Vegas Baby

I hope everyone had a wonderful week/weekend tis Monday again.  Thankfully this is a short week as I will be leaving Thursday night for home, YAY for Christmas Vacation. This last week was busy, but uneventful. I don't remember much of what I did, just running around on last minute errands.  I did have to get a meningitis shot since I will be taking a business finance class at U of H this spring.  I miss school and I am eager to get my MBA started.  I would like to have that completed before I am 30, which is totally doable.  Until then I will be taking a few courses to get a better understanding of Accounting and Finance. 

This weekend was quite an epic one with my girls trip to Vegas! A good college friend of mine is getting married so we decided to have her bachlorette party in Vegas. Friday after work I sprinted to the airport and headed to Vegas. Once I got there I checked in and decorated the room.  Since the girls didn't get there until later I decided to try my hand at some gambling.  Now I am not a gambler because I feel like there are so many other things I can do than give my money to a casino..heck I haven't even bought a lotto ticket.  I prefer poker or black jack because you're not playing against a machine, but since I have never played I decided to hit the roulette table.  Being that I am not a gambler I don't make outrageous bets, so after about an hour I was up 70.00 dollars and decided to walk away.  It was fun, but I get too bored sitting there so its not really my cup of tea.

Soon after I finished the girls arrived and it was time to get the party started.  We all were pretty hungry so we headed to Kahunaville the bar/restaurant in our hotel.  After dinner it was time for some dancing, we decided to walk across the street to Tao, an night club in the Venetian hotel.  Now normally there is a long line and a 30-50 dollar cover charge to get into these night clubs.  Some how since we were a group of girls we were ushered to the VIP area so no cover charge, no waiting in lines, and free drinks.  We had a blast dancing the night away.  Around 2:30 we decided to head back to the hotel and crash out for the night and the better part of the next day!

The girls!

Around noon we got up, grabed some lunch and head out to check out the strip.  We walked around and looked at all the sights and sounds.  For dinner that night we headed to Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffets restaurant.  Its a pretty ornate restaurant with a working volcano in the middle, lots of boats as seating area and tons of other entertainment going on.  After dinner we walked over to the Bank nightclub in the Belligao.  It was another fun evening of dancing and meeting new people.  We met a fun group of Canadians and Australians!  Now I want to go visit Australia...I see a trip next year, better save my pennies.  That evening we got home around 3:30 a.m.  Needless to say we were all exhausted, unfortunately a bunch of the girls had to leave early so most of us were up at 7:00 a.m.  My flight wasn't until 4:00 so I rested until lunch, had some Pho, did a little shopping and then headed to the airport.  I got home around 9:30 and was ready for bed.  Pretty soon I will be back on a plane to El Paso!
