Saturday Morning

So get this: I go to bed at around six. I wake up in the middle of the night (well, morning) to find that Xinlei has moved over to the far side of the bed and is no longer on my pillow so I get under the blanket and go back to sleep. I hear talking at around 9:30am, wake up, can't go back to sleep. Maria, Aaron and Christy were all up at this time. So I got up. Kind of.

April woke up that morning with a really bad hangover so she took a couple of Advil and went back to bed. Steve was still in the fetal position on the air mattress and didn't seem like he wanted to get up.

After we got dressed, Xinlei and I went over to the guys room to see what was up. They were playing cards for shots =P wtf mate. They tried to explain Texas Hold em' to us (well, me) but I didn't get it really...I'm kind of slow like that I suppose.

Anyway, we ended up waiting in the hallway for a while before we decided to go down to the car to wait for all of the guys to leave. April stayed behind in our room and slept. We managed to get Steve up and back into his room, but he just ended up falling asleep again so we just left him there.

The Strip

We went to Aladdin to go get food. I think we were originally planning on eating at a buffet, but I don't think that any of us really felt like eating all that much. Instead we ate at some burger place where the waiters and waitresses wear grass skirts.

We went to go get gelato afterward and spent some time walking around...? Anyway, we walked to Paris after a little bit. Christy bought me a specialty drink. Since I'm a little bit afraid of tequila (even though Xinlei loves it) I got a daquiri and not a margarita. Little did I know that all of the rum had ended up at the bottom of the drink and yeah I drank all of the alcohol at once ;P I was buzzing for the rest of the afternoon.

I think we headed back to Aladdin after that. We passed a bunch of shops and kiosks including this one kiosk that was demonstrating this head massager thing. We all tried it, and Aaron liked it so much that he bought one. What the hell did they call it? Ting ting BJ3000? Okay right anyway.

We drove over to Harrahs so we could go gamble at Casino Royale (I think that's what it was called). I was kind of dazed thanks to the drink and my lack of sleep, so I look pretty out of it in the pictures. Anyway, I somehow managed to turn four quarters into $15 on the slots which was badass.

April and Steve walked over from the hotel and met us at the casino. I was exhausted and so was Christy, so we went to the hotel to nap while the rest of the group went to the Venetian.
