So...Viva Las Vegas!

My life's pretty...ho-hum these days. So when one of my best friends asked if I was in for a (double) birthday Vegas trip, I immediately said yes. I hadn't been there since BiSC back in May, so I was ready.

One of the birthday girls (there were 2) scored us double rooms at The Venetian. Can I just say...wow?! We had no idea they'd be so gorgeous. All 6 of us had our own beds. Glorious.

[Ta da!]

After arriving on Friday, we got dressed and headed down to Otto Enoteca Pizzeria for a birthday dinner. Under the blue sky (inside!), we had an amazing meal chock full of cheese, wine, veggies and pasta.


Super full and ready to party, we headed to Rain at The Palms. Most of the girls weren't fans, so we walked a few feet over to Moon. We immediately fell in love with this club, although I didn't realize the reason for the name of the place (there's no ceiling, so you can see the moon if you look up) until we got back to the room. Whoops.

It was around 5 in the morning when Cambria (birthday girl #1, second from left in the photo below) pounded on our door to tell us she had won $700 playing Wheel of Fortune. Seriously. (It was a very happy birthday.)

We woke up the next morning afternoon not wanting to do much of anything except try and score tickets to Zumanity (which we did). I bought some really cute boots (when you're out every night dancing, sometimes you have to choose comfort over fashion, yanno?), we got a quick bite and before we knew it, it was time to get ready for our busy evening.

Have any of you seen Zumanity? If not, one word: sex. So much sex, so much naked, so much fun. Some of the performers came out to mess around with the audience pre-show, so we had to get in on that. I mean, hello ABDOMINALS.

The show was hilarious, hot and so, so beautiful. We were mucho pleased. Afterward, we went to Lavo for a (free) late night happy hour. Then it was on to Tryst at Wynn. I had a lot of fun and therefore, didn't take a lot of photos. Apologies.

The weather during the day wasn't very pool-friendly, so we got up the next morning, ate a huge room service breakfast and went to the hotel's spa, where we bought cheap day passes and had access to all the fun rooms. So nice.

After that, we got ready for XS at The Encore. Such a gorgeous club! (Personally, I couldn't get over that we were out clubbing on a Sunday night.)


Before we knew it, Monday rolled around and it was time to bid farewell to our beautiful Venetian suites. But that was okay, because I got to meet up with my lovely Kathleen at Hash House a go go. We don't see each other, well, ever. So it was beyond nice to see her, catch up and laugh our asses off per usual. (And to nobody's surprise, my friends fell in love with her.)

There were s'mores mochas, skillets the size of our faces and hash. So. Much. Hash. (No, not that kind of hash.)


Oh. Also? Big Balls.


We hit the road right after brunch, and 4 hours later, were back to reality. Ah, Vegas. I miss you so...
