A week and a half ago I was in Las Vegas. Never having been there before, I was so excited! I was to leave the day after Christmas and stay for 4 days, 3 nights. I’ve been talking about it forever. I did Vegas shopping, bought two little black dresses, 2 pairs of shoes, got my hair cut and stepping foot in the salon was a feat in itself, let me tell you! — I was so freaking ready.

Then The Christmas Curse came and those little black dresses never got worn.

See, every year for the past 3-4 years, I’ve been sick on Christmas. I always end up getting a horrible cold and feel miserable. It never fails, which is why I dubbed it the Christmas Curse. I should have expected this year would be no different.

After the most uncomfortable flight ever, we finally land and basically drop our shit off in our rooms and we are off! It was pretty chilly the whole time we were there, around 30 degrees. Walking up and down the strip all day with an awful cold, left me exhausted by the time it was time to hit up the clubs. The first night, I sucked it up and was ready to hit up LAX, but our plans got thrown off track due to black shoes and a creepy cab driver. That story deserves it’s own entry though, TRUST ME. It’s coming though. The next two nights, I just couldn’t do it. My face was a bright shade of red, my eyes hurt like hell, runny nose and scratchy throat. My head weighed a million pounds and every time I ate, I felt like I was going to be sick. That’s what happens when you go from eating practically nothing, so you, yourself, don’t weigh a million pounds to eating a bunch of heavy food all day. Not smart. Anyway, point is — I was out by 10 every night. I couldn’t help it. I was exhausted. That did not stop me from making the most of the time I was up and about though! I will write more about that later though. Let’s just take it slow!

I didn’t take as many pictures as I would have liked. Also, when you take out the pictures that actually show my face, you don’t have much. I can’t find my camera cord so the cute, cuddly tigers and other pictures will have to wait until next time.

Since I have no camera, you get the couple pictures the boyfriend took with the iPhone!


That’s our little hotel peeking out in the back, you know with the huge Statue of Liberty and giant roller coaster. The New York New York was a great place to stay for my first trip to Las Vegas.


Here’s the limo that picked us up from the airport. It’s lime green. Okay, it really didn’t, but how amazing would it be if it did?!


Just another view from the strip.


Night time.


A sneak peak of my sicky ass playing the penny slots. Isn’t my tousled hair and ear lovely?

 

So that is another chapter (part one is here)in my Vegas vacation. More is definitely to come!
