moi hotel room
i'm expecting just one more friend to share pictures of las vegas... and then i promise. i will try my damnest to not blog about that city anymore. at least not until the next batch of pictures. heehee!
i got an unbelievably awesome deal for my plane ticket to las vegas - the catch is that i'd need to fly in late friday night but stay a day after everyone else leaves on sunday. so i need to find a place to stay for my extra night in vegas.
trusty hotels.com got me a room for a mere $80. ohmigosh! it would have been $80 for each night, as opposed to almost $300 for hotels on the strip, had my friends and i stayed there! of course, someone else pointed that out to me when i was already there - i was only thinking of my selfish ass when i signed up for the room.
at that time, sitting at my desk at work trying to negotiate between hotels.com and a persistent assignment, i just wanted my computer to process my payment already so i can complete my assignments and complain on blogger that my credit card is getting a better workout than me.
i hella regretted my oversight, coz those who were able to stay behind and bring me to my room liked it a lot - 36th floor of the new york new york hotel, strategic start of the strip, the view of the strip laid out for all of us to drink in. we must have stood there a full minute gawking into the window glass before we realized what we were doing.
i asked everyone to stay one more night - it would be a lot more fun with. the couple had monday free, but they still needed to drive six hours back to los angeles. the one other in our party was scheduled back to work monday morning.
i didn't think much of sharing the room when i signed up for it, because at that time, i was trying not to think of what imma be doing on my own in a big city that does not sleep. looking back, boy, ahahaha - i didn't do much, actually, just stayed up taking pictures and trying out slots till, before i knew it, it was 5 a.m. and no, i am a good girl, i don't want to learn of other things i could do if again left to my own devices in las vegas of all cities, ahahaha -
the next morning i woke up at 9 a.m., packed and checked out on time. HOLLA!!! ahahaha. i had the hotel keep my luggage so i can roam about the strip one last time. that, my friends, was amazing. i hella had fun taking pictures, shopping and buying the $1 chip from every casino i entered. m&m, the coke store, margaritaville, mgm, the bellagio, monte carlo, caesar's palace, the flamingo, and the venetian hotels were amazing. the white lion exists - the mirage let visitors gawk at one of sigfreid and roy's pets. i didn't get to see the pirate show at treasure island, but i did purchase the balloon coffee cup at paris. i have my heart set on someday visiting the real venice. and before i knew it, i was late for my flight. ;-P ¶ 11/21/2004 03:59:00 AM
