Originally, I was supposed to publish this entry after the last post, but couldn’t immediately. I ended up moving my blog to a different server and it took about two days to get everything handled. My friend was very helpful with the whole process and happened to move everything for me in a few minutes. I was especially amazed by his speed.
Anyway, my first time in Las Vegas at a legal age was absolutely awesome. When we arrived we checked into our hotel at Treasure Island, we sat around in the room for a bit and settled in. Then we immediately set out for the casino floor. With so many places to choose from to blow my money, I sat at a blackjack table and immediately was asked if I wanted a drink. This began my first time being carded in Vegas, which everyone laughed about. I stuck to the blackjack and roulette tables, but wandered around some slots as well. Thankfully, I was very lucky in the gambling department. Not losing, but hitting the jackpot numerous times. Eventually we ended up wandering around Vegas and went to the Hard Rock Hotel as I had mentioned in the previous post. Hard Rock after 8 PM has a dress code, because that is basically when all the partying starts. I guess it was a good thing that I was dressed to go the club later, so I didn’t feel left out in my black dress and high heels. Almost everyone there was in their twenties and met up at the center bar which is so amazingly packed that it is hard to make your way up for a drink. Among the hot Go-Go dancers entertaining the blackjack tables, the Rock Star Lounge, the Poker rooms, and the loud music playing while you gamble, it is pretty much a non-stop party. The next day we wandered around Treasure Island (referred to as TI now) for the whole day while we ate tons of food, had a lot of drinks, gambled, and enjoyed the rest of our time before we headed on over to the Venetian and Mirage later that evening.
As a kid I remember coming to Vegas and having nothing to do, but sit by the pool or in the hotel. I always thought Vegas was a boring place and I could never understand why adults spent their time there. Obviously, when you’re of age, you realize there is so much to do it is ridiculous and time goes by very fast when you’re having fun. Las Vegas is obviously the city that never sleeps with it basically being an open bar and giving you tons of offers to spend your money in more places. And no, I still have not lost my “beerginity”, even though there are plenty of you who are plotting different ways to successfully get me to have my first beer. (Seriously, there are bets going on about this.) Of course, I’m definitely coming back to Vegas, so who is up for the next trip with me?
