The Obligatory Countdown to Vegas Post


Ah the Glitter Gulch, my favorite titty bar in all of Las Vegas. Just kidding.

So it should be an interesting trip this year since I'm only traveling with the Rents (parents). No other friends or family are going this trip. Essentially that means I'll be in lone wolf mode a lot, especially at night.

10 days to go!

Random Las Vegas(ness)

Well I'm back to reality today, i.e. work. The worst thing about taking a trip or vacation for me is usually having to come back and go to work.

Some highlights of the trip:

These cremecicle frozen concoctions from a place called The Bayou downtown were "the debil!" We shared two of them, paying a little more for additional alcohol. I got tore up Thursday night (of course some Fat Tire and Newcastle helped me along too). I was so drunk that I don't remember the journey from Four Queens to bed at The Golden Nugget. Thursday night was my only really drunk night in Vegas, man I must be getting old.

Dann and I found some showgirls/hookers but I was unwilling to pony up 40 dollars for an "around the world" so a picture had to do...

Stopped by an oxygen bar, something I would never waste money on sober. I didn't really figure out what the oxygen was supposed to do but the girl running the kiosk was really nice and the massage devise was actually pretty cool.

Awesome tampon exhibit at City Center! We had to take the "tram to nowhere" to find it.

What I thought should be a gay man's "toy" store actually turned out to be a book store. Whatever.

My brother, the master of terrible pictures! Sure he got the sign but the ants below it is me, Dann, and J. In his defense, my camera is a little old. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was actually pretty cool. Not only was the music better than most casinos but my sister-in-law and J. cleaned up playing Black Jack Switch.

Apparently Godzilla got so drunk downtown the night before she slipped out of her heel and left it behind!

Seeing J. again was one of the highlights of the trip! 17 days until the next adventure.

Okay, I'm done boring everyone with pictures. Favorite story time! J. and I went to the upstairs patio bar at the Golden Nugget called Gold Diggers on Friday night. Great environment with a second story out door patio overlooking Fremont Street. What was especially charming about our short time here was the extremely nice girl we met from Denver. She staggered up to the bar to order drinks and apparently felt it was necessary to flash her tits to get service. She got service pretty quick I must say! That's what I love about Vegas, how often do you see that kind of shit in Oklahoma City? Fuckin' Vegas!

Rumors

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated! I've been in Vegas since Thursday. I did take the laptop with me in hopes of writing a blog post or two but I ended up never even firing up the thing until the return trip this morning at the airport. There was too much gambling and drinking to be had.

I had a great trip, caught up with some family that I haven't seen in over a year, won enough money to play and eat as much as I wanted, and brought some money back home!

For now, I'm taking Sunday off for some much needed rest. Cheers!

8 More Days Until Vegas!

Eight days from now I'll be in a Black Jack, alcohol induced coma!!


It would be good odds to bet that I won't be hanging out at the Glitter Gulch. I've only been to two titty bars in my entire life, once being in New Orleans, I'm still emotionally scarred from that one...

Vegas Priceless

Flight and hotel to Vegas: $500ish
Gambling money for the trip: There's never enough
3500+ texts to J in the last month: Unlimited
Getting to finally see J's face again: Priceless

Yeah so I'm still really excited to go to Vegas! 18 days!

It's August!

First of all, why the hell am I up this early on a Sunday? Secondly, it's August!!

On tap this month:
  • Continue living the dream.
  • Dave Matthews with my favey Kimmy on the 14th.
  • Vegas for my dad's birthday on the 26th. I can't wait to see my bro, sister-in-law and J.

Total worthless post, right? I have to give a shout out to my readers, all two of you. Well maybe it's three now. I increased my page hits from June and I had my single biggest unique visitors day in July. Thanks for reading, whomever you all are...

30 Day to Vegas!


"Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher"


I promise this trip I won't do as many countdown posts as previous years. I'm just super pumped for a multitude of reasons to be heading to Nevada next month, one being my dad's 70th birthday.

The quest for Las Vegas!


Last Thursday Mom, Dad, Dann and myself embarked on what was supposed to be a two-hour flight to Las Vegas for four days and three nights of gambling and drinking with the occasional break for eating and sleeping. The picture above shows us hanging out at the Will Roger's World Airport lounge shortly before out flight... then it was delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed again before finally being canceled! My vote of rescheduling the trip to spring was quickly killed as the majority decided it would be better to rent a car, drive to Dallas, stay in a hotel, get up at 2:30AM to catch an early morning flight to Vegas from Love Field with a layover in San Antonio. Oh joy! We did finally make it to Vegas with only one near death experience driving down I-35 on our way to Dallas.

Big balls in cowtown!

Comming soon: more shots of the strip and downtown as well as a shrine for Timmy. Oh and let's not forget the wonderful trip back to Oklahoma City!

What happens in Vegas stays on your police record!

By this time tomorrow I'm going to predict that Dann will be intoxicated... we'll see!

The mood turns ugly on the return trip home!
