Las Vegas Winter Trip

Just wanted to post a few pictures from our trip to Las Vegas. Doris had been planning the entire trip for the last two months. We left of Thursday morning, thought that we actually would be stuck in a lot of traffic but luckily, managed tole to get there in about 6 hours. In Vegas, some people got lucky and others lost unfortunately. I guess that's life. I ended up losing a total of 30 dollars on the slots and video blackjack. I wanted to play roulette and real blackjack but didn't want to risk it. Maybe next time. I'll be going back on January 7-9th if all goes well (i.e. I'm not entirely broke by the end of the holidays). We went clubbing twice, Thursday at the Blush at the Wynn and then on Friday at the Jet at the Mirage. Blush was more like a lounge/bar with a small and narrow dance floor. At first, a few of my friends wanted to leave because the club looked so small, not suitable for dancing. At about 12am, things finally kicked in, more people came, good music began to play, and the alcohol flowed within our veins. Blush suddenly became one of my favorite spots during our Vegas trip.
Then Friday rolled around. I met up with Phuong and Lee and went to Treasure Island with them. We gambled some, and then went to lunch at the Venetian. Afterwards, we strolled over to Planet Hollywood for a few hours. After that we split up and I met up with my friends over at the Bellagio and went shopping with them for a bit. After the day ended came another night of dancing and drinking. We went to the Jet which sounded promising since the billboard outside the hotel read "3 rooms, 3 sounds." Apparently, Friday wasn't hot enough for them to open up the other two rooms so I spent the first 4 hours being squished as people tried to go back and forth along the dance floor. I was super pissed off when this girl spilt her vodka all over my head and body. That was a total buzz killer. I stopped drinking after that and had just a mediocre night. I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to that club.
Saturday, we all woke up and checked out of our rooms. We ended by going to this Italian restaurant before we left. Over all, I must say that this trip was the best Vegas trip I've had so far in my life. I've never really done fun stuff in Vegas. It's usually just with the family, walking along the strip or staying in the rooms as they go gambling. I'm looking forward to returning, but only if I have enough money to spend for the second trip. Happy Holidays everyone!
