My Caesars Stay - 2007

That was on the rehab party at the rock hard hotel show

Yes, apparently that hotel does not offer any sort of in-room intimacy kit. RedRock used to let you reserve a room and check the option for an intimacy kit at the same time but doesn't do it any longer.

It may be an indication of how Vegas has changed that so much loud and drunken behavior is tolerated by the club crowd but would never have been tolerated in the casino area.

What is the intimacy kit exactly?

The one in Caesars that I looked at included condoms, chocolate body paint, kinky dice, condoms and massage oils for $25.

A couple of things to add -

When we first arrived at Caesars, we went for a coctail at the Seahorse Lounge. I went for a Lemon Drop, and my wife had a lychee Martini. The Lemon Drop I had was sweet, refreshing, and definitely moreish. My wife however said the lychee martini was too much Martini, and not enough lychee, with a lychee dropped in the bottom and a small spash of lychee juice. The cocktails were around $14 each, which I probably wouldnt pay again, but when I was a Vegas virgin, I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere. A word of warning however - the Seahorse Lounge serves the strongest Manhattan I have ever tasted. I like Whisky. I like Bourbon. I dont like getting drunk off my ass from one drink (not the good drunk, the feel really sick drunk) although it did make for a cheap night.

In my defense, I could say I was dehydrated from the hot and dry desert air that I wasnt used to, and had been on an excursion to the Grand Canyon on the hottest day of the year (so far) during a heatwave. It was still a really strong drink.

The excursion we went on was awesome. We were picked up from our Hotel around 7am, then driven to a small airfield where we took a 12 seater plane to the top of the Grand Canyon, over the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. At the top of the Canyon we took a Helicopter Ride through the Canyon itself and landed at the bottom, then took a boat ride along the Colorado River for about 1/4 mile before turning back. Then we taken to a Hualapi Tribe reservation, where we were fed well, delicious BBQ pork or chicken, cornbread and vegetables.

A trip like that was definitely work the day spent. It was a once in a life time experience. Unless you go again. I would definately reccomend a trip out there, its stunning.

Long ago I was wandering around the various Downtown casinos and while my eyes were transitioning from the bright sunshine to the dimly lit casino I had a waitress I could barely see offer me a free drink. Everyone in town pushes booze.
I've never been to Caesars but at 14.00 for a drink, I'd sure want it to be "generous". I hope the dehydration from the desert excursion and the very stiff drink caused you to steer clear of the casino's gambling tables for a few hours.

Oh yes. I had to go and have a little lie down.

As hydration goes, you don't want alcohol, cola or coffee to rehydrate. Those drinks can dehydrate you in short order. Cola and coffee have a mild diuretic effect. Water dissolves in alcohol, so when you drink any it sucks water away from the tissues it comes into contact with. What alcohol you eliminate takes the water out of your system.

To rehydrate the best things are plain water, fruit juice or sports drinks.

I don't want to diminish your Grand Canyon trip, but you haven't really seen the Grand Canyon unless you see it from the south or north rim. Preferably the south rim, although that side is also much more crowded and touristy. The west rim trip that you did is only half as deep as the central part of the Grand Canyon. Still stunning, and much more convenient to get to from Vegas. But when people tell me they are thinking of doing a west rim trip, I usually suggest they do it right and take a 2-3 day trip to south rim. A convenient way to get there, avoiding the line at the entrance, is the train from Williams, however you only get about 5 hours at the canyon. If you're in good shape, I highly recommend walking across the canyon, as I've done three times. I also did a helicopter trip to the west rim once. It was great, don't get me wrong, but we only had about one hour at the canyon itself. Better than not going at all, but doesn't compare with hours or days at the south rim.

I agree. The West Rim was touristy (probably not a real world but I like it) and convenient. If I was to go back to the Grand Canyon I would do a trip over a couple of days. I would rent a Harley as well. Need to get my driving licence before I do that, so its a few years away.
