TR- 21st birthday

June 29- July 2 at the Venetian in the Venezia tower- 6 rooms total. I took my parents and future in-laws (both in their 50%26#39;s), boyfriend (26), brother and his wife (27 %26amp; 23, and mine and my b/f%26#39;s friends (19-24). Everyone had fun despite the age differences. I read on the internet (since I never really drank before this vacation other than a few beers) that to increase my tolerance I needed to drink a substantial amount. So I did, for an entire 2 weeks before LV. It worked.

6/29- We left Orange County at about 8pm and got to LV at around 12:30am. We checked into the Super 8 and took a cab to the strip. Our cab driver was a little scary. He decided to race another cab and drop his powdered donuts (which I never saw, he was just trying to grab my friend in the front seat). I didn%26#39;t get carded once (boo) but I flaunted that it was my 21st birthday. Of course it%26#39;s LV and no one believed me. Once they saw my ID I%26#39;d get a free beer or shot :) We went to Margaritaville for about 30 minutes, it wasn%26#39;t fun. Then went with the b/f%26#39;s best friend to watch him gamble so I could learn. After that we just walked the strip in a drunken haze and met a 10 foot hooker. She had a cute friend. I thought she was just a really pretty girl. I called her over and asked her if she thought my friend was hot. She said he was but that she was a hooker. I didn%26#39;t expect her to be that forward. It%26#39;s okay though, her and her 10 foot friend found some guy. They came back 10 minutes later and I asked the guy how it was. He said he didn%26#39;t feel comfortable taking them to the room. So he asked if I%26#39;d go back with him. I grabbed my 2 for 1 beers and ran. We went to Hooters at about 5am and got some yummy wings. Passed out for 4 hours.

6/30- Everyone else arrived and we switched over to the Venetian. Dad gave me 100 dollars and I gambled with him and my brother. The chocolates at turn down were in fact yummy and I stole my boyfriends off of his bed. We went for dinner at Pampas and all 14 of us loved it. My Dad who is relatively shy got up and said a few words and thanked everyone for coming out, so sweet. Beer and steak in the tummy- ready to party. We head back to the hotel and change then meet Bo Karlin (www.botown.com) in front of Tao. We hand him 100 dollars and he gets us into the club. That was definitely a blessing since the line was a mile long and it was 1 girl and 6 guys. Went inside, danced on stage, spent 500 dollars on alcohol, got claustrophobic and left. Tao isn%26#39;t fun. More drinking and strip roaming.

7/1- Went to Sluts-r-fun. I mean slots-a-fun. gambled. drank. gambled. drank. Had dinner at Tao which was so-so. I%26#39;m pretty easy to please with food but Tao just didn%26#39;t do it. I prefer a big piece of steak over mediocre expensive sushi any day. The only good part of dinner was getting hysterical drunk text messages from my mom who drank a little too much at Celine Dion and was too plastered to use her room key so she had to ask for help. Went out front and met our limo driver who took us to Olympic Gardens- 1 girl (me) and 6 guys. We got escorted to a reserved table and drank 150 dollars worth of free alcohol. Bought the boyfriend a lap dance from a 12/10 girlie. Moved up to the stage seating and threw dollars at pretty girls. Had the boys stuff dollars down my shirt and the strippers kissed my rack? (TA doesn%26#39;t allow that one word). One bit my *insert that word*. A friend bought me a dance from a really pretty girl. I was nervous having never been given a lap dance before so I handed her off to the boyfriend. We left at closing and gambled at Hooters and ate more chicken wings. I fell asleep on some chairs in Hooters at about 5am so we went back.

7/2- Woke-up, gave guest services our bags. Drank and gambled at Slots-a-fun. Rushed back to the hotel so two friends wouldn%26#39;t miss their 6:15 flight. Friend went inside to ';cash in his chips'; and we stood outside for 30 minutes while he was accidentally magnetically drawn to the tables. Then we drove home and planned our next trip. We leave in 1 month! and again in a few months for SEMA since we%26#39;re all car addicts :)

I%26#39;ve had about 10 hours of sleep in the last few days and we all had far too much alcohol and are still no functioning correctly. We had a blast though and cannot wait to go back. LV is definitely the perfect place to go for a 21st birthday and I now understand exactly why LV isn%26#39;t for kids.

Thanks for all the advice! I had a great time and a fantastic 21st despite not getting carded.

TR- 21st birthday

Wow! Sounds like you had a blast! Thanks for the report %26amp;

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TR- 21st birthday

Sounds like a great 21st birthday! How nice that you could have your family and friends there to celebrate with you.

Sorry you weren%26#39;t carded. I never was, I always looked older than I was. I now beg people to card me.

Did you win any money?

Sounds like you need some rest, although at 21 you recover more quickly than us who are a little older than you. lol

Thanks for taking the time to write your trip report! How great that you already have two more trips planned!

I read on the internet (since I never really drank before this vacation other than a few beers) that to increase my tolerance I needed to drink a substantial amount.

It%26#39;s okay though, her and her 10 foot friend found some guy.

lol, see what excess alcohol will do?

Too funny.... Vegas is a great place to drink, because you don%26#39;t have to drive anywhere.

Glad you had a good time, and with your family, too.

Thaks for the TR and Happy Birthday!
