tuesday june 3rd
vegas baby!!!
met my parents at the airport, it was so good to see them, it had been 6 months since the last time. my mom had won a free stay at the wynn hotel/resort... the only 5 star, 5 diamond hotel in vegas. woohoo! fanciest hotel i've ever stayed at. we signed up for our "red club" gambling cards, which come with a free spin to win lots of stuff. my dad won $10 in free slot money, and i won 2 tickets to see spamalot on wednesday night! since there were 3 of us, mom & dad had to duke it out to see who was going to be my guest. dad won, but only because my mother would rather gamble than do anything else.
i lost all of my gambling money on tuesday. it sure went fast... i had planned to spend most of the trip by the pool anyway.
the bathtub in the room was sooooooo amazing! it was so deep that it came up past my shoulders. i had a really great relaxing bath.
when i got in bed, it was soooo comfy!! the wynn is AWESOME!
this is the floor of the hotel. BEAUTIFUL!
wednesday june 4th
this morning, we went to the hooters casino (tee hee) because we had heard that they give you $100 free slot money when you sign up for their card. yeah, well, it sucked! the only way you could win anything off of that $ was if you could get 1700 credits. then you would get $50. let me tell you, it would have taken hours to get that many credits.... so we left and went to new york new york.
i rode on the rollercoaster there, which i had been really excited for... and it was a little disappointing. it cost $14 for a ride that consisted of one big drop, one upside-down loop, and one corkscrew. it was fun, but not worth the money. what made it worth the $ though was the fact that my dad had to hold my bag while i was on the ride. if you haven't seen my bag, it's covered in pink, yellow, and blue hearts and lightening bolts. super gay. i also have a pin on there that says 'i <3 pro choice boys' and one that says 'trans as fuck'. it brought me so much pleasure to watch my dad with that bag on his arm. to die for.
after nyny, we went to the stratosphere... A-MAZ-ING! to get to the top, you ride in what the elevator operator said was the fastest elevator in the world. 109 floors in 37 seconds. my ears popped! great views of the entire city from the tallest point there. i got a ticket for a ride on top of the stratosphere called 'the big drop'
that basically shoots you up to the top of the needles and then you freefall. i wanted to do it so bad, but they had to close the ride due to high winds. they kept one ride open called 'X-SCREAM'. 
that ride brought you over the side of the building and suspended you 850 feet above las vegas. crazy! it was so awesome.it rained today, so no pool for me. my mom kept feeding me money, so i went ahead and lost it for her so she wouldn't have to.
i inexplicably lost my cell phone. i took it out of my pocket to check the time, and specifically remember putting it back in my pocket and commenting on the time to my mother. i never moved from my one spot, but 20 minutes later, my phone was gone. i'm at a total loss as to how it could have happened. went to lost and found and filled out an inquiry. i've already stopped back in and called, but no luck yet :(
saw monty python's spamalot... super funny. john o'hurley played king arthur, lancelot turned out to be gay, there was lots of singing and dancing, and fun was had by all.
took another bath... can NOT get enough of the giant tub.
hopefully there'll be good weather on thursday so i can finally get some poolside time in.
thursday june 5th
went down to the casino with my mom while my dad was golfing. again, she kept feeding me money. but this time, i actually won something!!! turns out i'm pretty good at video poker. i got a royal flush and won 750 quarters! that's 187.50! woo hoo! it's gone now, but it was fun while it lasted. spent the rest of the day by the pool drinking coronas and swimming. fun times.
called my cell in the afternoon to see if anyone would pick up and someone did. he told me he was at the bellagio and that i should meet him there at 9pm that night. yeah, so i went to the bellagio at 9... my phone was off, couldn't get a hold of anyone. fucking douche bag. i've spent a good 15% of my vacation calling lost and found, visiting lost and found, and calling my phone. it's been extremely frustrating and has made my vacay less than fun :(
took another bath. it was good. we're waking up at 5:30 tomorrow to catch our flight to oakland. i can't wait to have free internet access again so i can let the world know i lost my phone.
since i wrote this weeks ago, i have since gotten a new phone and all is well and harmonious again ;)
