Chapter 5: The Dux

By the time we got settled in, and changed out of our airport clothes....oh wait...I got changed out of my airport clothes, because until 9am this morning Dubs (Warren) luggage was still traveling the world solo (probably trying to pick up chicks), it was 2:00 and we were ready to meet up with THE DUX and cheers a few cheerers for his birthday!

Lucky (man its nice to use that word in this city) for us, she had a suite in the exact same hotel as us. They had an entire bar set up in their suite including 2, 1.75 bottles of patron. Our first appearance in the suite started with introductions followed by here's what cocktails we can make, then BAM...WE'RE TAKING SHOTS! Four drinks, 3 Patron Shots, 2 Swedish Fish shots a one piece of pizza later we were primped and ready to walk to town for a little gambling action for The Dux birthday.

At this time, Dubs and Dux had only put money on the Boise/Fresno game. I told them that it might not be as ideal to throw as much money on it as they did because they were playing the Fresno side. Lets get real, Boise and Idaho is filled with Mormons, which means they are extra focused on the task at hand...FOOTBALL! BUT at the end of the day, I bit my tongue, as they pulled out the win. And, for winning we got vouchers for free drinks at the bar. We asked for Seven and Sevens, got Bourbon and Sevens instead...? They were not good! In fact for once in my life, I loved the fact that Dubs proceeds to SPILL everything because once back in the suite, he came in to give me an oh so sweet hug and grab a chicken and waffle potato chip and proceeded to spill the entire drink all over my legs. I was SO happy I didn't have to feel obligated to drink it anymore.

Dubs, Dux and I were off to conquer the world. Our first stop was the Harris. The Roulette tables to be exact. BUT FREEZE FRAME, we got goat roped at the door into this great idea.... buy a drink and get a shot free. One: the drink we picked was some frozen energy, pineapple, god knows what else mixed with Skyy.  Two: the thought about how fast we chugged it because at the table you were only allowed to have one drink in front of you..makes my brain hurt from freezing all over again. Lesson learned, just because they say its free....IT IS NOT FREE!

After NOT making money at the Roulette, we were off to an outdoor bar to play BlackJack. Dubs bought in for me, making sure us three were rocking the table. Well, until the hand struck midnight and the birthday boys luck had drawn thin. Trying to keep up with the $20 bets Dubs was forking out, Dux found himself as an observer, not a player. But the free drinks at the table were flowing and the fun was hand.

Our walk back was interesting. I had no clue where we were going and Dubs was carrying the food that smelt way to good not to be eating at that very moment. Standing along the street sides are these people wearing shirts that say...GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS. I looked at one and ask her "OMG, ALL GIRLS?" Her our of excitement gave me a business card for all 5 that they have working tonight. I showered the Vegas streets with them.

Now, that Dubs luggage arrived, it means my tooth brush has too!!! Time for breakfast. Stay tuned for what today has to hold.
