Nice pic, did you ever replace that dropped A40?

So how much did you win/lose in Vegas?
I was up $350+, then spent $120 on dinner at Red Square (saw the lead singer of Goo Goo Dolls there) and another $150+ (lost count?!) at this money pit!

So in the end I covered most expenses with my winnings and broke even I guess. Some of my friends were a bit more lucky

BTW...I still have the A40 but I took the S230 to Vegas...

only a topless bar?! dude, why didnt u go a full nude one?!


I'm all the way up here in Canada, and have never been to Vegas, but i know about Cheetah.

details?!

Not much details... just that when i hear people that go to Vegas (such as Comdex), they always mention stopping at Cheetah.... and i believe the movie Showgirls used Cheetah as well.

I was there last year with my bro's. We went to Spearmint Rhino as well, fun time there hehe. One girl was whacked out there, don't know if you ran into her. But there is no comparable night life in the world to Vegas.

As you can tell, I won BIG in Vegas ;)

Seriously though, the trip was a blast. I've put a few pics up in this thread...but there's too many and some have not been *approved* for release by some of my friends doing sick, twisted and illegal things on camera (hell some of them are perma-ban offenses if they get posted! Lets just say the S230's small size came in handy!!!)

I was up a bit but in the end I broke even. Some of my enviable friends were up a G at least.

sounds like you had a ton of fun! :Q

Which girl were you talking about? It could be most of them cuz no matter how polite you are in declining a dance they still get pissed. I did have a really nice (honestly innocent) 15-20 minute conversation with a really cool Russian girl who just moved here 2 years ago.

It started with a C, calypso,callisto or something similar. Most girls were nice to me when I said I met my rather expensive quota for the night.

Well it's a strip club in Vegas. That one, along with Olympic Garden are my two favorites in Vegas. Um, I'm not really sure what extra info you're looking for. :)

Its definately a HOT deal! ;) The girls there drink, so all you gotta do is find one with glazed-over eyes and yes she WILL do anything in the VIP room...as long as you can find a dark spot away from the prying eyes of management.

Edit: BTW I was greatly disappointed in the weather for mid-april. It was a good 20 degrees cooler than I thought it was going to be.
Glad to see you had fun as well! Funny story: Friday night we WERE going to go to Spearmint Rhino...and then we found a limo who'd take us to Cheetah or Jaguar for free (he gets a kickback or something.) I heard Spearmint is probably the best club in town, though Cheetah was more than adequate ;).

We were also going to go to Rain Thursday night but we were late getting out, and the line was a mile long (how did you get in the VIP line???) We ended up going to Ra in Luxor instead...where I met this HOTTIE GODDESS from New Zealand (her accent just melted me!) Too bad she was with her fiance :disgust:

I actually didn't mind the weather...it was refreshingly cool but not chilly...

We went to Rain with my friend and his brother. His brother lives in Vegas and he knows people. He managed to get us in VIP style. Note that there isnt a "VIP line". And no we did not get VIP treatment inside.:p Only got it to skip the line and not pay a cover. It was quite nice not having to stand in line for hours. What time did you get there?

As to the weather....I am from SoCal, and yes I am spoiled when it comes to weather. I thought Vegas (at this time of year) would be warmer than where I live, only it was about 10 degrees cooler than where I live. Its ok though because I was inside most of the time.

I was there two weeks ago (for the NAB).
Didn't go to the rain and the cheeta but went VIP-style to the HB club on top of the Mandaley Bay hotel.
(I guess it pays off if you are 1 out of 3 guys that go to a club with 20+ hotties).
This dude which we met there (probably some asian mob boss) got us the stretched Hummer-limo for free and into the club without cover/wiating in line. Very nice.

Otherwise I was down $50 gambling wise and I spend a lot more on food and other stuff ($300+).

The coolest thing was when the Harrahs where we had booked a room was full and we got a huge-@ss suite on the top floor overlooking the strip instead. One third of the windows on that floor belonged to our suite. The suite was sweet!
