What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?

Not when you have this much fun!

Two weekends ago, I flew out to Vegas for my sister's Bachelorette Party. There were 9 girls total: 7 blondes, 2 brunettes. All good-looking, fun, and ready to party. Here are some of the highlights of the weekend which was "the most fun I've had in years!"

Thursday

• Sister and a friend meet a guy at the airport who promises to "hook us up" at Tao
• Most of the girls arrive at our hotel, Planet Hollywood between 5-8pm
  
• The 7 of us who arrived that day go to Tao where we not only get escorted in, but also get our own table, free bottle service of Grey Goose, a waitress to mix our drinks, and a security guard to watch our table (anyone who got too close was told to move and any unwanted guys were told to leave- it was AWESOME)
• We danced until about 2am, then it was late night pizza, then bed

Friday

• I wake up at 7:30am-despite going to bed late, I think I was on NY time... or just too excited about being in Vegas to sleep
• When I hear my sister in the next room, I join her and one of the other girls. The 3 of us go to the breakfast buffet at Paris. Given that I'm ready to party in Vegas, I order a Bloody Mary. When the waitress tells me it is only 99 cents, my sister and her friend order one too. I finished mine, then helped finish both of theirs. They were really good Bloody Marys. I was a little bit drunk by 10:30am.
• After taking a short nap while all of the other girls went to lunch, all of us headed to the pool. This was one of the reasons we went to Vegas in October to celebrate the Bachelorette Party for a wedding that is in January- the pool. It was perfect. I stayed at the pool working on my tan, enjoying cocktails, and flirting until my sister told me to get my ass in the shower.
• Next was the Lingerie Shower. Let's just say the groom-to-be is one lucky guy.
• We had dinner reservations at a restaurant at the Venitian. My sister was easily identifiable as the bachelorette- she was wearing a white cowboy hat with a veil. At the end of our dinner, a guy offered to buy our table a round of shots. My sister chose that moment to lead us all in a prayer (one of the items on her "Bachelorette Checklist"). It maybe slightly sacreligious, but it was pretty damn funny.
• Since we were at the Venetian, we stopped by Tao. Again we got right in, but we left not longer after since it was kinda lame. Instead we headed to Tryst. We were told to "ask for Bobby." At Tryst, we found Bobby who led our group of 9 girls to the front of the line and through the doors. Not only did we not wait in the line, but we also didn't pay the $20 cover for ladies.
• Tryst was lots of fun. I met a group of cute Canadian guys. We watched my sister do things from her Checklist. Etc, etc.
• We left Tryst to go to Pure (where our name was on the VIP list). Unfortunately, the Bachelorette lost her ID in the cab. No longer able to go to Pure, a guy who worked at Caesars got permission from the casino owner (so he says) to let us into Poetry even though my sister didn't have an ID. He even gave us free drink passes.
  
• The only thing we liked about Poetry were the free drinks. We walked in, found it to be lame, got our free drinks, then walked right back out with our free drinks in hand. We ended up going out a back door. There just happened to be a red Hummer sitting there. So we asked for a ride back to the front of Caesars. The driver said he was waiting for Carmen Electra, but he could take us if we hurried. So we rode in Carmen Electra's Hummer.
• The night concluded with late night food back at our hotel.

Saturday

• My sister calls every cab company to find her ID. Turns out the Lost and Found isn't open on the weekends. Make a note: do not lose anything on a weekend.
• One of the girls works for Southwest Airlines. She arranges for my mom to drop off my sister's passport with her supervisor who then flies it to Houston and passes it off to another supervisor who then flies it to Vegas where my sister is able to get it at the airport. Make a note: invite a friend who is a flight attendant to travel with you.
• In the meantime, we all went to lunch at In N Out Burgers. Then we did some sight-seeing along the strip. Finally I got to spend some time in the casino. I played Roulette for the first time. I lost about $80. My friend won about $80. I didn't like her much.
• That night we went to see the Chippendales show. It was quite a show...
• After Chippendales, we went to Voodoo at the top of Rio. One girl talked the door guy into letting us in. I mean, at this point we weren't really used to standing in line like the "common" people. Once in Voodoo we joined some guy's private party. It was really fun being part of this group of 9 hot girls. Lots of perks!
• We took a limo from Voodoo to Jet. Once at Jet, we partied the night away. I'm not sure what time I got back to the hotel or went to bed. I just know it was late. At least I went back to the hotel. Two of the girls ran into the room the next morning, afraid they were going to miss their flights.

Sunday

• This was travel home day. I was at the airport at 8am. I waiting in the security line for almost an hour. I'm glad I hadn't been rushing at the last minute.
• I was exhausted from the weekend, but I had no regrets. We partied like rock stars!

Overall, it was a really fun weekend. Apart from the lost ID, there was no drama. Given we had 9 girls sharing 2 hotel rooms, this is a pretty amazing feat. My sister has great friends who are beautiful both inside and out. I hope if I ever get married my own Bachelorette Party will be this much fun. Maybe I should just invite this group of girls again...
