    Dead Kennedys. WOW!!! I haven't heard them in forever. :lol: BTW...my flight leaves from MT at 11:35 Monday morning so I will actually be drunk and sleep deprived already when I get Las Vegas. I'm not worried. I've done it before. :lol:

    Me and my 4 best friends are heading to Vegas in 3 weeks. It will be my first time. We're catching the Toadies and Helmet at the Hard Rock. I expect mass debauchery.

    Any suggestions from you crazy bastards?

    Puking usually helps. You get killed at the tables or what? They got me last month...those bastards.

    Surprisingly no. I think I'm about even. I still have a pocket full of chips from the Luxor, NYNY, and the MGM to sort through and cash to see where I stand. Funny thing is, and this is the truth, I have ZERO idea how I got any chips from the MGM. I have no memory of playing there last night at all! :lol: :fp: But now that I think I did play poker there last night....I don't know. It's all a blur. :lol:

    :lol::lol: I have definitely woken up with a $500 chip in my pocket before with no idea how it got there. Gotta love Vegas.

    I saw the Toadies and Helmet last month, it was a GREAT show!

    And in Vegas?? You're going to have a BLAST. Is the show at the Joint or the Venue? Either way Hard Rock has some cool venues. I definitely suggest going to Fat Tuesdays for drinks with extra shots - they're all over on the strip. Where are you staying? What other kind of stuff do you guys plan on doing? Gambling, sightseeing, dining, clubbing? There's so much to do and something for everyone.

    Vegas literally kicked my ass last weekend. I may or may not have been at the Crazy Horse one night :shh:

    We actually didn't meet up. :fp: 100% my fault. As usual I drank too much and couple that with the fact I have the attention span of a small child when I'm in Vegas I kept missing where she was. Oh well. Maybe next time. :fp:

    Both our faults halfpint! No worries, we'll have our chance. I think Vegas kicked both of our asses this time. Seriously 5 nights for me - I feel like someone beat me within an inch of my life :lol: Came out pretty even in the end...which is amazing considering all the frozen treats I bought! There was also a Jameson shot night...that's the one that ended with my group at the Crazy Horse :lol: I gotta say too, I was pleasantly surprised staying at the Stratosphere, nice big rooms, good casino floor, great sportsbook. I'd stay there again. We had a car and even though traffic's a bitch - there's really nothing cooler than driving down Las Vegas Boulevard 8-)

    Anything more than 3 nights turns into self mutilation there. I did six last year and never again. :nono: I did two nights this time and it wasn't enough. I think 3 is the perfect trip for me.

    I think you're right - 3 seems to be the magic number. Did you get any octanes?! And did you ask for 2 extra shots??!!

    Octanes? Do bears shit in the woods? :lol: And I didn't ask for two shots. Forgot about that. :fp: I will tell you at the Fat Tuesdays in the Luxor they will give you free samples. :lol:

    Free samples?!!! That is most excellent!! I got one of the souvenir glasses that you get cheaper refills on...worked at every frozen drink place, even the ones that weren't fat tuesdays, like coyote ugly! I may have looked like a degenerate carrying a plastic cup with me all weekend but I really didn't care :lol: Did you know that if you mix an octane with a hurricane it's called a 44 magnum? Heavenly dear sir. Heavenly.

    Mamasan...I can't believe you did 5 nights...that is insane! I think 3 is a good amount. 2 nights never seems like enough, but 3 seems like too much so I usually go with 3. Although after my 3 night bachelor party, I was ready to check myself into a hospital.
