When you've done something enough times, you eventually develop a cadence, a system, a plan of action to maximize your time and efforts. Something a lot of us have done is spend a weekend in Vegas. This past Friday-Saturday, a bunch of us did just that. Where else to better celebrate my and James' 30th birthdays than in the city that LITERALLY never sleeps...
In order to have a great time in Sin City, however, there are a few "rules" that we have come to appreciate and abide by:
In order to have a great time in Sin City, however, there are a few "rules" that we have come to appreciate and abide by:
1) Be prepared - Check the temperature in Vegas and pack accordingly: right clothes for the right weather, enough cash to get you by for the weekend and maybe, if you're lucky, you could get an entire can of Febreeze through security for later use in the hotel. Cile did!
6) If you're planning an evening of drinking and dancing, I have 2 words for you: bottle service.
Because, would you rather be in the middle of THIS? 
...or above it? Rule #6, if you're partying with 10 people or more, do bottle service. You'll thank yourselves when you get home that night and your shirt or dress is stain-free from the drunk jerks and chicks spilling all over the place.
2) Get excited at the sight of the Vegas skyline - Whether you drive or fly there, you know that seeing the Stratosphere from far away tells you that you're near.
3) Not all games involve sitting at a felt-topped table (unless you're Bev, Ja or James) or pulling down a lever hoping to align a trio of diamonds. If gambling's not your thing, try your hand at some carnival games. The prizes speak for themselves, don't they?
4) Live it up! - If there's a club in your hotel that will let you in for free and it's 3:30 am by the time you find out, hurry up, get dressed and bounce! It's Vegas baby!! 
5) When partying, always look sharp - Leave the cotton knit shirts and blouses at home.Thankfully, I have no ugly friends so this is never an issue =)
If you can, see if the place you want to party is playing the music you want to dance to. Hmmm, see where DJ Vice is spinning and go there...

8) Bring photographers. They'll make you feel like freakin' Justin Timberlake - those flashin' lights come from everywhere...
9) Watch how much you have of this:

?) No Vegas Rule here. This picture of James and Larnie just crack us up. hahaha!
10) In all seriousness, the most important rule when you go to Vegas? Party it up and have a good time! That age old saying is completely true: You're only as old as you feel, and right now, we're not ready to hang up our party hats just yet. 30 years old? We JUST got started...
Thanks everyone for celebrating mine and James' 30th birthdays this weekend!!! GOOD TIMES!!!
