I GOTTA GET TO VEGAS! OAKENFOLD IS SPINNING THERE!


Ok, I haven't even left LA but I gotta get to Vegas! I don't even care about being tempted by the smoke! My favorite DJ from the UK, Paul Oakenfold will begin spinning every Saturday night, beginning August 30th 2008. He will be at the Rain Nightclub at the Palms Casino Resort. This is his first resident DJ position in the United States. I have seen Oakenfold on a couple occasions at the Hollywood Bowl and he is brilliant! There is a reason this guy spins in Ibiza! Not only does he rock the house, but he is super cool to watch! He is also a remixer and has done a lot of commercial stuff like the James Bond theme.


The Palms has "a newly redesigned 25,000 square-foot nightclub and concert venue it is known for its special effects and international headliner acts. It features state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and ultra-premium bottle service. The multi-level space includes six private sky boxes, seven private cabanas, eight "water booths," VIP rooms, elevated dance floors, and six bars. The Perfecto Las Vegas nights will feature breathtaking visuals and performers in an out-of-this world setting."

All I can say is I gotta get there!

Didn't Smoke In Vegas and Won $600.00! Yeah!!!!!!!


I had a great time in Vegas! First, I did not smoke! I thought about it a couple of times and once when I was sitting next to someone on a slot machine who was smoking I thought about asking for one. Oddly enough, as quick as those thoughts came into my head, they went out just as quickly! I went with a friend who wanted to go to Circus Circus because she brought her daughter and I was like, "I'm gonna gamble in Circus Circus? Ok........" She took her daughter to where the kids play for prizes and I sat down at one machine and started playing nickles. I won over a hundred dollars and decided to cash it out since I had lost about that much the night before. I decided to play the same type of machine right next to it and was playing it for pennies. I could feel the machine was gonna hit and when it did, I had no idea that I won $550.00 worth of pennies! Too bad I wasn't playing nickels! That would have been a few grand! My friend was shocked that I won that much money playing pennies. I was definetly happy to be walking out of Vegas with money instead of scraping together money to drive home and get snacks! I was only gone for a day and a half but I had a great time. It was definetly a good way to celebrate my birthday even though today is my actual birthday. I Hope everyone is doing well and staying smoke free.

Peace,

VEGAS BABY!!

I was supposed to go to Rosirito Beach in Mexco today but there were problems with the reservations. The reservations said I booked for February 11, 2008 which just passed and was last weekend. I know I booked the trip for The Sunday of Presidents day to celebrate my birthday. The timeshare company is checking it out. Well, since that trip did not work out, I am going to Vegas for the today and tomorrow. I have been dying to get my gamble on! I have also thought about smoking recently but every time I smell cigarettes I think YUCK! HOW GROSS! I think I will be fine in Vegas. I am still on Chantix and I am going with non-smokers. I did fine at the Pachanga Casino in November after I got over the smell. Gotta run and pack!
Peace,
