Gentlemen,
Contrary to the common folklore of 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas', I am making an attempt to word my thoughts and experiences in the wonderful city of Las Vegas, Nevada. Those who think that I am committing sacrilege to the age old adage that I have mentioned above, may please close/delete this mail. The rest who venture into reading the rest of this, have fun and take it all in the Vegan spirit. Else, just grow up asshole!
So there we were, as the vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin would have put it, 7 mavericks from various parts of the world, most of them who were highly seasoned sinners, ended up in the city of vices – Las Vegas. If we were to have Indian names [not East Indian!!], they would be
cup cake :- A born asshole from what he claims to be the yuppiest city in India
fat bastard:- A nigger who think he has the final comment on all matters…yeah right!
moon beam:- A calm satiric who usually hammers it real hard when the iron is hot
hairy ass:- This dud[not a spelling error for dude…] has hair in all the wrong places man…
ball sack:- A very powerful soul who has a very commanding head…just that it fires at all the wrong times
horse spit :- Thinks he is the coolest dude…but we know better
jaguar paw :- That's me !!
It was a sober Friday evening when the 3 mavericks from the Starbucks state decided to head to sin city via the cheapest airline ever – SouthWest[they do not charge for check in baggages!! ]. A couple of other mavericks flew in from the Taxless state and another joined us from the east coast. I know I mentioned 7 initially and I have only covered 6 so fat. That is because the last and the most adventurous maverick joined us the next day from the Starbucks state and guess what…that ass almost got a better deal from SouthWest..dammits. The trip was very exciting for jaguar paw since it was his first day to sinning school and just like a kid leaving to his first day of kindergarten, he was all excited and had almost made very detailed videos on what he thought could/would be done in sin city J Little did he know what was in stock for him…
The air hostesses in the airline looked way sexier that day. The human mind is a very powerful tool man. The roasted peanuts never looked more curvier before, neither did the apple juice have so high levels of intoxication. We had a stopover at Reno which was like the door step to Vegas, and finally after 168 minutes of exhilarating travel, we blessed sin city. The sight from the air itself was indeed breath taking man. I mean, the total area till the Vegas air space is pitch black and suddenly the whole place is like Christmas day. Mavericks, you guys remember how we talked abt our special moments, this was one. You will find more as we proceed ;)
The airport was pretty decent and did not actually portray the sinful world that we had stepped into. Was quite surprising that way but still I should say it had its fair share of trailers for what was in store for us. We all met up at the lobby and proceeded to our palatial accommodation. It was truly a castle, atleast looked like one for sure. The castle of the state of Excalibur. Jaguar paw was all in awe during the short trip from the airport to the castle. He hadn't seen such brightly lit streets ever since he left Times Square in New York and Thrissur City, Kerala. As soon as we entered the strip where our castle was built, it was all bright and just getting brighter. We got to see the castles of our envious neighboring provinces kike the MGMs, the Luxors and the what not. The chariot that we took us to the castle, finally stopped at the gates and we entered the Excalibur. It had its casino right in front and I should say that for someone who had seen just a few 10's of slot machines and a couple of roulette tables and another couple of black jack tables in his entire life, it was indeed a jaw dropping sight. This was another special moment And this was just one of the pretty big casinos around. There were bigger sharks in the sea..so said the seasoned sinners to jaguar paw. All the other mavericks had their been-there-done-that sneer on their faces and it was more than obvious and visible!
As we walked towards the host or the guy who would show us our rooms, I was able to sight a lot of characters I had casted in my videos that I mentioned before. It was like de javu and I already began to like the place. We reached our rooms and had a quick status check on how each one of us were doing, changed into our royal attire and immediately left for a hunting trip, and what better game than hunting for a thick skinned Rhino! The target was set and all guns loaded up to the brim…or shall I say fully re-loaded J Upon reaching the Rhino, jaguar paw realized that in Vegas, the rhino is indeed just skin and flesh – literally. Entering this place was another special moment. It was one of those places where one could find the long lost art of hospitality and courtship and in general it was a very 'warm' place that give a very 'warm' feeling. I must add that there were a lot of bushes in that rhino infested forest. The mavericks drank and made merry. The more the merrier was the slogan of that night. The hunters hit their targets and the night just blanketed the blood and gore that resulted from the hunt. The mavericks emerged victorious from the hunt even though it took some convincing to get a couple of mavericks to stop hunting coz they failed to realize that very quick and repeated re-loads would eventually be harmful to the guns! The wait was indeed another special moment!
There is no point in trying to divide the events in a day to day manner coz in Vegas, there is no distinction of day or night. Its just when you are in your senses and when you aren't. I know some blokes who can very well fake this one too! Anyways, we retreated to our humble castle and rested our bodies for a few hours. As soon as the senses came back, jaguar paw joined the rest in order to try his hand in risk taking investments or what the seasoned sinners call as gambling. He indeed had an awesome start with a pretty neat profit. Little did he know that it was a very well concocted plan that would squeeze out all the juices from him in the days to come. The first win was indeed another special moment. After bleeding a little, we left for a troll outside the safe walls of our castle. The rest of the mavericks were always interested in letting jaguar paw their know how on the various facts about the places we could see and that was indeed a very nice gesture, even though at times it kinda evolved into a cock fight, if you know what I mean, as in who knew better. But I always would like to see the good in things happening around me and I still say that it was a very generous gesture from all the seasoned mavericks. Thank you guys. We went into most of the other casinos and did try out our luck and I am happy to say that we did have mixed results rather than total annihilation.
We returned to our castle for a short break and then once again draped ourselves with princely clothes and went in search of more game. And praise the Lord, we all did get game. Jaguar paw was indeed excited to get his first blind kiss!!! Imagine…this guy was totally lucky and it was as if the Devil liked him that day and showered him with his wishes, or curses. Jaguar paw was still trying to cover the entire casino, trying to satisfy his thirst for curiosity and he wandered away to the deep labyrinths of the Excalibur when he came across a bunch of highly seasoned hard core sinners who really were very attractive and one of the more adventurous sinners in that group made a leap towards jaguar paw and he was just taken by surprise. But I must say that he held fort pretty well. That was indeed a special moment!!!
Upon reuniting with the rest of the gang, we all went ahead to other casinos and needless to say, jaguar paw was indeed on cloud 99. Eventually we hit our retreats and rested our bodies. Upon regaining our senses, we decided to take jaguar paw to the other end of the strip where the 'bigger sharks' were. Indeed, they were bigger…much bigger. I just couldn't imagine the thoughts that were in the minds of those people who were behind creating these concrete/aquatic marvels. That was another special moment. The aquatic theatrics was indeed mind blowing. Walking about at these places was in itself a tiring task to the mind. How many sights would one like to remember. Each moment was competing with the next, always trying to outdo the previous one. The people that occupied the streets were just mind blowing. I would like to thank each and every one of them present in the streets there for making so many memorable sights and sounds that I would remember for a very long time. For a man who has seen a fair amount of skin in his life so far, I must say that this is indeed outstanding. From a more sensual perspective, I must say that the samples of human flesh and blood that I got to see in the streets of Vegas was indeed of very high standard if not the best. May be, it is always present around me even before Vegas, but it was never so evident at any point of time. Lust was indeed the sin for the moment.
We had a quick visit to the downtown area and jaguar paw would like to thank the rest of the mavericks who helped complete his wish to visit the Las Vegas downtown. It was nothing close to the strip but it had its own sinful charm to it and I am glad I could get to experience it firsthand. Indeed another moment to capture. We retreated to our castle for some more rest. This is when a few events unraveled that caused our high spirits to be dampened thanks to the spirits in our bellies. But I was really happy to see that we all took it in good stead and still got together well all along. A series of special moments there even though unsolicited! Anyways that led to guzzling of more spirits and inturn more bonding. On a tangent, I should mention that I have noticed and used the fact that spirits are one of the best, if not the best components that trigger male bonding!! And that is what I could witness at that hour. Special moment right there.
The next day or rather the next sensible session was to be our last in Vegas town and hence we kinda brought down the tempo but Vegas had its own pace all along and it never ceased to come down and that is a surprising fact that I observed. I had never been to a town that was always so high on itself…the people always in high spirits(literally too !)…the streets always bustling with activity…To be honest there are a few cities in my country, India where these can be observed, but there is a very visible tension that is mostly, if not always, underlying the mood which was not the case in Vegas. On the whole, this was just a pilot trip of Vegas for jaguar paw. He got to learn the endless possibilities that this city had to offer and if treated with some respect and wisdom, it could shower him with endless joy and if not careful, it could just ruin his life as well. Jaguar paw has decided that he would definitely come back to the city of vices and explore its innumerous possibilities and he declares that it is indeed a city that one needs to visit in a lifetime. The place, the people, the buildings, the events..everything induces a sense of higher energy and spirit in oneself and that is an incredible feeling and a very special moment in itself.
Once again, gentlemen, thank you so much for making this a once in a lifetime trip for jaguar paw. Hope you all have a better life today and from here on.
Signing off…
'Shak man'
Celebrate life!
