Seatown in Vegas

I recently got back from a trip to Las Vegas. To say it was special would be like saying it occasionally rains in Seattle. When you hype a trip so much after two years of planning, it rarely delivers the excitement you had hoped for. But this trip did precisely that. I went with four of my best friends growing up, Connor, Ian, John, and Ryan, aka, Donn, Imax, Bails, and Slem. In three nights of gambling, partying, drinking and doing whatever else we did, I slept no more than 14 hours. I engaged in hours of roulette play, blackjack, and even tried my way at craps. Okay not really, but I wanted to. Every moment with these guys was a thrill. We spent most of the day in the casino gambling and watching the NCAA Tournament with all the "regulars." Come night time, we would shower and reconvene around 10 to prepare for our upcoming adventure. Perhaps our most fun evening was Friday night when we visited Tryst Night club at The Wynn Hotel. We pulled out our wallets and all forked over a few hundred bucks so that we could have bottle service and have our very own table for the duration of the evening. Despite by early skepticism, this was a tremendous decision. Not only did we enjoy fine alcohol all night, but we were centrally located at one of the premier tables in the club. We danced, drank, and stared at hot girls. Watching my 6'9" friend Ian try and hit on a 5'3" latina girl that night may be the highlight of the trip.
On a serious note though, I feel so lucky to have a group of friends I have known for this long. I know our friendships will only grow in years to come and that we will forever remember this trip for all the fun times we had together. This is a very special thing. It doesn't get much better than this.
