Pool Parties, Rallying Hard and Proposals (( Vegas Part 2 ))

Part two! I don't want this to end :-(

When Sabrina mentioned the idea of hitting up some Las Vegas pool parties, I'm pretty sure we all said yes before she even finished the question.

Please note our room! hahahah

Day two of our trip began with the Encore Beach Club pool party at the Encore hotel! We got there and after taking it all in for the first 5 minutes thinking, holy crap, we decided to hit the bar! The pool was HOPPING! DJ blaring music, girls in skimpy bikinis, cabanas, beds, stripper poles, you name it.

Our sweet little Shalyn actually ended up befriending these two adorable girls who let us hang out with them in their "pool bed!" They were SO unbelievably sweet and we all bonded really well with the two of them! How cute are they? We actually ended up meeting up with them that night too! They were visiting from Orange County!

Then we met some foreign eye candy, one of them being a fitness model!! Shay made it perfectly clear that she was a married lady in the group pic!!! Yeah DDHP! :-)

After Encore Beach Club, we headed back to our room for a quick change and decided to hit the strip for some sightseeing, shopping and food! I'll tell ya...Vegas may be mostly gambling, clubs, glitz and glam, but it sure is gorgeous!

That night, we hightailed it to a SEXY club called XS! It was amazing...and there was a famous DJ there--Diplo? I had only knew one of his songs but he was unreal! The club had lots of blackjack tables so I had to press my luck. This night I apparently thought I was Lil Wayne because I was betting 100$ hands. I am thankful for the guy next to me who pressured me into doing that because I was $280 richa! Holler!

This particular night involved lots and lots of dancing, a man telling me my flats looked like house-slippers/moccasins but that I was smart to be wearing then, a dancing little person who flipped off Shalyn but then danced for her, and lots and lots of fist pumping! Seriously one of the FUNNEST nights! We still talk about this night.

Day 3...we hit up another pool party, Daylight, at Mandalay Bay. Top-Notch--it was gorgeous! I could go to that pool party every weekend. Maybe that's a stretch, but we had such a blast there and met the CUTEST little bachelor party. Don't worry, half of them were married and they weren't creepers. We loved them!

GUY FIERI???!!

This next picture was minutes after we found out that Steph and Beau were having a GIRL!! We texted them this picture and a video that I'm still scared to watch because I think we were both crying in it hahahah

We had an...interesting night this night. One of us, thou shall not be named, partied a little hardy at the pool party (rhyme!) and had a 3 hour nap and when we woke her to get ready, she said she was probably going to stay in that night and sleep. The rest of us did what any other amazingly awesome friend would do and said, "okay, feel better love!"

PSYCH!! We said get your sexy booty up and put on some clothes we are going OUT!!!! And oooooooh that girl...she rallied hard and we love her for that!

We went to a crazy cool club at the Cosmopolitan called Marquee and actually met up with the bachelor party we met at Daylight! They were continuing their festivities at a table outside that came with its own hot tub!

 Ashley....you are a ghost in this picture hahaha!

As you see, Ashleigh met up with us again that night and we were so happy! Ash, we loved you so much and couldn't stop talking about you!  She's a girls girl, looks out for everyone, someone you can talk about ANYTHING with, and someone who can still turn down for what! We seriously loved meeting you so much and I'm also pretty sure I've also begged her multiple times to come visit me...right Ashleigh!?!

We headed back to our room that night with sadness in our eyes...it was our last night! And none of us wanted it to end :-( It almost didn't end because I almost lived in Vegas forever because I was proposed to in our lobby by a Frenchman!

He apparently saw me earlier in the night, and then again at the Bellagio. We are walking back to our room and we hear footsteps of someone running and when we turned around, it was that guy. He said it was fate that he saw me twice and needed to propose. Sabrina gave him her ring and he said:

Will you marry me? Would you like to spend the weekend together?

(LOL)

He settled for a hug and a European kiss (the cheek kiss hahah). At least I can say I sort of got engaged in Vegas?

I'm already sad to write this next part because it means we were leaving each other :-( We woke up our last day and went for a nice lunch outside! We reminisced about our trip and what we loved the most. It was hard, y'all! I did NOT want to leave these girls that I love so much!  After lunch, we headed to the Las Vegas Sign to get the much needed photo to end our trip with a bang!

Ashley was the first one to leave which sucked because she had an early flight BUT...her flight ended up getting delayed so she could have hung with us for 3 hours longer! Southwest...we hated you!

Then there were 4...Rissy, Sabrina, Shalyn and I had quite a few hours to go so we decided to lounge by the Bellagio pool before we headed to the airport around 6pm! That pool...it is absolutely GORGEOUS! And even though we had a lot to drink that weekend, we needed to have just oneeee tiny little drink because, Viva Las Vegas!

We made friends with the Bell Hop who let us into the luggage room to see where they keep bags! Of core we needed to pose on the luggage cart haha!

AND THEN! Ashleigh came back to us one last time because she loves us so much! Actually, it was half because we had an extra bottle of vodka that we gave to her hahahaha! But an Ashleigh sandwich was in order!

And then...we made the sad trip to the airport and chowed down on chips/salsa/burritos on the airport floor while we charged our phones and tried to delay our departure :-(

Agh!! It was hard to leave ALL of these girls!

I took my sad plane ride back to Boston but first, ate a sad lunchable at 11pm in the airport.

Sad... :-(

About an hour before boarding, an older woman started violently puking in our gate's trash. Lovely! Then she luckily disappeared, until I went into the bathroom and heard her dry heaving it up in this bitch.

Well, Vegas..you were SO good to us! Thank you so much for letting some of my favorite girls and I play in your city all weekend! Love them so much and am already looking forward to the next trip, which by the way, is in the works!

A video will be forthcoming...I haven't looked at all the footage yet but I'm scared.... :-D

Vegas, we love you!

The one where we lost our voices (( Vegas Part 1 ))

Well, it's been a week since I've been back from Las Vegas (aka the best weekend EVER) so I figured I should finally show my face around these parts and share all the dirty little secrets! ;-) I am splitting this into two posts...it should really be 20 because of all the fun we had BUT...I won't do that to y'all :-D I also brought my GoPro so I'm putting together a little video of our trip and will post once it's perfect!

Sunday night while waiting for my midnight flight back to Boston, my throat started to feel a little funny. I thought, okay, this has to be because of all the Vicki Gunvalson "WOO HOOS" in the clubs and lack of sleep...but no, that little throat tickle turned into the week from hell! I was sick all last week; sore throat, heavy head, sleeping ALL day. That's where I've been. I'm dubbing it the "Vegas Virus." It was 193827% worth it!

Let's get to it, shall we?

We all arrived in Vegas Thursday early afternoon. My excitement level was way past a 10 as my plane descended into Las Vegas! Our pilot told us our baggage was at carousal lucky number 21 and the plane cheered and clapped...this was already off to a fantastic weekend!! I unfortunately was in a completely different terminal than the girls at Las Vegas airport, but much to my surprise, Mr. Jonathan our limo driver was there with a sign with my name. IS THIS REAL LIFE?!

 (empty limo...picking up my girls!!)

As I ran through the airport to meet Shay, Sabrina, Ashley and Rissy, I felt like I was running to see my long lost love! We ran to each other in the airport like you see in movies!! (I have it all on film don't worry haha) We screamed, hugged, laughed, screamed again...the weekend was set off with a BANG!''

 

Our hotel was UNREAL!! We honestly felt like ballers living it up at the Bellagio! We got to our room and immediately put on the Vegas playlist and started dancing all around the room, jumping on the beds, and screaming! This trip had been literally years in the making and we couldn't believe we were finally all together--in VEGAS no less! Check out our FLIPPING VIEW!!!

 Hermes..Twerkin for a Birkin

Since half of us were on East Coast time, we decided it was absolutely necessary we get food, so we headed across from our hotel to Cabo Wabo! Honestly, this lunch was so much fun. It was so great to finally talk in person about alllll the stuff we talk about in group texts for 10 hours a day. Life, boy drama, love, funny stories...I mean, I think the girls were intrigued to find out a lil something something about me that that MAY not have known ;-) Also, this may have been because I was 2 drinks deep.

 PURE HAPPINESS!! <3

After chowing down on delicious Mexican food and drinks, we headed to the old Las Vegas strip to do the zip line down Fremont Street! We got there and were all excited to do it, BUT THEN...found out it wasn't open for another month. We were SO sad! Could you imagine 5 girls bombing down Fremont Street zipline after a couple drinks? It would have been unreal! We walked the old strip and popped into the Golden Nugget to press our luck at BlackJack. WINNERS!

This photo was probably illegal

 Winners!!

Side note. We honestly had some of THE BEST blackjack dealers while we were on our trip. Wait let me just say...we ONLY played blackjack...we became ADDICTED! But really...our dealers were so sweet...they helped us, let us know what was a good and bad idea, laughed with us and cheered when we won. It was so nice! 

After winning and feeling lucky, we decided to head back to the room to start getting ready for the evenings festivities. BUT FIRST....we needed to get in touch with miss AshBash herself and tell her to get her booty to the Bellagio for our night out! 

This girl...oh my lanta...she came to see us with little goodie bags of "Vegas Necessities." Tylenol, dramamine, tums, tissues, granola bar, condoms <--just kidding..or am I? Ashleigh is THE SWEETEST and exactly what I pictured her to be which made me happy happy happy! I was also extremely happy that we got to see her multiple times! How cute is she??

That night, we all headed to TRYST night club which was at the Wynn! It was gorgeous! Sabrina got us some MAJOR hook-ups and we literally were on every list. A LIST! Ashley said at one point "my name has never been on a list...can we get a picture with that?" LOL dying. So true. We danced our butts off and eventually ended up meeting this group of guys who invited us to their table. They were so welcoming, sweet and some of them professional gamblers. It's an interesting world...imagine dropping 5,000 in 1 minute? I cannot even wrap my mind around it! 

 SKILL hahaha

I'm pretty sure by the time we crawled back into our room it was close to 3am and I wouldn't have it any other way! We had a few minutes of girly pillow talk before we were out like a light. We had a big day the next day...POOL PARTY! Here's a teaser...

THE MONEY SHOT. LITERALLY

Until Part 2.... :-)
