Mirage Penthouse Tower
Suite (Pre-Party) – A+
My girls decorated the room and we had champagne and
appetizers. We had about 15 people in
there and had plenty of room to mingle and sit.
It was perfect for a small group. (Pics of the suite below)
China Poblano @ Cosmo
(Dinner) – A
We had reservations for 14 for dinner at 6:30. We arrived a little early, 6:20 and our table
was ready. We were seated right away and
our server was there ready to take our drink order. After a few drinks we ordered. It’s a tapas place with Mexican and Chinese
food. We tried almost everything, tacos,
guacamole, dim sum, noodles and chicken and beef dishes – everything was really
good. I think my favorite was the Mongolian
Beef Lettuce. Tapas were perfect for
dinner, we are all satisfied, but not too full and we could keep the drinking
going!
Thunder From Down
Under @ Excalibur (Show) – B
12 of us went to the show and we had two tables of 6 near
the middle. We got there about 15
minutes before show time, the doors were open and there was a small line. We found our table right away and a couple
girls went to get in line at the bar to get drinks. They only had about 2 servers walking
around. I thought for a show like this
it would be easier to get drinks! Then
the show started! Some of the guys
looked like the photos, some did not at all!
The MC was hot and entertaining.
There was a guy with long hair that was very confident. After they pulled the first few girls on
stage I started taking off my bachelorette gear! The girls that did go up, one got kissed, a
few of the guys took their hands and put them down their pants! I did get a hug from one of them; that was
about all I could handle! All in all it
was fun show, we laughed and drank and had a good time, but I never need to go
to back!
Freakin’ Frog Whiskey
Tasting – A
(the guys did this while we did Thunder, review from hubby
below)
The guys headed over to the Freakin’ Frog, an off-strip dive
bar near UNLV with an extensive beer selection and a unique “Whisky
Attic”. Although I’m primarily a beer
drinker, I decided it would be fun to try something new – a private whiskey
tasting in the attic that came with a history of tasting techniques, a
personalized flavor profile assessment for each attendee, and a selection of
five tastings. Our guide, JD, was pretty entertaining and clearly knew his
stuff, though he definitely talks a lot!
After the tasting, we headed downstairs for a few beers –
the Frog has a solid tap selection and a ridiculous walk-in cooler filled with
bombers and other bottles – and then caught some cabs back to the Strip.
Bourbon Room (After
Party) – A+
We met up with the guys at Bourbon Room. The girls and I had taken a limo from
Excalibur over to Venetian so we are hyped up by the time we got there. We walked in already dancing to the music and
the MC brought us all up on stage to dance!
My sister had some left over glow stick bracelets so she was throwing
those out to the crowd and the MC brought us over some shots to take. The guys arrived and we all got drinks and
danced. Everyone there was so nice, the
MC kept coming over and asking us about the wedding and whatnot so everyone
there knew we were getting married on Saturday.
People were coming up and giving us hug and congratulating us and
telling us about their weddings and how long they had been married. It was a ton of fun!
Olympic Gardens
(After After Party)– C
Ok, so this was never in the plans! But as we drank at Bourbon Room some people
dropped off and later in the night someone had the idea to go to Olympic
Gardens. We had about 10 left at this
point and they sent a limo to pick us up.
Cover was $25 for everyone. We
all found seating downstairs where the girls are and ordered drinks. A girlfriend and I went upstairs to the
guys. The guy dancing had on cargo
shorts and no shirt, for $25 I had better see a g-string! Ha-ha!
Peppermill (late
night eats) – A+
Love this place for late night grub. Four of us left the OG and headed here for
late night food. We were all pretty
drunk at this point, but we still had good service and food came out fast. I am always a sucker for the nachos late
night!
