This weekend, my boyfriend and I went to Vegas for the Mr. Olympia show. Well, my feet and stomach are killing me, which is usually a sign that I had a great time. Sugarbear and I got into Vegas on Thursday night. We stayed at THE hotel. I have never stayed at THE hotel before but I will probably stay there from now it. THE hotel is part of Mandalay Bay however it is separate if that makes sense. It’s off to the side of Mandalay bay but is connected by a hall way.
About 90% of the rooms are non smoking, which is awesome. The hotel is separate from the Mandalay Bay casino so the smoke from the gamblers does not effect the hotel part at all. It’s rather quiet and located close to most of the restaurants and shows. The only bad thing about it is the walk to the pool area which took us about 20 minutes 🙁
But enough about the hotel, let’s get on to the juicy stuff….we arrived on Thursday night and decided to see “The Lion King” which was playing down stairs from our hotel room. The show was OUTSTANDING. The costumes are amazing, the dancing and singing was great. The kid’s voice when he spoke was a little nasal and annoying but over all the whole experience of the show was amazing!
While we were in the show, my friend texted me to let me know she was in town and wanted to see if Sugarbear and I wanted to meet up for drinks….well if you know me…I’m all about meeting up for drinks. I told her we would text her when we got out of the show. We got out of the show and walked about 30 feet and ran into David, a VIP guest relations rep for a restaurant/club called Mix. Sugarbear asked David about the club, what it was like, what’s the best time to go..so on and so forth. David informed us that that particular night was an industry night for VIP host/hostesses so it was mellow but if we wanted to come in and check it out we were more than welcome. He gave us his card andwe went on our way to meet up with our lady friend. My friend met us up in our room, nothing scandalous, she’s a lovely lady. We told her about Mix and David and we all decided to head down and check out the club. We went down and saw David again. David informed us that one of his clients couldn’t make it so he would give us his table which was included a complimentary bottle of vodka and mixers!!! yeah..free booze!!!! We basically drank the entire bottle and it couldn’t have been a better night. Mix is up on the 64th floor of the hotel. It over looks the entire strip. The city lights up very well at night and from a view like that it’s hard to not get lost in the moment. Me and my girlfriend danced on the dance floor all night, it was fabulous.
Needless to say the next morning I woke up with a splitting headache. Holy moly. We woke up around9am. After the Club my friend went back to her hotel and Sugarbear and I went back up to our room and “did it” for 3 hours. We were pooped! for what ever reason, we decided to take the tram from MGM to the Las Vegas Convention Center. We had to take a shuttle to excalibure and then walk to the tram at MGM. OMG my feet were already killing me. I was smart and wore my sneekers, SugarBwore his Flip flops…What a maroon. LOL. We got to the show around 10:30ish. Our friend hookesus up withexhibitor passes so we got in free all weekend. The expo was outstanding. The girls at the booths were some of the hottest girls I’ve ever seen in my life. I observed that the girls at a fitness expo obviously had much better bodies than the girls who you will see working the porn expos but that just my opinion.
We walked around for several hours, collecting sample of energy drinks, pre/post work out drinks, protein bars and beverages. I was an idiot and tried every sample I walked past not thinking of what it was going to do to me and the toilette later in the day. I waited in line to see 3 people and that was it. I waited to see Forest Griffin, Clay Guida and Frank Mir. I am aware that it’s silly to got to a body building expo and only get excited about UFC fighters…but hey, that’s my thing…bodybuilding is my boyfriend’s thing
On a side note, I got to see Jamie Eason but I didn’t take pictures with her because my camera died :(.
The expo and contests were outstanding. Again, the bodies there were some of the best bodies I’ve ever seen in my life. I was so happy to got to vegas withthe group of people we went with.
Going to clubs in Vegas can be a chore. The lines are retarded andsometimes the clubs are so packed you can’t dance, let alone walk around and check things out or even go to the bathroom. People in vegas are pretty rude and crazy. Now I’m not talking about the people who live in Vegas, obviously, I’m talking about the visitors. My boy and I went to a topless Pool on Sunday and this damn chick was sneaking pictures of me while I was laying out. Of course I don’t mind, but ask bitch!!!
Saturday night was the Mr. Olympia Show and afterwards our group was going to go out to a club so I dressed up pretty sexy. People in the hotels and casinos were trying to sneak pictures as well some cunt in the bathroom was trying to sneak pictures of my ass..AGAIN..I don’t mind, just ask! There were a handful of guys who asked if they could take pictures and of course I did. These folks had no idea who i was or what I did for a living but they liked my dress andwanted a picture with me. It was flattering. My guy andhis friend thought it was hysterical. :).
So if you guys follow bodybuilding…or don’t you should know that Jay Cutler regained the title of Mr. Olympia this year after coming in 2nd place to Dexter Jackson last year.
