Wow! So far I've only taken a plane trip , and I've done a few things I've never done before. First in-flight "beverages"! Not only did I get a beverage ... I got 2 ! Haha I know !
I've never seen the dessert before. I've only lived my life in cow country, Texas, and the evergreen country. I spent the whole flight with my face glued to the window like a kid. I could have sworn I saw the real "Nuketown" . For all those fellow nerds out there you'll understand the reference.
I have a list of a few places I want to check out while I'm there.
Payards chocolates is at the top. For my birthday last year my Gent got me the AMAZING macaroons shipped from there. According to him they have more.
Next on my adventure is the neon sign 24 hour museum. It's not the bone yard, but it's got some neat pieces.
So I'm currently in flight and enjoying my beverages and writing to the world. I'm thinking of all the fun things I'm going to do. I have no idea what , but man I'm excited...
By the way....I'm beginning bloodymary number 2...And about to begin my in-flight dessert of glazed nuts :-)
But yeah new adventure, new friends, same Ol me.
So I leave you now for my glazed nuts and angry birds.

Wow what a first night in Vegas . I had my most favorite moment, and my least favorite moment so far. Worst one first ... After coming back to the room I discovered I was super hungry. Being up for 36 hours and my only food was my plane meal on the way here, and a liquid snack (free champagne at Surrender) . So as I changed into some jeans and went about my quest for food at almost 4 am. Went to the concierge to ask about food. They proceeded to tell me about what the hotel had to offer ... The burger palace and a Chinese food joint both located a few floors up. Mind you I'm staying at the Imperial Palace ... A old hotel not exactly known for it's food. So ...Chinese place looks like I would get food poisoning just drinking the water, and the burger place is deserted ... I took my chances on the burger palace. Yuck! I'll spare you the details ... Bad bad bad. I'm not here to be a critic but damn. I didn't spend the rest of my trip sick, but I did wake up a few hours later feeling less then in my prime.
So on to my favorite moment so far... "Surrender" which is inside of The Encore. Holy cow! Oober swanky, oober awesome, and oober killer house DJ. I had the pleasure of meeting a few club promoters, and they so graciously took me around. Free champagne for the ladies , and all the ambience you can handle! Gogo dancers were so chic with their beaded belts, and hot little swim suits. The whole place is surrounding a pool. The theme seems to be the whole give into sin vibe. Serpent on the wall, apple in the logo, and there's plenty of temptation walking around. Just killer! I was dressed in a funky pinup style dress ect. But i didn't mind. I was dressed to impress, and I can't be at one of the swankiest places in town looking like everyone else...that's just not my style . The crowd was very ... "LA" in it's appearance . The gogo dancers we so cute. They had these amazing beaded belts, and wore a little swim suit under. So simple, but sophisticated. The bouncers left a little to be desired. Sure they are easy on the eyes, BUT they have that mentality of "This chick doesn't look like the others...hmmm let's mean mug her" HA! It's what I expected, and yes Surrender...I was paying attention to that. I wasn't there to look at the bouncers though so I could care less. As long as you dress like you are in Vegas then you'll be fine. Loved it! If only they had a night time pool party there...hmmm good idea. The pool was nice to look at ; however no one is allowed in it during the club time.
Once the rest of my party arrives; we will be attending there again for Skrillex. SUPER STOKED!
So lessons learned so far...
- Hotel choice was good because it's cheap and the location is perfect.
- tipping is really all you need if you're a chick and in Vegas
- dress nice and to impress...the more you look the part of a movie star the more everyone will think you are ;-) even if you don't look like you're from "The Hills"
- don't eat ANYTHING at the "Burger Palace" in the Imperial
So now that I'm awake, and ready... I'm off to gather some real food, and it's time to go meet up with the Envy Vixens and continue my journey.
