The Hangover. Gina Style.

I can't tell you how many times 'not at the (insert word here), Carlos' came out of Gina's mouth.  But I'm pretty sure all of the following were said...


'Not on the airplane Carlos.'
'Not in the casino Carlos.'
'Not in the food court Carlos.'
and my fav...
'Not in front of the asians Carlos'


We woke up bright and early on Saturday morning and headed to the airport.

After a few missed turns to find the long term parking, we were headed in the right direction.  We checked in, grabbed a red beer and made our flight with no problems. Except Gina's missing shoe.

The best thing that I've heard in a long time was as we were taking off Gina said to the flight attendant 'since we're going to Vegas, can we get our drinks first?' 

I thought Em was going to pee her pants as the attendant looked at her like 'well, everyone on this plane is going to Vegas.'

As soon as we landed we headed to the bar to meet everyone else that was flying in.

Pretty sisters!

First ones to arrive

After everyone got there, we headed down to get our party bus.

 It must have been fate, because when we stepped on the bus there were a few drinks in the console cooler.  One being a smirnoff... duh.  We had to.

Then we had the driver take us to the liquor store to get some of this...

And C got a 40.

And Lisa did some flips.

And we worked the pole.

And Meghan got a little out of control with gang signs.

We were a tad bit worried about checking in.  Considering there were 14 of us and the suite was for 8.  Somehow they didn't count our bags and check in was flawless.

The driver dropped us off on the strip and we headed to carnival court for the music and drinks.

Camped out at Carnival Court

Gina stood up from the table, didn't say a word, and climbed up on stage.  Awesome.  This is also the point where her shoes came off.

Everything's bigger in Vegas

 Here's where Carlos (the bag-o-beer) came into play.  We were ready to go back to the room, and we had tons of beer left in our buckets.  Gina came across a pillow case (I still have no idea where this came from) and Carlos was born.

Just walking down the strip.  Looking homeless.

And here's Christy unloading Carlos.

After a few naps and showers we were up and ready to roll.  But not before a photo session in the bathtub.

And a group shot from Meg's heavy duty camera.  More to come on this camera...it came out to play the next night fo sho.

We ended up going to Tao in Cesar's Palace the first night.  Funny story, well not at the time, but I'm glad she's laughing about it now.  Meghan was the last one of us in line and evidently she got held back.  The doorman asked her to stand on one foot and touch her nose like a DUI checkpoint.  I guess he thought she was drunk.  She refused and told him that he was embarrassing her.  He shot back that she was embarrasing herself....and then she got kicked out.  What?!  Unfortunatly, none of us saw this, so we all thought she was with someone else at the club until like 2 hrs. later.  And she didn't have her phone.  Poor girl had a rough night :(  I still feel bad about it!

I think this might have been the time we should have noticed Meghan was not with us...

 This is before we were leaving.  I love the bathtubs with the rose petals!

And the shoes are off! 4.5 " Heels in Vegas = feet on fire.

 The next morning we were up at 7:00 am.  Wth?  I don't get up that early for work.  I guess a pool day in Veg is much more exciting to wake up to.  We grabbed McDonald's ... and Emily, who was still at the roulette table.  I wish I was kidding.  And headed to the Palm's pool.

About this time was when I glanced back and saw a midget running towards us.  Knowing G is deathly afraid of midg's I told her not to turn around, which obviously made her turn around and then start running.  Funniest thing I've ever seen.  He would not leave her alone.  He was crotch level and a dirty dirty person.  I'll leave it at that.

Here were the cabanas we had.

But when we figured out we could have our own island in the middle of the pool, it was an easy decision to jump on that.

Not sure why this picture makes me laugh so much.  It's kind of like Lace is selling her beer to C.

Btw, beers were $9.  And water was $5.  Go big or go home. 

A few mentionable events happened at the pool.  Like when Cait stood up, announced she was getting a tattoo, and came back an hour later with one...

 And then took a nap :)

Or when Gin got a little sleepy and we all had a dance party around her... look closely.

After showers, naps, and some agua, we were ready to hit the town again. 

G really loved that bathtub.

A few of us were ready before the rest so Meghan suggested a modeling photoshoot.  I've never laughed that hard.  It was epic.

Tigers.  Be fierce.

Meg told me to 'think thin'.  Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about those chubby cheeks.

Tyra pose

Crisp, this is actually pretty good :)

Being dramatic.  Excuse our asses.

Then we group'd it...

A few of us went down to the lounge bar at our hotel while we waited on the others to get ready.

The guy taking the picture wanted us to pretend we were all on our phones... okay.

Then we were off to the Playboy Club and Ghostbar where Gina and Meghan danced with the next Biggest Loser contestant...

Megan and her taxi friend

 This is at the end of the night. Best picture of everyone? I think so.

The next day was rough.   The 8 of us flying back to KC didn't leave until 6:30 pm.  And our flight was delayed.  And we forgot to check in early so we were all separated.  Word to the wise... don't ever do that.  We spent the first part of the morning drunk and the afternoon hung. over.

Pedialyte juice boxes.  Best invention ever.

Margaritaville for lunch

We had already checked out of room, so we decided to relax by the pool and then grab some sushi at the restaurant beside it.  Gina tried a bit too much shrachi and ended up running over to the water station.

This is how I felt by the afternoon.

We headed to the airport around 4 and G thought she needed this wheelchair by then.

Of coarse there are other stories that aren't appropriate for the internet. Like Gina's lingerie shower, but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!  Wonderful trip with wonderful friends.  I love you all!
