i cant believe my vacation is almost over! vegas was cool, each day was eventful and the time didnt go by too fast...
on thursday monica and i went to our spa appt at the canyon ranch spa at the venetian...it was weird at first seeing all the half naked-naked people walking around like nothing, but the massage was relaxing....then we went to the bellagio buffet, was pretty good but overpriced i think for lunch....then we went to the wynn with korinne n cory its a nice hotel but i dont think we got to explore all of it tho....then we went outlet shopping got a new eddie bauer backpack...then we went to cheesecake with kuya arby...yummy! we were still feeling the buffet, so when we ate, there was major bloated stomachs...too much food! then we went to pick up len at the airport yay!!!!
on friday we had a yummy breakfast by kuya arby and then kuya arby, len and i went to sema....my mission was so get cool free stuff and get model posters for cj and rich....after that we ate at thai bbq....free refills on thai iced tea!!! then we went to the secret garden at the mirage...we saw dolphins, lions, tigers, panthers, and llamas...it was cool! len also got me another rainbow art for my name, i wanted all dolphins but i guess the lady forgot that i told her so i only have the last two letters with dolphins....=( but it still turned out good! and she gave us a free picture since we bought from her...again i took sooo many pics of the animals hope they come out ok...then we ate at the palms buffet 16.99 for prime rib n crab nite! wata deal!!!the prime rib was awesome! after that we went to play bingo at suncoast with monica, kuya av, korinne, cory and rich....i lost money that nite, but got a lil back at roulette later that nite
on saturday we went to visit the family and kuya av and monica took us to get our rental car....they were leaving already=(..... our afternoon was pretty open, so len and i went to the strip...len also wanted to get a massage, so we called to see if there were any other appts open that day....the traffic was sooo bad on the strip! we parked at aladdin and walked to venetian....hehe it looks so much closer on the map! we were tired and got to the spa and had a couple massage...it was pretty cool! last time i got a head neck n shoulder massage and this time len and i both got the swedish massage....i liked both...but the first one i think was more concentrated on my tense areas, and the second one was just more relaxing......im glad len really liked it...esp since his knots were gone and the pain in his calf that hed been complaining about was gone =).....then we took the monorail to paris and went back to aladdin....i wanted to eat at the cheeseburger brand place and i wanted len to try it too...he really liked the atmosphere and the food ! for the first time he actually wanted to get dessert (its usually me that always wants to get it) after seeing the mudd pie....everything was really good =).....after that we went to get our stuff at kuya arby's and went to uncle mon's house...
on sunday, we chilled around uncle mon's house in our pj's watching tv and then we went to visit more family ....we ate a quick lunch and headed to rio see if we could meet up with his friends/family...they were in the buffet, so while waiting len and i tried the oxygen bar....it was cool but weird having stuff coming into ur nose like that....felt so relaxed after hehe...we said hi to everyone really quickly and headed over to venetian to check in with rich.....the venezia tower is the new tower and they have their own seperate lobby..its beautiful!!! the room was awesome too! rich was hungry and he wanted to order room service, so we all did and we were all excited watching the guy set up everything...pretty gourmet looking for hamburgers!!! rich didnt feel well so we took him back to his car...later we gambled at the venetian....craps was good for len and all the other tables were bad for me...the minimums are so high over there! i ended up losing even more that nite....but at least len came up from friday
on monday we went to the wynn buffet...len had already gone to their brunch and said it was the bomb! but since we got there on a monday, it was the regular lunch buffet...the buffet was so colorful! it looked so diff from the rest of the hotel....then i asked len to play my last 3o dollars on craps and was able to win back all the money i had lost....well most of it hehe! then after that we went to chill at the famila's pad til it was time to go to the airport =( len had to go to work on tues....after the airport i ran some errands with my uncle and we went to silverton casino with auntie alice and lola....there craps didnt like me, but black jack sure did for a lil while!...i won some more of my money back....i also played some video poker and i was actually getting credits...usuallly i never get anything from those, but i came up and then ended up playing all the credits...
on tuesday...i slept so long! did some errands and then chilled til i had to go to the airport....i didnt want to leave i couldnt believe that my vacation was almost over! then today i really didnt do anything...tomorrow and friday got a whole bunch of stuff to do....
but i found out that i got into the med tech program yay!!! more school and commuting for me hehe! i have to visit the campus tomorrow to talk to a counselor...so hopefully that all goes smoothly and with not alot of traffic =)
