Living It Up: Second Night of Fun in Vegas 01.30.11

      we started out day off pretty late because the fact that most of us were hung over, the crazy thing is that the bf and his friends were ready to party again at lunch. we headed over to the Wynn for their bottomless mimosa's brunch. 


bf and his friends standing in the line.
Shanes & I.
my first plate :P
hung over and starving. Alvie took my seat next to the bf :( so i sat across from him.
funny how we got placed in a room, it later turned into a club type thing. the guys ended up bumping music from their phones and we had pitchers of mimosas ( i think the server got tired of coming back and forth to refill, hehe)
my second plate... hella unhealthy i know -____-
someone is really happy.
my final plate and my favorite! 
afterwards we all headed out onto the casino floor for some gamblin', the bf took a banana for me so i would have something to snack on later. tehe
beautiful yellow canary diamonds <3 o__O
the beautiful floral display at the front entrance. i always love going to the Wynn & Bellagio to check out their floral displays.
afterwards we roamed back to our hotel for some gambling and the sportsbook.
the bf looking so cute with his little boy smile :)
so after returning to the hotel we proceeded to roam around and i hit up the slots, i'm not much of a crazy gambler, but i do love a lights, sounds, and cute pictures. the slots always know how to get me.

afterwards we all got ready for another night of partying at the Hardrock's Vanity, which is a very beautiful club if I might add.
the couples got in separately from the single boys, so we took a group pic.
another night of heavy drinking, i swear my body and liver 
hated me after that weekend.
i like how everyone is smiley except for J, I think he was caught off guard.
oh i think shanes was hit first by the alcohol. lol
i love how my bf is always so smiley.
oh there goes his smile :D
the featured drink of the night, the funny thing was that it was free belvedere till midnight that night. 
some of the boys again.
i love this picture, totally vegas advertisement worthy.
can you see everyone was feeling themselves. lol
oh the life: booty and booze.
you always know when this bunch is drunk when their eyes begin to close. lol
came up $220.42 from the $20 i put into the slots :D
we left around 3 and headed over to one of the Hardrock's restaurants.
not bad for $5-

we returned to our hotel that morning at around 5... the following day was short since our flight was around 3.. had lunch with the remaining people who didn't have their flight till around the same time as ours.

heading to the food court
mmm nathan's and a yummy turkey panini :D
i spent the last hours before leaving on the slots again and won this from $80! haha i was on a roll and randomly rotating amongst the same batch of machines.
i swear all i was missing was something really floral, a visor, and a batch of player cards, i would blend in so well with the locals ;)
the beautiful artwork was a sight to see!
leaving Las Vegas, it is always a pleasure to play here :)

Always fun to take part in a little sin: a weekend of celebrations in Vegas with great company

so the day after the boyfriend's pre-birthday dinner and such we took an early flight which was delayed -_________- to vegas for the weekend. These next few posts won't have too much writing, but more a photo recap of what occurred that weekend :D.
gotta love expensive airport food. lol the boyfriend devoured this in minutes!
each of us had a bag of these to bring on board. talk about early wake me up -___-, did i mention the bf's best friend works for an alcohol distributing company. they are insane.
the people flying with us on this flight. i think we separated into four different groups of flights, some left earlier and others left later. 
can you tell they were excited?
cougars on the prowl. tehehe
the super super long windy line for taxis, it was pretty crazy, the picture does not do the line justice!
staying at the Venetian for the weekend, can you tell they were getting ready for the lunar new year celebrations, they totally know asians have a weakness for gambling, hehe.
grabbin' a afternoon bite before heading out.
the bf has a crazy obsession for icees -_____- i told him all it was, was frozen sugar/syrup, he replied , " even better!"
a little shopping before bottle service that night :), it's so beautiful! i love the architecture and crazy attention to detail that vegas has for everything. 
the animated statue that put on a show every few hours.
yay finally back at the hotel with his surprise gift :) he had no idea.
hmm what could it be?
ouuu a new wallet, finally! his poor lv was totally falling apart.
the group for the weekend, everyone is ready to go :)
this picture does not do justice to how much alcohol these crazy people consumed in just the first evening.
super wasted.
the ladies of the night.
in the limo on our way to Eve, i sweat it felt like the driver was going to kidnap us and leave us in the desert totally took us on some cutty route.
one picture before we lose everyone or forget what happened. haha
while waiting to get in the guys were goofing off.
our beautiful bottle service set up :)
the couples had to get one table and the bachelors were set up with another one perpendicular to our table.
hanging out with my bf's boy's table. i totally have no recollection of climbing onto their booth platform -______- i'm not a drinker, but vegas brings out the drinker in me.
excuse my hideous split bangs -_____- i don't know how girls still look so beautiful after being drunk, dancing, and sweaty; give you ladies mad props.
this is the other birthday celebrant, M. is a day younger than my bf. lol they are total bffs.
nothing like some yummy food at 4am after the clubs.
the bf is obviously done.

the first night was epic and i am still amazed at my ability to still have not lost anything that night especially my phone or id. hehe there are way more pictures than this, but i just selected a few to sum up it up. if you can't tell by now i really enjoy picture taking, hope you enjoyed it. stay tuned for the second night and a continual recap of what's been going on since january till now :D.
