February 7 [A]

I'm planning on posting again later tonight to update on the wedding and the other festivities. But before I forget, I need to type what went down yesterday after the Venitian. My sister and I ended up walking around and to different shops on and around the Strip. In particular, the Miracle Mile. Well, before that we walked around the Citywalk and into this large modern looking structure. Inside that were basically all of the stupid expensive shops like D&G, LV, Gucci, etc. It's a shame, because it was designed beautifully only to have a limited number of people visit it because of the choice of stores. Whatever.

Now, next was the Mile, where we spent most of the time in. There were some pretty decent sales going on so I ended up picking up a fee things. Soon afte I received a text from Brad saying they were in the MGM doing a little gambling. Tori wanted to hit up the Coke store before we split up, so we did. It worked out because it was on the way. Once I got to the Grand I found Mike and Brad at the blackjack tables. Apparently things weren't working out. Anyway, reservations were made at Emeril's restaurant at 8:30 and, considering it was being looked at as a semi-rehearsal dinner, Brad had to go looking for a shirt. So I ran along with him. Long story short, we ended up looking in 3 differed casinos before we finally ended up getting a taxi to the Mile. We went to a few stores in there, scrambling because it was already close to 8:30 an we weren't too close. Brad ended up finding something at Quicksilver while I got a button-up from American Appearel. Good thing I went with him, as I was not dressed for the occasion to begin with. Next we hightailed it back to the Grand and speed-walked to Emeril's. We got there 15 minutes late, but it didn't matter because everyone was still waiting for the table. We finally were seated and proceeded to have one of the best dinners in a long while. So good.

Now it was time to go out with just the guys and so a little night before the wedding action. Unfortunately, the first thing that happened as far as the activities were concerned was Brad losing some money. From there we walked some more around Vegas before we ended up at Planet Hollywood. After a few minutes, a decision was made to head to some
strip-joint. And that's were the real entertainment began...

More to come tomorrow,
