I realized I never posted about my Vegas trip! We went to see Britney Spears, but used Katie and her upcoming wedding as an excuse for a bachelorette party. It was my first time there and I couldn't wait! We got in Friday afternoon and walked around, being touristy and going to all of the hotels and seeing that fountain that's in every movie about Vegas. It's weird seeing it all in person.
Heading to the airport!
Where we were staying.
Our view.
Walking around the strip.
Obligatory hotel pictures. (Sorry)
Waiting for us! From one of Katie's friends.
It took awhile....
Of course we gambled after dinner, and I actually won! The slot machines and I became good friends, and I'm sure they miss me.
Watch out Vegas, I'm coming back for you!
The next day we spent the day at the pool. I always heard you had to get to the pool early to get chairs...I didn't really believe them. We got there at like 9 or 10 and there were NO chairs left. None. We batted our eyelashes and one of the workers found some somewhere and carried them to the pool for us. We spent they day laughing, meeting ridiculous people, and listening to awesome music from the dj.
That night we got ready and headed to Planet Hollywood to see the one and only Britney! We were so excited!
We found a place to eat and sat and ordered. It was hot in there and I started not feeling well, and getting light headed. I jokingly (so I thought) said "I don't feel well. I think I'm going to faint." Well, I spoke too soon. Next thing I know I'm laying on the ground looking up at my friends in the lap of a random lady holding ice and wet towels to my neck and head. They called the EMS who immediately asked how much I had to drink that day. Fair question, we are in Vegas after all, but I only had 3 beers, hours earlier. They checked all my vitals, and everything but my blood pressure (it was some crazy low number) looked good. He said I could go to Britney, and I would faint once I stood back up. Or, go with them to the hospital to get fluids in me. I didn't know what to do, so I went with them.
Fully embarrassed, annoyed I would miss Britney, and feeling guilty because Sheri came with me, we headed to the scariest hospital I've ever been to. I didn't want Sheri to come with me, because that meant she would miss Britney. However, once we got there, I was glad she was with me. It was like a psych ward in there! Lots of crazies screaming nonsense. All tests came back normal, other than me being super dehydrated. Right before I left the nurse came in to do an EKG and all I could think about was more money I would have to spend, and how tired I was. (For those of you that haven't fainted before, it takes a lot out of you.) I asked her why she had to do it, her response? "You know all those news stories you hear about football players just dropping dead? I'm doing this to make sure that doesn't happen to you." Fair enough. She did the test, and sent us on our merry way.
We got back to the hotel, and tried to sleep for about 4 hours before leaving to go back to Austin. I didn't see Britney, but the rest of the trip was a lot of fun! Until we meet again, Vegas.
