We Used To Sail The Streets At Night in Thirty-Five

Hey friends, how are we all doing this wednesday? afternoon/evening. I finally got my computer set back up in the “computer” room. Which is the rat room lol. Unfortunately we lost Ralph last week. He was almost 5. He was so sick, there wasn’t really much that could be done for him. I gave him a good bath the night before though. And he bit me of course lol. But anywho, so he is resting peacefully and our current 8 are doing just fine.

So after my last entry, I just wanted to come by and write about Vegas because we had so much fun.

Leading up to it was kind of like I don’t know whats going to happen because we made some money on our yard sale but not a lot. like $300 total. and that was off the sale of maybe 5 things (two mirrored closet doors for $250 and a couple other random small items). But we had already planned things out so we were going to be ok.

The week before, we had to get all kinds of shit done. We went to the courts, got our marriage license filed, got Randy’s traffic ticket taken care of, went to Social Security to get my name change filed with them, then went to DES to drop off a form for our Food Stamps, and then went and got his license reinstated. We did that ALL in one day....in about 4 hours. That included lunch. We BREEZED through that day. He said we should have gotten a medal or trophy or something for doing it so quickly lol.

Other stuff popped up between the time we had to go and the time we actually went, like I got paid and stuff, but after bills, what was left of my $750 check was about $200. Still not terrible, but we did learn that we need to take at least $1k with us next time, jeez.

That’ll be far in the future though. Anywho, so my dad text me on Thursday or Friday of the week before to ask if we were ready. I told him that we were going to figure out the lodging details when we got home (we were out doing some grocery shopping and whatnot). He told me to call him IMMEDIATELY lol so like 2 minutes later I called him.

Apparently my aunt had been asking him about our plans, when we were going and whatnot. I thought she wanted to go with us which would have been fine, but she ended up using her points to get us our rooms at the place where she has a timeshare (Club Wyndham). Its a little off the strip but we were able to take shuttles to Harrah’s and then walk the strip from there, so it was good.

So We got that sorted. Sunday came and we left by 9:30. Randy drove all the way up there, which was a relief! I had been driving everywhere for the previous two months because of his license being suspended (due to not having insurance for a couple months after he stopped working, oy). We stopped in Kingman to have food and we got to vegas around 4 I think. Checked in and relaxed.

That night was kind of rainy and cold. We drove to a dispensary down the street (legal weed!) and then went and got some food at Nacho Daddy. It was really tasty! I paid for that meal, but my dad mostly paid for every other meal we had besides the ones that Randy and I had by ourselves.

After that we went back to the hotel and relaxed. Our room was amazing. You walked in to a smallish dining room (with a table with 6 chairs), a full kitchen, a full living room, a bathroom off the dining room, a bedroom to the left with two queen beds, and then our bedroom to the right which had one king bed, a jacuzzi tub and a shower, a sink and then a water closet (toilet inside a closeable door). There was a stackable washer and dryer next to the WC. We had a door on our room and everything. Both bedrooms did. It was amazing!

While we were checking in, they of course asked us to sit in on a presentation about their properties and getting involved. We agreed so we could get a $100 AMEX lol. We already know how these things work so we just told them, we really are just here to get the AMEX, we’re on our honeymoon, this was a gift given by my aunt who is an owner and so we don’t need to get one ourselves.

So we ended up having an extra $100.

Monday morning, we went to the presentation thinger, took about 2 hours, got our card and then went back to the room and passed out for another couple hours. We headed to the strip. Got some adult beverages and kind of just walked around for a bit. I think we had a hot dog because we had planned on going to dinner at some point. We parted ways with my dad, after getting him his monorail pass, so we could try and go to one of the dispensaries. I told Randy it was too far…but he insisted we could walk it, so I begrudgingly went along.

We got to a certain point and he saw how much further we would have had to walk still and said “it’s too far!”. At that point I was like “I FUCKING SAID THAT A HALF FUCKING MILE AGO!” omg I was so mad lmao. So we walked very slowly back to where we could catch the monorail and We ended up getting some drinks, and then we met my dad at the MGM for dinner at like 6. From there we went back to the room and fell asleep for a while.

We ordered 7-11 delivery at like 1am lol and then went to bed after that. Tuesday i think we just kind of did our own thing. My dad said he was tired, my knee was KILLING me. Randy went to a vape shop for me, because I dropped my bottle of juice somewhere or left it at the MGM, so he did that and took a while. He went to another dispensary and also went to Von’s to get some cream cheese and some other stuff, can’t remember what lol.

I got in the tub and soaked in some hot water while Randy napped.

I told my dad that Randy was asleep, and that I didn’t know when or if we were going to go down to the strip, but that he could go whenever he wanted to. So he took off around 6 to the casinos and we just kind of relaxed for a while. Randy finally woke up around 7:30 and we headed down to the strip.

It was funny because we were getting on the shuttle and my dad was getting off haha. So we walked around for a while. We didn’t feel like drinking but we took plenty of weed with us. Stopped to smoke here and there which was awesome. It’s not technically legal to smoke in the street yet, but no one really cares. There was ONE security guard at the Club Wyndham who said something, on the last day we were there nonetheless lol.

Anywho, so we had some amazing fucking hot dogs at the Grand Bazaar Shops at this place called Dirt Dog. I had seen it the day before on my FB as an ad, so I told Randy about it and hes like YES! It was so fucking good.

We were going to try and make it back to Harrah’s by 10 so we could catch the shuttle but it was 5 til when we were eating our dogs, so we just said screw it and we’ll call an Uber.

Well that didn’t end up happening either lol. We got seriously stoned, bought about 5 lbs of M&M’s and walked our happy asses the 2 miles back to the hotel lol. We sat outside of MGM on a bus bench to smoke the last of the one joint we had to get through that last half mile or so, and this random dude comes and sits on another bench closeby. He watched us for a few minutes and then very politely asked “hey when it gets down to a doobie, can I have it?” lol. Randy looked at me like wtf? and I said just give it to him, we have more lol.

So we marched our happy asses back to the hotel and finally fucking got off my feet. I was proud of myself. Randy was getting irritated I think but I was in SO much pain it was ridiculous. But we made it. I took a hot shower and immediately fell asleep.

We made reservations the night before to go to the NuWu Cannabis Marketplace. It’s a 16,000 square foot dispensary, and the only smoking room in the US. It’s legal to smoke there because it’s on Native Land, so they have their own rules yanno.

We got there around 1, a little before. Ordered our package, which was 2 grams of flower, some concentrate and some snacks and drinks. We got that, got SUPER fucking high and just kind of chilled out there for about 2 hours. We ordered an infused s’more which was delish. We got what we didn’t smoke to go, and bought a few other items and then called our Uber to take us back to the hotel. We passed out for like 3 hours and then around 7 decided to go get dinner. We went to Gordon Ramsay’s Burger. Randy has been wanting to go there the last few times we went and we just never got around to it. We finally went.

I wouldn’t say he was disappointed, I just don’t think it lived up to the complete hype he had put on it. lol. Oh well, I thought it was all very good. We took it easy going back and ended up getting a Lyft back to the hotel from Planet Hollywood because we just didn’t want to walk back to Harrah’s. I put some clothes to wash, took a shower and then we went to bed.

Thursday we got up and checked out, made the trip down to Laughlin. My dad had a free room at the Tropicana that night. We kinda just hung out for a while. Had dinner at a place downstairs and it was good. Smoked some more and then went to bed. I drove home from there. Was a long drive home because there was a pretty gnarly accident going through the Joshua Tree National Park but that added like an hour.

We stopped in Phoenix to get some food at Rudy’s and then came home. Got home around 7:30 that night everything was good. My dad left back home on Sunday we’ve just kind of been doing nothing all week.

There’s a lot going on. As I said before but, yeah more to come later as we iron out any little details. Hope you’re all having a good one! Take care!
