Because I'm still sad over the loss of my dear memory cards, this post will be limited in words. I don't have it in me to tap away on the 'board. Oceana was one of the many open air restaurants at our hotel, Dreams. It served mainly food of the sea kind and also other types of bar food. I had a chicken burger and some onion rings. I don't remember how it tasted. I guess that means it wasn't so great.
Like my twitter states: woe is me ... where on earth could my memory card be ... *sigh*. I'm sad. I lost some memory cards Friday night while at a wedding rehearsal thing. At a church! I'm hoping that an honest religious person finds it and turns it in. I really really hope that I'm re-united with them soon. Due to my recent bout of super laziness, I have failed to upload pics from one of the currently lost memory cards. There were about four hundred or so images. They were pics from Via Colori, my friend's company X-Mas party at the Aquarium and just all these outings with friends. It's all gone. I feel so empty inside as write and list all these happenings that I won't have pictures for. So, it was only appropriate that I find slow songs that match my mood. I decided on some of my faves from my fave Cranberries album. I love the Irishness that is Dolores O'Riordan. In middle school, she was mos def at the top of my fave musical peoples.

So much has changed since I last visited Las Vegas. The main thing I noticed was that the Aladdin Hotel is no longer there. In it's place is now the new Planet Hollywood. We actually went to Prive that night, which is the club at Planet Hollywood. It wasn't that great. But at least we didn't have to pay to get in. Going to Vegas with a bunch of girls is mos def a lot different than going with any dudes in your group. Club promoters are all over the Vegas strip, in search of groups of girls. They all want the same thing, for us to go to the club that they're promoting. I guess the more girls they get in, the more moolah they make. There's a mini-mall right next door. It used to be called Desert Passage of Aladdin but it's been changed to Miracle Mile Shops. What was once a blah shopping place, it has been transformed into something more modern and trendy. One VERY important store that has remained is the ABC store. It's a little mini mart/gift shop. More importantly, it's the place where you can buy bottles of LIQUOR. The Miracle Mile also has a The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. So good!

Saturday morning, the group of gals split up into three groups. The first group woke up the earliest and headed on out to play some games and shop around. Surprisingly enough, the bride was part of that group. She didn't fare as well the next morning though. The second group to depart from slumber included me and two others. The third group woke up much, much later. They were the ones who over-danced themselves the night before. We got ready and went on over to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville to gas up on some unwholesome food. The thing about being in Vegas is that eating will always be expensive. There's really not much to choose from. You have a whole bunch of fine dining establishments, each hotel will have a buffet place and then there a handful of small eateries. You're almost guaranteed to have to wait in some sort of line. Yes, Vegas is THAT packed. As much as I eat, there's no way I can handle a buffet for the first meal of the day. Luckily, She-Transam suggested Margaritaville, one her faves. We shared some wings and also ordered our own thing. I had a turkey burger which wasn't bad, but it wasn't $10.95 good. The crave-worthy item will mos def have to be those super yummy wings! It's the Jamaica Mistaica Wings. Man they were so good! It's tossed in a habanero-honey wing sauce. I never order wings unless I'm specifically at a wing place. But I would certainly order them here. It was either super good, or I was just super hungry. Maybe both!
