Highlights from Vegas

What a trip!! I can't believe I'm already back home again. It all went so quickly as it was just a whirlwind of activity. I'd be blogging forever if I attempted to share all that went on, but here are a few of the highlights.

Thursday

On Thursday my boyfriend and I took the shuttle to the Vegas strip to check out some of the attractions. It was a beautiful day but HOT! Over 100 degrees out and sunny, but what do you expect when you're in the desert, right?

The shuttle dropped us off in the middle of the strip and we headed towards Mandalay Bay to see the Shark Reef Exhibit. Along the way we stopped at several casinos and shops including New York New York where we purchased a cool levitating card trick (I wonder if I’ll be able to master it?) at Houdini’s Magic Shop and took the tour through the M&M store where we got to experience what it’s like to be manufactured into the tasty chocolate treat.

Back out in the sun again, we stopped for a few minutes at the fountain in front of Caesar’s Palace. I dipped my arms in the refreshing water. I hope the gods didn’t mind too much.

We finally made it to Mandalay Bay and the exhibit was very interesting. Although I generally prefer mammal exhibits, seeing the sharks, giant sea turtles, and the sawfish was pretty cool. I couldn’t get good shots of them as it was too dark. I did get a picture of this alligator chilling out and of one of the stingrays we pet at the touch pool.

Since we had several hours to wait until the next shuttle came, we continued our tour of the strip. Oh, what I would have done for a giant bottle of Coca-Cola like this one! I wonder if it comes in diet?

We caught one of the water shows at the Bellagio. Absolutely amazing and beautiful. I could feel tears well in my eyes and despite the extreme heat, goose bumps covered my arms as the music swelled to a crescendo and the water crashed like thunder.


After our seven hour trek, I was so happy to board our return shuttle. Sitting felt like heaven! Back at the Suncoast, we met up with David Pierson and Dr. and Veronica Daniels of The Spanking Couple as they enjoyed a late dinner. We chatted happily for a little while and then all headed up to rest before facing the big day ahead.

Friday

I was scheduled to shoot with The Spanking Couple for a real discipline scene around noon. After getting dressed and ready, I nervously awaited the phone call to ask me to report to their room and receive my punishment. Cat-like, I sat in a sunny spot gazing out at the landscape hoping to calm the butterflies that were doing double time in my tummy.


Even though you’d think this would all be old hat to me by now, I still get nervous every time I shoot and as this was discipline to be given for a real offense, it served to intensify the feeling. It was almost a relief when the time finally came. I made my confessions to The Daniels and was spanked and counseled as tears rolled down my cheeks. My nerves were gone for the moment and I felt a thousand times better.

Later that evening, Chloe arrived and we headed for a pre-party gathering in an amazing suite. Somehow we ended up spending most of the time with a small group that gathered in one of the bathrooms where we chatted about some unusual and eye-popping topics. We also played in the tub. Sierra was the first to jump in.


Then we decided the edge was a perfect height to administer a spanking.


Someone suggested we run the bath water and all jump in together, but since the Vendor’s Fair was scheduled for immediately afterwards, we opted to pass.

As the party finished up, I scurried back to get dressed and head over to the ballroom to help set up the Punished Brats table. Dressed in our schoolgirl uniforms (after all, it is back to school time), Beverly and I laid out the stacks of DVDs, free postcards, and copies of the Philly Edge magazine and hung the awesome banner Bev made.

The crowd began to file into the room and Chloe joined us at the table.

I got the chance to at least briefly meet up with some old friends including Niki Flynn, HH, Kailee, Erica Scott, Bailey, Clare, Chelsea, and Dallas and meet Emily Jane and Katy Rose whom I’d only corresponded with via email before. I really wish we could have spent more time chatting and catching up but everyone was being pulled in a zillion different directions.

Happily, I also had the opportunity to say hello to many familiar friendly faces from previous SL parties and fellow members of the HappyTails and SL bulletin boards and meet lots of new people and site members. I also got to meet Todd & Suzy of the American Spanking Society blog and squealed with delight as I finally got to put faces to the names and give them each a big hug.

David007 came prepared with a giant bag of bubblegum knowing that the way to a pixie’s heart is sugar!

Of course, there was a little price to pay for it. LOL!


Beverly, Chloe, and I played with quite a few people that night and when my boyfriend came back with a number of new toys ...



he of course had to try them out on me right away. Chloe found this all very amusing, so I decided to do a little test driving of my own.


But Chloe got her revenge. The brat.


Beverly played it safe and spanked Chloe's teddy bear, Junior, knowing he wouldn't seek revenge.


Magic Steve stopped by and performed a few spanking magic tricks for us including one called the spanking leprechaun. I have no idea how he did it, but he sure got that leprechaun to light a fire on our buns!



After we packed up and changed out of our uniforms, we grabbed a bite to eat at the cafe and stopped in at The Spanking Couple's suite party. It was quite and affair that was thrown by the Daniels, but you wouldn't expect less from this classy couple.

Saturday

On Saturday my boyfriend and I along with Chloe, her boyfriend Herb, and David Pierson headed back to the strip. We were hoping Beverly could join us as well, but she had a shoot scheduled with The Spanking Couple that afternoon and wasn't able to make it.

Chloe and I were decked out as the Troublemint Twins. She was Little Miss Trouble and I was Little Miss Naughty. Where else but Vegas can you do that without causing anyone to so much as bat an eye?

And let's just say we lived up to the names.

One of our goals for this trip to the strip was to ride the roller coaster at New York New York.


I'd tried to convince my boyfriend to go with me on it the other day, but he said no way, no how. Thankfully Trouble was up for it. They must have known we were coming though as the line seemed to pause for an extra long time as we were stuck in the corner of the queue.


Finally it was our turn and we screamed our heads off as the coaster zoomed up, down, around, and back again.



On our way out, we played Whack-A-Mole and my boyfriend won a cute toy puppy for me. David was then very sweet and got one for Chloe. :)


It was another full day on the strip as there is so much to see and do. We arrived back at the Suncoast just in time to get cleaned up and ready for the evening's main event, the Shadow Lane dinner dance. As we were in line geting our food, we were dubbed the Brat Pack in keeping with the Casino Royale theme. Too funny.



Chloe, Herb, and Beverly made plans to head back to the strip for some more naughty fun, but my boyfriend and I had plans for some naughty fun of our own (including the use of our newly purchased toys and a very stingy hairbrush Brad D. had loaned us) as it was our last night in Vegas together.

Unfortunately we had to head for the airport early this morning as my boyfriend had to get back in time for work. I wish we could have stayed even just one more day. I'm very bummed that I didn't get to visit longer with Erica Scott other than to say hello, hug, and simultaneously knock over several drinks that were perched on the Punished Brats vendor table. I'm also pouting that I missed out on getting to hang with Niki and HH. We had hoped to meet up, but missed each other last night, and a delightful text message from HH that wasn't received until I was sitting at the airport departure gate made for an added pang of disappointment. Still, over all it was a fantastic time which is why I wish it could have gone one just a little longer.

A big thank you to Eve and Tony for putting together this fantastic gathering and many, many thanks to David Pierson for making it possible for Beverly, Chloe, and me to attend and join in on all the fun!!
