Alright im gonna get right to it. It's Tuesday and i still feel like shit, haha. Vegas was a hell of a time. It was especially good because all the guys who i went with (who had never been before) had an absolutely amazing time. They were wide-eyed the entire time with all the clubs and the hotels. I got a chance to meet up with a bunch of the guys out there but due to some conflicting reservations i couldnt make it out to everything. But more on all that below.

Thursday 9/3 - I worked all day and went straight to the airport at 2 PM. My flight was scheduled to leave at 3:55. Meet up with my buddy Ernesto and slammed 2 beers in the airport then boarded the plane. The plane pulls out of the gate and then we hear on the loud speaker that theres lightening in the area and were gonna have to wait on the ground. Now if im delayed thats one thing, but i hate being stuck on the runway more than anything. We were sitting there for an hour and a half before we finally took off. Once we took off we were all smiles on the way to Vegas. A few drinks more on the plane and a trip that felt like FOREVER, we finally touched down at Macarren at around 7 PM Vegas time. We head straight to the hotel and as we walk in we see the rest of the bachelor party (who had gotten to Vegas at 11 AM) sitting at the blackjack tables. This one guy Will (who i hadnt met before) was trashed out of his mind by the time we get there and introduced himself to me about 20 times. We rounded everyone up and i headed to the desk to check in. slipped the $20 sandwich and got put on the 31st floor in the 2 bedroom grand suite with a direct view of the strip. It was a great room and surprisingly slept 9 people very easily. We made some more drinks and decided we would try to go to Tryst that night. I text Patrick Frank and he told me, no problem, text me when you get here and ill slide you guys past the line.

As we were getting ready i get a call from my wife who is at home with my 3 month old son. Basically to make a long story short my son was having some stomach issues and had been screaming at the top of his lungs for the past 3 or 4 days as he was trying to get through it. Since my wife was the only one home she was at her wits end and was losing it after being with him all day alone. So we ended up in a big fight which pretty much put a damper on everything. I was more worried about my son for the remainder of the night and i knew i couldnt be in a place where i wouldnt be able to hear my phone if something happened. So we all decided to stick around the Palms center bar and gamble for the night. The guys were fine with that and i knew its what i had to do. Had a good time and i ended up going to bed about 2 AM just cause i was exhausted from everything and the time difference. Got a bunch of text messages from Cisco that he was at Drais and wanted me to come meet up but i was already passed out.

Friday 9/4 - Friday we woke up and hit up the breakfast buffet. Down a bunch of water and serious amounts of pancakes and then went upstairs and got changed for the pool. Headed down to Ditch at about 10:30 and rounded up 8 chairs. Things were already packed but we held them down and the rest of the guys came down. Get a call about 11 from Cisco who is waiting outside so i take a room key out to him so he can get in. He get banded, has a drink, then goes to get some food before the all day drinking. At about 11:30 Nas and DNix get to the front and i go out to meet them. We all get into Ditch and show them the chairs so eveyrone can park all their stuff. Everyone heads to the bar and proceeds to just order tons of drinks. Had a great time hanging with Cisco, Nassau, and DNix as we pretty much just drank all day. Met some girls from London, met some Hawaiian Tropic girls who wanted to come out with us on Saturday night. All in all had a good drunken time.

At about 4 PM We told them all we would see them later because we were all starving. We hopped in a limo to in-n-out burger. I have been craving it for so long and it was finally here! All the guys have never had it anymore so they all ordered double double animal style's and were in heaven. I had some animal style fries and that just topped it off. Headed back to the Palms, made another liquor run (by the way the 10% at gold coast worked great) and went up to the room. Made drinks and partied until the entertainment came at 9. Fast forward to 11 PM and we were drunk and ready to head out. We went down stairs, had a few more drinks at the center bar and then headed up to Moon. I was so drunk by this point i honestly dont remember where we meet up with Nassau, DNix, Cisco, and KC, but we did somewhere and hung out with them most of the night. Good music in Moon. We were partyin and taking shots. Chillin outside and catching the view of the strip then went down to Rain. Rain was crazy that night. Tons of people and everyone just having a great time. It was sad DJ AM wasnt there, but they replaced him with DJ Jazzy Jeff for that night which i loved. I always like him back from the Fresh Prince days. Music was great and apparently i was dancing my ass off. I dont remember any of that. I have faint memories of DNix at the bar outside by the pool, some small memory of a limo afterwards, and then a 5 second memory of my buddy force feeding me McDonalds double cheeseburgers at like 6 AM. I dont remember going to sleep.

Saturday 9/5 - Woke up and felt like i got hit by a truck. There was only 1 thing that was going to make me feel better... The spa.

***Side note. Big cheers to Patrick. When he stayed in Palms Place a few weeks ago he had 2 comp passes to Drift the spa in Palms Place. He sent them to me air mail from Germany, but they didnt get there in time so he faxed me all the info and his bill and everything and i was able to have the Palms reissue them to me. Thanks so much man, it was great***

So I have 2 free passes to Drift so i go with my buddy Chris (the bachelor) and we both head over there. Sit in the steam room for 20 mins. Then hit up the ice bath for 20 mins. Then the jacuzzi for 20 mins. Then back to the ice bath for another 20. Then the sauna for 20 mins. It worked great. I felt so much better. Afterward we hit up the coed Turkish Bath and chilled in there for a bit, then went and sat in the lounge and had some fruit and water and juice while watching some college football. Then took showers and headed out. I would not have survived on Saturday without the spa, but i felt like a million bucks. Well, maybe not a million, but like 900,000. Went and got some breakfast and got a text from Nassau saying they were at Wet Republic and to come on out and meet them. I tried to rally the troops but since it was their first time in Vegas they wanted to do the touristy BS and see all the hotels, so i kinda had to go with them and do that. Sorry Nas, i really wish i could have met up with you guys. So we headed to the hotels and checked them out and did some shopping in the forum shops and Venetian. Rode the NY/NY roller coaster, watched the Bellagio Fountains and took soem pictures, all that BS.

After we went back to the hotel and watched some more football and got ready for dinner. We rounded everyone up and headed to the Mirage where we were eating at Samba, which is Brazilian steakhouse. Got some drinks and it was very good. We had some time to kill before our table reservation at Wasted Space so i walked over to JET and texted Dave Roberts. We initially had a table reservation with him for Thursday night but we had to cancel it, so i wanted to at least apologize to him in person. Met up with him and he couldnt have been a nicer and more accommodating guy. He asked us if we wanted buy 2 get 1 free bottles that night and i told him we had prior plans, but he said if you need anywhere to go after to call him. Great guy. We head over to the Hard Rock and the place was INSANE. Ive never seen so many people packed into that hotel, just hot girls EVERYWHERE. We head to the bar and get some drinks and then i go play some blackjack to kill some time. After a while of all of us having fun i texted Cory at Wasted Space.

Now i was a little hesitant because i had set up everything with Chad Dallas, but since he left he said Cory would take good care of me. I met up with Cory and he couldnt have been a nicer guy. Had us set up at a great table right next to the girls from Sunset Tan who were coming in that night. We got our bottles of Goose and Jack and partied away. Wasted Space was a great change of pace. The music was AWESOME, but i love the rock mash up stuff so it really was nice to hear some different music, the DJ was just great. Met a lot of people, and people from our group ended up grinding up on one of the Sunset Tan girls moms. They all loved it and were laughing their ass off. Took some video but it was so dark in there you really couldnt see anything. At about 3:30 I had to leave because i had a flight at 6:30. Everyone else decided to close out and come with us back to the Palms. The taxi line was insane and as we were waiting my buddy Matt was so tanked that he decided to try and pee on the side of the wall right by the taxi line. We were all freaking out trying to stop him because we didnt want him to get arrested. He finally stopped and we got in a cab and were on our way. Our buddy in the front seat was spilling beer all over the cab and the driver was getting pissed, then when we got to the light to turn into the Palms my buddy Matt started to do the dry heaving. We were like "Oh hell no". We looked at the crosswalk count down and said "you have 10 seconds to get the hell out of this car" So he opened the door and stumbled across 5 lanes of traffic on Flamingo and fell in the buses on the side of the street throwing up everywhere. He walked back to the Palms and we were all laughing our ass off at him. We get back to the room, i pack and get ready, and the drunk ass Matt decides he wants to wrestle everyone shirtless. This ended up being freaking hilarious and i got it all on video.

After all of that me and Ernesto get in the cab and head for the airport. It was sad to leave when everyone was still partying that night, but we had to get there. I needed to be back in Miami to get my son. The airport was a breeze and my upgrades went through for first (thank god). I got some breakfast so i could have something in my stomach. Got on the plane and Jermaine Dupri comes strolling on with 3 guys carrying his bags. He sits in the row across from me and passes out. Then this girl sits down next to me and we were talking for a bit. Turns out she was a playboy playmate, who was also afraid of flying. She tells me she needs to hold my hand on take off because if she doesnt she will freak out. We take off, get in the air, i calm her down and then pass out for about an hour at a time. I finally landed and went and got my son and went home. It was a great weekend.

Im just glad i at least got to see the guys from JC. Im sortry i couldnt make it out on Saturday, but Friday was a great day and all my guys had fun with all of you. Im sure theres tons of funny things i forgot to put in this report but ill post them as they come back to me. Ill try and post some pictures and video soon.

Now the wait for May begins....

RNJ, I was going to do it Thursday night. We went up to Ghost Bar but they had the DJ set up outside on the balcony so i couldnt get to a good place to do it. I was also in a horrible mood Thursday night so to tell you the truth i forgot. I should have done it on Friday but i probably would have thrown the Splenda in someones face instead of up in the air i was so messed up.

Ill get it next time with pictures.

haha reminds me of that scene from Eastern Promises... :p


Went and got some breakfast and got a text from Nassau saying they were at Wet Republic and to come on out and meet them.

Dude I m sorry too! I missed Dnix's texts because I had textin turned off. Wet was so sick on Sunday...

Wasted Space was a great change of pace. The music was AWESOME, but i love the rock mash up stuff so it really was nice to hear some different music, the DJ was just great.

Ive never been a big fan of House music. We have a lot of it down here so ive been exposed to it, just was never a fan. I grew up on booty music here on the beach, like Uncle Luke, 95 South, and Tag Team. But honestly after 4 or 5 drinks the music doesnt really matter anymore, we just had fun where ever we went. Ill post my videos when i get home later today. I gotta figure out how to do it all. I cant wait to see everyone elses videos from Friday. I have no idea whats on there, haha.

By the way, is this considered a wangfest? lol
