This Was The Weekend Part 2
Sorry I haven’t been able to update you all on more; it’s been a long week.
Saturday
JYL and I woke up to grab some breakfast. We were planning to go to the pool and tan, but it was really cold that day. I know, go figure right? Las Vegas is a desert except for that freakishly cold day. Anyway, since we could tan, we headed out to go shopping again. We were on our way to Sephora when we passed by O’Sheas, the Irish casino. I had noticed on Friday, but today, since we had nothing better to do, I decided that we should go in to play a game of beer pong.
Yes, beer pong. That place is freaking awesome for its beer pong tables. I was planning on just buying pitchers and stuff, but I noticed that two guys had were looking for people to play with, so I volunteered us both. We had a good game; we were both at 1 and 1. They made the shot and in order for us to prolong the game, we needed to make the shot too. JYL missed, but I made it in. In the end, we lost, but it was all fun and games. We exchanged numbers and that’s the last we saw or heard of them.
JYL is so funny when she drinks. It doesn’t take much for her to feel the effects of drinking and when she does, she’s all giddy and happy.
As we were leaving the casino, CZ called and said that he and his friends were standing in line at the Wynn buffet for lunch if we wanted to join, so we hopped into a cab and off we went. It was good food. Sure, I kept to a lot of soft stuff, but nonetheless, very yummy.
After lunch, we headed back to CZ’s hotel room (because that’s where everybody else was staying too) to just chill. We then decided to hit up a strip club, the Spearmint Rhino. NZ bought me my first (and second too) lap dance. They were pretty interesting. The first, she was new, at least to Las Vegas anyway, and she had fake boobs. However, I did like her costume and her butt. The second lady was a little more friendly and a little more enjoyable. It was all-in-all a good time.
We got back to the hotel to change for dinner. We headed downstairs to eat a burger joint before all of us went to Pure, the nightclub at Caesar’s. The line wasn’t as easy to go through like at Tao, but we got in. It was so crowded though; it made the dancing a little less enjoyable and a lot more squished. At one point, I suggested that we leave and come back because my feet were killing me. The shoes I had worn, even though I was able to run in them, were hurting my thighs as I tried to dance and it made the entire situation very uncomfortable. I also noticed that the purse I was holding, a sequined purse, kept snagging onto my dress, which eventually ruined the fabric (thankfully it was cheap), but also gave everybody else and myself cuts on my hands and thighs.
I quickly ran upstairs to change and when we came back down, we had decided not to return to a nightclub, but to go to another strip club, Seamless. It was different that the Spearmint Rhino since it was brighter and had a different style of music. The Spearmint was kind of dark and slow, probably to suit other types of customers. By the time we had arrived, I was so tired that it was hard for me to stay awake. We didn’t stay long and nobody really got a lap dance anyway.
What made the night a little worse was the immense cold. I hate the cold; I get cold pretty easily. That night though, it was so cold that I could swear that death, if not then something horrible, was on my brink. I was so cold, I had a hard time speaking and if I did, it was in a tiny voice. I was shivering really bad and it was just an all-around horrible feeling. I felt as if I was naked in a patch of snow or something. Not that I would know what it would feel like, but that’s what it felt like to me.
After that, we passed out for the night.
Sunday
JYL and I had to wake up really early that morning because JYL had signed up to go skydiving. She had chosen the later time, but since it was really windy in Vegas at the time, they pushed her jump time to noon. Because of that, we needed to get her to the airport by 10 am. The plan was for JYL, CZ, and I to cab share to the airport since it would have cost about $80, but when we called CZ, he wanted to sleep more since all of us had gotten in late. Because of that, we were scrambling to find a way to get there. We headed downstairs and rented a car in my name since JYL doesn’t have a license. The plan was to drive her there, go back to the Strip to pick up CZ, and then come back in time to see her jump, but when I returned with CZ, she had already jumped and was back on land.
We got back to the hotel and were so tired for not having slept a lot the night before that JYL and I passed out for a few hours. We woke up and decided to go with NN to find her a new purse. She and RS ended up winning about $15k (yes, that is correct) at the craps table, so she wanted to spend her money on a nice purse. She wanted a Louis Vutton but couldn’t find the style she liked so she ended up with (another – she bought one the first time they won last year) Gucci purse. We waked around with her and her friends for a while until we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner.
All seven of us, RS, NN, JYL, NN’s friends, and I headed to the Wynn buffet for dinner. That was also very yummy. They had creme brulee that was amazing. Makes me miss it all over again just thinking about it now. We were so stuff after dinner that we went back to the hotel to pack. Since most of CZ’s friends had already headed back to the real life, he was in the hotel room alone. NN and I suggested that JYL head over to spend some quality time with him before we headed back to the real world too.
Monday
We woke up so early to head back to Berkeley; I was really tired. We slept on the plane and even after that, I was really tired. I tried to go to school and stayed for an hour at work, but didn’t get much done. I was able to pick up some origami papers to make stars, but that’s about it.
Anyway, tired at the moment. I can’t seem to continue thinking more about my days, so maybe later I will update some more.
