Som's Bachelorette Party

It's my soon to be sis-in-law's bachelorette weekend party in Sin City!  I was able to get away for two days and one night to join all the girl fun!  I flew in with Patty, Grace and met up with Joanne at MaCarren airport.  The mommy's all arrived the 2nd day when most of the single ladies started on Friday!  We just couldn't part with our babies for that long.  Too bad we missed some of the Friday night fun but I'm sure we'll make up for it today!  When we arrived we made it just in time for brunch at Tableau with all the girls at The Wynn where we were staying.  Can you believe we sat right next to Mr. Wynn himself?  His face looked very plastic.  You should have seen the service for him too.  Wish we were served in that manner.  Brunch was very nice.  Afterwards we had a little free time before we met up at the spa.  We all got pampered in their pools and got massages!  It was wonderful to be able to relax like that!  I so needed it!  Most of us got showered and did our hair there so it wouldn't be so crowded in the rooms.  There was 14 of us ladies so that would have gotten tough in the rooms if we had to do it all at once.  

Here we all are with some drinks by bartender Joanne to kick off the evening!  Cheers to the soon-to-be-bride!  I can already tell it's going to be fun evening!  All of her friends are so nice!
This is really the only big shot we got with the whole group at Fix a restaurant at Bellagio.  Really yummy food that her Maid of Honor Joanne and Bridesmaid Cora arranged, they did a fantastic job all weekend!  Everything was dialed in!  Don't we all look like a sorority?  haha!  After dinner we headed to Camarmel Ultralounge for a few drinks. Can't believe the hook ups we got with drinks all weekend.  I felt like we didn't have to pay for anything!  Nice to be a girl! 

Here are the mommies that flew in together, Patty and Grace!  We had  a blast together, it was really good for us to get away since we never do!  I don't think we'll have another opportunity like this again since Som is the last we know to get married that we're this close to celebrate!
Joanne the MOH, Som, bride-t0-be, me and Cora, one of the bridesmaids.  The other two in the wedding are from Thailand so they couldn't be here but will be here for the big wedding day!  All these pictures are from dinner.  There's more but I just couldn't post it all.  After dinner and the lounge we headed to Chippendale's as a silly fun surprise for Som.  It was good fun and entertaining.  Got a lot of laughs in!  Then it was an evening of clubs and dancing.  We had some really fun experiences that I doubt I'll ever see again in my lifetime so I'm glad I did it!  We couldn't believe we were in Vegas and didn't gamble hardly at all and stayed out till 4am!  Shocking that we were able to party it up like that!  We'll have to tell you the stories later....don't forget to ask about the VIP set up and the guys raining money! The next morning was just lunch on Som, so sweet of her!  Then we all parted ways checked out and headed to the airport for home!  Thanks girls for setting up such a fun and memorable weekend for my soon to be sis and all her friends!  She's got great girlfriends for sure!  I did miss my family though and so excited to come home to them!  Muah!!!
