Las Vegas: Part Two (iPhone edition)

January 8, 2008 | Las Vegas

A week and a half ago I was in Las Vegas. Never having been there before, I was so excited! I was to leave the day after Christmas and stay for 4 days, 3 nights. I’ve been talking about it forever. I did Vegas shopping, bought two little black dresses, 2 pairs of shoes, got my hair cut and stepping foot in the salon was a feat in itself, let me tell you! — I was so freaking ready.

Then The Christmas Curse came and those little black dresses never got worn.

See, every year for the past 3-4 years, I’ve been sick on Christmas. I always end up getting a horrible cold and feel miserable. It never fails, which is why I dubbed it the Christmas Curse. I should have expected this year would be no different.

After the most uncomfortable flight ever, we finally land and basically drop our shit off in our rooms and we are off! It was pretty chilly the whole time we were there, around 30 degrees. Walking up and down the strip all day with an awful cold, left me exhausted by the time it was time to hit up the clubs. The first night, I sucked it up and was ready to hit up LAX, but our plans got thrown off track due to black shoes and a creepy cab driver. That story deserves it’s own entry though, TRUST ME. It’s coming though. The next two nights, I just couldn’t do it. My face was a bright shade of red, my eyes hurt like hell, runny nose and scratchy throat. My head weighed a million pounds and every time I ate, I felt like I was going to be sick. That’s what happens when you go from eating practically nothing, so you, yourself, don’t weigh a million pounds to eating a bunch of heavy food all day. Not smart. Anyway, point is — I was out by 10 every night. I couldn’t help it. I was exhausted. That did not stop me from making the most of the time I was up and about though! I will write more about that later though. Let’s just take it slow!

I didn’t take as many pictures as I would have liked. Also, when you take out the pictures that actually show my face, you don’t have much. I can’t find my camera cord so the cute, cuddly tigers and other pictures will have to wait until next time.

Since I have no camera, you get the couple pictures the boyfriend took with the iPhone!

That’s our little hotel peeking out in the back, you know with the huge Statue of Liberty and giant roller coaster. The New York New York was a great place to stay for my first trip to Las Vegas.

Here’s the limo that picked us up from the airport. It’s lime green. Okay, it really didn’t, but how amazing would it be if it did?!

Just another view from the strip.

Night time.

A sneak peak of my sicky ass playing the penny slots. Isn’t my tousled hair and ear lovely?

So that is another chapter (part one is here)in my Vegas vacation. More is definitely to come!

That iPhone takes awesome pictures!

Hey, that iphone takes pretty good pics! Just another reason I need one, i suppose

Sorry you were sick-o in Vegas, but hopefully you were at least able to shop?!?! I’m going there in March – my first Vegas trip ever!

I’m so getting an iPhone in like a month. These pictures make me feel even more positively about it, haha.

The being suck must have sucked, but it sounds like you still had some fun! I’m planning a trip to Vegas in the spring (April maybe?) if you want to try it again!

Oh man, being sick on vacation is the worst. I’m glad to hear you guys still managed to have an awesome time! I think the boy and I might go out to Vegas sometime this spring too, but we’ll see what happens. You have totally inspired me to want to go there!

PS
iPhones are incredible. I don’t know how I ever lived without mine.

I’m glad you were still able to enjoy some Vegas aspects even though you got hit by the Christmas Curse.

I’m so sorry you were sick, but hope you had a great time in Vegas anyway!

Also, I want a lime green limo.

I love penny slots! Then I don’t feel guilty when I inevitably lose my money And that really stinks that you were sick on your fabulous vacation. That should be against the rules!

yuck the christmas curse sounds horrible! you’ll have to find a way to break it next year.

I heart vegas! I wish you felt better to enjoy it to the fullest!

This is an important follow up question: HOW DO YOU TEXT ON THE iPHONE? I’m dying to know. It’s the only thing that’s keeping me from switching to AT&T in May and getting one.

I concur w/Nicole. As SOON as my stupid contract is up with sprint, I’m getting an iPhone

Is that an Alien vs. Predator slot machine? Genius.

My flights to and from L.A. at Christmas connected in Vegas, and it was FREEZING there at night. Brr. Of course, I am a wussy Floridian/Californian, so what do I know.

Oh Vegas! I have yet to go as a 21 year old (well, Im 22) even tho its only a 4 hour drive. Sorry you were sick. One thing about Vegas tho is that it never changes so all that fun will still be there on your next trip!

wow..I’m so jealous of your Vegas trips even though I hate gambling. I can’t wait to hear about the creepy cab driver.. looking forward to it.

Awww sorry you were sick! My sis has the Christmas curse too…seriously sucks.

Glad you still managed to have some fun

Those are great pics from the iPhone! Duuuude, Vegas…ugh, I hate that place.

That lime green limo is absolutely fantastic!

Sorry to hear that you weren’t feeling so hot — getting sick on a trip is the worst.

Waiting on that creepy cab driver story…

Aw that’s too bad you were so sick, at least you still had a great time.

And I love that lime green limo. It is truly awesome.

Dude are you so lucky, if they catch you taking pictures in a casino they will kick your ass! At least at some casinos, maybe not all? Good thing you didn’t get caught!

that green limo is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

awww i’m sorry you were sick during vaca! I always seem to have a head cold on Christmas eve too. its weird!

I totally have the Christmas Curse AND the Birthday Curse!

Sorry you were sick and weren’t able to fully enjoy your vacation. Next time, right?

Also, the iPhone takes pretty darn good pictures – I’m impressed!

I love that limo!

Too bad that you were sick…I have never really enjoyed Vegas as I had a lame trip there too! I guess that just means we have to go again!

Tiff – I’ll have the boy comment and answer. He can tell you better than I can!

Ugh. I know the Christmas curse far too well. That is such a drag! I’m glad you made the best of it anyways!

That sucks that you were sick! My entire family got the Noro virus this Christmas, so I can feel your pain!

Love the pics, bugger about the cold though!
