This was my first trip to Vegas and it was definitely everything I had imagined.

We arrived at the airport a little before 3 on Friday, picked up our luggage and headed over to the Hard Rock. We checked in and unfortunately they didn't have any rooms with two beds available, so they brought a rollaway bed in (My buddy was nice enough to take that and let me have the king). We then chilled for a little bit in our room and then ate at Mr. Lucky's 24/7 (First of about 6 trips there haha) in the HRH. We then headed over to the liquor store and came back and watched Lakers/Thunder in the sports book (Put down $100 on Lakeshow and they only won by 1 pt, spread was 1.5). We then headed over to the Palms (Had the all access wristbands). We met these girls from LA that were 30 (30 on the west coast isn't 30 on the east coast lol, looked younger) and we're dancin with them most of the night. The scary thing is my buddy and I don't remember how we got back to the hotel (I woke up with all my clothes and shoes still on).

Saturday we headed over to Tao Beach around 11 and had a daybed near the bar (Lot of action around us, would definitely reccommend the spot). Had a lovely waitress, Sandra, who took care of us. DJ Clue was spinning and Jamie Foxx, Dwight Freeney, Kwame Brown, comedian Donnell Rawlings, and former host of 106 and Park Big Tigger were all there. Stayed there until 6 and rushed back over to HRH to get ready for the fight. Got a shower and dressed and headed over to MGM Grand around 7. Went to the willcall to pick up my ticket and saw Andre Iguodala, Monta Ellis, Andre Berto, Jalen Rose, Jake Long, Brady Quinn. I have to say I was nervous after round 2 but Floyd proved me wrong. Unfortunately, my buddy didn't want to go out after the fight, so we called it a night and got some sleep for Rehab.

Sunday we got in line at Rehab around 10 and only took about a half hour to get inside. I wasn't aware of this but I had to pay $100 to get in because my room rate didn't average out to $150 a night, which is what you need to get into Rehab for free. Once we get in, I'm freezing my ass off, but fortunately the wind died down as the day went on. Watched the Lakers/Jazz game while downing rum and cokes. Jamie Foxx was making it rain dollar bills, pouring drinks in girls mouths and spraying champagne all over the place. DJ Clue, Chris Brown, Timbaland, Too Short, Ray J, Andre Berto, Antonio Tarver, Rashaad McCants were just some of the celebs in attendance. Got my pic w/ heavyweight boxer Chris Arreola and Joakim Noah. Headed back to the room around 7 and got ready for Vanity. Had to wait for about an hour to get in but it was worth the wait. Saw Ricky Hatton in one of the corner booths. Headed back to the room to sleep for a few hours to sleep and then headed over to McCarran at 6 and landed in Philly a little before 3 (I think I need to move out west, not a fan of the five hour flight).

WTF???? We need more details on how that worked out, because weve already had some peeps pay $50 a night or less, and I believe they received free entry into rehab. :confused:

I giggled when I saw this too and thought that they just made this rule as a direct rebuttal of getting ass raped on twitter tuesday so its their "get even" tactic, not that I give two shits cause they couldnt pay my ass to go there on Sunday

I was there that same weekend. I heard someone mention that they were told if they lost their wristbands, they'd have to pay $100 to get new ones. This is a vague memory, so I'm not sure what the exact scenario was. However, I was told if you're staying there that Sunday night, you get into Rehab free. No mention of room rate or anything.

Hard Rock is going to set the Casino Tower and Paradise Towers on fire while we are there.

I booked mine through Expedia, booked it real cheap a week or two after the fight was set. Maybe that had something to do with it (Again, it was first time in LV, so I was clueless as to why I was forced to pay 100, when the only reason I booked the room at the HRH was because I've heard Rehab was free for guests :mad:)?.

Again, I would just like to point out it was a fight weekend. Like with the clubs, anytime there is a big event going on, usual rates and discounts are severely changed. I bet had it not been the fight weekend there would have not been any problems.

That fucking sucks though, having your heart set on not paying for Rehab and then get stuck having to anyway because of the fight. Never doing Vegas on major holidays or event weekends ever. Seems to almost ruin the fun sometimes.
