An amusement park for adults.
Beautiful bodies in barely there bikinis.
Casinos full of eager players trying to keep their cool and their cash.
Dressed to the nines, dancing until the stilettos must come off and the sun comes up.
Entertainment everywhere you turn.
Fearless, foolish, fun.
Great friends getting together for a girl’s trip!
Hot spots, high energy and hangovers.
Inhibitions revealed.
Jackpot. Jokers wild. Seven come 11. Bet. Push. Stay.
Knowing you are going to hurt in the morning.
Lights, loud music, “LOVE”.
Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo, MGM, Mirage.
Never. Coming. Again. Is what we always tell yourself, yet…
Once you’re there, one night is never quite long enough.
Poolside cocktails in the hot summer sun.
Quick escape, dangerously only an hour away.
Risk. Roll of the dice. Reward.
Smoke-filled rooms full of sparkle, shimmer and shine.
Time stands still and taunts you to stay up later.
Under dressed, over exposed and within reach.
VIP all the way.
Winner winner, chicken dinner!
X-rated, overrated, under estimated, it’s Vegas, baby!
Y
earning for a shower. And a nap.
Zzzzz.

Wow Tonya I love this post. Vegas is one of my favorite places to vacation. Going there again next month even though I much prefer late september to go. K is the best. Knowing you are going to get hurt in the morning. Too true.
Love it! I think I am the only 35 yr old who has never been to Vagas! I think that's a sin or illegal or something.
You forgot the food….yum! Great job!
The first time I ever went to Vegas and I came home with son #1! =)
Hee! I love this! So fun, and the way it's paced you can totally feel the energy!
That being said, I LOATHE Vegas. Altho, I've never been for a girls weekend. Hmm…
Great way to work this prompt! And I think you did a great job of encapsulating the experience of Sin City!
I'm not a fan of Vegas, but this kind of makes me want to go.
I hated Vegas last time we went, but this seriously makes me reconsider!
Linked through RedDress. Love your entry 🙂
This captures that energy so perfectly. I love how it brings me right there. Well done. And yes, I too hate Vegas after a few hours of "ping ping ping ping."

"Knowing you're going to hurt in the morning."
Snort. So awesome, yet sadly true. I still want to go back after reading this!
ha, this was great, I've never been to Vegas but reading this totally makes me want to escape 🙂
this is awesome! I have never been to Vegas and have always wanted to go…this is not helping that want! 🙂
I LOVE Vegas! It's my hubby's "happy" place 🙂 As soon as he is working again we are booking a trip!

I've actually never been to Vegas, but after reading this, I feel like I have!
Nice job, Tonya!
And now I want to go to Vegas!
Very fun! DH loves Vegas. We haven't been since the kiddos were born, so I think I'm going to try to sneak away with him there for his 40th.

And now I really want to go to Vegas! Good thing it's on the other side of the country!!
Calling hubs right now to start planning a trip. 🙂
This is so ironic b/c I was in Vegas a few weeks ago, and just had a dream about it earlier this week—which I wrote about in MY post today for the Red Dress prompt!! This is my first visit here, and I'm following you now. Happy Friday, and I loved this–especially "winner winner, chicken dinner" (one of my favorite lines ever)
Oh how fun! You definitely capture it!
I love the pace of this piece, it was overwhelming in exactly the way that Vegas is with the lights, sounds and emotions. "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" Perfectly captures the wild absurdity of that crazy little town.
Very descriptive, it's like I was there. Love it. Great job on this prompt!
Awesome! You painted Vegas perfectly, at least what I've read, seen on TV and heard from friends since I have never been. One day I'll get there, have to go at least once right?!
I love Vegas! It's true one night is enough… but by the third night I'm ready for peace, quiet, and my own bed.
Great job! It's Vegas, baby – VEGAS! You're so money!
Very nicely executed. :o)
I heart Vegas so much! Gotta get a trip planned this year already with the girls. We should go again together with our friends. We've only been that one time together with mom and dad and it wasn't exactly like our typical Vegas trips.
How fun was that to read! Haven't been to Vegas in forever …. ahhh.
I'm a day late getting here but man, now I want to catch the red-eye and go to Vegas, baby!
Great twist on the prompt! I loved how it flowed…
