What ever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Sorta :]

Filed under: Admin — lukephotog @ 3:43 am

Left Rosemead at about 5 in the morning. The four hour drive was not bad at all. Thanks to cruise control. Made a pit stop at Del Taco for morning chicken soft tacos. Arrive here at the hotel like right about 9. Had to figure out the room situation. Well after the long drive and long wait in the lobby I still didn’t get my room. I guess some one was still in the room that was reserved. The house keeper told me that she goes on lunch at 11 so then when she get back from lunch the laundry should be done. I went to the lobby to confirm and left to go eat. I had to leave my stuff in my aunt’s room next door.

I went to the Flamingo Buffet place. The food wasn’t even that good. But I met this girl. Well kind of. She was sporting an Active tee so I asked her where abouts is she from. She’s from Orange County. The crazy thing is she bought the tee at Active Long Beach. That was nice to know that I encountered some one that’s not too far away from my home town. Well after we went on our ways. So during..breakfast?? Lunch, brunch?? I don’t even know what to call it. I said something about girls and I mean that the guy thing to do right. Well that’s what I was did and my cousins start to look at me like I was an alien or something. Hahas. I just thought that as so funny. Four guys sitting together and I happen to mention about girls. I just don’t know what to say.
Well after I came back to the hotel hoping to have my room ready so I can rest. Well, the room wasn’t ready. I argued it saying that I need to sleep and get ready for the wedding. I think I made the girl cry at the front desk. Well her eyes were watery. I felt so bad. I had to wait another half an hour. Spent two dollars at the slots machines. Lost two bucks. I finally got the keys to my room. Came up to the room and rest.

Couldn’t really do it. I wanted to get away from like all this casino part of Las Vegas, so I Google map a mall around here. It was supposed to be a 15 minute drive from the hotel and turned into like 40 minute drive. I drove way past the exit into like desert. Out of the City of Las Vegas itself. So stupid. Well went to the mall. Like a mall back home, Hollister, Zumiez, all that good stuff. Especially my favorite. Those Dell Computer kiosk things. I always try to open up Call of Duty and play the demo. Well that’s what I did. About when I was finishing the douche bag worker told me that theres a time limit to the computer. I started talking shit, saying isn’t this for demo and all this crap. Came down to, “Well, I think I would be able to pay $76 bucks a month for this computer.” I knew that cause I seen it from before. Made those fools look all stupid in front of their customers. Straight up, I told them, ” Good salesmanship guys.”

After that incident I just came back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. Got ready and left to the wedding. Shot some photos. Just whatever about them. They are good but I’m over it. There was open bar too. Started off with a Jack and Coke. Rum with Coke and lime, vodka with orange juice. Had a beer. Just chilled. Well the sole of my shoe decided to come apart during the banquet and I just sat the rest of the evening. Pretty lame. I was bored out of my mind. I couldn’t move. Well I would just like to say congrats to my cousin David and his wife Cherri. Have a happy life together. I was so tired that I just left the building without saying any goodbyes. When my mom walks out, David was right behind her, and I felt so bad.

During the wedding banquet part, my eye started to bug me. It made my eye super swollen and I felt like shit. So, when I got back to the hotel, I threw out my contacts, and put on my glasses.

When I was back in the hotel I wasn’t as tired anymore. Actually I went up and down the whole Las Vegas strip. I was just cruising through the sidewalks of Las Vegas strip. On this one corner, this girl (that sounds bad, but wasn’t like that) told me her story about bad experience with skateboards. She wanted a lift on my wood though. So I gave her a ride across the street. She invited me to sushi but I just said have a good night and took off. Repping ATL. Hope to talk or hear from her one day again.

Came back to the hotel. Went through the casino and watched some games. Pretty crazy. Those dealers count fast. Was at the “Dealertainers” area in the casino listening to Elvis Presley’s version of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Carolina, Y.M.C.A., Billy Jean and other songs. Pretty crazy area. Everyone was yelling and screaming. Like that actual Vegas experience.

I went back up to the room at about 1:30 and in the elevator ride up, I’m in a full car. The door closes half way and the guy closes to the door like sticks out his hand or something. It censored the doors to open back up. A friend of his said something like, “Your belly sticks out more than your dinkie does. The whole elevator is cracking up. I bet the guy feels all embarrassed.

I wake up about 8 a.m. I was planning to leave earlier but I was sleeping. Some how it lagged all the way till about 2 is when I started the drive back. Waited for everyone to get ready. Took down luggage to the car. Then waited for everyone to meet up together. Left to eat, at this Vietnamese place. Walk into the restaurant and already the seater was a douche bag. Didn’t say anything but I could tell by his looks. I didn’t eat. Everyone one else did. Got the check and payed for the food and they decided not to give us change. Like as if we were going to forget it. It was a lousy ten dollars, but it was the principle of it. Regardless if it was even a penny. They should have brought it over. We get in a big argument and the server from the beginning was talking shit. Gave us back the 10 and told my mom, ” Good luck, go buy some McDonald’s.” True story this guy told my brother, “You wanna step outside.” I square up, hit this fag bag up and bitch ass stays behind the counter. I’m surprised my brother didn’t deck him first try. He has been a little girl about things though, during the whole trip. Complaining about little stuff, and talked a bunch of jive. He says, “I think I am always right.” So, all Sunday I listen to his directions, and all day was I going in the wrong way. So proved him that, when I do open my mouth, it’s obviously cause I know right.

Went to this outlet a little bit outside of the strip. Went to the camera store and looked at some lens. I talked my shit. I just was bored and wanted to try out the lens. Walked around, then left. The drive was quite nice. Stopped in Barstow for some In-N-Out. Then made my way home. Not until I was back in the Los Angeles County. Like Upland I believe it was. The car that was behind me decided to ride my ass. I hit the brakes on him and he turns on his beams. Seriously, beside the taxi drivers in Las Vegas, cause there are so many of them. The drivers were way more nice. I don’t know if it was because most drivers on the strip were on vacation like me, so they just drive nice to avoid accidents out of town. Made my way home hoping to go skate a bit with the homies. But, they were in Chino, already, all day. I just knocked out at 8. It’s like 3:41 a.m. Monday morning and I’m finishing this up. I started this on yesterday morning. I’m pretty sure there’s a bunch of typos. I’ll figure it out.

So, this was my whole Vegas experience. Have you ever been to Vegas and had a weird but fun trip? Tell me about it!
