Our 1st night out in Vegas wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for our good friend Lee J and Nolan. A massive thank you to them both for sorting me out with a spot on the guest list + 11 friends to Marquee at Cosmopolitan to see Armin Van Buuren. It easily the most epic club I have ever been in. Not only was it way up inside the casino somewhere with an amazing stage set up but as you walked outside there was a huge beautiful pool with hot tubs everywhere and waterfalls etc. Not to mention the view out over Vegas! It was one of the best intros to a gig that I have seen. To say it was an eventful night is the biggest understatement. I got a JD and coke at the bar which was pretty much a tumbler of JD with a splash of coke which didn't really help the later events. One of our Australian friends got escorted out by 5 bouncers for some reason? To top it off while dancing in the crowd Laura & Stu were pick pocketed. Luckily everything was recovered at lost and found - Less the cash.
Waking up with a hangover is always fun but we powered on! We had a group trip to the trampoline place for a bit of fun and some training ready for when we get back on the slopes.
We did all the regular tourist stuff like check out the casinos and sights and the amazing shopping malls. I finally bought a new suit from the Volcom shop which I regretted not doing two years before. While wondering through the casinos with a bunch of highly intoxicated Australians we went into the Flamingo casino and stumbled upon the rarest of birds, 'The Gus Flamingo'.
As we were in front of the Bellagio we had the best seat for the fountain show. If your ever in Vegas you MUST go watch it, it was amazing!
Once again our buddy Lee introduced us to his friend Gustavo who sorted myself and Laura out with Penn & Teller tickets. It was incredible to watch, some of the tricks were mind blowing. They even shot bullets into each others mouths!!!
As part of the tickets for Penn & Teller we got free entry to the VooDoo club located on top of the Rio casino. We got a few pictures up there of the strip etc but this one just made me laugh. Baby got back.
Finished off with a bit of blackjack at Circus Circus and made a few bucks.
Yep a king and a queen split and met with another king and queen. $$$$$
It was a pretty eventful trip and on the way home we we took a detour through Death Valley to see the sand dunes below sea level. I actually have clothes on its just the bush hiding them.
It would have been rude to drive past the Nevada fireworks warehouse and not stop in for a little shopping.
Ill have some more ski edits and footage soon for you to check out too. I have been trying all sort of stuff the past few days and got some amazing shots - misty 450 onto boxes, triple switch ups on roller coaster boxes, stalling a roof of a house etc.
