Bachelor’s Trip in the Wild Vegas


Posing at Death Valley NP
I am back again with some late posts and with the same reason. I always finish off the previous trips before making a new trip, this is the same. I am planning something big and hence thought of writing this one before. My Bachelor’s trip or I would say my last bachelor trip was organized, where it should have been. It was none other than Wild Wild Vegas. The trip was not planned to be a bachelor’s trip; it was started as a reunion plan and then eventually turned into Bachelor’s trip. We started planning as 4 people and soon, one guy dropped. It was due to that one person, that it was planned in Vegas and he backed out. There are some people who just don’t know how to understand what’s important. Our initial plan was to have the reunion in Minnesota, the same place where we all met. Then it was shifted to Vegas. There were 3 people in the plan-Khan Sab, Bhati bhai and me. Then after few days, we got one more-Dani bhai. Until, last moment-we were 4 guys. We booked flights-Spirit (TIP: I booked it on airport, which saved me around 30$, instead of doing it online) and hotel (TIP; Bhati bhai had some account in Harrah’s, hence it saved us some money) and then car-it became bit costly, but we got hatchback-Awesome.

New Year Celebration
I got married in Feb 2018 and we had New Year’s long weekend, so it it was perfect time to plan the trip. At the last moment, we got to know that Khan Sab has backed out but another friend came into picture few days before trip, so only 3 people were remaining now. We started, after finishing our jobs on Friday the 29th and reached the same day. Picked up our car and then headed straight to Hotel. We were bit tired on that day, so just arranged some supplies and said Good Night. Everyone knew that it was a bachelor trip for me, but we got to know that it was for Bhati bhai as well. His marriage was also fixed.
Hotels
We planned to go for a road trip on the first day of our trip. We visited Death Valley National Park.it was a nice place with scenic lookouts and beautiful drives. It’s the hottest, driest and lowest national park. It was given its forbidding name as a group was lost here, which was also rescued later, but any way they gave this name. We stopped by at many places to get the feel of the place such as Dantes View, Twenty mule Canyon, Zabriskie Point, Furnace Creek, Badwater Basin and Permanent Springs. Our car was going at 80 and I thought of opening the top which was really a bad idea as it was about to blow out. (Tip: Never do that in a moving car). The best location was badwater basin-it’s the lowest point in North America. Its 282 feet below sea level and often gets salts from surrounding basin making it undrinkable and hence the name. It was lot for the day. So we just slept after returning the car.
We didn’t plan to do much on the next day as we wanted to see the fireworks and celebrate New Year in evening. So we were just hanging around the hotels, casinos and on the streets. I am not good at gambling, so I stayed away from it. I like the hotels, their decoration, so we were going to each hotel to see and admire the New Year festivity. Night time, we saw fireworks, which were ok. They should be planned in a better way. We were standing in front of Ceaser’s Palace which had the best fireworks. The 1st of 2018 was the last day of our Sin City so we wanted to keep it soft. We exchanged pictures and Bhati bhai departed for Flight as he had the earliest one. I and Dani wanted to check out the Freemont. The street was just waking up when we visited there-around 3-4 PM. We saw some Magicians and different type of people showing their creative abilities in order to earn some money. That was all for Vegas, then we returned airport and came back home. I reached bit late and luckily found a taxi waiting at the station.

Its Vegas… Baby

Ceasers
Las Vegas or just Vegas is most mast (happening) place of Nevada, US. It’s famous for Gambling, Shopping, Dining and … last but not the least- Night Life. Its major attraction is gambling and night life, I was there for 2 nights and was playing all time. So you can imagine, how it is. Some people even call it as The Entertainment Capital of the World. I must say, Vegas has the best hotels I have ever seen. All the hotels have a different architecture, some are theme hotels. For example, there is a hotel-Venetian. It wonderfully depicts Vatican City architecture. They have even created the artificial Tiber River in which you can spend some romantic moments in a boat. There are many hotels to talk about, will come to that part later in the post.

New York
We started for Vegas on Friday Eve, reached by 8 PM local time. The most amazing part of the trip was, we visited their at a Friend's Bachelor party. What could be the best place to have a bachelor party other than Vegas, at least I hoped that.  So, we reached at the airport and waited for our friends to join, once the crew was set to go. We checked in our hotels and I must say it was huge. As we wanted to be on top floor, we got 26th floor room. When we were fresh and fired up, we took a Mono Rail to MGM Grand Hotel for DJ Tiesto. The Club was swarming with people, it took us 15 minutes to enter and have a proper space to dance. We danced around 3-4 hours and next plan was to hit one more club, but due to some confusions, we reached a wrong club. Still few people wanted to go original one, so we waited for our car and went there. Even after all the efforts, we dropped our plan of going in. Its cover fee increased as we didn’t used their cab. Bummer.

Paris in vegas
Finally we went in Palazzo casino early morning around 3-4 AM. We tried to play Roulette- a crazy one, actually lost some money and slept. Next day, we headed for Indian restaurant, had nice food and started hitting casinos. Due to hot sunny day, we entered in the closest casino near us @ Encore. It has one of the best architecture in Vegas, especially the pool area. It’s like cake for your eyes. Then we entered Wynn, met with rest. Played till night and had few drinks, yea I don't drink but groom made me to take a sip-neat. For a moment, I felt heavy headed and then it was normal.

@ Circus Circus
As per plan, our next adventure was a night club. Beep Beep Beep. Headed to our hotel and then slept. On the last day, we checked out, had lunch and said good byes to our friends as they were heading back. We still had the whole day at our disposal, so we started exploring all the hotels. Starting from Ceasers-A Roman theme hotel with a Colosseum. Nearby we had Bellagio and its famous Fountain. Then we moved to Eiffel Tower-Paris, Brooklyn Bridge-Newyork. Next was Aria, The Cosmopolitan and finally MGM Grand. Since Sun was going down, so we thought its better to collect our bags. When we reached hotel and collected bags, still had some time before we should go airport. Hence we made another stop at Hotel Circus Circus for obviously Circus show, it was good. Then we played for some time there and lost some more money hi hi hi. Their casino was looking like poor people’s casino, but took the same money from us. Presenting a glimpse of Vegas in below video.

Now it was time to reach airport, booked a cab and reached Airport. The trip was good, with a few twist it would have been better, but that’s fine. Next time.
