The Vegas



For my friend's 22nd birthday a couple weeks ago, we were sitting around on a Tuesday night at 9pm and deciding how to celebrate. We didn't want to do the same old thing at bar around campus (notice I used the singular 'bar' because we live in a third world city that only has one bar). So, we figured that in a couple months we won't be able to do whatever we want on any Tuesday night and that we should take full advantage. We decided to drive to Vegas around 9:30pm, not get a hotel room and drive back in the morning.
A couple of us made it even more exciting for the birthday boy. When he said he wanted to go to Las Vegas, three of us looked at each other with that "lets mess with him a little first" look. By now we know that look when we see it. We acted all pissed and told him that it was a selfish idea and that he should just go with his roommates, who were already packing their car that only had five seats (there were 8 of us total). All we did was act really pissed that they would go without us, then waited twenty minutes and hit the road in our own car. We got to the hotel they were gambling at and snuck up behind them and surprised them with our presence. Overall, it was a fantastic trip and probably the best possible way to do a Vegas trip. Oh, and it didn't hurt that I left $350 richer. I am a lucky person.
