My first trip was New Years 2006. I won a ton of money playing poker that paid for my whole trip. Biggest mistake was being there for 5 nights....by the end i wanted to shoot myself and just be home in bed.

1st time in Vegas was in 1996 with my wife and didn't spend enough time in Vegas. Went to see Hoover dam, drove to Valley of Fire one day and then spent a whole day in Death Valley. Biggest mistake was spending full price to see a show. Did well in the NBA and baseball betting, but was only placing $10 bets. Played a lot of $1 blackjack at Slots of Fun.

I went with my family and I was 21 or 22. When I woke up at 8 am and put on some nice digs I had brought my sleeping mother and sibling inquired, "where the hell are you going so early?" "To hit the tables" I replied, and that was about the last they saw of me until the plane home took off. Good times.

First time was at the Bash...would probably still be there if Pimike didn't drive my drunk ass and my rental car to the airport.

Heading back for a week in March for the Nascar race and whatever else we find to do.

My first time in Vegas I was 19 years old and I went with a girl and her family. The girl Debbie Whelan came from a good Irish home and she was so cute. Anyway, I was trying SO hard to vie for her affection, and I thought a trip to Vegas just us may do the trick. We were in Vegas for 10 DAYS and we stayed at the Hacienda (which has been imploded since). During my stay I lost my bankroll two times over and had to call my boss in NYC to wire me money on two seperate occasions. Even after the extra money, I still was broke by day 8. The last two days I spent in my hotle room pretending to be sick because I had no money to spend with her and her family. Suffice to say I was embarrassed and no closer to getting Debbie to like me. We get back to NY, she starts dating a cop who she subsequently breaks up with who then in turn shoots her dead and kills himself. This all happened within a year. To this day, I wonder if I hadn't been such a degen and spent time with her, if things could have turned out different.

first time to AC blew my roll in 2 hours

mmike032 · 01-14-09, 10:22 PM

never been, probally a good thing too

Sinister Cat · 01-14-09, 10:43 PM

that's a pretty messed up story Casper!

My first time was for my bachelor party, almost 4 years ago. 4 nights, and had an amazing time. Did a lot of stuff.. had been wanting to go to vegas for the longest time, and looked forward to it so much, and it didn't disappoint. I guess the "rookie mistake" I made was at The Gun Store. Shot an M-16.. for idiots like me who've never handled a gun before they put the target upside down so you aim at the bottom and don't destroy the mechanism that hangs the target.. you can guess what I still managed to do.

Have been a bunch of time since but nothing as close to as fun as the first time..

Casper, you have some very interesting/bizarre life stories.

wtf · 01-15-09, 12:30 AM

i thought caspers story was magical!

like to hear more too!!!!!

like some more details, like how much did his boss wire him. so we can gauge how much he pissed away without taking that poor girl out for a nice 2.50 prime rib at the sands.

Is wtf a Robyn or Bread ghost?

Those are the only 2 people around here that I know that use the word "magical".....

Robyn · 01-15-09, 12:36 AM

I would also like to know if her parents let him sleep in the same bed as their daughter.

Robyn · 01-15-09, 12:38 AM

I am usually the only person who uses the word "magical" and I mean it when I call something magical. When something is magical to me, it is equal to unicorns and rainbows. If wtf is using the word "magical", he is using it in a condescending manner.

Casper, wtf hates you.

wtf · 01-15-09, 12:50 AM

wow, never been accused of being a woman before

i am aroused--------------------NOT

Robyn · 01-15-09, 12:52 AM

We seem to have a special SBR dictionary where key words are utilized throughout the forum. It's quite special, you know.

Casperwaits · 01-15-09, 08:20 AM

Just woke up. Let me clarify a couple of things. I didn't sleep in the same bed as her. I had my own hotel room (which I paid for) and her parents and her had a two bedroom suite. Even if I wanted to sleep, she wasn't having any part of it. Yes, my stories are bizzare. I myself have lived a weird life. Debbie was a good Brooklyn girl. Died way to young. My boss had only wired my a couple of hundred both times. I was 19, and my boss was a gambler, so he knew I needed my fix. I remember one pound hot dogs for $1, and having one because of how broke I was. Jeesh, times have definately changed

daggerkobe · 01-15-09, 08:54 AM

First time was when I was 11 or something..... had a swim meet there. Thats all I remember.

First time I gambled was when I was 16. Won like $100 on the slots and a cute cocktail waitress offered me a drink. Good times.

themajormt · 01-15-09, 09:00 AM

My first time in Vegas was 2 years ago this March... My girlfriend and I went out, had a limo pick us up at the airport, drank the whole bottle of champagne on the ride to the hotel. We get to the room and I get in the jacuzzi and started drinking another bottle of champagne. I get out to go bone my gf and I was so lightheaded from the jacuzzi, I slipped and cracked my head and was knocked out cold!!

I spent the first 2 days in vegas in the hospital! I get better, and start to soak all of vegas in. I won $1k my first day playing $25 hands of bj with a $2k roll. I played in a small poker tournament at the stratosphere which was like a $40 buy in and placed second which got me like $900. So at this point I am loving life... We go to the strip clubs and meet this HOTTTTT brazilian stripper who LOVED my gf, and of course I loved the fact that she loved my gf. I tip her like $100 for doing nothing but she gives my gf her number if we want to go out one night.

She calls her the next night and we go to Ceasars and have some drinks and then to Pure. It turns out to be the Armani release party and EVERYONE is in the place. Mariah Carey, Tito Ortiz, Damon Dash, the party was sick!! The stripper some how worked her magic on me and I paid for EVERYTHING! I get the bill and its $1,800!!! I swear I wasnt even drunk yet and I spent $1800! I didnt even have that on my credit card. I spent almost my whole roll on 3 hours at a club. We then went back to the strippers condo and had some fun!!!!

I love vegas
