My bachelor party! 5 nights, 4 days of decadence with some crazy guys in Vegas. What more could I ask for?
Nothing special. I went to Newark Airport straight from work, took a long flight to Las Vegas. Doug, Rohan, and Sean picked me up. We waited for Adrian to show up, and then we went out for a late dinner, then gambling at New York-New York.

Our first official day. After picking up Paul and Neil in the morning, we did some exploring, bought booze, and did more exploring. |

At night, we all met up at Kahunaville ("Tropical Restaurant and Bar") at Treasure Island. Not a bad place, the bartenders can juggle, the waitresses are hot, and drinks are pretty cheap. Also, cute girls seem to show up. We met up for drinks (no food to slow us down.) After Adrian introduced us to a few rounds of British drinking games, they gave me my first task of the weekend: a scavenger hunt that Doug put together. Tough list, but I eventually finished it by Monday. You'll see pictures of me going around asking women for various items and favors. Being the suave Indian man that I am, I got a lot of stuff accomplished there. Another highlight from Kahunaville was that there was a bachelorette party that showed up to celebrate, and we met them. I even danced with the soon-to-be-bride on the stage in front of everyone. Afterwards, we took a taxi to The Beach, a pretty sweet club where the bartenders and waitresses only wear bikinis and swim trunks. We drank, played pool, and did a lot of dancing. Good time, I must say. Please don't ask me about body shots at The Beach. My attorney advised me to not speak about it! |

Ah, again, who can resist Mr. Ipe?
|
"This is the scavenger hunt? Are you all nuts?"
|
"We got one, baby!"
|
|
"You are all sadistic."
|
"Ladies, I'm getting married. Would you help me?"
|
"Hi. I'm getting married, and my friends are jerks.
Can you help me?"
|
Greg and Neil, enjoying my misery

"Have a girl buy you a drink....Brandi, help!"
|
I needed blondes and brunettes to sign my arms

Adrian: "Oh, we're having fun now!"
|
Doug: "Did you ask those girls over there?"
|
Seranade a woman. I gotta sing "You've Lost That
Lovin' Feeling."
|
Barkeep, keep the drinks flowin'!

"Neil, you guys are killin' me!"

"Hello ladies!"
|
After being forced to drink girly drinks, I'm getting
woozy. Can you tell?

Bikinis, alcohol, and pool. Ah yeah.

Saturday was mostly recovering, and exploring Vegas. To keep the weekend interesting, the boys had arranged another stupid challenge for me. Before we left the hotel, they gave me a stupid white t-shirt with the words "Las Vegas" emblazoned on the front. My goal? To get 70 signatures from perfect strangers. Not to make it tougher on myself, but I didn't want any guys signing my shirt, so I kept it strictly women. To show that they're jerks, they kept penalizing me by upping the number of signatures I needed. By Sunday night, they wanted over 100 signatures. Don't worry: I succeeded in my mission, and only 6 women in Vegas actually turned me down. |
Recovering from last night..."Leave me alone."
|
How could I ignore a whipped cream catfight?

Gotta love Spanish tv

Sigh.

Afternoon shows @ the Tropicana

A Coca-Cola store. Why? "Shaun, don't do it!"

That's a big bottle.

An M&M store

Can I resist?

Check out all those colors

Saturday Evening |
|||||
In the evening, we started at a Gilley's, a country western bar at The New Frontier casino, and then we met a few girls who wanted to know all about our adventures so far. It's amazing how intrigued women can be. After a few more British drinking games, two girls decided to join us for the evening. We caught a limo, and continued partying. All I can say is...."Neil, thanks man!" |

Can you really resist me?

Sunday was more recovering, then we went drinking and partying at night. Our night was completely spent @ The Rio Casino. Trust me, there's plenty to do there. We put on our Mardi Gras beads for Club Rio (Mardi Gras night!), and headed over to the 1st stop -- Bikinis. Yes, everyone is in bikinis and swim trunks. Club Rio was closed, so we went to Voodoo Lounge instead. Half of us got home around 5am, and the rest got home after 10am. Yeah, 10am. Awesome!
People have more pictures. I'll have to get them at some point.
Yeah, not sure how I got into this position

Over 100 signatures form women. Joel's da man!

Last night in Vegas. We do our final walk up and down "The Strip", and some souvenir shopping. We hit the casinos we didn't see yet, like Aladdin, Paris, the Bellagio, and (my favorite) the Venetian. We had dinner at The Steakhouse @ Circus Circus (excellent dinner) where we smoked cigars and recapped the weekend. I got toasted a lot.
I must say that the Venetian was my favorite casino, because it was really beautiful, larger-than-life, and just ornate. The Bellagio was definitely 2nd on the list, because of the flowers, the fascinating fountains, and....really pretty women walking around. I miss Vegas already.
Adrian!
