Vegas DIBS!

Right been back from Vegas for about a week so I think its time to update the blog. As you might have guessed it's no longer 'Bangers' and 'Mash', this is because people kept complaining all I blogged about was food. Well don't worry though its gone I will still have some tasty pictures of food, but not just said pictures!

Ok, so I just got back from Vegas with the crew of Big Neill (The organiser of the trip).



Jackie, who was having his first holiday in about 4 years!



Richy, thrash master extraordinaire.



And of course me!



So after being on a flight with about 6 stag parties we arrived in Las Vegas only to be kept on the air strip for an hour as President Obama was landing at the airport aswell! Anyway we finally got off the plane and made our way onwards!



So Neill had booked us into a Planet Hollywood suite and ever suite is furnished with memorabilia from famous films, we were hoping on the Bruce Willis suite, or maybe the Arnie one. We got the Star Trek suite... That said it was geeky but RAD! The room was insane, 2 bedrooms with 3 double beds, 3 bathrooms, a hot tub connecting the sitting room to the master bathroom, a 50ish inch plasma screen and a massive panoramic window view, straight west coast'n!





We hit the club hard on the first night, after finding an energy drink called AMP to power us through our jetlag. Let me tell this drink is fucking mental and will send you crazy as Neill found out on the last night... So we all hit the sack at about 6ish in the morn, I awoke to find Jackie standing next to me asking if I knew where Richy was as he hadn't slept in his bed last night. After a quick look around he was no where to be found so we left him a note and went down to the breakfast buffet.



And who did we find gambling with a drink in hand at 10 in the morn? Richy, still mortal asking us whether it was morning yet. We informed him it was and he proceeded to go to bed, this was his position for about 12 hours.



So we went and hit my most anticipated part of Vegas, the buffets! 14 dollars all you could eat and did I eat! In 2 plates I had sausages, scrambled eggs, steak, eggs Benedict, hamburger meat, breakfast biscuits (like scones) all covered in some creamy white sauce, BOOYA!





While Richy slept, we hit up what Vegas had to offer in the day, this consisted of gambling.



Big buildings.



Asian men claiming to be the only ones playing guitar in the whole of the US.





And Fat people, there were so many fat people that we invented a game called dibs. Every time you see a really fat person you have to shout Dibs and take a sly photo. Immature? Yes. Fun? Most definitely. Here are a few of the best Dibs.







We wandered for a few hours and then went back to the suite to freshen up, Neill decided to take a bath while watching the tv.



Before we went out that night we decided to hit up a 28inch pizza which was pretty damn tasty!



After another night of getting to bed when it was light and getting up after about an hours sleep we decided to have another good wander around Vegas.



We found some Broon!



So before getting mortal on our last night we decided to hit up a posh meal. The venue of choice was a steakhouse and let me tell you it was amazing! Jackie and Neill went for various steaks while myself and Richy went for Steak and Lobster, surf and turf style! Add to this the various sides and you have a top notch meal!





To finish Richy and Jackie decided to get 2 pieces which were meant to serve roughly 4 people...





So arrived our final afternoon which started with me taking a few arty photo's in the room



We then headed out to waste some time before the plane.
Neill found his perfect drink.



Richy had an intense hotdog and chips.





We saw the fountains at the Bellagio.



And finally some more fat people.



We then made our way back to the airport where everyone looked tried from the holidays fun and frolics.





All that was left was a quick munch at Heathrow and then back home!



Catch you all for the next exciting blog update!
