Xmas in Sin City (part 4) - Finale

It’s Christmas Day in Vegas, it doesn’t feel like Christmas, though I did spend the day full of anticipation. Today, we had planned to have dinner with one of my bestest buds Pinoyboy and his betrothed.

We woke up totally on Pacific Time (you knew it had to happen on the last day) and had a good Christmas morning snuggle. We then had a nice iChat Video Session with my family, my mom was happy to see us and my brother announced he got engaged to his girlfriend of 10 yrs!

Next we attempted to get some lunch. Boy was that a trying experience. The number of people in Vegas increased every day we were there and it was horrific on Christmas Day. We went to 7 different restaurants each with hour-plus waits. Lucky for us the Carnegie Deli in the Mirage had a very short wait and as we had found out the day before, very good food. We noshed, and laughed and ate enuff cheesecake to put us into a coma. We adjourned to our room for some rest.

Around 4pm, Pinoyboy gave me a call to tell me that they were in town and wanted to know what was up. We met up at the Venetian around 6pm and strolled thru the Grand Canal and had a cuppa. It was so good to see him and we had lots of fun catching up. Around 7pm we went our seperate ways and grabbed our better halves and met up at the Wynn for dinner.

While looking for the Wynn’s buffet, we all decided that as Pinoyboy’s boyfriend said we weren’t “buffet hungry”, so we went to the nearest restaurant. While the food was good, the price sure wasn’t. True we didn’t get as much food we would have at the buffet, we certainly paid a damn site more :) My martini was 12 dollars! The food was good, but the company was better :). After dinner, and a bit more strolling, we sadly had to part ways. I didn’t want to but, we had to be up at 3am to get the shuttle back to the airport. I’m sure Pinoyboy didn’t want to either. Sigh, such is life.

So in a few short hours, we’re off to the airport to catch our flights back home. All in all it was a great trip, with lots of good times and lots of relaxation. Just what I needed!



Go on... say something. You know you want to.
