I had all my bags tucked under my arms looking aimlessly for a certain taxi that I wanted to take to The Luxor Hotel & Casino where I was lucky enough to get me a room at, for the moment I didn't know which casino/hotel my friends all chose to go to, for we weren't going on a group vacation we were all just vacationing in Vegas at the same time, and we promised each other that we would purposely run into each other to have a fun day and have lunch or dinner together, but nothing else was planned between us. Kim had her room already paid for at the MGM Grand, so we knew where she would be.
Abby, she was the only one out of us that's been to Vegas many times, and her favorite place was the Bellagio so I knew that's where she would be. Rachel and Sandy were still undecisive but they had enough cash on them that they could get a room anywhere they wanted to, so they went in separate taxi's and searched until they found the perfect hotel/casino for them to stay in. Sandy ended up choosing the Mirage because she was very interested in watching Siegfried & Roy perform their beautiful animal magic and to see their secret garden and exotic animal refuge in the back of the Mirage. Rachel was still searching for the right hotel and casino to stay in but wasn't sure which one she wanted out of Hard Rock Hotel/Casino, Mandalay Bay, or The Venetian Hotel/Casino, for they all were top of the line places to stay and very beautiful in their own way. After a few more moments of thinking about it, she decided on staying at Mandalay Bay for it was rated in the top ten best hotel/casinos in Vegas to stay in.
None of my friends had to ask me which casino I chose to stay in, because they all knew the answer already, even though it wasn't in the top ten best casinos, I simply told them I didn't care about that, because I wasn't staying there to gamble my money, I was there only to see Criss, and The Luxor was still his main home and if it was good enough for my hero, it was definitely perfect for me. So we all texted each other while we were in our different taxi's heading to our rooms, with me chilling in an awesomely decorated Criss Angel taxi, I even stood outside the taxi and took a few selfies with me standing beside it.
Then once I saw the grand pyramid of the Luxor I do believe I stopped breathing for a while because when I caught my breath I was slightly wheezing a little bit from the sheer excitement for actually getting that close to it and HIM! I paid the cab fare and thanked the driver for the fun ride, then I rolled my suitcase toward the front doors, but was stopped by one of the valets as he asked me if I was a new resident at the Luxor, I shook my head yes to him and he reached out and took my bags as he showed me to the front desk where I could hand the lady my reserved tickets to the room I prepaid for. She quickly stamped them and gave me a room key, I looked at it quickly to see if it was one with Criss Angel's face on it, and I cheered inside when I saw his gorgeous face on my room key.
A bellboy came over to me and said he would show me to my room so I would know how to come and go beens it was my first time there, I followed him happily as I thanked him and my camera on my phone never stopped taking pictures of anything that looked awesome. For every picture was a memory, the bellboy stopped at my room and showed me how to use the key then he showed me into the room and sat my luggage inside the door, after I looked around the magnificent room, I went over to him and thanked him again as I gave him $50.00 for a tip for all of his help and kindness. Then I rushed to the king-sized bed and jumped in the center of it as I squealed out how much I am going to love it here!
I walked thru the entire room getting a good feel for everything, then I grabbed my suitcases and began unpacking because I was going to be there for a long while and I didn't want any of my clothes to wrinkle. I hung up all my dresses in the closet area, then I put all my fold-up clothes in the dressers they had. After my luggage was all empty I put all my feminine products in the huge and luxurious bathroom with a jacuzzi styled bathtub...that I couldn't wait to soak in. I took pictures of my room and sent them to my girlfriends and asked them how their rooms were...after they showed me their rooms I was glad that I was staying here because to me my room was the best looking...not that their's were bad, I just liked the way mine was styled more.
Once I was all unpacked and quite relaxed I looked thru my clothes trying to decide if I wanted to put something flashy on for my first evening and night in the Luxor, or if I just wanted to keep what I had on, my laziness took over and I grabbed my phone and room key and decided to keep my Criss Angel attire on to go exploring a little and maybe grabbing my first bite to eat while in Vegas, for that long trip made me hungry. Then I knew right after food, I was definitely taking a detour straight to the Mindfreak Store, then maybe a little later, I would even treat myself to a drink or two at Criss Angel's magical bar called 'Liquidity' and chillax before I went to do some more exploring and cash spending.
