Leaving Las Vegas & The MTV VMAs

It's Saturday and about 9:30am (Pacific time) and we're loading up and getting ready to "pull out." Last night was a lot of fun. Amber, Jason & I ate at the World Carnival buffet at the Rio resort. Talk about a spread! Everything and anything you can think of - they had it. My favorite part, of course, was the desserts. We then ventured over to the Palms Resort & Casino. This was the place to be last night! The MTV VMAs are being held there tomorrow night and it was a mad house. You could tell who the celebs were - even if we couldn't - they had an entourage and lovely ladies following them. We saw the are where they will interview the winners after they accept their awards. (Sidenote for baby Ber: Confirmed - Brit is performing - it was everywhere) Every 20-something in Vegas was there wearing their hip clothes, high heels and tight dresses. We couldn't get in anywhere due to private parties for the VMAs. Amber & I had our eyes peeled for celebs. We hung out near the Hart & Huntington tatoo shop for a bit, Ghost Bar (private elevator to get up and there was a line you wouldn't believe), Playboy Club (guest list), and just peopled watched around the casinos. I have never felt so unwanted as I have felt in Vegas. You have to be special and on a guest list and dressed a certain way to get in anywhere. We left Palms for Old Town Vegas and stayed for an hour or so then came on home. We were so tired from walking in the 105 degree heat all day up and down the strip. I may be a 15 year old girl at heart who still loves MTV, but if it were up to Amber & I, we'd have stayed at the Palms all night and soaked in all the celebs.

Oh and it's confirmed. I do love Las Vegas. A girl can get into so much trouble here and have so much fun. I will come back soon - that is for sure!

OK so its kind of sad that your boss had to let me know that such a wonderful blog existed...but reading about your adventured did set me back at least 30 min this morning. Who is this Courtney person that is posting comments? It can't be the Courtney I know b/c I'm pretty sure wherever she lives they don't have phone or internet. Please tell me that this trip ends at the Glencoe vs. Hokes Bluff game Friday night...Ruff the Bluff!
