Vegas Stories

Just came back from an absolutely wild trip to Las Vegas. Calvin and I stayed at the Mirage hotel on the Vegas strip. Here's the quick rundown:

Friday night... Fly into Vegas and go clubbing at the Ra in the Luxor hotel. Pick up a table and a bottle of belevedere... Calvin enjoys a little too much and ends up getting carted back to the hotel in a wheelchair. Calvin apparently made 800 off roulette before I even got there.

Saturday... After spending most of the day sleeping, Calvin, Sarah, Lara and I go out to dinner at the Renoir at the Mirage. Apparently, this is one of the top 12 French restaurants in north America. It was a total blast, and we even got to start and end dinner with desert. Unfortunately for me, one of the bizarre French appetizers was filled with something I was allergic too, so after dinner I started to turn bright red and had to take some meds which unfortunately ended my night really early. The decor was amazing, we were surrounded by authentic million dollar reniors.

Sunday... Making up for lost time, Calvin gets up at 6 am to start on the Calvin roulette strategy. After a brunch at the mirage, Calvin and I sit down for some roulette. Within minutes some guy walks by yelling "I can't lose, just won 2800 on poker" He asks Lara red or black and sets down a chunk of chips. He hits it, and then tosses Lara a quarter (Vegas talk for $25 chip) which she proceeds to turn into a couple hundred. I went up 600 but then dropped it all. Calvin and I spent the rest of the day on a 10 hour roulette trip that includes the Bellagio, Luxor and MGM grand. I end up hitting my birthday (23) for a 350 payout, but then blackjack and this evil dealer at the MGM takes all my winnings. So I end up right at 0, which actually is not a bad place to be. I think calvin is still up 7, but he hasn't left Vegas yet...
