so a group of my closest girlfriends and i decided to celebrate my birthday a little early this year and took a mini 3 day weekend vaca to vegas! it was SOOOO much fun! it was only my second time going to vegas and my very first all-girls trip. it's crazy how different an experience vegas can be depending on the people you go with. this time, i spent half the time there in the pool (it was 120 degrees), went out dancing, and didnt' gamble once. i had the time of my life, still. we started off the weekend on the wrong foot, don't ask me how i did it, but i missed the 15 interchange on the way there and we totally got lost, which took an hour for us to get back on track. despite that, the ride there was still smooth sailing, no traffic and we had a great time. it only took us 4 hrs to get there! when we got there, it was 120 degrees! we got an early check in, the double queen beds we wanted and a HUGE bathtub (that we all squeezed into later!) the first thing on my agenda was to get a yard and head straight for the pool. but we stayed @ the tropicana and i wanted to get my yard @ fat tuesdays in MGM, so i settled for a few pina coladas and cadillac margaritas instead. the pool was AMAZING. we just hung out, floated around, talked & drank. needless to say, 2 hrs later i was wasted off my ass. kind of embarassing, but so much fun. then we went upstairs, got cleaned up and headed off to my birthday dinner @ dick's last resort. this restaurant is seriously great, but is definitely only for those with thick skin. me & rox have been wanting to go there SO bad and i'm so glad we waited till now to go. the waiter was a total crack up and ended up making me and lauren these hats:
Lauren's says "my vagina is so beat up it looks like rhianna" and mine says "easier to get into than community college and just as cheap." Like i said, you need thick skin to appreciate this restaurant. The bartender gave lap dances to all the birthday boys & girls, so i threatened all my friend's lives if they told him we were celebrating my birthday. So i was lap-dance free. :) Then we walked the strip and ended up @ Bellagio and watched the water show, which is definitely going to have to be a tradition of mine every time I'm in Vegas. I love it! After that we headed over to New York, New York and ended up hitting up club Rok, where I slutted it up and danced on a stage for the very first time. LoL! It was SO much fun. We got home around 3 am, called it a night and slept in till about 11am the next day! It felt SO good to sleep in!! Day 2 consisted of LOTS more pool time, a yard or 2, dinner @ a nice italian restaurant in New York, New York then more bar dancing @ coyote ugly. We danced the whole night away, went back to our hotel (Tropicana) and hung out for awhile and left the next morning. I seriously had such a great time and am already trying to plan the next girls Vegas trip. It seriously needs to happen at least a couple times a year!! Here's some more pictures (for you, Haley!):
Lo, Me, Kt, & Rox after the drinks @ the pool day 1.
