Our final day in Vegas we were already exhausted. There were so many things I wanted to show Chad but we both could barely walk and the only thing on our minds was a pool day. We woke up, got some breakfast at the buffet which was highly disappointing. When I was little I remember the buffets being AMAZING. Well, sadly the one at MGM was a let down both times we went for breakfast and for dinner. That was another $100 that went down the drain but hey... when in Vegas.
Anyways, after breakfast we headed to the pool. I was NOT let down there. It was just as big and fantastic as I was expecting and we headed straight to the lazy river. It was a million degrees that day and since it was our last day we decided to get a refill on our 100oz's and play all day at the pool.
Well, you know how when you're outside and you're in a pool and you're drinking that you just never feel drunk. We made that mistake. Let me explain: While floating around the pool we made a few friends. The first group of friends were from Cali and every time they saw us with the big jug of drink they'd be all like, "WHY ISN'T IT FINISHED YET!?" Never one to let down a challenge we drank that first 100oz really quickly. Not to mention extra shots that somehow made their way into our hands. After we finished the drink we still were not done with the pool yet and we were still thirsty. So, off CK went to get a refill. BAD IDEA. Once he came back we started working on our second 100oz pina colada. All I kept thinking was I wonder just how many calories I was sucking down. I swear it probably had over 4000 in it. Anyways, we drank it so now we are 200oz. Then we met more friends this time from Canada and they invited us to their super swanky cabana thing.
After we were done with the river we decided to get out and go hang out with them. It was at this point when I realized I wasn't feeling all that well. We got over to the cabana sat down and they had all this booze and food. I really didn't think I could drink anymore but my new friend was telling me about this drink called the George Clooney. I was like okay just a little bit... then I saw a chicken strip. I was like Chad I need that chicken strip. Our friends had gone somewhere so he reached over and got it. At some point I forgot that they had said it was okay for me to have it and I got all nervous and tried to eat it really fast. It was the best chicken strip of my life at that point but it was huge and I couldn't finish it all. I gave it to CK to eat but the next thing I know he throws it across the cabana and it lands in a tiny cup of honey mustard. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen but I was so confused as to why he did that. Then I told him I had to go to the room. I needed to pass out and it wasn't negotiable. We said bye to our friends (all the while I'm fearing I'm going to get yelled at for the chicken finger fiasco) and I don't remember the rest. All I know is that CK literally lost his shirt somewhere, we are too old to drink like that, and drinking during the day in water is a horrible idea for me I just never felt like I had too much until it hit me all at once. Needless to say this sparked my desire to rarely drink ever again.
When we woke up later that night I felt like a bus had run over me 100 times and I was so sick I felt poisoned. We were starving and all I could think about was mashed potatoes so we went down to the dinner buffet. It was just as terrible as breakfast BUT they did have mashed potatoes. So, that's what I ate. The biggest pile of potatoes you have ever seen. I basically paid $30 for mashed potatoes and 7 glasses of Sprite beacuse that is all I could stomach. After that... we were done with Vegas. Up to the room we went and we watched Lifetime for the rest of the night.
I think we officially decided we are too old and lazy to do Vegas like that ever again. We had a great time but alcohol is not my friend and I will never bring stupid fashionable shoes again. I think for vacations we like to go places and relax... you just can't relax in Vegas. I needed a vacation after our vacation ended but I guess when that happens you know you did Vegas right.
