Went to Vegas with DM last weekend! It was his 21st bday, so this was, I hope, the perfect trip for celebration. We were upgraded at Bally's to a RIDICULOUS suite for no increase in cost - they had overbooked the rooms. They called it the townhouse suite. I thought I heard the desk gal say something about townhouse, but I didn't know what we were getting at the time. I asked, "Does it have two beds?" since A) we had reserved a 2 bed room so we could sneak in DM's other two friends JK and M? into the room. She says, "No, just a king bed." "Can we get a roll away?" I ask, "I'd rather not sleep with him." I turn to DM, "We can trade off on the roll-away." We get our roll-away delivered up there sometime later, and head up to the tower.
We're on the 25th floor. I note in the elevator that there are only 26 floors. We go down the hall and open the door to our room. The ceiling is 30' tall. But there is no bed. We gasp a little bit, walk in, and then notice there's a staircase. Up the staircase there is another small room, and then a hallway down to the bedroom, which has ~20' ceilings, a jacuzzi right in the room, king size bed, bidet, shower, two vanities with sinks. It was crazy. I figured that this wasn't luck - I had basically paid for it with my losses on the last trip :P
I figured I was lucky enough to get the room that I didn't gamble much on this trip. Never sat down at the BJ table. Just pulled a slot machine for my UT (got that on video, which was fun for when I got back to Socal). Otherwise, drank a ton, went to Shadowbar with DM loved. Met up with BN!!!!! He was in a pool tourney that same weekend, so it was cool to meet up with him and his new pool friends from Norcal. Great group, it seemed. There was a fooseball, airhockey, and billiards tourney going on all at the same time in the back of Riviera. It was like a bar game mecca. Anyway, BN didn't win the torney - too bad. Ended up drinking a lot down at Bellagio, and called it a night around 2a.
I got DM and his friends to the airport and then left town on Sunday. Seems like we all had a great time!! Tough drive back - hard to focus driving that far, and had to stop a few times to just sleep a little, drink a little water, all that.
