Addicted? I need it to breathe.
People have been using the word “crazy” in reference to the fact that I’ve been to Vegas three times this past month.
Me? I call it “spectacular”. Gotta say, each time was very very different but so much goddamn fun I would go again in a split second.
FRIDAY
Tried Mad Greek Cafe for the first time - finally. Had their gyro - well, about 1/3 of it because I really have not been able to eat lately. I blame the alcohol - did you know it has about a thousand calories per serving? Yeah, alcoholics are fatties.
Picked up Brett from the Rio and he had a little surprise waiting for those that invested in Brettcorp.
That’s apparently $20k+. Lookit all the big big smiles.
Night number one was spent at Blush, then TAO. Blush was having a FREAKING HELLO KITTY PARTY and there was free champagne and goodie bags (!!!!!) but they stopped giving us champagne because they saw us give it to the boys and we totally forgot about the bags. Alcohol impairs your ability to remember certain awesome things that could happen. Suckk.
TAO was followed by playing poker (I sit there and give good luck!) and drinking til about 8 in the morning.
SATURDAY
Was woken up three hours later to only have all that alcohol hit me then. It’s weird going to sleep slightlyyyyy (and this is quite slight) sober and waking up drunk.
Went to the pool at Encore, turned about 15 shades darker, napped, and ate at Yellowtail at the Bellagio.
Food was pretty damn good. Had my beloved uni and a toro roll. Christine ate some roll with freaking Pop Rocks in it. This was the most delicious looking dish that I did not order, though.
Sashimi with a poached egg and some vegetables wrapped in.. soy paper? It looked absolutely orgasmic.
Spent the night at XS which has now risen to become my favorite club. It’s just too pretty and big and spacey and there’s water and places to sit and getting to the bar is not the biggest fighting battle of the night. Sorry, TAO, you are now in second.
Spent the rest of the night in the poker room til 9AM again and sat next to the stranger who drank with us the night before. The poker room prolly hated us as we just sat there and laughed and talked about the most random things.
SUNDAY
Think I had around 3 hours of sleep again.. Before driving back, visited the In-n-Out, M&M and Coke stores. Didn’t even know there was an In-n-Out store. People bought aprons for their girlfriends. Hmm.
We took a picture with the Coke bear! Don’t remember there being one there last time.. He kept petting my head :(
Gotta say, this weekend wasn’t as crazy epic as Memorial Day weekend, but it was sure damn fun. I’d repeat it again in a heartbeat.
Pretty sure if there were support groups in which I’d have to say, “Hi! My name is Shannie and I’m addicted to Vegas,” I would definitely be a part of one.

Goodbye, Vegas. Don’t worry, I’ll be back.
