{LAS} freaking {VEGAS}...

So... in moving to Utah... I have been traveling a lot. I am mainly going to CA for work. I usually fly but this time I decided to drive so that I could bring back some more of my things that are in Ca. I booked a $20 hotel room in Vegas. Not knowing Vegas very well.... I booked a room in North Las Vegas which is apparently the worse of the two evils. I just wanted a cheapo room because it was just me and I didn't really care.


Well I pull up to my hotel and "gulp" hold my breath. I figure if I can make it into the hotel without getting robbed, raped or murdered.... I'd be good! I had to go into this GHETTO parking garage and carry my luggage down three flights of stairs because the elevator didn't work. In the rush.... to avoid the creepers I tripped and lost hold of my luggage and watched it tumble down all the stairs. SO if there were any creepers looking for a helpless girl....HERE I was. I made it in! PHEW! I got my key and held my breath walking down the hall. I felt like I was in a horror movie. All the bottoms of the doors were beat up and the paint was all faded... like someone was trying to get in. I open my door and it wasn't any better..... I had an door linking me to the other room....creepy! After I bolted that I went into the restroom to find LARGE muddy boot prints all over my floor and in the tub! SO I called the front desk and she told me to leave the room and they would clean it. UM, there was NO way I was going to wander the halls! She admitted their mistake and sent me to their "SUITE" (picture below).

I got escorted there by a large scary man and locked the door the second I got in there! As I am settling in I notice....someones Togo box full of food on my table and the trash can full of trash. I immediately think.... OMG they put me in someones room! I call again and she says NOPE apparently it just wasn't cleaned all the way. SO after calling my parents... and them FREAKING out... I check out of the hotel. On my way out she actually gives me a business card...and then to top things off I get propositioned by a prostitute! WTH!

It was a long night .... I checked into Circus Circus which was alright! I went for a stroll to get something to eat and lost track of time in Ross. When I left.... the parking lot was empty...EXCEPT for one creepy old man that followed me for about 3 blocks making "MOANING" noises at me! WTH!

OMGosh Julie!! I am glad you are okay, and didn't get attacked by any weirdos! It reminds me of when J.R. and I were on our honeymoon in vegas, and I was being cheap and wanted to save money cause there was a convention in town so all the bigger hotels had hiked their rates clear up so we stayed at "The Happy Inn" It's across the street from the Mandalay Bay.... it's not so happy.... lol!
