My first full day in Vegas started about 11ish, by the time I actually got out of bed and ready it was midday. Turns out hangovers in the baking heat make a hangover about 20x worse!
So I got the bus straight to Mandalay Bay and headed for Shark Reef Aquarium. The creatures were out of this world and I kept having thoughts that the glass was gonna break everytime I went through a tunnel, and had lots of thoughts about Jaws! After the aquarium visit I walked along the strip to see all the sights. It was hustling and bustling and all the buildings were magnificent, even McDonalds!Spent an hr or so in the Casino drinking $3 Coronas and attempting to win money on the 1 cent machines....I didnt...I lost about $8, but hey ho!
I then got the bus back to the hostel, unfortunately my bearings were not very good and I ended up going to Fremont Street Experience at the end of the bus route. This place was like a mini dingier Vegas where alot of underage kids hang out to drink and lots of families were there. After checking that out for a while, I hopped on the bus and actually got back at the right stop!
My roomate had arranged guest list for the Palms Resort so I thought I would tag along with her seeing as I thought I would try something different. We ended up leaving about 11ish and got to Palms around 12:30 as it was 20 mins off the strip. By this point I was sober and pretty tired. We met up with a couple of girls that my roomate had met on Craigs List (random site where you meet new people, bit strange if you ask me?!!). Anyway, the girls were actually really nice, so we went into Rain Nightclub. Now this was an experience....I'm not really a big Hip Hop fan and this place was pumping it out while mainly black people were bumping and grinding whilst being cooped up like sardines. One woman actually asked me to move over so she could f*** some guy! A american rapper called Wale came onto the stage to do a set, that was pretty cool, but by this point I was dripping with sweat, made worse by some morbidly obese woman in VIP who was balancing on her seat to take a photo and fell on top of me....cheers love!
We swiftly moved to Ghostbar which was a rooftop terrace bar....much better and wished we'd gone there earlier! The sights of Vegas were amazing, the music was much more varied and I was able to dance properly (in my own special way, I was out with 3 americans who can dance like Beyonce...I dance like a spasticate duck). Around 4am we decided to call it a night, my feet were killing and I wanted to get up early to do more sight seeing. Unfortunately the buses back to the strip were only running every 30 mins so we were on for a long wait! Whilst I was on the bus, a little chinese guy couldn't hold his balance when the bus stopped. He fell head first into my boobs and didnt even hold out his hands to stop himself. He stayed there for a good 30 seconds and when he got back up he smiled and gave me a cheeky wink....ewwww!
We finally got on the deuce bus back to the hostel around 5:30am, again when the sun was coming up...I was making a habit of doing this!
