This morning we upgraded our room. We didn't really care about much other than showering and sleeping our first day. So when we woke up in the morning and I opened the curtains to allow a little sunshine through, I realized not much sunshine was to be found. We are in the desert dang it! There should be sunshine in abundance! But no. We had a white concrete wall. If we climbed into the window we could see a little bit of blue sky waaaaay up there. I was not very happy with the view so I went down stairs and complained and they moved us from the third floor up to the sixteenth floor. Same crummy super 6 inspired room but a fantastic show out the window. I was happy.
The rest of the group had already headed out for the day by the time we woke up so we meandered throughout Vegas in search of them all morning and afternoon. We did a lot of window shopping too. Only window shopping though. That crap was expensive. We rode the free tram (the only free thing in all of Nevada I believe) from Monte Carlo to the Bellagio. There was a little old couple on the tram with us who had lived in a town near us here in fantastic southern Illinois. They live in Phoenix now. What smart people. Bellagio was fantastic, as was Caesars Palace. We played in the butterfly garden at Bellagio's and finally found our group at the other end of Caesars Palace. And then we walked all the way back to our hotel. I got to see a lot but that day felt a little wasted. Oh and I was all cute in my shorts and vest and big tall brown heels. And then the heels started to make a flip flop sound. And then I realized the soul of the shoe had left the heel. I left my beloved heels in a trash can in the lobby of Caesar's Palace. How sad. They were like my favorite shoes. I guess that's why you shouldn't take an adventure in 5 inch stilettos. I have to admit, flip flops were much more comfortable for the journey back to our hotel.
Time for the Bachelor/ette party! We all converged on the restaurant Dick's Last Resort for dinner. That was the funniest place ever. The servers are rude and very free spirited. They have paper hats and wrote very crude things on them. The maid of honor's said "I <3 Anal!" and Patrick's said "Chronic Masturbation Causes Blindness", but my goodness! It was hilarious! $400 later we headed to Coyote Ugly. It was crowded, sweaty, and somewhat stinky. The bride and groom enjoyed lap dances from total drunk strangers while getting free shots. Then it was time for the boys to leave. No one really knows what the boys did but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...right? As for us girls, we hung out in the club for a while and then I lost them. I went to the casino to cool of and I won $131. I headed back to the club and they were gone! So I enjoyed New York New York by myself for a couple hours. It was actually quite enjoyable. A few amaretto sours later I found my drunk husband and his posse. I hung with them for a while before we headed back to our hotel for a few more drinks and to crash for the night.
Until next time...The Magniloquent Mary
