My new girlfriend (the divorced mom from Match.com, read my previous post) mentioned that she has never been to Las Vegas, NV and I felt it was my responsibility to "de-flower" her with the Sin City.
We drove from Albuquerque, leaving early on Saturday (7/11/09). We had tickets to see Chris Angel at the Luxor that day at 7pm. I turned on TomTom to get approximate time and it said we would arive arond 7:20pm! Shit! It turned out that TomTom f'ed up the time change..?
We arrived about 1.5 hours early and registered at the Holiday Inn Express. We got a AAA discount thanks to Silvia. This hotel was nice and close to the Luxor. Breakfast was good too.
We saw the Magic show and it wasn't that great. Silvia loved it but it was just a bit cheesy. The Cirque Des Le performed with Chris Angel, which was one of the only portions that I thought was good. We bought some drinks before the show and they were AWESOME! It was kinda weird when we first got there..we were early so the place was kinda empty but we sat right next to another older couple. After talking with this man, he told me they were from San Diego and he used to work in the tech industry and now works for the San Diego Psychiatric Hospital.. "Oh really?"
Next morning we checked out and went to Downtown. Walked the Freemont mall, played some BJ at Binions (had to validate our parking) and then saw the largest (former) gold nugget at the Golden Nugget hotel. Then we went to an Ed Hardy outlet store. Silvia bought me my first and only Ed Hardy shirt. Very comfortable. She bought some Calvin Kleen underwear.
Checked into the Luxor, the line was outrageous. Got into our room in the pyramid and we had 2 beds...WTF! I asked Silvia to call the desk to fix this and they told her to call back tomorrow around 1pm. OMG, I'm starting to get pissed. She called back asking for the hotel manager. They moved us to the West Tower (upgrade). The bell boy was very helpful and we tipped him with a $20...yea biatch we're high rollers!
This is starting to get very exciting now...and for Silvia, she was exstatic! We spent much of our time at the pool drinking a ton of Pina Coladas. We got in the hot tub when it wasn't too crowded. Lots of little kids in the hot tub took away from the mood, but it was still relaxing.
We went to eat at Hooters. This was Silvia's first Hooters experience. Lots of "firsts" for her on this trip. We also went to the Hard Rock Cafe. This kinda turned out ugly. We had an argument that lasted until the next morning. We went to bed mad, well, I wasn't mad, but she wasn't talking to me and I just kept my mouth shut.
We went to various hotels to view their goodies and outrageous gimmics. The Venetian was beautiful. We bought our Crazy Horse show tickets there. That night, we got dressed to the "nines" to watch the burlesque show at the MGM. The women were perfect! Carmen did only a couple of small dances and didn't look nearly as nice as the other women. We sat next to two Russian women, a mom and daughter. The daughter had a nice black dress. The mom took a nice photo of Silvia and myself.
We planned on going on the Hoover Dam tour but it was just way too hot and I was tired. Next time.
I hope you enjoy some of these photos.....
