Vegas Punk House

Anyone who knows me well, knows that Halloween is my absolute most favourite day of the year. It’s more important than my birthday or any other holiday. Got it? Okay. So I have been working the last four Halloween’s and this year decided to go to Vegas and do it big.

What better way to accommodate this passion than to stay in Fat Mike’s (NOFX) mini mansion just blocks from the strip. I recommend this place to anyone that is traveling in a group of 8-12 or are staying their for a longer period of time. For legal reasons, the web-site states that you have to rent it out for a minimum of one month, but if you’re interested in a shorter stay just e-mail them and let them know.

The house is located in a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighbourhood, so after a night of hitting the strip, you can go back and relax in your own space. It’s much cheaper than any hotel I’ve stayed in on previous Vegas trips. Just make sure your friends don’t bail on you last minute or you’ll end up paying more for their share ahhhem.

Equipped with a room with “punk beds” which sleep 9, sunk-in living room, poker room, a machine that dispenses Budweiser and PBR cans, pool table room, fully loaded kitchen, kidney shaped pool, jacuzzi, 9 hole putting range, BBQ, and endless original show posters that mirror as wall paper.

You also get to meet Greg who will show you around and tell you stories about Fat Mike parties and how a bunch of French Canadians got tied to the tiki hut poles by strippers and the born again christian neighbours called the cops. Righttttt.

And…..you get a complimentary 24 of PBR waiting for you in the fridge.

Preliminary costume stages.

Fremont

I ordered a large, and this is what I got. I also have to mention that there was a restaurant off Fremont with a huge sign in blinding yellow and pink neon lights: 250LBS OR OVER EATS FREE, DEEP FRIED TWINKIES & BACON BUTTER MILK SHAKE ONLY $1.99. Wow!

I found a gift for Dave on the floor. He was terrified of getting an STD but agreed to take a quick photo.

This I want.

Driving through Red Rock Canyon

The final product, and unfortunately, the only photo I have of my outfit :(

Oh yeah, there’s a pinball machine to.

Roxane: the unidentified frozen mixture in the freezer.

Dream bath tub.

The extremely heavy, mysteriously locked chest on the floor of the bedroom. I have valid reason to believe that there was a lot of coke and dildo’s in there.
