another BFF weekend in Vegas

It’s been almost a year since we filmed Paris Hilton’s My New BFF Season 2, so our very own Stephen Hampton decided we were in need of a reunion. Overall, I had a blast, because Vegas is always wild, but there was some drama, like always. Almost everyone came, including Me, Nicole, Stephen, Kaitlin, Kristen, Elena, Amanda, and Desi, then we also had our other friends Daniel (Stephen’s bff) and Donna come.

Nicole, Kaitlin, and I drove in the same car since we were coming from L.A., Stephen, Daniel and Donna drove from Upland, and the other BFFs flew in. When we got to the hotel, we all took a picture because there is no trip without a twitpic!

Elena, Nicole and I went shopping and Caesar's forum shops immediately after we all met up and said hi to each other, we couldn't help it, we wanted to go to MAC..

Nicole and I roomed in the same room and our bathroom had every possible thing in it, we had bottles of perfume, tubs of tanning lotion and bronzer, and every cosmetic item you could think of.

After Nicole & I got ready, we were wondering where everyone went, but since we were slow, they went to dinner without us! So we just went back to the room and just chilled. Then they got us and we headed over to Prive where my Vegas promoter friends took care of us and we felt super VIP!

After some dancing and having some tasty drinks, some of the BFFs starting getting too wild so we got kicked out. I said thank you to my friends and left the club. Then only 4 of us ended up in the cab I was riding. I felt like 2 am was a bit early for Vegas so Elena, Nicole, Donna, and I headed over to one of my favorite clubs that I always go to which is XS @ Encore.

I had totally wished Stephen came with us, but I think some of the BFFs were tired. :(

So it was just us four girls at XS and we had like 10 tables for us, it was wild night waiting to happen!

After a struggling morning, and a crazy breakfast and Giorgio's in Mandalay Bay some of the BFFs decided to do separate things due to differences, lol.

A good friend of mine was having his birthday party @ haze @ aria so Nicole & I decided to go there. Aria is the newest hotel built in Vegas and it was phenomenal. There were performers there that were ridiculously talented and crazy looking, and best of all, the guest performer was Timbland! Of course our table was right next to his!!

One of my high school friends from Torrance went to UNLV and now works for Haze @ Aria and I was so excited to run into her, everyone meet Stella! I hope to see more of her real soon since I will be going back to that amazing hotel soon!

Towards the end of the night, Timbaland performed, and I was so stoked. But I was even more happy when someone else came out!......

It was a complete surprise that lil kim showed up. Nicole and I totally flowed to her, she rapped "The Jump Off" "Put Your Lighters Up" two of the best songs by Lil Kim. I had a blast!
