To create your perfect Vegas trip there are some things you MUST do.
One is that you must let @nicoleisbetter plan your activities. She managed to make us VIPs in Vegas.
I can't do that.
I could make you a VIP at Granny's Restaurant on Swift Rd. by speaking a little Greek, but trust me, it's not the same thing.
This awesome work done by @nicoleisbetter resulted in me laying on a bed by the pool (sponsored by @stratejoy), drinking free vodka at our private party at Heart Center Bar in Planet Hollywood, and coming home with 2 new adult toys from @toywithme.
TOTAL AWESOME WIN
Then you have to make your trip short. This may seem like it would create a stressful situation, but what it actually does is force you to make decisions faster & value the time you do get to relax. I found myself many times not being sure about doing something, realizing I had only a few hours to do it & declaring "Screw it. It's Vegas".
This thought process resulted in me drinking mimosas by the pool as I got a foot rub.
RELAXING WIN
Next, take that little box you find yourself stuck in or the label that you are forced to wear in the real world and BURN THAT BITCH. Most of the people on this trip had never met me, this allowed me to make the impression I WANTED to make on this group.
This equation resulted in me taking a "naughty" picture in the pool to win an adult toy & walking down the Las Vegas Strip in my bra & some caution tape.
HAPPY TIME WIN
After all of this get ready to make friends. Seriously. There is nothing like sitting in the sun and discovering some of the most amazing personalities. I loved learning about the anatomy of flamingos with @smalls530, talking about the need for sex toys to prevent lockjaw with @quaterlifelady, getting surprised trust fall/flung into the pool by @livitluvit, discussing Vegas brides with @nicolerelyea, rolling my eyes with @pixie658 at how uncreative drunk guys are on the strip (Seriously, I'm wearing caution tape & band-aids & you can only come up with "What is it, yellow day?")
I also got to dive deeper into a few relationships with bloggers I had met previously. I got to eat cinnamon buns the size of our heads with @katelin, figure out how to break a $100 bill with @laceybean (FLAMINGO! FIRST!) & get wooed by a 4 month old on a plane with @allieo.
This resulted in me having sore abs from laughing so hard.
FRIENDS FOREVS WIN!
The final step is to re-bond with old friends. With my busy schedule I had become an internet ghost. I felt just as new as the new girls and even more lost. I needed to use this trip to pretty much introduce myself to my buddies and basically spend the next 36 hours hugging their faces off!
This resulted in me discussing muff diving food again with @doniree, holding @bayjb's hand while we talked about ANYTHING, and becoming font sisters as I got a tattoo with @freeandflawed.
TOTAL BFFS WIN!
So there you have it. Take this formula add about 2 gallons of booze and you are in for one hell of a Vegas weekend! Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go hide from the real world. If my job calls tell them I decided to stay in Vegas & sell stripper/hooker/granny shoes on the corner....
....topless....
ok, I will be wearing band-aids
maybe

Gah. I cannot wait to go next year.
Font sisters FTW!! Also, we have ZERO pictures together. How did that happen?!
Well, SOMEONE had to get surprise trust falled. <3 <3 <3
The more I hear about this trip, the more jealous I am. And that pool looked awesome!
MEETING YOU = THE BEST EVER THE END THANK YOU AMEN
it was so much fun hanging out with you this weekend. i mean really, who else would have a giant cinnamon roll and drink mimosas and check out guys in pink shorts with me? i mean really! let's do it again sometime okay? :)
Hands down my favorite recap so far in that you pretty much just made me cry in public. I absolutely love and adore you, love seeing you as often as I do (so three times a year?), and can't wait to tear up Chicago again with you. You are gorgeous and hilarious and one of my favorites - LOVED talking muff dives and sex toys with you by the pool, and your tattoo? IS GORGEOUS.
I didn't get to see the tattoo up close and personal - but it looks amazing! Great to meet you, the caution tape is a good look for you
Nice bandaids! I guess it's true - "X" marks the spot ;) I think your new tat is freaking hot! Love the location - superb font.
DC Princess- YOU HAVE TO GO!
Jenn- oh I know, I was scouring over everyone's pic in a desperate hope that we were document some how :(
LiLu- To be honest, I'm glad it was me :)
P- the pool was beyond awesome, it was completely perfect
Nicole- OH I KNOW LOUD VOICES MUCH LOVE!
Katelin- mmmmm pink shorts body mmmmm
Doniree- I love your face & seeing it makes my life that much better. Must see you MORE!
Ask Alice- I think the hubby is torn between being upset that I wore it in public & how hot he thought I looked ;)
toywithme- @freeandflawed picked the font & once I saw her tat I was in LOVES! Thank you sooooo much again for making our trip just THAT much more Vegas!
NICE INK! As you and Jenn are the only ones to get tattoos in Vegas I think that means you technically scored the most points, in a if-Vegas-has-a-scoreboard manner.
"What's wrong with that one? Why does it have two??"
I fell in love with you this weekend, hope that's okay! You made my trip so amazing! From being up with me at 6AM, to begging for the sun to move just slightly to the left. I am coming to Chicago to visit you as soon as possible.
Oh, and we're totally getting married next year!
I love that our hug involved police tap, nipple pasties and guyliner.
The only way it could have been.
Hahahahaha, great recap!
I'm so glad I was able to meet you! And like I said... sorry for all the bandaid-staring. Every time I turned around, it was like a magnet and all I could think was, "oh God. she keeps seeing me look at her boobs." lol
I'm so glad you got to go, and that Vegas was fabulous for you!
Nico- I think you should actually create that scorecard. I would LOVE to see if I powered up. (Alcohol! I chose you! It's super effective.)
Lindsey- High five for early risers! I say we should have a Chicago wedding, Vegas style. We would get married by Harry Carey!
Ben- A Republican earned it's horns by how gay that hug was.
Mrs. Priss- trust me, you weren't the only one ;)
Erin- seriously, you have to go next year. I'll bring an extra roll of police tape.
I hope your tattoo is feeling better! Damn, getting that done and then going on a plane, amazing. And it was great holding your hand. It's like we were on a date...but we weren't.
