Las Vegas Day 2

We've heard that the shopping was good, so it was time to find out for ourselves. We woke up and got ready and headed out. Our initial plan was to walk north on the strip and see some hotels and when we got tired, we would get a cab to bring us to the Outlet Mall. We passed all the hotels that you see in the brochures but my mind was on The Venetian. When Leesh and I were looking for places to get married, this was one of the places on my list. Too bad our budget didn't allow for it but it was a beautiful hotel. One of the main reasons for going here to was to do the gondola ride that I've been reading in reviews. I have always wanted to do this and after much debate and discussion, I decided not to do it since it was fuckin $15.oo per person for 10 minutes AND you didn't even get the boat to yourself. So I said forget it and off we went to Treasure Island.

When we got to Treasure Island we just walked around the casino floor and took a pic of the Sirenis Ship. That was it LOL!..I think our minds were on shopping so much I was anxious to get there. There was a bar that I wanted to go to though, I think it was call Social House or something like that. I liked how the set up looked during the day so I could imagine that it would look nice at night. So after going through the hotel, off north we went again this time passing The Fashion Show Mall. Our original plan was to go to this mall on Saturday while we killed time before our flight, but as you will read in later posts, that never happened =).

Once we passed the fashion show mall, stupid us just kept on walking even though there was NOTHING to see after that. We passed the Fronteir sign and really, that was it. We ended up walking to the Riviera and saw there were no cabs and finally crossed the street and got one at Circus Circus. This was a LONG ASS WALK folks. 4km to be exact in fuckin desert heat!! We didn't even check how long it took us to walk this. It's a good thing we didn't, otherwise we would've been cranky. Keep in mind we did this without eating ANYTHING! Were so smart huh!

We got a cab at Circus Circus and this is where everything gets interesting. We got picked up by this creepy looking guy, you know the stereo typical serial killer look, big guy, baseball hat, thick glasses, etc. As soon as we got to the cab, this guy just started to talk up a storm. Basically all bullshit but the one conversation topic that stuck in my mind was this..

CAB DRIVER: "Yeah so my mom passed away and her wish was for me to come to Vegas and marry an asian girl. So I tried 2 asian girls and it didn't work out so maybe I'll find another one. It was a Korean girl and a Filipino girl...

LEESH: (gets really uncomfortable)
miQ: (Nervous laugh).."Oh really?!?"

CREEP-FUCKING-Y!!! The first thing that came into my mind was, "OH MY GOD, he's going to kill me and take leesh!!" LOL! Anyway that was the weirdest cab ride EVER!

Then we got to the mall. By this point we were hungry, tired and just thirsty. So we ate lunch and after lunch walked around. This was when working for Nike kicked in. Lets just say there was 1 store which I got 50% off the lowest price and 40% off the lowest price in other two stores. WE WENT MADDD!! I don't even remember hitting up other stores. As soon as I knew that they took my employee discount it was over. That was the best shopping experience ever. Leesh even said so. We were so excited about the deals that we called Julie as soon as we got back to the hotel.

When we got back, we also got our room upgraded. So instead of explaining the room, I took a video of the room. Just click play below.




Here are the pics of our view at night. It was just beautiful!Anyway at night we met up with Alysia's mom and we had dinner at the Brew Pub in the Monte Carlo. This was a family dinner before the wedding and had an amazing dinner. Their fish tacos were amazing! Just watch out for the salsa. That shit is HOT!! The rest of the night consisted of the same thing from the night before. Gambling, drinking and just good ole times with Leesh.
