I'm back my friends. Well, I've been back since 9 pm but that's beside the point. Before I write my Vegas roundup, here's how my weekend went.
Friday
Mike and I ate at Gardena Bowl and then we visited Charles at his work for a bit. Afterward, Mike and I went our seperate ways.
Saturday
Today was the secret santa party at Heidi's. Esther and I got there at about 7:30. Dave, Jen, Wayne and Heidi were already there. Right when we got there, they ordered Papa John's pizza. SCORE! Shane came by a bit later, followed by Charles and then Mike. Mimi and her friends also came by. It was really good seeing her. I haven't seen her in...damn...I don't even know. A few of us headed over to Tito's tacos . I didn't eat but just went along. We also had our gift exchange. I bought Wayne a gift card to Best Buy. Jen got me a six pack of coke, box of cheese-its, 3 Nestle cookies and cream candy bars, and the Mr. Bean boxed set. SCORE! Mr. Bean owns! Mike received poker chips which were immediately put into use for a mini-texas holdem tourney. I used Wayne's video camera to tape the action and added my very own commentary. Heidi and Dave played some speed which turned out to be very entertaining. Despite being really tired, I had a great time.
Vegas baby Vegas
Sunday
Esther and I reached Vegas around 7, thanks in part to the heavy traffic. When we arrived to Harrah's, we were shocked to find out we were upgraded to a suite. It was noice. It had two bedrooms. One room had two beds and a bathroom. The master bedroom had a king size bed, and a jacuzzi tub. NOICE! That in itself was quite an experience. Nothing says relaxation like taking a bath in a jacuzzi while watching some random crap on tv. Anyways, we went to eat at the Mirage. There was some remodeling being done to the main resturant and so it was moved temporarily to this banquet hall. Only took about 50 MINUTES! All good though because the food was great. Afterwards, we gambled a bit at Harrahs.
Monday
We walked to Caesars Palace to eat and then gambled. After that, we headed back to Harrah's and chilled in the room. Around 4, we drove to the Las Vegas Hilton to experience that Star Trek attraction they have. It wasn't worth the price of admission but it was interesting. Esther gambled a bit afterward and we went back to Harrah's for dinner. The buffet there isn't bad. I definitely give it a big two thumbs up. Once we finished dinner, we gambled a little and called it a night.
Tuesday
We checked out and then ate some breakfast. Naturally we stopped at the outlets on the way home because Nike Town is there. We also stopped at state line with intentions on just getting a mocha frap from Starbucks but ended up staying a while. After that, it was time to go home. Once we hit Barstow, we stopped to rest a bit and took a nap for about 30 minutes. From there, we drove back and stopped once more in San Gabriel for some good ol' J.R's Cafe food. We made it back to Torrance around 9.
My vacation is over but it was great. I actually came up this time (only about 40 bucks but it's better than being 40 down). Harrahs' treated me well on my first visit. The only thing that sucked was while I was in Vegas, I sort of forgot it was Christmas time. It's all coming back now though.
