Poodle flew in from Brisbane and Chow Chow came in from the UK for a weekend of Vegas craziness. My plane was hideously late on the Friday night but the lads wasted no time befriending some crew in town for the Star Trek convention. I landed and not surprisingly they were all down at the Golden Nugget. Of all the places in Vegas I should not have expected these former officers of the Nugget Retrieval Unit to be anywhere else.
We stayed at the Cosmopolitan which is a really nice new place on the strip. Our room had a prime view over the strip and it was great to watch the Bellagio water fountains from the Balcony. The trip is pretty easy to explain in a blog as we only really did four things. Eat, drink, sleep and swim. The pool on level 14 was nothing short of sensational. It was filthy hot in Vegas so we spent almost all day inside of it. Classic and very relaxed time to catch up.
We had plans to smash up vegas at night but the problem was we could never really get our backsides off the couch at the Vesper Bar in the Cosmo. This was essentially their hotel lobby bar but let me run through the checklist
- Waiter service....check
- Comfy couch....check
- Cruisey tunes....check
- Not getting pushed around like a pinball....check
- Quite possibly the most awesome people watching ever, full stop, the end....check
- Out of control cat fight involving flying wigs, high heels being used as weapons and people being taken away in wheel chairs....check
Suffice to say we imprinted the couch with out backsides and had a blast there.
Was a truly memorable trip and we've made a pact to meet again in three years time in Tokyo. Boom.
