A Saturday in Las Vegas

After a fantastic night at PF Chang's last Friday for Alan's Birthday Extravaganza, the following Saturday held mostly relaxation and light partying. While the gang gathered at the Flamingo pool early in the AM, we were late-comers because Bryce was extremely hungover. Seriously, we didn't wake until noon and then he spent the next few hours praising the Porcelain God before I could get his butt in gear to drive the 13 miles to the Flamingo on the Strip. Sadly enough, we had to make a pit stop on the side of the freeway. Bryce -0- Alcohol -2-.

Yes, he gets to marry her.

 Seeing as how the pool closes at 6pm, it was time to pack up and move on. Everyone went back to their hotel rooms to shower and change. Alan was gracious enough to let us crash in his room for a few hours rather than drive all the way home again. party animals that we are laid around and watch AFV (that's America's Funniest Videos for those not in the know). Finally, we all met up again and headed out to Fremont Street as most of the visitor's have never been to the Fremont Experience.

The night was super amazing! We had the steak and lobster special at Tony Roma's then spent the evening walking around the Fremont Experience. We enjoyed the different bands that were performing on the various stages. The group explored several of the older hotels (it was neat seeing the mini aquarium at Gold Coast pool). And the perfect ending to a wonderful night was teaching Jonathan to play craps and winning over $300 at the craps table. Friggin' sweet! 

What Happen in Vegas Stays in Vegas....

....Unless I post all the sordid details HERE!

Celebrated a friend's 25th birthday in Las Vegas this weekend. I am so exhausted and partied out but it was one of the best weekends ever! Sad thing is, I didn't even participate in all the activities.

Started off Friday night with a celebration dinner at PF Chang's. All-You-Can-Drink for 2 hours, tons of appetizers and entrees. Now, I had worked all day before dinner and then we spent the night drinking and gambling so it was a long 24 hours.

Let's meet some of the players:

Birthday Boy Alan planned the whole night. He is the ultimate event coordinator and throws the best parties!

Newly engaged Jonathon and Dana. (See the adorable Christmas proposal)

Q: Why the sunglasses indoors? A: Covering up the hangover from that afternoon. VEGAS!

It was awesome hanging out with a group of girls for a change.

Now let's introduce some unlimited alcohol.

Greg the waiter brings the first round of drinks.

I think Patron shots were the 3rd or 4th tray of drinks.

Ready for the AFTER pictures?

The boys get very friendly.

Sharing is caring.

Check out Alan's Patron Shot:

Well, Alyssa does date a cop.

After dinner, the group of about 14 migrated several hotels down to O'Shea's where we gambled, drank some more, and just plain ol' had fun. Bryce was so out of his mind drunk, he was obnoxious and kept calling Alyssa "Alyson." She was not amused. At one point, I was talking to Dana and some random dude walked past her and kissed the back of her head. Then proceeded to stalk her around the casino. Somewhere around the 2am mark, my brother AKA DD, deciphered my drunk tests and finally found me. He was the only person sane enough to alert security to our creepy rapist-killer-stalker who promptly kicked him out. After another hour of sinfully cavorting with friends, Daniel guided me and Bryce the half mile trek back to the car.

Big D be Big Pimpin'

In bed by 4am and I only drunk texted a few select friends and family...and Facebook. No harm done!

Happy 25th birthday Alan! thanks for a wonderful time!!!
