Hey...Remember that time....[part 1]
That I went to Vegas... and didn't post any pictures? LOL
well...
better late then never right?
so like I said.. what? like 2 months ago.. VEGAS kinda owns me now. it Seriously owns me. I want to go there, and live on the strip and smoke and drink and party and listen to AMAZING music for the rest of my life.
when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thisis_melissa or texmexx24 or I feel blue, all we do is think of Vegas, and all our woes go away...
first things first. The reason for that trip... one simple word.
FOREIGNER
back in like Januarytexmexx24 was all "WHO WANTS TO GO TO VEGAS TO SEE FOREIGNER?" and my sister and I were all OH HELL YES.
the show was the first night we were there, at a huge ranch/hotel/casino off the strip.
These guys rock out worlds. forserious. probably one of the best concerts I've ever been at. and that is saying alot. because i've been to a ton.
& we all kinda wanted to jump on stage and lick Kelly Hansen all over. That man is all KINDS of AWESOME.
They did all our favs and all the classics.
Hot Blooded.
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Feels like the First Time
Jukebox hero.
all in all. we didn't want them to ever go off stage.
bonus?
texmexx24 getting hit on buy the dude sitting beside her.
After the show, we just kind of bombed around the resort casino for a while. Sat at the bar and drank $1 margeritas, talked about boys, and life etc etc. good times.
Then we headed back down to the strip. told the cabbie to drop us kinda center strip. That landed us at Ceasers Place.
Where we unknowingly walked through a music video shoot. LOL
We went into the Ceasers Place shopping center. but it was really late so all the shops were closed. We just ended up snapping some pics. but the only one i'm going to show... is this one. because basically the conversation my sister and I had on FB made my life.
ok ok. so next day. we wake up pretty early to start our assult on the strip.
we see, and do everything we wanted to.
texmexx24 and I rode the awesome fun rollercoster at the NYNY
took a picture with a random greased up SPARTAN.
ONLY IN VEGAS I TELL YOU.. ONLY IN VEGAS...
I met 2 MJ impersonators.
but all I really wanted to do was see the Captian Jack Sparrow Impersonator. I was on a mission the entire weekend to find him. He was (according to my bff roomie) THE BEST CPT. JACK SHE'S EVER SEEN. And well. I'm a bit of a pirate whore. so I was on the look out for him everywhere we went. more on that later....
We walked in and out of every casino we could. Everything was just so surreal, I can't believe we waited this long to take a trip down there.
For any one who is a HIMYM fan.. you'll understand this.. & you will also understand that I HAD TO DO IT OK. :D
is that AWESOMESAUCE OR IS THAT AWESOMESAUCE?
the original is here
we stumbles. by complete chance (and not by the fact that the marquee said $2 beer on it) in to a casino/bar called O'Sheas only to realize that the beers weren't $2.. but $1
*CUE SKY OPENING UP, SUNLIGHT BURSTING THROUGH AND ANGELS SINGING*
This place was our VEGAS HOLY GRAIL. forserious.
we sat down with our dollar beers, planning on only having like one, then continuing on venture up the strip.
well 1 beer turned in to 2
turned in to amazing live music
turned in to 3 beers then 4
led to free hugs
turned into meeting some pretty awesome dudes
turned into 5 beers then 6
turned into meeting some pretty cool girls
turned into finding out 100 MONKEYS WAS PLAYING A "free" SHOW ACROSS THE STREET AT MIDNIGHT.
turned into 6 or 7 beers
turned into us wanting to go to the free show with our new dude friends
turned into my sister wanting to still hang with the girls
turned into us walking up the strip andtexmexx24 telling all the girl clicker guys that she loves penis on our way to a) take my sister to another live band playing in another casino so she should hang out with the awesome girls we met and b) texmexx24 and I making our way with our new guy friends to the Cosmopolitan to see 100 fucking MONKEYS.
so we are split up. all is good. my sister was going to text me if and when she wanted to meet back up.
texmexx24 and I wondered the Cosmo with our friend John.. and found some Gigantic shoes.
yes shoes. huge shoes. we needed to sit in them like now.
MY LIFE WAS NOW COMPLETE.
my sister ended up texting me just before the first set was going to go on..
(how i remember all this i will never EVER know...)
so I met up with her and made it back to the concert just in time for the second set.
let me tell you... Jackson Rathbone was amazing. AMAZING.
(if you don't know who Jackson Rathbone is... I guess he is most well known for his role as Jasper Hale in the Twilight series...)
and yes, its because of Twilight that I know who he is, and heard of his band.
Anways...
We were so close to him, we could of probably reached across the bar and touched him...
by the end of the show.. I don't even know. we decided to go gamble. I lost... (but thats totally ok.. because i totally won like 100 bucks earlier that day.)
my sister foundtexmexx24 half asleep on a VLT and decided to take her back to the hotel.
I wanted to hang with the 2 guys some more though. so I did. They were totally cool. A bit older and were working in Vegas for like a month.
I decided to go back to their place.. Im a really good judge of character, I wouldn't of just went with random strangers if i didn't feel safe...
they were so AWESOME though. they had rented out a condo just off the strip, in a little gated community.
We sat out on their balcony drank beer and listened to tunes and chatting up a storm until like 7am, when I decided "oh hey the sun is up... maybe i should head back" so I did.
The next day we were up again early. especially considering i didn't go to bed til after 7am. and did it ALL over again.
walked the strip
We had an amazing dinner of Margeritas and nachos at Jimmy Buffets Mareritaville. to die for. let me tell you.
if you go to Vegas. go there. seriously.
and.. I finally spotted my captain...
I was like "YOU. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU ALL WEEKEND!!"
and oh my god. this guy was brilliant. it was Jack to a T. mannerisms and everything. MY VEGAS TRIP WAS COMPLETE.
tHEN where do we end up again... yup. O'Sheas. for some more $1 beers and amazing live music.
we made some new friends. One in particular. His name is Steve. :D
We bought the band beers, and he came down after the show and hung out with us for a while.
hes in the band Mostly Thieves that i was pimping out last week.
Anyways.
I hope you enjoyed this really fast incoherent recap of my vacation 2 months ago LOL.
