...the fact that Vegas is in the middle of a barren desert totally smacks you in the face. On to NYC...

Once you get away from all the new building and the palm trees...

Sure the Bellagio and the Venetian are nicer, but they sure as hell don't have...

...my roommate's friend Amber (who you may remember as the make-up artist that transformed the three of us into Cross-dressing Hula Zombies) and two of her friends.

Then late night we hit whatever club is up on the roof of the Mandalay Bay hotel (maybe the Foundation Room?) to meet up with...

Here's us with an elder Klingon. The two people on the left hammed in on our photo opp because they were too scared to ask the other younger Klingon for a photo. (That's how seriously intimidating he was! Other adults were too scared to ask him for a photo! Hahahahah).

Oh wait, you mean you thought I was kidding about there being Klingons walking around in there? Seriously, as funny as this picture is, this guy was TOTALLY intimidating. He had a deep, booming voice and refused to break from his Klingon character in any way. Imagine being all drunk and having this dude come over and be like "Tell me: your mission is going well?" And when you try to fuck with him or laugh he just glares and says something else equally abrasive in Klingon (yes, Klingon as in the made up language that nerds have actually taught themselves to speak ). Too fucking much. After like ten minutes of awkward, forced sci-fi non-conversation (half of it in a made-up language, no less), I finally convinced him to let me "capture our likeness together on my holographic print cube." Jesus.

Then later, I guess we hit the Bellagio too. Despite the amount I go out, I'm kind of a lightweight when it comes to booze and the free scotch that was flowing at the casino ended up making me too drunk to do much besides...

After DorkFest was over, Philip and I went to the MGM to get our gamble on.

But in the end, all things considered, it didn't end up looking too bad! Nice, right?

We arrived on Monday night and checked into the Hilton.

The construction site (I'm not sure what they're building) as seen from the walkway up into the gigantic mall inside of Caesar's Palace.

"Look at this place. Ugh, WHAT A DUMP!" I almost pissed my pants.

From the airport, Louis, Tara and I split a cab to The Venetian, our hotel. Right when we step into the lobby, Tara stops, looks around, throws her bags down and loudly exclaims...
las vegas
We walked down the strip, had a few drinks (can you tell?) On, and you can actually walk around everywhere in Vegas with an open container...WHA? and then we went back to the hotel...but not before Tara fulfilled her life-long dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower. (First Venice, now Paris that I don't have to go to anymore? Man, going to Vegas is like putting money right back into your pocket! Who knew?)
las vegas
The hotel is themed after Venice (The Venetian, get it?) and has canals with gondoliers paddling people through the goddamned mall inside.
las vegas
...some HOT SLOTS! Hehehe. Then after that it was...
