vegas weekend wishlist.

June 1st, 2009 at 12:18 pm. Posted in Just Rachel.

So, VEGAS (!!!!) is this weekend.   We started planning this whole weekend in APRIL, so the excitement has definitely built up.  I’ve been thinking a lot about things I want to do while we’re there, but honestly?  I don’t want to move from the pool until it’s dark out.  It’s supposed to be 90 degrees when we get there on friday and I couldn’t be more excited to just be somewhere warm and sunshiney.

For those of you that don’t already know, Lily and I are flying into beautiful southern California on Thursday evening (after a brief rendezvous in Phoenix where I will be waiting with open arms and shots and then followed by video blogs. you should be excited) where Nicole is picking us up.  Then? Pre Vegas slumber party.  Then?  VEGAS ROADTRIP.  God, I love it.

Anyway.  Here’s the thing.  There are a few things I want to do in Vegas.  I’ve been there once, but it was only for a day and well, I’d like to replace it with some happier memories, such as:

I want to get my picture taken under the Vegas sign.

I want to go to the Neon Museum.

I want to spend money frivolously on at least one thing I don’t need to have / do.

I want to drink an entire three foot margagrita.

I want to lay by the pool all day.

I want to make AMAZING friends with every single person on this trip.

I want to make out with ONE random guy. (Just one.  Really.  It’s Vegas).

I want to NOT get completely trashed and let a hangover ruin my trip.

I want to go to the top of the Stratosphere.

I can’t wait to do Cirque with everyone. :)

I want to get some ridiculous spa treatment.

I want to go to dinner with everyone.

If you’re coming to Vegas, what are you gonna help me cross off my list!?

Have you been to Vegas?  Suggestions!? FOUR DAYS!!!

I think you’ve pretty much hit every high point I want to experience. Minus the three-foot tall margarita. Because I’d be drunk for the rest of the trip…

I want LOTS of awesome photos, also to make out with at LEAST one cute guy (hey, I’m single right now for a reason, right?), I want umbrella drinks, and to talk/listen my mouth/ears off with all of the awesome folks going.

Can NOT WAIT.

Lily said... Jun 1, 2009 @ 2:16 pm

OH. And can’t wait for that PHX+Vlog+SlumberParty+Road trip too! :)

You might be surprised at how easy it is to drink an entire three foot margarita while in Vegas. Also, I think they put crack in them. Be warned. Once you have one, you might just have to have two or three more.

Ahhh! I am *so* jealous but mostly excited for you that you get to fly into SoCal and make the road trip to Vegas. It was one of my favorite drives, EVER. Get ready for being stuck in traffic (which somehow I wouldn’t mind doing right now) with beautiful scenery. Can’t wait to see all of your updates!!

I totally support making out with a random guy in Vegas. I did it for 4 years of college after all..

I want to do EVERYTHING on that list! haha Would it be stalkerish if I just followed you around? (Not when the making out with random guys is happening though…that might be creepy….)

Also, did you guys already get tickets to Cirque? I feel like I’ve missed the boat on something.

Ah yes, the random makeout. I’ll document that via video for you if you want, haha :)

Have an awesome time in Las Vegas!! I’m going with my friends later in July (roadtripping too from Phoenix) and think just going for the weekend is more than enough. :)

Steph said... Jun 3, 2009 @ 11:45 pm

I am totally drinking a 3 foot margarita! That is (sadly) at the top of my list. I never ended up getting one this past weekend. So FOR SURE we are getting one this weekend. Can we say photo op?
