"What is the most embarrasing Las Vegas moment

This week's "Topic Of The Week" comes from Cindy:

"What is the most embarrasing moment that has ever happened to you in Las Vegas"!

Note from Steve:
I know this is a few days late :( . I will post the next TOTW next Thursday and not another one until I get back from Las Vegas.

I am a huge Diana Ross fan. Years ago, when she was appearing at Circus Maximus, there is a segment whereby she goes into the audience while singing "Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand". As she left the stage, it appeared that she was coming right for me. My wife kept saying - "she's coming here, she's coming here". Well, she was coming to me. The closer she got, the whiter I got, to the point of almost passing out. Then, she was right in front of me, and I completely froze - couldn't talk, couldn't sing with her, couldn't move any part of my body.

As embarrassed as I was, to this day, I still cannot, and probably will never forgive myself. I guess you could say that "You Can't Hurry Love".

Two years ago while visiting the Hard Rock, I went and got the famous six pack coupons from the slot card counter. My wife and friends were shopping in the logo store. I was reading the coupons and walked right into the glass wall thinking it was the door. As if that wasn't bad enough, I broke my Raybans that I had hanging from my neck. From then on I try to pay more attention when walking and reading at the same time. Especially after a couple days of living it up in Vegas!

My Las Vegas most embarrassing moment occurred on my last trip on March 11th, 2006. While enjoying the concert (6 beers) I turned to dance with my lovely wife on one of our favorite songs. The next thing I remember I was falling backwards onto the row below me! Luckily nobody got hurt besides my ego.:D

[gratianus]

It was late, I'd been playing BJ for hours (though not drinking), and just as I stepped up to an opening at a craps table, the dice were pushed--I assumed--to me. I immediately grabbed them, threw them, and then realized that they had been meant for the guy to my right. As it was, I had grabbed the come-out roll, and the house told me it was my roll. After profuse apologies to all, especially the guy next to me, I sweated out an OK roll. Just imagine what would have happened had I strung out the roll, never repeating a number, and with money everywhere proceded to toss a seven? I think I might have died. As it was, I died a bit from embarassment.

[Boston_Bill]

I've told this story before, I was at that lousy stip joint downtown talking to two women who didnt work at the club. The dancers were getting annoyed I wasnt tipping or getting lap dances and it ended up with Metro coming to calm things down between the dancers and the ladies I was talking to.
I ended up giving a statement to the Metro cop on Fremont Street in the middle of the afternoon with everyone watching.

[L2K2S2]

This actually happened in Laughlin and to this day still sends my two best friends into hysterics. We had been playing blackjack for hours and were ready to leave the Pioneer. But nature was calling...loudly. So off I hustle, no make that run. Eyes focused, run, run, run. As I was coming out of the stall (I'm a female) I finally look up and "what the heck, what are all those men doing facing the wall". You guessed it...in my haste I ran into the men's facilities.
I guessed I let out a less than subtle gasp and several pairs of eyes looked over their shoulder. And I proceed to say the dumbest thing that could possibly come out of my mouth..."don't worry guys I'm a nurse". As if nurses run around checking out the men's facilities.
Lord forbid I should now make a quick exit. No, in my haste I proceed to slam into the only good looking guy in that entire casino making his way into the john. He looks up at the signage, down at me, up, down. Uhh your right, I'm wrong. Bye.
I come out and my two friends are convulsed in laughter. They had seen me run in but never come out. And for 3 days every time that particular gentleman saw me he also laughed. Somehow I don't think that's how Paris Hilton makes an impression on the male species!

---------------
Many many years ago my very first trip to Vegas I had a few drinks - never playing craps before watched for a few rolls placed a few bets - and like the real shooters I put a chip on the table when a 5 was the point and asked for a hard 5 - dam near laughed me out of Vegas!

Well never forget that embarrasment -

1st of all.. the above bathroom mistake.. been there done that!

but one day as i was leaving the Strat's parking garage, as i was circling to the exit, i noticed how beautiful the mountains to the west were. i kept noticing each time i circled and at some point i realized that the view wasn't changing.......i was just repeating the same circle over and over again.

now i assume NOONE was watching this ! both "errors" prove that 2 glasses of wine make me goofy.

[staceydaze]

It involves my husband, a maid, and an unlatched hotel room at the Mirage...:eek:

[jslocke52]

To L2K2S2, a woman who used the men's room by mistake, do not be concerned! It is us men who risk drastic consequences if we enter the ladies' room by mistake. Therefore, upon seeing a woman in the restroom, men are probably more concerned that they have entered the ladies' room by mistake than anything else. Other men and myself have seen bold women use the men's facilities deliberately when there was a long line of women waiting to use the ladies' room. I do know of one man who went into an empty ladies' room by mistake and was in a stall when he heard women's voices. He wound up sitting there very quietly until after all the women had left, and then slipping out of the room, very quickly! He wasn't seen leaving. It was a long time before he told about his experience.

[ugenetoo]

im posting this for my wife.
five years ago we arrived in vegas for the second time and decided to get some summer clothes as we had packed light. at one of the shopping malls on the south end of the strip, we were running to catch the bus when she fell,tripping on a curb stop in the parking lot. i knew she had hurt herself, but i had no idea! she had broken both wrists and had multiple fractures. 8 days later we were finally on a plane headed for home after the worst vacation of our lives. i dont know if this qualifies as embarrassing, but it sure was a trip.

[diana-al]

the security came & it all got straightened around-too funny!!!!!!!

:eek: My Favorite Date spot is > Las Vegas < So when I met this Tanned , 10 plus , dark eyed Femme Fatale , from Cuba , at the Riviera Hotel Poolside , We hit it off immediately and passionately.. After a few Cuba Libres and CoCoNut Frapes each , we enjoyed a fine dinning repaste at "Cristophers" in the Hotel proper . The Lobster and Prime Rib is always a great choce . My Lolita enjoyed her salads and deserts as well . Then we planned a trip to "24" at MGM , so we both needed a change into party garb and a trip to our respective rooms was in order . Yes , I chose a Navy Sport Jacket and hip hugging WHITE Trousers . I looked GoooD !! and was in 7th Heaven moving toward a Hot and furious evening of party , dance and Backseat Cab Smooching ... Lolita and I were to meet in the Casino Bar for a pre party immbibmence and that went well . Lolita had Stars in her eyes for Me !! WoW !! What a rush . As my last date fourtune had not quite been as rewarding , I could see that this was to be a LandMark Hookup . Yes , as we wandred out to the Taxi Stand , I felt a Strange Gurgling SomeWhere close to my Digestion Zone . Maybe , you all may have felt this Urge at one time or another ? Hmmmm . All I could think of , was my Beautiful Cocubine , to be , was happy as a Clam and she was laughing and smiling at her Good Fourtune in Meeting and Choosing ME !! HA !! The Taxi Screached to a stop , in just the right spot and the Driver Bounded out to open Lolita's door For her Ingress . It Was a Movie Picture Perfect scene . Lolita in her Body Hugging Black Sequent Skirt , Long Sleeved , Red Silk Blouse and Black Patent High Heels . ( How , does , she walk so well in those ? ) She made a gracful seating entry , so The Cabby closed her door and offered to assit me . Well , Mr. Macho DiDn't Need any help getting into the cab , So , I opened the Opposite Rear passenger Door to Join My Lolita and in anticipation of a welcoming kiss , Stepped in , with one leg extended and the other soon to follow . That is when i noticed the gurgling had transformed a full flow stream of Natual Flatulence ..... At least I thouhgt it was gas ....But Oh No , It was A full bore elimination of the days Gourmme Intakes ....I mean Sauge Gravy Express !! Indeed.. Now my Tighty Whities and Hip Huggers were doing there very best to contain the seemingly endless tide of Relief and it did seem to be working . but in the split second it took for this event to occur and the conequences of Immeadiate Crash and Burn , I told Lolita that something had come up (or down) and I needed to arrange a meet with her at the MGM and would see her there in 30 minuites or so . This did not go well at all and she Stormed out of the Cab and disappeared Back into the Casino . Well , now I needed to go back to my room Quickly and Shower and ReDress Which I did in fine fasion . You know that White and Navy Go well together , butt not with Brown Trimming ...HA .. Now , Fresh and Reloaded for Fox Hunting , I realized that I did Not Know Lolita's room Number or Real Name ? and she didn't seen to be the Casino Floor . What was I to Do ? So I sat at The Casino Bar and waited to see if she would show . And Struck up the Bartender Conversation and Lamented to him my sad story . He was very cordial and thought he knew this "Lolita" > After a little more discriptive infomation , he replied "Oh Yeah , That Girl , She is a Hooker and I had got off Cheaply . Yes I had been Conned , fell in love , Embarrased and lost a chick , all in one night at the Rivera . So What did I do about that ? Naturally I WENT TO THE CRAP TABLE . ( at least I won the cleaning bill ) and free Drinks !! HA ?

At McCarren the men's washroom is on one side of the walkway and the women's on the other, with 2 entrances to each. At other places the washroom is on one side with one end being the men's and the other the ladies. A couple of years ago after a 4 hour flight from Detroit, I rushed off the plane and directly to the washroom. Like the lady above....it was the men's. I was so embarrased. When I walked out of the washroom there was my hubby and the friends we went with laughing so hard. So now, every time we get off the plane and I head to the washroom they all stop and wait to see if I will do it again....never.

[batteryman]

hey stacydaze, i think we would like to know if you walked in on your husband and the maid, the maid walked in on you and your husband or your husband walked in on you and the maid?

[hill6]

My husband spilled an entire bloody mary on his lap while playing at the Hard Rock a few years ago. He had to go buy a new shirt and shorts. Never even tried to get the stain out (beige shorts and light colored shirt).

Still playing a the table a while later when the dealer starts talking about the guy a little while ago who spilled the whole drink on himself. We said that it was my husband. I think the dealer was a little more embarrased that my husband was for being the talk of the employees.

That was a long trip to Vegas for him. He lost every day and just about every hand. I on the other hand had great luck. Winning four of a kind on Let It Ride a few hours after hitting town and having my luck be there all week long.

[bevierose]

I didn't do anything worse than the rest of the world I suppose. I was at the slots in TI waiting for my cousin, and I simply blacked out. What happened was the drinks kept coming as I was winning, and I just don't remember the rest. My cousin told me that she called me on my cell; I picked up the cell and said I didn't know where I was. She asked me to ask someone near me where I was and they said near whatever. She came down to rescue me promptly. I leaned back and fell off the seat onto the floor. I couldn't walk at all, so a nice man from security had to help me up to the room, so she said. The next morning I had such a hangover and felt soooooo embarrassed! Sometimes you can drink 3 drinks and the 4th one just zonks you! Eek! At least I was saved and all was ok. Tee hee!

[tryon4]

Years ago we were at the Stardust Hotel in the motel section out back. We were taking an afternoon "siesta" when the maid poked through the slats in the window to look in. Wife screams:eek: and maid says"what are you doing here at this time?" )WAS SHE BLIND?????????):confused:
That was the end of romance for what was supposed to be a romanic trip.

[Aspy]

We honeymooned in LV. After an evening of playing slots and sightseeing, we went up to our room and did what couples do on their honeymoon. We then decided to go back downstairs to the casino. After several hours of playing video poker at the bar we returned to our room where I discovered that my blouse was on inside out.

[Janine926]

This happened on the plane on the way to Vegas a few years ago. I went to the back of the plane and used the restroom. I could not get out. The door would not open at all. I finally yelled and the flight attendants could hear me after a few minutes. They were yelling and asking me questions and I was yelling back because that is the only way they could hear me. I figured the whole plane could hear. They got me out with a drill after about 20 minutes and the worst part is that the person before me had stunk it up really bad.
I went back to my seat where my husband sat reading a book. He didn't even know I was gone so long and thankfully, nobody heard the situation.
I was offered a free drink but the flight attendants laughed every time they passed me. I found out by one of them that the lock had been acting funny on the flight before mine, lol.

[Tweeets]

It involves my husband, a maid, and an unlatched hotel room at the Mirage...:eek:


...and the rest of the story is? :)

[JillHawkins]

My very first trip to vegas was with an older couple, twice the age of my husband and I. We four newbies went downtown and at "Glitter Gulch", the older gentleman we were traveling with announced that he had never been to a strip club and the four of us were going in. He laid out about $60 in cover charge for us to even enter. Mid afternoon, reluctantly, we entered. His wife (my mom's age) and I were rather embarrased as it was also first time for us country hicks. Our eyes met after we were in there, and I dramatically 'rolled my eyes to heaven' and alas, my contact lens popped right out of my eye and landed on the floor! As I had failed to bring replacements on the trip, I freaked out trying to find it in the VERY darkened room. Two very kind strippers realized my problem and came to the rescue with a flashlight and kindly helped me until it was found, washed it off in a beer and re-inserted into my eye. I think our husbands were very appreciative of the extra attention I got from the gals in nothing but thongs with flashlights squatting on the floor to help me out. What sweethearts they were, in one of my more embarasing moments.

[theweave]

It involves my husband, a maid, and an unlatched hotel room at the Mirage...:eek:

Should that not read "my ex husband"????? WE WANT DETAILS DETAILS.... DON'T JUST LEAVE US HANGIN!!!!! LOL

By the way, my submssion, it didn't actually happen to me, but when my friend and I went a couple of years ago, I was leaving the room to go play some tables, she was getting ready for the pool. I left her a key on the table, and told her it was there. She said "Yes I know!" Well when I finally went back to the room, there she was sitting by the room door. Yes she forgot the key, tried to go get me, got kicked out of the casino for being in a bathing suit... tried to get me paged, I couldn't hear it in that place! So she went to the room and had sat there for over two hours waiting for me to show up... she has never liven it down!

[hchafee]

I was in Las Vegas to attend a wedding a couple of years ago. As I went to cross Las Vegas Boulevard in my wheelchair I hit a bump in the road and went flying out. While I was sitting there in the middle of the road waiting for the ambulance I looked up and there was the bride and groom standing there looking at me with shocked looks on their faces. Luckily I wasn't badly hurt just embarrassed.

[staceydaze]

I think that my posting came across incorrectly....it involved ME, my husband, an unlatched door at the Mirage, and a maid who walked in at the wrong time....

Haven't we ALL been there at one point or another???

Sorry to dissapoint...

And you are right as far as the ex-husband thing....he would haver been...

We all know that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.... until we air it here on Steve's forum....haha! Luckily we have a place to go and be ourselves without being judged!

[Jonna Weglowski]

I had the guts to ask a stripper out...gave him my #. Never heard from him. But I figure, I gave it a shot!!!!!!!!! :o

[dmanjohn2002]

[whivsiv]

Our first trip to Vegas was to get married.

We are at the courthouse getting the paperwork, and the clerk asked me where is the bride. To my shock my future wife was gone. I search around and about 5 min later found her in the front lobby.

I was her first trip to Nevada from Canada and she was not taking to the heat very well. After cooling her off we went back to the clerk who was giving me a very strange look.

But we are still happy and married.
:)

[Lackqueen]

We were with another couple & went for dinner at the Flamingo buffet. It was chilly out & I had my leather jacket with me. We got our table & headed for the buffet. After filling our plates I followed my girlfriend's husband back to our table. After a few seconds, I said "Oh my God, someone stole my jacket!!" The waitress was nearby & called a supervisor over. She asked me to come with her. On the way to where she was leading me, I noticed my husband sitting at a table eating in the next section. It was then I realized we had been sitting at the wrong table & my jacket was right where I left it. Yes, I felt like an idiot!! :rolleyes:

[Jacqui, Duskette8]

LOL This thread is brilliant! I'm trying my hardest to think of something that has happened to match all of yours!!!! :p

[Dkoehn]

It was a “girl’s trip” at least ten years ago but it's one of my favorite stories. There were 6 of us girls and one of the gals, Dawn, was about 6 months pregnant and clearly “showing”.

We were walking through the Mirage and Dawn had been drinking water in a paper cup. Were in what I call the “rain forest” area of the casino floor when the bottom of Dawn’s cup gave out and… you guessed it, without thinking she said “Oh my God, my water broke”. You could’ve heard a pin drop, everyone around us stopped in their tracks. Once Dawn realized what she had said and what others were thinking she was laughing so hard she couldn’t walk and had to sit down right there in the walkway– which attracted even more attention. :p

We all laughed so hard it hurt. We have never let her live that one down.

About a year ago, my friend Mike and I went to see Clint Holmes at Harrah's. We had really good seats in the front row just left of center stage. Clint was singing one of his songs, and I didn't think about extending my legs to relax them just when Clint was doing one of those "interact with the audience and shake some hands" during one of his songs. Clint tripped over my legs and fell on his ass right in front of me.:eek: It must have been really embarrassing for him, but I was quite embarrassed also. He stopped singing while the band was still playing and said, "It's all right man" and winked while I was just saying, "I'm really, really sorry Clint"!!!

Excellent show by the way!!!

[vegasjules]

This is actually hubby's story, but I laugh every time I think about it. We were walking into MB from the strip, and we noticed a young couple taking pictures of each other. I suggested that Joe offer to take their picture together. My husband, being the nice guy that he is, said he would. They handed him the camera and immediatly started taking off their clothes! The look on Joe's face was priceless! After they got down to a string bikini and a little speedo, it was obvious that they were into body building. It was also obvious that they didn't want just A picture. They wanted a photo shoot. After a few shots, the man jumps up on this wall. Well, the gal couldn't quite make it, and there is Joe wanting to help her, but not want to give a boost in rear to this scantily clad woman with the big boyfriend. Joe hasn't offered to take anyone's picture in a while!

[cindyinnj]

Ok, here's my most embarrassing moment in Vegas!

I was at the Danny Gans show with my hubby and my mom & dad in-law, at the Mirage, (wanting to impress my in-laws :cool: . We were so excited to see him. Our 2nd time, their 1st. The show was starting in 5 minutes, all of the sudden 4 men (in their late 20's) approached our seats and said, "I think you're in our seats". I said no, here is my ticket. Sure enough, we were in the right seats, but his ticket also showed the same seats. Weird huh? Then he said.."Oh...I see the problem, you're here one night too early, you're supposed to be here tomorrow night!" Oh my god!!! How could I have messed up like this! I always keep an itinerary in a folder of every show and meal we're supposed to be at. Well, we had to leave, but when we left the theater I remembered my pocket book was still on the arm of the seat! :eek: I asked the usher to go in and get it, but she said once the lights are out and the show begins, nobody is allowed to open the door. "I gotta have my pocketbook!!!!! Please please get it for me!!!!" She crawled in the door on her hands and knees, down a few rows to our seats and had to bother the whole row to look for my pocketbook! She found it, but she was not very happy. All I could think of was how humiliated I was! :o We had the same usher the next night, and she was laughing at us with the other ushers. I was beet red, but wow, Danny Gans was worth the embarrassment!

I enjoyed reading everyones embarrassing moments, and I hope I can come up with another Topic of the Week again!!

TWICE!!!! while eating at the Rio Buffet, I have come with my plate, and sat down at the wrong table. The first time, the table was empty and I figured my husband was still getting his dinner. I started eating for about 10 MINUTES, and finally a couple came over with their plates, and said "Sorry, this is our table." Oh boy!
The second time I was not paying attention and had my plate and just sat down, and there was a couple looking at me like I was nuts. My husband was within a few feet and was dying!
So, always remember where your CORRECT seating is.

[Bosco]

These are great! Glad I've never had an embarrasing moment while in Vegas!;) At least that I remember. I'm sure my buddies would think otherwise.

[bearcat]

My wife and I were sightseeing at the opposite end of the strip where we were staying. We started at Mandalay, rode the tram to excalibur, toured the NY & MGM & Excalibur. On the way back, riding the tram, we talked about stopping at the luxor. Okay so I was not paying attention when the tram made the stop at the luxor, my back turned to the croud and my nose pressed against the window looking out at the sights, my mind in the ozone. The tram started moving, I turned to talk to my wife, and like magic she was gone. Now folks when this happens, do you stay on the tram and go back to the luxor? Or, do you assume your wife would meet you at mandalay? Or, perhaps she will meet you back at the hotel? Let's just say my decision making was bad that day, but fortunately lady luck was not at the tables, she was outside with me. After about fourty minutes we ran into each other looking for each other. And yes, she was not very happy!

[Steve]

I think Eileen should have posted this but maybe she can think of another moment.

We were at the Las Vegas Hilton and we were playing a slot that we were having no luck on. The guy next to us could do no wrong, hitting something almost every spin. I told Eileen. "let's change machines." I guess the guy felt sorry for us and handed me two quarters and said "maybe these luck quarters will help." I looked at him and said "maybe it will but this is a 3 coin slot and I only play max coins." The guy actually handed me another quarter !!!

I think Eileen was really embarrassed :rolleyes:

[gina777]

I was standing in a long check-in line at the Las Vegas Hilton and had to use the ladies room ,so I asked the man behind me to save my spot as I hurried off to the bathroom. When I was walking back across the crowded lobby I noticed several people in the line looking at me and pointing at my feet--- it was then I realized that I had a 2 foot long piece of toliet paper stuck to my shoe!

[Nancy from Indiana]

A couple we used to go to Vegas with (J & B) were seated in the restaurant of a Vegas hotel. After perusing the menu, B decided on an entree, and placed his napkin on his lap, which he said means that he is ready to order.
When the waitress came by, he said, "do you know what this means?" pointing to the napkin placed on his lap but the napkin had fallen to the floor and he was pointing to his crotch.

[mturner]

hey stacydaze, i think we would like to know if you walked in on your husband and the maid, the maid walked in on you and your husband or your husband walked in on you and the maid?

yea... no kidding... ( you covered all the scenerios-- ones that i hadn't thought of )

[JMVegas5866]

In 2000 me and a few friends and family were staying at the Venetian. So one day my uncle told us to meet up downstairs for dinner at Valentinos at a certain time. So me and my cousin got downstairs early to wait for the rest of the family and friends to show up. So were're waiting and waiting. I'm talking to my cousin (I'm facing towards the resturant and he's facing toward the casino) and my cousin say's "Oh wow! There's Barry Sanders!" For those of you who may not know who Barry Sanders is he was a great running back for the NFL Detroit Lions football team. So my sousin was like " Come on lets go up to him and grab a picture!". I said "Nah, leave him alone, he's probably trying to enjoy himself and have a night out." So my cousin disreguards that and chases Barry Sanders down and says "Excuse me! Excuse me sir! Are you who I think you are?" Meanwhile I'm like crackin up laughin from my cousin asking that question. So my cousin waves me over, since I'm the one that has the camera, and tells me to get over there and come take our pictures with him. By that time we were ready to get a photo with Barry and 2 other people from our dinner pary show up. So naturally now they want a picture with him too. So I am the one that goes first to get my picture taken. So my cousin is all ready to snap the picture and all I see are these 2 Venetian security guards come running up and say "No! You can't take a picture here in this area!" Turns out I didn't realize in back of us was part of the coin redemption cage and also the enterance to where the count room is. The guards were like "Please move down that way and take the picture." I told them this guy was Barry Sanders and all I wanted to do was snap a quick picture and let the man be on his way. I wasn't plotting to take top secret pictures of the count room. So after that we all moved a few feet down away from the coin redemption and count room enterance and Barry was nice enough to take a minute to snap some pictures. After we were all done he went on his way but other people ended up realizing who he was and went up to him too. I told my cousin "See what happend now. Now everyone and their mother is going to bug him for a picture and autograph."

[Shadow]

We were on a girls vacation, and were walking through the Venetian. We came upon a wax figure of Harrison Ford and some other guy. They were advertising for the Wax Museum. There was a sign that stated these wax figures were different from other Wax Museums. It was fine to touch them. As we were standing there trying to figure out who the "other guy" was next to Harrison Ford, my friend touched his face and said "He sure feels real". At that point, the "other guy" reached out and touched her face and said "You feel real too". My friend screamed so loud and jumped back so fast she tripped over another person, and security came running because of her screams. The rest of us laughed so hard we almost fell over. The "other guy" kept apologizing for scaring her. He was working for the Wax Museum handing out discount coupons. Later in the day we were walking around and saw him again, and he came up to my friend and apologized again. We still laugh about it today.

[Pops904]

I,er, "eliminated" the witnesses and cleaned up the scene really good...the only way to really be sure that "Whatever Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas", so the alleged "incident" never happened...although it is fairly famous due to the creative use of the snow blower...but I've said enough already...

but that's just me...

[imaplumr]

About 15 or so years ago, a buddy and I and my Uncle stayed at the Trop. We flew out on some small airline called Independent Air. (Now Defunct). At about 2am we all went to a little cafe inside Barbary Coast. There where only 1 or 2 other people in there. The waitress came and took our drink order and left. My Uncle proceeded to flatulate loudly. The smell was horrid and we where all laughing so hard , when the waitress returned. She got about 5 feet from the table and abruptly stopped when she smelled the foul stench and said "O MY GOD". We just got up and ran out laughing hysterically. The following day we called our line to make sure everything was on time for our flight home. We where informed all 3 of there planes where broken, and we would be delayed 24 hours. Perfect, I am dead broke and now a bonus 24 hours in Vegas. The put us up at the Hacienda and gave us some buffet coupons. Redd Foxx's XXX rated show was there and I did'nt even have the $10 bucks or so to go see him. We just went up to our room to relax. My buddy dropped his lighter on the floor and it bounced under the bed. He lifted the comferter to look under the bed and jumped back with a surprised look on his face. He ran and got a coat hanger, untwisted it to make a hook and pulled out an 18" Black DILDO out from under the bed. Needless to say that was House keepings tip we left on the table. Receiveed a $150 Voucher from Independent Air and the went Belly-up 2 months later

My mom "lives" to embarress me and has succeeded on many occasions, but Vegas is her favorite place to "get me". I am quiet and shy and she is loud and boiterous. Anyway, a few year back we were at Johnny Seatons show at the MGM. Mom had "really" been enjoying herself and Johnny just kept interacting with her. I was already embarressed by her behavior and begged her to stop and just enjoy the show. For those of you that have seen his show you know at one point he gives away scarves and expects to get the crowd wound up a bit. Well, there goes mom...here is this 67 year old lady climbing up onto the bar, screaming. I was doing my best to stop her. Johnny realized things had gotten a bit out of hand so he tossed the scarf to her and asked her to take her seat. Oh no......she starts telling him exactly what she would like to do with him all the while I am begging her to get down and behave. If that is not bad enough, here comes security. Yes you got it right. She was physically removed from the bar and WE were escorted out and put in a cab back to our hotel her protesting all the while. To close, all the way back to the hotel she is recanting her story to the cabby. I am so embarressed all I can think about is getting her back to the Fremont and turning her over to my dad. We arrived back at the Fremont and go to the elevator..my intent is to get her to her room and flee. The elevator opens and there stands my dad and husband, they were just on their way back to the casino. I yelled Thom get your butt out here, dad take her to your room and do something with her while I shoved her into the elevator and pushed the button. I was so focused on getting her away from me that the other 3 people in the elevator got the pleasure of "riding" with her and dad. They were not too happy to be treated as such and complained about the "crazy lady." Me not her!!! And no no booze was involved in this trick. We left the Fremont for the evening so as not to run in to mom or any of the elevator folks. Post script....I'm too sensitive!!!

[legalois]

We checked into the IP, got our room keys and went to the room. We opened the door to see a man, dressed in a security uniform, just zipping up his pants in our bathroom!

Come on now, this is suppoed to be a clean room, with a freshly sanitized toilet, for crying out loud!

He didn't explain, just left the room. I don't think he washed his hands, either!

The more I thought about it, the weirder I thought it was, but I didn't know who to ask about it. I ended up asking someone at the Security Desk, but they acted like I was the weird one and smirked about it.

[dscs007]

I guess that I've been lucky and haven't embarrassed myself in Vegas ..... but I sure am enjoying reading about everyone else. LOL

The second year we went out there, we were only 22. The previous year, we had ordered drinks we knew, but decided this year we would order drinks we had heard of, but never tried. My friend, for some reason, was embarassed to ask for anything other than a beer, so I told him to sit next to me and just say "I'll have one too" after I ordered.

About 1:00 in the morning at a BJ table in Excalibur, I ordered a Margarita, and of course, he pulled the "I'll have one too." We got our drinks, and moments later, I heard a terrific gagging noise. We all turned to look, as my friend stopped choking and yelled "Someone got salt all over the glass!"

Easily one of my top ten memories of Las Vegas.

[thompsj3]

We were on a girls vacation, and were walking through the Venetian. We came upon a wax figure of Harrison Ford and some other guy. They were advertising for the Wax Museum. There was a sign that stated these wax figures were different from other Wax Museums. It was fine to touch them. As we were standing there trying to figure out who the "other guy" was next to Harrison Ford, my friend touched his face and said "He sure feels real". At that point, the "other guy" reached out and touched her face and said "You feel real too". My friend screamed so loud and jumped back so fast she tripped over another person, and security came running because of her screams. The rest of us laughed so hard we almost fell over. The "other guy" kept apologizing for scaring her. He was working for the Wax Museum handing out discount coupons. Later in the day we were walking around and saw him again, and he came up to my friend and apologized again. We still laugh about it today.


Thank goodness she touched his face!

To stevejgass, whose evening with a 10+ was cut short by white pants turning brown, my first reaction was that either you were making up the story or you were very naive. However, I have a friend who had a similar date with a full night of wining, dining and dancing and ended in the lady's hotel room. They got in bed together and then she announced that "this is going to cost you $$" (where $$ was a large amount at the time). After already spending a considerable amount of money on her and thinking that she had really enjoyed being with him, he was deeply hurt and angry, so he grabbed the bucket of ice in her room, dumped it on her nude body, dressed himself and left! Years later, he still felt hurt by the experience, although he was married at the time and had no intentions to leave his wife for this woman. (His wife died a few years later in a tragic auto accident, unaware that this incident had taken place.)

To stevejgass, whose evening with a 10+ was cut short by white pants turning brown,

I've gotta tell ya, so far, that's my favorite.

We sat down to see George Carlin, and my husband spilled his entire drink on the stranger next to us. The guy left and changed pants, then came back about halfway through the show. I felt sooooo badly.
I also fell asleep while eating "breakfast" in one of the smaller restaurants ( maybe the only one, for all I know! ) in Barbary Coast,head on the table,out like a light, while my husband ate *both* our meals like nothing was odd..... but, hey, who hasn't done THAT ?
One of the funniest moments I remember having in Vegas was on our trip from the airport to out hotel. We took some kind of shuttle that stopped at a TON of hotels, and we were all crammed in it like sardines....ended up at a stoplight where right out of the lefthand window was a waaaay too close view of some guy squatting by his front tire at a gas pump. He had such a BAD case of "plumber's butt"...at least five inches of hairy crack,it was repulsive,lol. Well, the ENTIRE shuttlebus noticed, and we were ALL laughing our asses off and moved in our seats to make sure that everyone got a quick look. I guess ya had to be there.....
.............The bus ride *into* Vegas is always so slap happy and fun...the trip *out*, solemn and quiet,lol.

[yoopergal]

This thread is soooo easy....lol. Back in the eighties I was a young twenty- something on my first trip to Vegas. As a non-gambler, I was eager to learn various games. I read a book about craps, and I decided to observe for awhile prior to approaching the table.

I'm a woman, and at the time, the crap table was full of men playing, no women. I was standing approximately six feet from the table, close enough to observe but far enough that I wasn't in anybody's way.

I'm no Dolly Parton, but I'm not lacking in the boob department, either. I was wearing a blouse with the top button open. I was wearing a v-neck sweater
over the blouse. Nothing hanging out like many of the women you see in Vegas.

A man at the opposite end of the crap table through the dice, they hit the table, bounced up, went through the air, and right down my blouse! If that wasn't bad enough, the dice were stuck in my blouse and they would not come out. Needless to say, the men at the table, as well as the employees were laughing hysterically. I asked if I could go to my room to remove the dice, and the pit boss said no because I could "load the dice" (yeah, right, like this guy and I practiced that dice roll). Eventually, the dice did come out and the pit boss gave me some souviner dice.

Prior to that, I had been playing for several days at the blackjack tables. One of the dealers told me he meets so many people all of the time and he forgets them. He told me he would always remember me and my aunt. So guess who was filling in as the stickman at the crap table that day? You guessed it, the blackjack dealer who said he'd never forget me....lol.

To this day, I have never been near a crap table again.

"What is the most embarrasing moment that has ever happened to you in Las Vegas"!

Aside from going into the mens room instead of the ladies room twice (at the Flamingo, and the LV airport) nothing else embarassing has happened to me.;)

[brouff]

Many years ago, before moving to Las Vegas, I came out on a vacation with my buddies. I was young and stupid and lost my entire $400 bankroll before even checking into my room. We were supposed to be there for three days. There's nothing worse than being broke in Sin City, and my so-called friends wouldn't loan me any money. This was in the days before ATM's. All I had left was my bus ticket. I got the heck out of town that night, and barely had enough change for a grilled cheese sandwich in Barstow.

Note from Steve:

Brian Rouff is the author of the critically acclaimed books "Dice Angel" and "Money Shot." I highly recommend both of them. I even have a review in later editions of "Dice Angel."

[momule1]

Years ago (my first visit to LV) while staying at the Dunes I needed to cash a check. Told to go to cashier's window. Being totally inexperienced, I noticed what others were doing at the window. Gentleman in front of me took quite some time, appearing to also be cashing a check, and I noticed he put a huge role of money into his pocket.

At the window I was asked if I was staying at the hotel. Replying in the affirmative, I was asked to complete a short form indicating address, salary and bank. Handing it to the cashier I was asked how much? Proudly, I said 50"; to which she replied "fifty thousand?" Shocked, I replied, "no fifty dollars." She then said, while wadding up the short form I had completed and tossing it in the waste can "well, then, we sure as hell don't need this?"

[AnnPedi614]

being that anything goes in vegas....how could anything be embarrasing???
one year our friend was staying at the mirage & he got off the wrong floor
& tried using his key to get into supposably his room-the woman in the room
started screaming & he started screaming "what are you doing in my room?"-
the security came & it all got straightened around-too funny!!!!!!!

I have actually done this, only there was no one in the room, just people walking down the hall that got quite a chuckle out of my mistake!! I was embarrassed, I blamed it on the Cosmos I was drinking though.

[Rgiffen2]

This actually happened to me and later was on an episode of Las Vegas..but its true.
I was on a biz trip to LV and was staying alone at Paris. I left my room to go to the convention, returned to my room late that afternoon and saw my suitcase had been rifled through. I went into the bathroom and saw it had been used...someone "number twoed" and didn't flush. I freaked out and called my husband. He told me to call security. Secuity came into the room and wanted to see the "evidence". I had flushed when I freaked out.
They asked me a million questions all along the lines of "are you sure it wasn't you?"

I had a room full of security guards all looking into my commode. We determined nothing had been taken. I had to go downstairs and make out a full signed statement. Can you magine my statement???? I was mortified.

All I wanted was the bathroom cleaned, but Paris moved me into a huge suite. The suite was so big that I was scared to be alone after I realized that I could have walked into my room alone and found someone in the room. I later ran into the security agent who did the investigation and he said that hotels have "room pushers" who go up and down the halls and try to push open rooms that aren't closed tightly. He also said that the automatic key showed someone had gotten into my room without a key.

Another incident..hubby and I were staying at Caesar's in a suite. I had just taken a shower and put on a flimsy robe. My cell phone rang and I couldn't get a good signal, so I opened my door and leaned into the hallway...and the door slammed shut. Hubby was in another bathroom down the hall and couldn't hear me banging on door. I called the room...he didn't answer. All the neighbors heard me...and one called security. They opened the door for me and I was so embarrased!

[Play2Win]

:D Being asked if I wanted to go upstairs with a gorgeous blonde and her friend. I said I would, but wife and kids were upstairs asleep. First time in years of going to Vegas had I been approached in that manner. It was entertainment ... and my wife found it funny too.

[Janine926]

OMG, I was laughing so hard reading this.

[Rkleb1]

I believe it was Ceasars Palace when I getting ready to leave and walk onward with my hubby. I was putting something away in my belly bag on my waist. When done I noticed someone stopped in my way so as I started to look up I waved her to go ahead. Well, this person stood there so I just waved her on again so I could proceed. Again, she did not move. Finally I looked this person right in the eye and said "go ahead". Then I realzied that this mystery person was ME in a mirror reflection. My husband about peed his pants....we both had to sit down on the steps just outside to regain our composure.

Also was walking down the strip long ago again with husband on first trip there. Looking up by circus circus I was amazed with all the lights and glitter. I kept walking and walked right upon a fire hydrant between my legs. I fell over and got up.....everyone was laughing and so was I until I had huge black and blue bruises up and down the inside of my thighs for days.

[cindyinnj]

LOL Rkleb1...it was your reflection in the mirror? Thanks for my morning giggle:D

[Green Chip]

LOL Rkleb1...it was your reflection in the mirror? Thanks for my morning giggle:D

I second that one. One of the best ones yet!

[sonntex]

I went into the bathroom and saw it had been used...someone "number twoed" and didn't flush.

So funny, I laughed til I cried, because something similar happened to me one time. This was not in Las Vegas but at a local Horseshoe riverboat.

There was No. 2 in the pot, but it was my own. It stopped up the plumbing and we had to call maintenance to unstop it. I left the room and let hubby deal with the maintenance man. He has never let me live that down.:o :o :o

[shamrock77]

I wish there was only one, but I will only mention one. The rest fall under the what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas slot.

Few years ago was playing roulette one morning at a table that was packed. The waitress had just brought me a bloody mary which I didn't see her do. I had tipped her when I placed my order. Needless to say I knocked over the drink, olives, ice cubes were all over the entire table. Which they had to close in order to clean up the mess. The chips were actually all stuck together.

[GrandCanyon]

12 or so straight hours playing blackjack and I'm dealt a pair of sevens. I don't remember what the up card was. I told the dealer I wanted to double down. He asked me "Do you mean Split?", and I thought he was out of his mind. I told him that I wanted to double. Just then the floorman saunters over and the dealer tells him that I want to double down on a hard 14. I'm so tired (not a drop of alcohol in me by the way) I'm wondering what the heck all the comotion is about. Thank God I'm playing head up against the dealer or this really would have been bad. They finally ask me a third and a fourth time if I really want to double down on fourteen and I indignately reply that I do. So they give me my double card, I bust, my bet goes away, and when I realize that I didn't get a second card for what I thought I was splitting I feel about two inches tall.

[MissCyn]

I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread, but I just read it from beginning to end and am in tears laughing! I have to add my embarrassing moments too! My cousins, my boyfriends, and mine.

My cousin and I were staying at the Rio where she had been flirting with a bartender who in turn was making her VERY stiff drinks. We had planned to go over to Paris so I could get some sunset pictures from the tower. We got to Paris and she said she would wait for me in the casino until I got my pictures. She ended up leaving and going back to the Rio where she apparently forgot that she had a traveling companion and locked the bar on the door and passed out. When I got back to the hotel I could only get the door open about two inches. I could hear her snoring, but she couldn't hear me yelling her name, or ringing the room, or her cell phone. After 45 minutes I went back down to the casino and talked to the bartender. He said she stopped back and had another drink and that was it. I went back up an hour later and yelled her name again, and called her cell phone. She finally woke up, not because of me, but because nature called. Any time I ask her to do me a favor and she starts to say no I remind her of how she locked me in the hallway for hours.

My boyfriends embarrassing moment was actually caused by me when I dragged him to Le Village Buffet at Paris after dancing, drinking, and shooting craps all night. We got there when it opened and had a table out in the open area. My boyfriend ate one plate of food and fell sound asleep on the table. I had a glittery sliver purse and didn't want to carry it back up to the buffet with me so I hooked it onto his big, strong, manly arm while I made another plate. All of the waitresses kept commenting on how cute that purse was. When I was ready to go I tugged on his purse and he woke up. Lucky for me he was too tired and hungover to ask why he was holding my purse.

My embarrassing moment was after leaving some casino near Harrahs in the wee hours of the morning- I can't remember which one, actually I barely remember this happening- but my boyfriend and I were headed back to the Mirage and I guess Harrahs had washed down their sidewalk. My cute little gold shoes didn't like the water and WHOOP! I went down in front of a huge group of guys. I was so embarrassed that I jumped up really quickly and slipped again, luckily I didn't fall the second time. Everyone who was watching said "Whoa!!!" really loudly so more people could turn to watch. I also had a nasty dirty wet stain on my beige cotton pants- good thing for me that I was too tipsy to care! (Until the next morning that is!)
