Las Vegas, Nevada

In Sacramento I met some of Natalie's friends and just relaxed getting ready for a big weekend in Vegas!  We arrived in Vegas at around midnight on Thursday night and met Chrissy and her friends, Caz and Coralie, in the hotel room and got ready to go out as soon as we arrived. We headed to 1Oak the club in the Mirage where we were staying. We met a couple of guys from Milwaukee and ended up hanging out with them over the weekend. When we finally got up on Friday we hung out at the pool at the hotel. Pina coladas by the pool and awesome weather....so so nice! On Friday night we went to Cirque du Soleil which was amazing. The lights and special effects are awesome :)  After the show we bought 48oz margaritas to drink on the way back to the hotel and then headed out to Tao which is a club in the Venetian. It was pretty packed so we didn't stay for too long but on the way back to our room we bumped into the guys that we met the first night and they were going to explore the Vegas strip. Natalie and I went with them while the others girls went out. We explored some of the casinos and with the help of one of the guys I played a bit of Black Jack. I played a couple of hands and as soon as I was up I collected my money......a whole $62 wooo :)

We bought tickets for a Tiesto pool party at the Encore hotel on Saturday day so we lazed around and had a bit of a nap before heading to the party at around 3pm. The pool party was awesome! Everyone hanging out in the pool drinking and dancing all day. On Saturday night we went to see the volcano outside the Mirage and the Bellagio water show and we were going to go out but Natalie and I ended up falling asleep reasonably early. Too much partying during the day haha.

On Sunday we had to change hotels to stay at the Flamingo for the last night. Once we checked in Natalie and I did a bit of shopping and then spent the rest of the afternoon laying by the pool at the hotel. I had an early dinner with Natalie and then she had to fly back to Sacramento. Once Natalie left I got a taxi with the other girls to the Las Vegas sign to get our typical tourist photo and then headed out to The Bank, the nightclub at the Bellagio. We danced for several hours until my feet were aching and then headed back to the hotel to get a couple hours of sleep before flying to Mexico. Unfortunately the casualty of the night was my phone. My phone wouldn't work in Mexico and South America anyway but the most frustrating thing is not having an alarm and music.
