I can hear John Waters on the television in the next room and it seems like a really interesting show…something I’d really like to watch. Unfortunately, right now I’m crouched on the floor of the restroom with my new porcelain friend. How did I end up in this situation? Perhaps I should reexamine my evening and use my detective skills to figure it out.

We start out with a drink at the Griffin. The bartendress pours me an entire shot when I ask to sample “just a tiny bit” of the unusual vodka that I’ve never seen before.

benji-menendez-majestuosoAs part of a promotion for a new limited edition cigar, “The Benji Menendez Partagas Master Series Majestuoso,” I got an invite and something to share with “While Las Vegas Sleeps…” readers.

The makers of this cigar, which are limiting production to 5000 boxes, are doing a small, multi-city tour to promote the cigar.  I don’t smoke myself, but if you do, you could decide for yourself the quality of these cigars tomorrow night for a cocktail hour at The Foundation Room on top of Mandalay Bay from 6-8pm.  There will be free drinks and free cigars for everyone to sample.  I might be there for the drinks ;)

The five girls that are about to get into my taxi don’t look like part of a bachelorette group (mainly because I don’t see any penis-shaped accessories), but they give off that bachelorette vibe. And they’re certainly loud enough. I immediately put my guard up. Many people don’t realize this, but, much like other wild creatures that you don’t want to encounter in large numbers, packs of girls in Las Vegas are dangerous. Like wolves and piranha…or Africanized bees.

87675f48efdc080bI don’t normally write to specifically plug places unless I really believe in what I’m writing and I never, ever get paid to do so. This is no different, but I really felt like this is a deal worth blogging about that they have going on over at Planet Hollywood..  …or as we locals will forever know it due to a signage malfunction while it was being redesigned: Planet Ho.

The way it works is really simple and really sweet.
