The Master in Las Vegas July 2010 Pt. 3

The next day, Wednesday, had me and my friends, Alan and Aisha hitting the pool.
Then, Alan, Wally, and I end up going to the awesome Pinball Museum. This kick ass place, off the strip, had so many cool games! We had tons of fun, and it really didn’t cost much to enjoy.
OK, so you could say I didn’t do much on Wed, and yeah, that would be the truth. But, on Thursday, which was our last full day, and we had to enjoy it. We hit the pool, first.

Then, since Aisha and Alan were going to the MGM Grand for a burlesque show, I texted my friend, who at the time lived in one of the MGM Grand condos, and met up with her, that evening. I told her to pick a place for us to go to, so she picked Rouge. At the time it was a nice quite place with a wonderful atmosphere to have wine at. I really thought she made a great choice. Interestingly enough, when I passed that place in Jan of this year, it was loud and crowded. Not the same feel. Oh well.

After that we played pool at Game Works which is located next to the MGM Grand. It’s a fun place that fellow gamers will totally wanna hit. We then caught a quick bite at Dell Taco. I actually had Dell Taco on Wed, and at that point I had stated that it was better than Taco Bell. Well, that changed when we both got sick from eating there, despite eating different stuff. She had tacos, I had nachos. Cut forward to Jan, when that place is closed down and replaced by a Japanese food place. Well, food poisoning will do that to your shitty food joint, motherfucker.

I actually noticed on my second trip to Vegas that there are many beautiful Asian women that hang or work at the MGM Grand. I feel it is my duty to pass that info to my fellow Asian girl lovers. Also, that first time I didn’t hit the lion’s habitat. I didn’t get to do that when I was out with with my friend, well just cause, butI did in January of this year, and I liked it. Even though the lions didn’t do much, except lie around, but still I’m an animal lover, so I still enjoyed it.

Anyways, back to that Thurs, we said our good-byes and the next day all of us were sad to go back to New York. I honestly love Vegas, and I always think about it all the time. NYC, though, will always be my home, and it will always hold my heart. I am a NYer born and bled, and that will never fucking change. There ain’t a place greater than NYC. But, if I was ever to move and could choose where I move to; I would totally pick Vegas. Can’t wait to go back. And, whether it is business, pleasure, or both, I can assure you that I will.

The Master in Las Vegas July 2010 Pt. 2

Day two had me waking up for some good Harrah’s made breakfast. I just chilled for most of the first half of the day. Two of my friends were going to the Grand Canyon. I, though, had dinner reserved with my friend from Vegas at the Postrio in the Venetian. I wanted to chill and relax so as to not be in a rush to get ready for that night. So, it became my first day at the Harrah’s pool. I listened to some metal and read Rue Morgue, while just chilling. I was so happy at that moment and thoroughly enjoying and relaxing and not dealing with shitty stress, that I even tweeted that at that moment.

Well, when the time came we met up and went to the beautiful Italian restaurant. The Postrio has delicious food, and as she, herself pointed out, great atmosphere. It’s an excellent place for fine dining. I would tell her later (to be more precise on Thurs) that I had done much research before picking it as the place for us to eat at. I should point out that Vegas doesn’t seat you ahead of time. So, get there at the exact moment, unless you don’t mind waiting around. They are VERY punctual, over there.

I guess it goes without saying that you should do some research for, yourself, and part of the reason I did this blog, is to recommend some nice places for you Vegas virgins, out there.

Anyways, surrounding the outside (which is not an actual outside area) are gondolas, which come in from outside the hotel itself. We were in the inside part. I reserved this part thinking it would be too hot on the outside (not realizing at the time that it’s not truly outside), but the lighting was perfect. And, I think it worked just fine.

Since, at this time, she was living there, she knew the area better than me. I mentioned the Star Trek bar I had read about. She took me to it, at the Hilton. We rode the monorail to get there.

Now, for us East-coasters, the monorail will come off as a nice surprise as it is clean! All kidding aside, it is nice. Anyway, once we made our way to the Hilton. We saw two things:
1. Next to Vince Neil's Dr. Feelgood bar there is some cool memorabilia, but the bar, itself, it is deader than shit. There were two old people at the bar and that’s it! That ain’t metal, bro. It most definitely ain’t Duffs. So, this helps to remind me (not that I needed to), why Duffs rules. And, why only the East-coast could have it.
2. The Star Trek bar is no longer there. Some remnants remain like some of décor, but it ain’t there. Sorry, Trekkies! Funny thing- Spike TV has a show, Three Sheets, about drinking and traveling, that they advertise as new. Well, it ain’t. It’s new on THEIR channel. Proof is they recommend the Star Trek bar, which ain’t there no more, about a month or so, ago. Oh, well. It’s still a good show, but, you get my drift.

TO BE CONCLUDED.....
