What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas...

So I got the adventure I was craving, I am the best man for my cousins wedding and my one duty was to plan an epic stag and I did just that...

Las Vegas, 14 People, 4 Nights, 4 MGM Grand Hotel Suites and 4 Wild Nights plus a out of this world Pool Party. The strip was amazing, every hotel had their own little quirk and they were like resorts in themselves, the people were up for a laugh, the clubs make me never want to go out in the UK again as they were that good. It really is Sin City - a place to just go wild and have the time of your life but everyone knows the saying what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

What I will tell you is that boys need to have the money in Vegas as we buy the tables while lucky old girls get in most places free. I will definitely go again but it is an older crowd, so will return in a few years when I am bit older and have more money to gamble.


But before Vegas we made a pit stop In the city that never sleeps...2 nights in New York. My neck hurt so much from this trip as you can't help but look up the whole time as the skyscrapers are so tall. The views from the roof top bars are amazing, it really is place everyone has to go see it is very similar to London but everything is ten times better.  It is a food city so we just kept eating, from pretzels to waffles and ice cream to some of the best Italian and burgers I have ever tasted. We also done a tour, the guide took us to see Wall Street, Ground Zero, Washington Sqaure (the fountains from the Friends series opening sequence) where we played chess and we visited Central Park.

So we packed in quite a lot and for the evening we ditched the tourist places and wanted to experience proper NYC nightlife, so we hit the lower east side and ended up in  a bar called Pianos where the atmosphere was just brilliant, at one point there was a big group of us just downing patron shots. I even had a time to hand in my cv and some writing samples to The New York Time offices as it was just something I had to do while I was there, you never know what can happen.

These trips were really interesting experiences because everyone was so easy to talk to and just up for a laugh. I don't think I could live in America but would definitely cherish the opportunity to work their for a year. It was just what I needed a trip to boost me in my search and memories to motivate me to sort my life out so I can visit epic places like this again.
