Well, this past Tuesday I celebrated my 21st birthday in the original City of Sin, Las Vegas Nevada. It was awesome. We left for the air port on Tuesday morning about 5 a.m. We hoped on a plane and landed about 10:15 a.m. After getting our baggage, my parents paid for a limo to take us to our Hotel, the New York New York. It was amazing, we checked in, got our rooms, freshened up and went out to play.

We had some lunch in the hotel, a slice of New York pizza, and then Jeff bought me my first drink. The Bar tender saw it was my birthday so he made me a Purple Hooter shot for free, to go with my Vodka Cran. It was awesome. My parents split off from there and Leanne, Jeff, Rachel and I went to explore. We went to the MGM and looked around. That’s where we found Fat Tuesdays and got ourselves some more drinks. We had cherry bombs too, which were maraschino cherries soaked in Everclear. I was drunk, and it was awesome. We then walked around and did some gambling and got more free shots. It was great.

We went back to the room and passed out for a few hours then went to dinner at Gallagher’s Steakhouse and ate the best steaks ever. Leanne ended up getting sick so she didn’t get to join us. It was an amazing dinner. Then Jeff took Rachel and I on a guided tour of the Las Vegas Strip which was awesome.

The next day we got up and did a bit of slot machine play but didn’t win much. We walked down the strip again with Leanne and Jeff and we went into some awesomely amazing casinos. I kept drinkin and I kept havin a good time! I won $60 on slot machines at the Monte Carlo which was way cool and made me happy.

That evening we ended up going out the the Mandalay Bay to see the sharks. We got all the way there and the sharks were closed for a private event and we were pissed. So we decided to head back to the New York New York. When we entered they were giving away free passes for Coyote Ugly. People had told us that we had to be dressed up and wait in line for hours to get in, so we didn’t really think too much of it. When we walked by Coyote Ugly it was loud and no line. We said what the hell and went on it. It was filled with men and 4 girls standing on the bar with lame attempts of dancing. We decided to head over to the bar and get a drink, then head out.

The head Coyote came on the microphone and gave a big speech something like “ladies this is your bar, I’ll give you a free shot, come dance, let go of your man’s balls and get UP HERE!” Just then Leanne points and says “IT’S HER 21ST BIRTHDAY” she said I had no choice and took Rachel and I on to the bar. We danced for one song and when I went to leave she grabbed me, took me out onto center stage. She announced who I was, that it was my birthday, and told me to get down on my knees. I obliged and she took a bottle of booze and poured it down my throat. Wow, this lead to about an hour more of drinking and dancing on the bar. It was a blast. Then we walked down to the Bellagio to see the fountains but they were $100 bill at a $5 21 table and met a new friend ( Eric, his wife is a physical therapist) and we played for 5 hours. It was awesome. I met a hooker in the bathroom and that was just as awesome.

The last day we didn’t do much, I was wicked hungover so we just walked the strip again. I had a great time. I went to the oxygen bar, which killed my handover, it was wonderful! My parents were awesome for taking us and for another birthday present, they paid off my car and it’s now all mine. Leanne and Jeff were amazing too, with Rachel and all I had the best 21st birthday ever!

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment!

At 7:03P.M. this evening my Grandfather, William Lee, passed away. He has had some serious health problems as of late and his body could only take so much. He was in the hospital since last Monday. He had 3 strokes and 2 surgeries. I got to see him a few times, gave my kisses, and told him I loved him just a few days ago. I am going to miss him with all my heart. He was an amazing man with many accomplishments in his life. I can only now feel comforted by the fact that he is no longer suffering from any pain. Somethings in life, no matter how many times you go through them, just suck.
