian" I won and when I put the ones that said "Palazzo" I lost…

I know it was weird, but it worked!!!

Gosh, it was a lot of fun!

the pit boss guy was hovering the entire time. It was sorta funny. He made comments about how she was shuffling and stuff. ha ha! Anyway, when the dealers switched out, Baboo and I decided to take our money and run. I actually turned my lucky $10 in chips into $95!!!! Yeah! So I actually made 15 bucks on the table! Not bad yo!

The new dealer counted my chips out and gave me fancy green $25 dollar chips! I was excited! (I have pics!)

So we cashed out and walked back to Harrah’s and passed this one casino with a huge sale going on. I hadn’t gotten Jonathon anything and I knew he’d like a hat so we went in and I got him a hat for $5 (Baboo got one too!). As we passed back through Harrahs we stopped at a penny poker machine and played for a bit. I actually doubled my 3 bucks that I put in, but then lost it all and ended up spending about 7 bucks in the machine for nothing. Ha ha! We got a drink there too, but once again, I stayed away from the alcohol (baboo did not however, ha ha).

After that we went back to the hotel. I stopped in another gift shop to get myself a keychain I wanted and baboo got a shot glass with his name on it. We went back out into the casino at our hotel and tried to find the cheap $5 blackjack we had seen the night before. The table was full and we ended up at a table with "single deck blackjack" with a $10 min…

BAD BAD IDEA!!!

It had different weird rules… like you could only have one hand on the table at all times. The cards were face down (rather than face up like the other game)… you tapped the cards on the table to hit and put them under your chips to stay. I got in trouble for bending the cards or something. Baboo got in trouble for having his hands on the table.

We both lost HORRIBLY and after i was out @20 bucks I took my remaining $20 and ran!

We did get a drink out of the deal. Once again, I stuck with cola.

We went back up to the room feeling like we got shafted… I wish we had just stayed away! Baboo lost $40 and I lost $20… boo!

We packed our stuff up because it was almost 5:00 at this time. I think I may have left my brush somewhere in the room, but I don’t know how! Oh well.

Then we went down to check out, which was super easy. We got to keep our room keys!

We sat in the foyer for about 20 minutes before we decided to go have a final drink at the hotel bar.

I finally decided to have a little alcohol so I had a madori sour and baboo had like his 4th drink of jack and coke for the day. ha ha.

We had our drink and went out front to wait for the shuttle.

The shuttle took the most crazy route back to the airport, but we made it in plenty of time. There was hardly any lines for anything. I checked our bag (stupid $15 again!) and we went through security. We stopped at a little Chili’s to eat. I wish I had gotten a salad like Baboo did because the chicken crispers tasted like chicken greaseballs. UGH! I had a strawberry margarita that was pretty delicious. We sat at the bar and watched the basketball game for a bit, but they closed at 8 and we had to leave.

We went to a different bar near our gate and had another drink there.

When we went down to our gate to board we found out they had changed our gates! So we had run all the way back to where we had come from originally and the flight was already boarding! boo! We found our seats well enough and settled in.

I was a little sad to go… but that’s normal right?

I took a few pics of the Vegas skyline from the plane. We were taxiing and I forgot to turn off the flash! oops! I was sure someone was gonna come get me and throw me off the plane or glare at me… but nothing happened. ha ha.

The flight back seemed like it was only 15 minutes long.

We got back over LA and it was just crazy how big it is!

The landing was pretty scary. We touched down sorta hard and it seemed like we were moving way to fast to stop in time. I guess its an easier landing in Vegas!

Anyway, the rest of the night was uneventful. got off the plane, got our bags, got on the bus, got home…

oh wait, my airhead returned and I couldn’t figure out where we parked the car.

I thought we were on the 4th level… nope…

so we went down to the 3rd level… nope…

uhhh, second level? really? YES!!

So lame!!!!

We got home and Baboo wanted more beer so he was drinking beer and I felt way drunker than I should and passed out.

And that brings me back up to speed. We slept till about 12:30 in the afternoon and it had my body clock all sorts of wacked out.

argh!

So that was my trip! I really wish I could have put the pics up as I wrote about it, but I guess I’ll just have a bunch of pic entries later!

A few things about Vegas I want to write:

*Baboo was a perfect gentleman. He opened doors for me the ENTIRE TIME! Not once did he allow me to open a door for myself. Even when I tried. It was so cute. He held my hand and was always there when I stumbled around. We didn’t get into any trouble and I knew it was partially because he wanted to be able to take care of me. I felt like a lady princess queen! He was attentive and sweet, even if he does want to seem mean and crude, he really is a total smoosh and I love that I had that trip with him!!!

*Vegas is a lot cleaner than I thought. I thought there would be more trash and graffiti and stuff… but it was pretty damn clean. If you take out the boobs and vagina cards all over the ground, they keep that place almost immaculate. Very nice indeed.

*Gambling is fun! I could see myself just having a ball playing more blackjack and learning more about poker so I could play that too! I actually left Vegas with $250 bucks of the spending money left! I used some of it yesterday,but I still have $200 more than I thought I would! I’m tempted to get a lifetime OD membership… but I should probably just chill on that for now. Save up my survey money like I told myself I would. I just have to save up $50 more!

*I definitely understand more of what I want from another trip there. Less on food, more on gambling and drinks. I would LOVE to stay at MGM or Mandalay Bay. I think having a nice room is important to just get the whole experience down.

*I was oddly only uncomfortable for a short period in the beginning. The large groups of people and the madness really didn’t make me want to hide and I was so happy I didn’t feel scared! Yay!!!!

So I guess that’s the end of my Vegas entries. I will still be writing an entry about some of the more serious conversations Baboo and I had… as well as writing a little racy sexy sex talk entry. We had some pretty good sessions… 4 total (I forgot to mention Sunday morning… alcohol poisoning does not keep us apart it would seem! ha ha)… RAWR!!!

 

Anyway, gotta get back to work. I’ve done a few things, but there is always more!
