What better place than Las Vegas! Tickets booked, trip planned. This was going to be the trip we both would cherish for the whole life.And we were really really looking forward to seeing each other after almost 5 months.
December 18th '2009
And we Land in Vegas....
My flight was scheduled to reach an hour earlier than Neha's.We had planned to meet up at the airport and then head to our hotel.As soon as I collected my baggage, I went straight to the slot machines at the Vegas airport...not to try my luck,but to get the feel of being in Vegas.
I lost somewhere around 10$ in 20 mins and acted stingy not to pull out another 10$ bill from my pocket.
Just then My phone rang...and on the other side she shouted 'Where are you'.
Well we had the usual drill of 'Where are you...which color ...which side...Aaah I can see you'.
She was yet to collect her baggage, and we headed straight to get it , each one wanting to blurt out everything first.She won.
She told me about her new friend Jersey she had met on the flight,and it seemed she narrated Jersey's full life's story in 5mins.As we were waiting for her Big bag at the conveyor , Jersey joined us...Introductions , Good byes in a couple of mins and then we were all set to Hit it.
We headed straight towards the gate and somehow managed to find our 'booked' shuttle.
I was really really eager to show my new camera to My best critique and get an approval for the mammoth 1100$ I had spent on it.I started clicking pictures right away....and Man..she liked it in the first look.My investment was declared Safe.
On our way to the hotel , everything looked all lit up! Lights , Big theme buildings ,digital hoardings. Our shuttle driver was good and we reached the hotel in around 30mins.
'Golden Nugget', A little tired, we found our room and crashed on the bed as soon as we reached the room.
The view from our room was nice, Lit up buildings , colorful lights etc.We would see the Freemont street right in front of our hotel.We got ready and went down, to have a look at the freemont street after a quick dinner.
It is a nice place with pictures on the ceiling and loud music to kick up your spirit.We spotted people drinking like, they were drinking water.Bear flasks were as big as 2ltr , everyone was holding some or the other drink in their hands.We had a coffee at Starbucks.
It was getting late and we decided to head to the casino located in our hotel.Well , we started with playing the slot machines.We lost....and decided otherwise.We explored the casino, I had the first tequila shot of my life.Finally we won around 20$ , so the final consensus was reached....that we should be drunk to win.Ha ha ha ha!
Finally after a lil chitchatting we called it a day.
Day 2........To be cont!
