So I did go to Vegas just a week ago and my trip well... Okay. I've been there before so it's not like I'm seeing anything too new but it is Vegas so you would think that I would go all out with tons of drinking, gambling, clubbing, and girls. Sad to say that there was nothing of the sort, just a little bit of drinking and tons of gambling.
Day 1
We left Des Moines pretty late I think our flight left around 8pm so I had pretty much the whole day to myself in Des Moines preparing for my trip. I didn't have a lot do actually as I already packed everything the night before so all I really did was just hang out with my cousin, Tina all day. It was a pretty tamed day had lunch with some friends and then we just drove around doing a few errands a little shopping. Finally it was about that time to leave and I'm so ready for hopefully what I was hoping to plan a pretty fun trip.
Let me start by going on that I've been on a vacation with this particular uncle before and if he ever comes to find this blog of mine, I wouldn't care for him to find out what I really feel about my trip. I'll link the entries of the last trip to Vegas I had with him at the bottom of this entry. Anyway, I know he has a gambling problem the whole family does anyway and we have tried many times to try to help him out acknowledging that problem and trying to get help. Sad to say that it didn't help and he still continues on losing more and more money and breaking promises. For me, I was planning on doing this trip solo and pretty much take my own cab rides to places and just experience Las Vegas my own way while he sits at a gambling table spending the amount of 6 months of paychecks for me. I wasn't aware that we were going on this trip with 3 old FOB (Fresh off the boat) ladies and we were going to show them around Vegas so right there my plan was already going to shits.
The first day wasn't too bad actually since we got there late all we did was gamble a little and ate at 'Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill' where I had probably the best Spaghetti and Meatballs I've ever had in my life. I don't know how to really express how amazing the spaghetti was but it's just the perfect sauce not too sweet like I've known a few restaurants that I've been to in the past has done and also the meat wasn't salty that I've also found in many places too. As I hate to use this word because it just doesn't sit well with me but it's the only thing I can describe it, but the meatballs were just 'moist' It just about melts in your mouth with powerful flavor. Sadly enough, this was probably one of the biggest highlight on my trip. If you know me, you know that I am a foodie and I don't eat just to satisfy my body I eat because I really enjoy food so coming to this restaurant was just the perfect thing to do for my first day in Vegas. I was hoping to have more of these experiences.
